Because we never scored in a friendly we need a new striker??? We have Reilly, Sutton & Stewart all competing for that one out and out striker role. If Reilly can produce the sort of performances that got him a move to Hearts we will be fine. Failing that play big Sutton he is a stick on given the right service to get us double figures goals.

Disappointed that Loy has joined Falkirk and not us after a slow start last season he was excellent towards the end and scored some vital goals but I am hopeful that Reilly can rediscover the form that earned him a move to Hearts. I am more worried about the goals from midfield we will miss from Mallan moving on. Again just hoping between Morgan & Kirkpatrick that they can cover his goals and assists.

According to the Daily Record we are close to signing this lad who was released by QoS.

Delighted with this signing. Both keepers will get chance to stake their claim over the coming weeks. In last couple of seasons we had Langfield in goals and he gave me palpitations every time I watched him. We signed O'Brien who was decent for us and a massive step up from Clangers. Now we have signed a cup winning legend who IMO better than both Langfield & O'Brien and that is based on him playing against better opposition and a league above what we currently in. Will he make mistakes of course he will but fewer than the other two. This is a step in the right direction for me. If the boy from Albion Rovers claims the No. 1 jersey then he would have earned it. Welcome home Sammy

It should be Jack's decision. If he feels going to Dundee is going to progress his career more than us then so be it. As for him going to Dundee the best he can do is getting into the top 6 as they are never going to qualify for Europe IMO. If he take us up and and challenging for the top 6 that will be a bigger achievement. It a massive decision for him though as his stock is high just now but like any manager it could turn with a bad season. When he makes that decision it will let us know if he is in this for the long haul or full of guff. Either way it will all come out in the wash....

It will be extremely unlikely that McInnes will get the Sunderland job. If he did I have no doubt Tommy Wright at St Johnstone would be the overwhelming favourite to bag the job.

I will never judge any of our signings until they get a run in the team next season. If a couple don't work out then that's football but I look forward to seeing what these guys have to offer with optimism and giving them my 100% support every time they pull on the shirt. Some of them I have never seen but Jack Ross has worked with them and feels that they are worth signing and will add to the team or the squad. If part time players are never given a chance of full time football how can you ever tell if they can make the grade. They must all have something about them for us to sign them. Whether that be potential, ability or character. Not one manager has ever had a 100% record of successful signings in the history of football so all anyone can hope for is that more of them than not are successful.

Absolutely over the moon with Gary Mac resigning. He was my pick for PoY last season. Nothing 2 do with me putting £50 on him anytime scorer when we beat Morton 4-1 down there at 7/1. [emoji3]

I think most St Mirren fans myself inc. would have loved Goodie to get promoted. Not only for his years of great service, affinity to our club and being our cup winning captain. I would like to see him being successful as I would love for him to be our manager sometime in the future but then again if he is too successful he will never look at managing us.

Yes I believe they would struggle to get in our top 4 if they were in the Scottish Premiership and had the financial constraints that our teams work under. St Johnstone have arguably the best manager out with Rodgers who works wonders year in year out in Tommy Wright. The move for Mallan to Barnsley is a good one for numerous reasons. More competitive league, money and better exposure to go to even bigger club than Barnsley. If he keeps progressing his stay at Barnsley could be a short one and could go on to better things. He deserves his move he has been excellent

My point is that we they wouldn't easily finish in a top 4 position if they were in the Scottish Premiership.

Barnsley got an average crowds of 13,000 last season with Newcastle, Leeds etc visiting. They would only easily get in the top 4 if they had the finances they get now. They are no bigger club than Dundee Utd or Hibs

Unfortunately I don't believe we as a club could knock back £300k for a player who could run down his contract and leave for nothing. Do I think he is worth more. Course I do but I would happy we got something for him now and negotiate a sell on fee rather than get sod all next summer. Stevie has totally deserved this move. For the last two years he has scored over ten goals from midfield in struggling teams. I hear he works on improving his game after training so it's an example to other youngsters at club that if you work hard on your game and showcase your skills in our 1st team for two / three years you also can achieve a move to a better league and bigger club and progress your career. That is how we sell our club to youngsters we target. Sign for us and if your good enough you will get your chance in the 1st team. Give us two / three seasons then move on to bigger things. I hope Stevie's career goes from strength and I will watch that with keen interest. I am grateful I got to see this talented young man in action for us and I thank him for the many fantastic memories.

Dundee Utd have just signed another player Billy King from Hearts. I can only think the signings of King & Keatings are for the Premiership and if they don't make it they will let a lot go

Well done Jack. Well deserved [emoji122]

Gordon Scott really is a breathe of fresh air. What difference from the last BoD. It not only from a communication point of view.

You don't often see 30+ players at this level given a 2 year deal but has been a solid signing since he came in so good news

The past 3 months the football have been a joy. Best football I had the joy to see was Danny's 2nd season in charge. Unfortunately I never got to see Fergies Furies.

I love a Flarey Bob rumour. Always makes me chuckle because he always gets someone. Even though I know it's a gag I always google them anyway in appreciation to FB

We should want Dundee Utd out of the league with their budget with Hamilton & Inverness coming down. If that happens anyone of eight teams will fancy their chances including us. The Championship is probably the most competitive league in the country and will again be next season no matter who is in it. If Jack Ross is allowed to wheel and deal like he was in January and feels the need to do that I feel optimistic about the season ahead. In saying that I always feel optimistic going into a season. It's exciting seeing new players coming in and it's a clean slate for players and teams to impress.

Relief is my overriding emotion. If we keep majority of the current squad I am confident we can have a successful season and we can put this one behind us. We go again next season

Your right it's my fault we never won a game until December. It's also my fault we survived the playoffs by goal difference. That was the problem. Have a day off. Nobody said Jack never did a good job keeping us up but only to say it was early to compare him to probably the greatest manager ever. There is also many times I have felt pride being a St Mirren fan and part of a real family club. Here is a couple 1987 Cup Final Tom Hendrie's Promotion season Gus McPherson's promotion season 2013 League Cup Win Just because I don't want to celebrate survival doesn't make me any worse a fan.

I bailed on the team. You having a laugh. Ave been a St Mirren supporter for 30+ years being a season ticket holder for half of that time. Never bailed on my team through the years. Expressed an opinion. I have every f*cking right to express that opinion. Enjoy your soggy chips ave obviously p*ssed on yours

A lot of people's hangovers will be wearing off today after yesterday's completion of the great escape. I for one questioned the appointment of Jack Ross and I happily had a large slice of humble pie last night along with my couple of beers to get over the trauma of the season. I would like to thank Jack Ross and his staff for turning it around and Gordon Scott for backing his man in January. Could have easily told Jack to work with what he has got already. Looking at the season as a whole it has been a terrible season except from the last three months. I love the positivity but some of the celebrations and some of the praise for our management team heralding Jack Ross as the next Fergie as a little over the top. Yes he has acquitted himself well over the last three months and saved us from the drop but a little early to compare him to the arguably the greatest manager ever. I was relieved like nothing else we saved ourselves yesterday but yesterday not a celebration and would be embarrassed to call it that. Celebrating staying in the 2nd tier of Scottish football not for me. I even heard people talking about an open topped bus for the players!!!! Let reality set now. We just escaped going into the 3rd tier of Scottish football and again I want to thank Jack and the team for preventing that but as for what next season I have no idea when it comes to supporting St Mirren it's a rollercoaster ride and I love it. Will we challenge for the title, playoffs for promotion or relegation be relegated. Will Jack Ross be the next Fergie if he doesn't get off to a good start next season or being approached by bigger teams due to a flying start in the league. Reality is we are extremely lucky not to be involved in the playoffs and thank god for goal difference. Please whatever happens let's not have a repeat of this season gone by.
