That makes sense then.

Fair enough. I haven’t seen a lot of him but by all accounts he’s a decent player. The defence, Shaugnessey is the call for me. I’m not sure why he’s not getting much of a start tbh

With Ayunga out now Grieve out and Tony Watt, well not quite looking settled - we are looking a bit light up front. Is there an option to call back Brophy? also - Shaugnessey has surely to get a start now?

I was reading about this…. 1,500 is what I saw. I also saw some images of it and it’s tiny. IF they get promoted would this meet the league standards for SPFL? watching this with interest. The other potential is Ayr, would be interesting to see them up. Again, stadium meet criteria? Share with Killie? The championship is an interesting league this year with these teams doing well and Hamilton on the brink of sliding down a league.

I actually remember this at the start of the season Tom English and Willie Miller talking us down saying we were in a battle to stay up. Willie Miller even last night showing how bitter he is. last laugh so far, is for us! Aberdeen I hope, go down, they have delusions of grandeur - truly believe they are something they will never be

Daunting to look too far ahead. Enjoying this season so far. Some great results & have been a pretty competitive side. As the old cliche - each game at a time. Focus is just getting a result against Hibs.

Munching through a slice of it as we speak. Happy to admit I was very wrong.

Great wee day. Took my daughter and the rest of our st Mirren girls academy squad and they were mascots and ball girls. Great day, good result

I think because we only have one game plan teams have found us out. ah well, was nice while it lasted lol

Exceptionally poor today

Yup, it seems that the fakes aren’t streaming the game to their plethora of overseas fans, so assume it’s just not on. Which is shite

Any links to the game today?

I was never one to slate Main tbh, and he’s came on bounds since SR took over; one of the early good points. As for my thoughts on SR, I said a few weeks back I didn’t think he was the right man & hope he proves me wrong. If/when we pick up some more points against teams we should be looking to compete with… if we do this, then I’ll be back on this thread, eating humble pie for sure. in the meantime, there’s been a marked improvement - not just in results but performance too. So, see you, hopefully in a few weeks with a big ‘I’m sorry I was wrong’ 😂

That would be money for nothing…

Hard to see a win today, or at all… but I’ll go in blind faith and maybe we can pull something out the bag and kick start our season….. most like be on here at 5 though, moaning about formation and my usual groans 😂

Ok, we weren’t as bad as I expected and thought manager got most things right. Though, ain’t gonna get many games easier than that one… see what happens, onward we go. positives; Ayunga was better than I’ve seen him, Strain looks no bad and Errahon is looking sharp. negatives: too many long balls and no cutting edge & didn’t make the most of having wee Jay on the park

The very small amount of the dire game I seen, yes, the fakes look pretty bad. All down to us now today…. Usually I’d make a prediction but I’m honestly not really sure as I can’t fathom the starting 11 or what formation etc as we’ve been a bit all over with this during cup run. so, going into this with an open mind and hoping for a strong start. Coys

Slightly off topic, but decided to watch some of the 3pm kick offs today on the auld dodgy tv stick…. stopped on the county v hearts game, County to their credit looked to have pushed on as a club and look a real attacking threat. Making hearts look pretty poor (maybe they are). Hoping SR has identified his best 11 and a formation to boot… we need to start strongly against a poor Motherwell. im gonna try stay optimistic….

Congrats - amazing news! Well done to her. 100%, would be good to see more coverage of the woman’s game IMO

My wee girl plays in the academy and hope one day she will make the top squad. fills me with pride every Sunday when she pulls on her saints top.

BBC sportsound has us favourite to be relegated & rightly so. I don’t think SR knows his best 11 or where to play them. I hope when the league campaign kicks off he proves me wrong

Coz he’s clueless. Simple really…

At best - I predict play off spot, obviously hoping that there’s one more team with a manager capable of making worse decisions & with less ability to adapt than ours does (kinda unlikely though)

Having time to think about it, sadly I didn’t expect us to win last night - which is a bad sign against a part time lower league team. This is a sign of the rapid decline we had since SR took over. Top 6? Nah, a play off place is a win for us at this point and time & I’d settle for this if we persist with the current management team.
