  1. I do think today will be a total different game from both teams - I hope the events of the past week give the team the bit between their teeth from the off. 
     

    A wee 2-1 win for the saints. Wind up Ferguson, get the wee prat sent aff into the bargain! If CarlSberg done saints games 👍

    So will Aberdeen and Celtic be reviewed and deducted points??
    absolute shambles 

    Why ? Neither failed to fulfill a future. Totally different scenario they were ordered not to play by the Scottish Govt, Saints and Killie requested postponements as they were unable to field teams due to their own negligence. Had the SG not intervened the Aberdeen Celtic games would have been able to go ahead as they would have been able to field teams.

    Irrespective of the reason or who pulled the plug on the game, those clubs had games postponed one way or another due to breaching Covid rules. Flying to Spain and frequenting bars in Aberdeen. 
     

    Our guys, wrongly btw, car shared with the same lads with whom they’d make physical contact with on the pitch and at training. 
     

    Games missed by 4 clubs breaching covid rules - should result in the same punishment is my own opinion (irrespective of who pulled the plug on the game).

    We have played Aberdeen 5 times in just over a year and there is an Argument there we have been better team in 3/4 of those games but typically from St Mirren we lost 3 drew 1 and won 1.

    We now play them twice in a week and despite there good run after a poor start I don't think they are that good but we are pretty poor so to get anything we really need to up our game alot from what we have witnessed so far this season.

    On this point I agree. We’ve been the better team * at times.... however, Aberdeen have just had a bit more dig and physicality and bullied us out of points. Hope our luck can turn this week! 
     

    with the bench looking stronger than it has this season for us, we have options & I remain optimistic as to a 1-0/2-1 win!

    Our game not showing on Bet 365, do they know something we don't? 

    Don’t say that... we can’t afford more call offs 🙈

    let’s just put it down to an admin issue at their side.

    I have us down for an away win in my ‘WKW’ account with my mates (the only one who backed us. 😩). Good wee app for those who fancy a flutter amongst mates. 

    im

    feeling positive about this one. 1-0 edgy game with a goal from big Jon Obika is my prediction.

    I prefer Foley in central defence

    Midfield is a problem we just don't seem comfortable with the ball

    Hence the long balls up to the forwards when teams press us

    Yea - only thing was he got caught wrong sides a few times end of last season. However - I reckon he can do the job and hopefully going forward we won’t end up with further suspensions to JS. 2 at this stage of the season is disappointing. 
     

    ad for midfield, we could be doing with a Stephen McGinn esq player who can pick  a pass. Cammy can do that but was off his game Saturday.

    After such a dreadful injury, should Goodwin consider selecting Flynn to play on an artificial playing surface ?

    Too big a risk IMO.

    Aye, fair point. 
    probably not. To be honest, midfield we have cover, bigger concern is CB. I assume Foley will cover or even move Tait into defence. 
    Foley not quite been up to last seasons standards though.

    Injured. Think heard the commentator say that during the Morton game. Could be hes not fully recovered from the covid scare at the club. Just read that Obika was one of the worst effected players.

     

    Cheers for the update SPS. 

    Big Jon has came on fighting fit last few games. Doing his job. 
     

    Durmus is hit or miss but a good option to have. Hopefully fit soon too.

    Nope.  Goodwin can't be criticised for tonight.  His whole approach was to give those players who have had little game time, a chance.  Had that been a league game he would not have made so many changes.  Come on; examine the game! 

    And as I said. What about McAllister. Never played 90 mins on Sat?

    McAllister had the best game in a while for us and was looking dangerous and could use the game time and confidence. To take him off was just odd. 
     

    the new no7 looked lost too. Let’s just hope to win (even by a goal) on Saturday and atleast get some game time, establish a starting 11. 

  9. Goodwins subs and choices were a huge part in that f**k up tonight.

    it’s getting harder to watch in all honesty. Toothless and devoid of any consistent creativity. 

    I like Goodwin but I’m getting sick of the same old pish week in and out. I’m getting fed up watching it. 

    scunnered.

    Not Braehead, bit of walking with dog and fishing..go to bookies. Defo know a number of people who won't return to games after this.

    It’s all a difficult pill to swallow - having a ST & not being able to attend games and with no return date in sight. Just all a bit up in the air. 
    I know folk who just don’t feel the same about going back, but for now, I’ll continue to watch on tv (it just isn’t the same) and hope that when we do return to grounds, my passion re-ignites. 

    the start of the season and the first couple of performances really filled me with optimism, but now, it’s BAU, which again, is just hard to watch... especially at home without the banter and ability to be amongst the fans 

  11. Just now, div said:

    I must confess I haven't actually listened to the podcast, only went by the comments I saw attributed to him in the press.

    In those he said the system was open to abuse. He didn't actually say that we had abused it.

    He's a fanny, I'm just surprised he managed to rile so many people!

    I’m glad saints responded and in kind, like you, I am only going by statements I read (not heard).

    What I’d really like to hear/read now is more information updates on the club, for them to engage with the fans and be more informative as to how we are getting on.

    i hope this improves across the season and moving forth. 
     

    Something just seems amiss at the club just now & im not sure what it is or why. But on to Saturday and what is a huge game for us.... 

     

    anyone know if it’s going ahead?
