Unfortunatly Craig is going nowhere. Wont resign as it will be his last job at this level and i cant see the board acting anytime soon. They really have f**ked this one up. Dreadful appointment.

I think he looks like he has absolutly zero confidence. Not helped by his, and the teams dreadful start to season. Not giving up on him just yet. With Ball now off and running goals wise and looking better all round, hopefully Marwood can chip in with some assists and goals, for anyone playing as advanced as him i would expect him to get 5-8 goals a season and a fair few assists, especially with guys like Ball and Thompson up front. That said, the similarities to Kean and Guy are definetly there.

I actually feel sorry for Wylde. Seems to start one game, benched the next, 20 minutes next game then starts again. Doesnt seem to get a consistant run of games. Same happened last season as well. I thought he was going to be a big player this year as well

I thought he put a great shift in today. His passing was slack at times but certainly put a foot in when required. He can definetly be happy with what he done today.

Of course it makes a difference, Kello should be dealing with straight forward shots right at him. The defenders will share some reponsibility for their mistakes, Kello should take the blame when hes at fault

The St Johnstone game, IIRC, was one of the worst ever saints performances i can remember, Shuggie had a horror show (again if its the same game) The 2010 cup final will always be the low point for me as im too young for Hammarby

Im assuming the game is on BT sports so ill just watch on that. After Killie at the weekend i think ill give my sanity and wallet a break from away games for a while. We will win at some point. thats about as positive as i can be really

Yep he was superb. Absolute overkill to have him and Goodwin in the middle of the park IMO but Ozzy would get the nod everytime. Maybe timw to put Jim into centre half?

Tommy Craig has a history of this though. Think he seen 3 celtic managers, and hung around after Collins at Hibs and Le Chaleroi. Hes not cut out for it. That should be clear. It was a dreadful/lazy/cheap appointment and was always going fail.

99/00 season was the best ive ever seen as a saints supporter (being 29 years old) the football we played, amounts of goals scored and entertaining games involved in will take some beating, for that alone Tom Hendrie is a st mirren legend to me. as for the follwoing season? 00/01 we were a victim of being a properly run club, teams like killie, motherwell, dundee, dundee utd etc etc were spending millions they didnt have on players. After that season i think his stubborness took over, and things just didnt work out

Paul Dummett?

The minute Craig was appointed it set the tone for the season. Gilmour saying on radio that it wasnt the cheap option is an absolute embarrasement.

Disgraceful today. McAusland needs dropped, unfortunatly theres no one there to replace him. Kello needs to be dropped asap as well. Only positive i can think of is theres no games for a fortnight.

I appreciate we arent perfect, but f**k me, you are bloody grim. Cheer up, its only football.

its not a st mirren exclusive problem, i was in the killie and motherwell main stands for games last year (not v saints) and the atmosphere was non existant at both.

Hes miles off it fitness wise so probably too harsh to judge him yet

I can see why TC took the gamble, he was under pressure to get a win so turned to our talisman. The problem is Thommo is 34 (35?) years old, he shouldnt have been put in that position and its absolute madness that they thought he could do it. Even if he didnt need an injection he still shouldnt have started, there was no way he was anywhere near match fit. If hes out for another 6-8 weeks it will be an absolute disaster, with no pres season under his belt and at his age its going to be a real struggle to get him up and running when he is fit.

I would be tempted to leave John on the bench for a week or two, hes been pretty far off it so far this season, i know 442 has its drawbacks but i would go Kello Naismith McAuslan Plummer Tess Drury Goodwin McLean Wylde Ball Caldwell

Superb

Think it was Jamie Carragher that said you dont get natural full backs, they are either failed wingers or failed centre halfs.

I wouldnt think so as he must be over 35 by now, Are you thinking of Kevin Thomson? the injury prone, past it dud that Dundee signed? if so, he was deservedly taken to pieces

That was also the reason he left aberdeen, only to show up at Thistle after failing to get a club

Plummer is 20 next month and has played 6 league games (including 2 for us) Hopefully, like you said, he will be of similar quality as Plummer.

Never seen that performance coming from Cheesy. Really woefull.

3 or 4 reds and two retrospective bans add to that the bans for going over the disciplinary threshold from bookings and whilst hes no Chic Charnely he certainly spends more time in the stand suspended than your average player
