Can't wait to hear the opinion of those who were screeching to get Baird back in the team, purely because Buchanan was incapable of single handedly stopping Livingston from scoring against us. With any luck it'll be a long road back for Jack, not that Buchanan is much better. Baird is just far too unreliable.
Hard to achieve such a feat when you're a bit part player reduced to mostly sub appearances. Like our other summer signing in Reilly, he has a good record in the championship and is looking to put a poor couple of seasons behind him.
I'd be delighted if we could get Graham in.
Don't think we should be getting ahead of ourselves, been here a million times before with Saints and it never ends well. I'll reserve my confidence until after these tough opening 4 fixtures. Derbies are always unpredictable and form never counts. I'll settle for three points however we get them.
[emoji23][emoji23] So after he signed for Falkirk he said the same shite every player says when he signs for a club. Money talks bud. Saints couldn't offer him what he wanted. If we did he'd be a St. Mirren player.
Not my understanding going by quotes attributed to JR in the press.
My take is that Loy was open to coming back, he just wanted more money on the table and thought Saints could offer it, never got it and went to Falkirk.
It happens.
Thought the same for a while now. Great record in this league with and has been decent in the Premiership wherever he's went without being an automatic pick.
Happy to see Harry come back. Assuming he stays injury free, he'll be a good signing. Problem we still have is nothing to do with our centre halves and everything to do with our brand of attacking football, It leaves us open when we commit so many bodies forward. We don't play a defensive midfielder, we play two playmakers. That's the issue. Maybe a shift to 4-3-3 rather than 4-2-3-1 might tighten us up in midfield a bit.
ST MIRREN: Samson, Irvine, Buchanan, MacKenzie, Stelios, Smith, McGinn, McShane, Morgan, Stewart, Reilly Stewart in ahead off Sutton. Disappointed in that.
Dundee Utd sign their second keeper this week. Looks like Cammy Bell is offski. They've also signed Sam Stanton on loan from Hibs. Never been overly impressed with the lad.
Don't know why a throwaway comment has irked you so? Really wasn't meant to spark a debate. At the end of the day friendlies are only worthwhile if players get a run out and finish the match injury free. Maybe you should take yourself for a walk and catch some of that sea air. Chill out.
At the end of the game JR said it was a worthwhile exercise, the question now is does he still think it was worthwhile. I'm not asking for your crystal ball mate.
Obviously referring to the friendly. Not sure how you didn't get that. Friendlies are only worth it if the players get a decent workout and remain injury free. We've now potentially lost one our first names on team sheet for a considerable length of time.
