For me it's still Craig Levein. In a nutshell. There's absolutely no denying this mans experience as an SPL manager. Too many people being short sighted and only looking at his time in the Scotland hotseat. Sometimes it just doesnt work out for manager at specific clubs. After guiding Hearts to third he gets a gig at Leicester, it doesn't work out. Comes back up to Scotland gets the Dundee Utd job after Ian McCall and Gordon Chisholm had turned them into an utter shambles and turns them around. Levein comes up trumps in some pretty key areas. He's obviously a very good SPL manager after his stints with Hearts and Utd, can spot a bargain in the lower leagues. Craig Conway, Danny Swanson and Morgaro Gomis come to mind all key players in their run to the Scottish Cup when they won it. Youth players as well bringing through Goodwillie and Johnny Russell. He's absolutely perfect for St. Mirren. Too many people talking about Paul Hartley and Iain Murray. Lennon once came into this category of being a good up and coming manager punching above his weight and it got us nowhere. Levein for me. We need SPl experience and we need it now.

St Mirren V Aberdeen Top League 15/2/14
Dan Is The Man replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
Two things i'm sure of. Danny won't be manager next year and Djemba Djemba ain't going to Brazil. -
Dundee United V St Mirren Scottish Cup 5Th Rd 8/2/14
Dan Is The Man replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
We could easily have played the second formation today bud. Thomspon needs a runner up front and someone for McGowan to pick out. Would have had Campbell up top with Thommo and dropped Newton bringing him on later when Djemba Djemba tired. Its hard for Gowser to be a playmaker if theres nobody willing to run in behind defences. -
Dundee United V St Mirren Scottish Cup 5Th Rd 8/2/14
Dan Is The Man replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
Square pegs, round holes. His insistence on playing central midfielders in wider areas is astonishing. I'm not even sure Danny knew what formation he was playing today. The reason why Gowser has been woeful this year is because he has absolutely nobody to aim for when he gets the ball high upfield. Thompson simply doesn't have the movement or pace to play up top himself, he's a target man not a poacher who desperately needs a partner. McGowan isnt the answer. Kello Naismith MacGregor MacCausland Kelly Djemba Djemba/Goodwin McGinn Teale Wylde Campbell/Magennis Thompson Kello Naismith MacGregor Macausland Kelly Djemba Djemba/Goodwin McGinn Mclean Mcgowan Campbell/Magennis Thompson We should really be playing a variation of these two with the players we have at out disposal. -
Hibernian V St Mirren Top League 21/9/13
Dan Is The Man replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
End of an era. Shame. Bought my season ticket before last season had even ended. Was thinking the League Cup was gonna be a watershed moment for Saints and we were gonna kick on. Experienced players dumped and only two experienced players brought in. Never felt more ripped of in my life. -
St Mirren V Motherwell 14/09/2013
Dan Is The Man replied to insaintee's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
I've given up. The thing that's most depressing about today's game is that Motherwell offered nothing in attack and still beat us. Woeful. If i was even remotely encouraged by the performances i would be happy to go on. I hate changing managers, i hate the uncertainty that comes with changing managers but lets just get it over and done with. We don't even look as if we have a game plan anymore. He's bereft of ideas now. I'm happy for a shot on goal these days. That being said when you get given a penalty then have it taken of you that's when you know luck simply isn't going your way. -
What Would Be Your First Choice Xi And Formation ?
Dan Is The Man replied to div's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
For me Macausland has to come out. The defence needs a balance to it that it doesnt have right now. If Goodwin is the composed experienced leader his partner needs to be a solid aggressive athlete. Cheesy simply isn't that. That been said ive been really disappointed with Goodwin lately his positional sense as a centre half is abysmal. Grainger's had to cover for him plenty of times. Another disappointment is the lack of a natural left winger add to that the fact that Higginbotham ran the show for Thistle yesterday and he was available on a free in the summer. Do we have a scouting network or do we just wait for agents to hand us dvds? -
Super Saints V Maryhill Magyars League 31/8/13
Dan Is The Man replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
Can't believe how bad its gotten. Players out of position, no shape, no hunger. Defenders ball watching. Partick deserved it today, never known a team that capitulates like St. Mirren, only team thats nervous when they're winning. I can't see Lennon coming back from this, players have let him down big time. Four midfielders with the ball comfortable at their feet and we could barely retain the ball. Back to basics. -
Fantasy Footy - The St Mirren League

End of the transfer window at least before you play the wildcard. Waiting for Bale to move is the key. Chelski have halted that though, stealing Willian. -
Fantasy Footy - The St Mirren League
Dan Is The Man replied to blairyboy's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
I was two seconds away from picking Benteke as my captain, i instead went for Hazard. Big mistake. Could've been at the top end of the table instead of mid table mediocrity. -
Delighted for Welsh wonder. Not much difference between the Etihad and St Mirren Park. Two great footballing arenas.

Ok I Will Start It Sack Danny
Dan Is The Man replied to kilwinningbuddie's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
Not when fans are paying hundreds of pounds on a season ticket should we be looking to next season. No wonder the prices were reduced this year. -
Same old shite.

Unfortunately not. Don't think there would be much demand for it.

So What's The Ideal Starting 11 This Season?
Dan Is The Man replied to bazil85's topic in General St. Mirren Discussion
I reckon Harkins will play behind Thommo in a free role, not Gowser. Harkins seems the better finisher than McGowan. Gowser i reckon will play a bit like a deep lying playmaker a bit like what Luka Modric does. By the sounds of it McGinn played pretty decent at left wing yesterday. So i would imagine Lennon would be encouraged by that. -
you guys are more than welcome to invite any of your mates that play the game as well.

You can have Dave Barron back if you want. Absolute waste of a wage. Constantly injured.
-
she is.

She is a he.

Possibly, but he must be one of the biggest earners considering he's one of the players being offered a pay cut and he certainly doesn't seem to be playing ball. They might be inclined to punt him just to get him of the wage bill.

I'd be stunned if we weren't looking at Sutton, We were interested in him before he was punted to Australia a couple of seasons back and clearly wants out of Hearts. Only club he was linked with has signed a striker and cant see him going back down south. Excellent SPL striker and clearly an improvement on Big Sam.
