Hen's teeth unfortunately. We couldn't afford an established goalscorer so we need to rely on scouting and luck. I think probably the latter more than the former.

Totally the money required for a decent goal scorer rules us out. That said I do believe the manager will want better options than he has already

Jamieson and Strain asleep for the third goal. Thats really not good enough. Poor defending from the two subs

Yes it was poor- I actually thought Elvis had his best game for us on Saturday I would not have changed him. I get Strain was leaving but I wanted not to lose . As for Jamieson I’m hoping he will come good and perhaps a short loan til Christmas might help him? I haven’t seen too much yet to suggest he will be pushing for our starting eleven and defensively he needs to improve too. 

I felt at the time it looked a pen. I’m sorry but the game up here isn’t fair. Can u imagine Celtic needing to win games 2-2 and this happens in our box ? Can u imagine no injury time either. 

Robinson has moved St Mirren on considerably 

It’ll take some time to get over this that’s if we do. I couldn’t see that happening at half time but we simply couldn’t cope with the direct play they threw at us

With all the excitement and mood change in the matter of a minute it is great reflecting on the fact that, at this point in the season, we are sitting on 42 points. For me this is a fantastic return. That, and the ability to keep fighting, show’s continued fantastic development as a team and a club. 

And the manager is the man who has transformed our team

We have had some great performances and results this season, but the struggles against the bottom feeders away from home have cost us big time. Take the point and move on  , but if we're playing Livingston and Ross Co when Kilmarnock are facing both cheeks and we can't make inroads it's poor stuff !

Yes I feel we had to win those two and take advantage. Kilmarnock look favourites for sure for 4th

Jeezo, poor attempt. 

I’ve seen nothing from Scott since he signed 

Big games coming now 

Elvia had a poor game he was rightly subbed off. Fraser too was poor which is unlike him to be fair. As for Ayunga I’m not sure yet but certainly Mandron is firmly our no 1 striker now. Sure he doesn’t have pace but he wins headers and for a big man his link up play and footwork are good. Kiltie not at his best should have scored but let’s just say Gogic is outstanding and we need to go all out to secure his services 

All the lads work hard and have different qualities but they don’t score goals and if we are to be able to stay too six we’re going to need a lot more from them. I don’t know that they have what it takes certainly there is no evidence of it but we will support them all the way 

Pity if fit he could be the difference

I hope it’s not Jamieson 

Why? He’s hardly prolific - I’d say it’ll do him good cos he wasn’t interested on sat. Scott will probably play in his position. I’d think a loan and a few goals might be what’s required .

At the first goal it would have helped if Taylor wasn't having a tour of the club deck, not for the first time he's caught totally out of position costing us. someone needs to tell him this 

Taylor is a decent footballer but he’s found out of position far too often. I’d think now is the time to rest him for a few games and see if we can tighten up. I’d put Gogic back in the middle of the park and see if they could free up o Hara to get forward more like last term. That said none of of strikers look to have any goals in them at present. I knew we would hit a sticky point and this seems to be it. The thing is these next three games would be good to win as it’s a tough run after that. I’m hopeful that the boys will get back into the groove soon

Boyd Munce won’t replace Keanu

Left st mirren a while ago.

For nothing?

FFS

I’d hope that we will negotiate the next three games get into the last 16 and generate some cash with a wee cup run. In the next two weeks I imagine we might see a bit of movement in and out with a striker a priority

Looks like a useful addition to our striker options.

Time will tell if McMenamin and Nahmani will improve our cutting edge from last season.

And there is also Greive, Ayunga, Olusanya + Offord and Jamieson champing at the bit.

Could be interesting to see who become established as regular starters this season.

Grieve, Olusanya, Offord and Jamieson will not score the goals we need sadly 

Much prefer black shorts and don’t mind black or white socks 

Terrible deal desperate for money mate - 

Perhaps many carrying knocks T present - it would be nice if we could get some more depth to our squad next year - had we had that this year I’d like to think we might have done a little better in the last 8 matches 

Post split Fraser has been very poor

The left back position will need to be addressed. Dunne hasn’t had a bad season but the past couple of weeks he’s been poor. 

Left with Karen SLO and she will be at gate 77 until 3.10

thanks
