In the last three transfer windows, Alfie Mawson, James Bree, Marc Roberts, Angus MacDonald, Josh Scowen, Connor Hourihane, Marley Watkins, and Sam Winnall have all moved on to clubs with bigger budgets and got bigger wage packets to boot, add to that Paul Heckingbottom, and about 7 or 8 loan players who have gone on to secure jobs at bigger budget clubs, due to us helping develop them and giving them a stage to showcase their talents, I’d say we’re well and truly a stepping stone to better things for a lot of players.
I don't really regard QPR, Norwich, Birmngham, Hull etc as a step up. But I get your point that they may be earning more.
Good luck finding a new manager !!!!!

It will have as much chance of further motivating them as it has of anything else.You seriously don't think this will effect the team on Saturd.

Our recruitment team have been working wonders recently, we’ve had some really really good players at the club in the last couple of years, most of whom have moved on to bigger budget clubs, on bigger wages, our last two head coaches also moved to bigger budget clubs on bigger wages. Our club is proven to be a stepping stone to bigger and better things for most of the people who pass through it, this’ll have massive appeal to any prospective head coach.
I would disagree that Barnsley is "proven to be a stepping stone to bigger and better things for most of the people who pass through it". Quite the opposite in fact, most players head down the way apart from a few folk like Mawson, Stones and Steele. Best of luck to you guys though :-)

Maybe we need to agree to disagree.
Eckersley instead of Stelios, a home game, a ref with balls..... I think we could beat them. And they're supposedly the 2nd best team in the country. -
No, they were better than us. They didn't make disasterous decisions like Stelios did. Their keeper didn't jump into the net.OK so it was the pitch and the ref. !! Not that we were beaten by a team who have much more quality than we do.
Their midfielders did better than us, controlling the ball in 2 touches instead of our 3 ;-)
They should have been down to 10 men. Would it have allowed us to get back into the game? Probably not, but it would have helped. -
I said it was a factor, not the main reason. I think it was a factor as to why our players needed 3 touches to control the ball and why we were so shite in the 2nd half.If you think the pitch was anything to do with Stelios not staying on his feet and giving away a stupid penalty then fine. If you think the pitch contributed to McShane and McGinn jogging back for the second goal then fine and if you think the pitch was to blame for Stelios terrible header then fine.
We were well beaten. The pitch was not the reason.
Other factors include Stelios, Samson and the ref not sending someone off for a studs up foul when already booked.
I'm pretty sure we would have done a lot better if the game had been in Paisley, but we'll never know. -
The pitch was a disgrace, but if you think players that are used to a pristine pitch are not disadvantaged by being asked to play in a field, fair enough.rubbish!!
-
That pitch is definitely to their advantage. Not the main reason why we're losing, but definitely a factor.

I'd let Duffy, McCart (only because the centre backs a re now fit or there abouts), Sutton and Hilson (due to Fitness problems) go in a flash.
McCart's loan deal will expire after this weekend anyway.

As for the actual sending off, it happened right in front of me, I hadn't looked away, was looking right at it. There was contact, but it wasn't his elbow, it was around his forearm, and was absolutely unintentional. It should have been a booking, it absolutely was not a sending off. Again, it was right in front of me, I saw this very clearly, and unless I see video evidence that shows me something I somehow missed, my opinion won't be changing on it. Never a red card.
Happened right in front of me as well. I agree that it wasn't an absolute, definite red card offence, but it was certainly of the type that asks the ref to make a decision between a yellow and a red. Sometimes you get one, sometimes the other.
Fundamentally disagree that it wasn't the key reason we lost. With 11 on the pitch we would not have let Hutton and Carswell boss the midfield like they did. -
Walsh is a good player. Maybe a bit lazy but there's a good player there.
-
Mental from Stelios.
Can't see him featuring much from now on. -
Nice one. I hate him more than any other footballer.

Doubt we'll have anyone back ready to start except MacKenzie by then. Like your optimism.
Magennis is back in training this week and the Morton game is still 4 weeks away. Surely he'll be back in contention.

What league were the "8 in a row" games in?
The old First Division, so the same level as we're at now. We beat Morton, Falkirk, Arbroath, Queen of the South, Dundee, Dumbarton, East Fife and Clydebank.
We also managed a 4-1 win against Dundee Utd in the Scottish Cup mid-way through the run. So 9 home games won in a row, which we will match with another win on Saturday (fingers crossed). -

Well done! An all time great Saints goal in there as well. -
5 home wins in a row. Any guesses as to the previous time we managed that?

Can anyone confirm if our tickets stipulate the away end or a certain stand etc. As there is rumours on twitter the home end tickets don't say anything meaning in theory but one and gain entry into the away end because if it didn't scan if the new turnstiles are installed at away end you could just show steward the ticket to override it and get in if don't say home or away end if mention a stand
My head hurts.

This thread is a complete joke and somes up the moaners on bawa to a t. This was about st mirrens 4-1 win and its tuned into an argument yet again. They way fans are going on is like its the end of the world. Like fights started, Things getting broke. People getting lifted, you would think that by the way people are going on. (Bet half moaning didn't even go) nonsense none of that.
First game of the season and its a long train journey. Moods are high and everyone has maybe had one too many. But lets be honest you would expect that. As i recall it was black and white army that posted oh its going to be a messy one.
All be it some songs maybe should be kept on the bus and the drum shouldn't get played on the train is it really worth stating them as "neds" and crying about.
I for one am happy that st mirren have young guys who have fought to get w7 into a singing section and help make the place feel like love street. For years the place has felt like a funeral.
We are all in this together. Enough of the constant us vs them. Cause want to know whats funny, its not even the young ones starting an argument.
Mon the saints.Well said. One thing's for sure, it wasn't our contingent of grumpy old men that lifted the team and the fans last season. The young fans getting organised has been the best thing to happen to this club in years.

Sounds like a bunch of boring old farts jealous of young folk having a good time to me.

He came through same time as Lewis in think he's a year left may well go.out on loan or be released would imagine
Yeah, they both started to feature regularly (though really just sub appearances for Morgan) in the second half of 2014/15. You're right, he's under contract for 1 more season.

Earliest possible league winning date is now the 3rd April (when we don't have a game).
My prediction......7th April away to Brechin.
