    Any football club, be it fan owned or privately owned, needs to be led by good, competent, trustworthy and capable people at the top.

    I'm not massively convinced we have that right now.

     

    The highest league position in 38 years would suggest that the club is being run by people with at least a reasonable amount of competency. Indeed, the appointment of the manager was, according to SR himself, orchestrated by bogeyman-in-chief, Jim Gillespie: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/scottish/stephen-robinson-on-why-sudden-morecambe-exit-doesnt-sit-well-but-st-mirren-statement-was-too-good-to-reject/41375577.html

    When the previous board departed we we were in the bottom half of the Championship......

  3. Welcome Marcus Fraser

    Bit short up front at the minute but it's looking like the best squad we've had since the League Cup winning team in my opinion.

     

    All those guys who came from outside Scotland (Durmus, Foley, Obika, Morais, McCarthy....) now know what the league's about and should hit the ground running. Most of their new teammates have already shown that they have what it takes to succeed at this level.

     

    Looking promising!

    Marcus Fraser is a surprise. If he'd been a top target then I'd imagine we'd have signed him earlier (he left County at the start of June).

    I'm wondering if we've drawn a blank in finding a suitable left back and, with the season about to start, Fraser is plan B.

    Young striker on loan the last bit of business?

  14. Livingston v St Mirren, Wed 12th Feb

    Hamilton could potentially have taken something against a horribly out of form Aberdeen. Brilliant that the Don's have found their shooting boots. 
    Makes tomorrow even bigger for us now. We could make up for last Wednesday's disappointing result by pulling 6 clear of Accies which at this stage is a massive gap to open up. 
    Accies have serious issues at centre-half now. Easton / Woods started tonight: Easton stretchered off with a bad injury and Woods hooked at HT after a poor showing. The Accies' fans reckon he's a poor replacement for Sam Stubbs.

    They’ll probably pack their defence and let us have the ball (like us playing SEVCO the other week) and hit on the break. Hopefully we can get an early goal which means their game plan goes out the window.

     

    According to Beuzelin after the game they will be playing to win on Wednesday night. He says a point will not be good enough.

     

    Given their defensive problems they may decide just to go for it and try and outscore us. They've only had 2 clean sheets this season anyway (compared to our 8).

     

    Today couldn't really have played out any better for us: early sending off then a power of work put in for the remainder the game as Celtic had to keep the foot on the gas.

     

    Accies though......

    A golden opportunity this to put some distance between us and 12th.

     

    They're in the midst of a injury crisis and will have 90 minutes of chasing the ball tomorrow, 72 hours ahead of playing us. Need to beat them.

    Rice pointed out that he’s missing captain Brian Easton, defenders Aaron McGowan and Jamie Hamilton and strikers George Oakley and David Moyo, while Blair Alston was on the bench for the 4-2 defeat at home to Livingston, despite not being fully-fit.

     

    The Accies boss said: “I can’t afford to lose five or six starters out of the core of my team, I just can’t do it. To be out there and to be as strong as I would like to be, or as competitive as I would like to be... I’m definitely going to have to look at it, because if I don’t get these boys back from injury then we’re going to be struggling for numbers.There’s nothing to stop you from being competitive, you know? But I said to them at half-time that two or three of them were maybe letting me down and letting the fans down. Letting their team-mates down, because they weren’t giving it everything out there. They’re looking tired, they’re looking soft. That was an opportunity for some boys who hadn’t been playing to step up to the plate, and I think naivety and a bit of softness out there cost us the game..... If you score four goals away from home you deserve to win, but they were very, very poor goals from my point of view. It was a makeshift back four out there, the injuries – especially to defensive players – have really played their part.”
