  1. the team played well and set up very well. The young lad had a great chance in the second half and maybe falling to Shankland would have been better for us. Cant blame anyone for the loss, yeah Irvine made a hellish clearance but I'm sure he was knackered by that point and it was just tiredness setting in, other than that he done ok against a very good player in O'Halloran, who cost 500k lets not forget that.

    we are heading the right way slowly and 4 points out 6 in the next 2 games would cement how we are getting on. The only other worry is Clarkson not looking like scoring since joining us, i think he's still got something about him but strikers need goals so hopefully he will get one on Tuesday night

  2. FFS, how can people still be complaining about results, 3 points is 3 points. yeah it would be great to be playing brilliant football, creating chance after chance and winning games easily, but lets get real, we've been brutal for years, we have rarely won 2 games in a row and the football hasn't been great, christ even when we were playing some nice stuff when Danny first came in we struggled in most games and still never won that many.

    Rae has been told to come in and sort the mess on the field out, he's starting to do that and everything is about getting points, i said it weeks ago i don't give a toss if we are brutal on the eye, we just need points on the board. in the 30 years I've followed saints i think there have been 1 maybe 2 seasons at a push that have been exciting and i looked forward to every game knowing i would get entertained. following Saints isn't always going to be pretty on the eye and we won't see the team brush others aside with ease, but thats what makes it all the sweeter when we do get the occasional outstanding performance.

    if you want 90 minutes of free flowing football and a team creating a heap of chances then maybe following Saints isn't for you. Take a look around the game in Scotland and let me know how many teams are worth watching, i will say you will be lucky to find 1 or 2. Just get behind the team ffs

  3. i seen the highlights that were posted of the young saints team and it looks great that they are encouraged to play the game from the back and the passing and movement was great to see.

    i would love our team to play like that week in week out but football is about results at this level, doesn't matter how you get them, 3 points is 3 points and I've got no issue with Rae having to play less attractive football to get points. I said it last week that Webster, Baird and Kelly are particularly poor when they are in possesion and Rae obviously feels the same way.

    we are limited in the numbers of decent passers we have in the team but those who are capable of playing a bit are the ones who should be getting the ball, Mallan, Quinn and to a point Gallacher. I would prefer us to play nice football and win games but things have been so bad over the last 2 years or so that just winning games is enough for me at the moment,

  4. Lets enjoy a win at home finally, however the level of performance needs to improve a lot. there were some moments of decent football and others of schoolboy standards. We are heading in the right direction slowly but just consolidate this season and then try starting a fresh in the summer as there should be only 4-5 of these guys being kept.

    the defence looks a bit better, midfield has a couple of decent players and up front we look like we can start scoring more freely, but we seem to have a huge issue pulling it all together, a gowser type player is what we need, but there aren't exactly many going around

  5. The problems all stem from the back 4, not one single decent pass has been made from them in the first half. Baird just launches every ball that comes to him, Kelly smashes every ball down the line and webster is that slow he doesn't get the chance to make passes before he is closed down and just loses it. It must get better in the second half, on this form we are heading the wrong way after what was an encouraging week

  6. hopefully hit the ground running, we need a lift and if he can come in and get a goal on saturday then I'm sure he will end up being a very good addition. we've had a lot of players join and really struggle from the off, lets hope Clarkson can get in the goals right away.

    on another note, the spine of our team is very experienced and got youth mixed in, all players that should and I'm sure WILL have us higher up the table

    langfield

    Watson webster

    Mallan Goody Quinn

    Shankland Clarkson

  7. Never expected anything today, the plus side is obviously Mallan finding the net again. the next 4 games are huge, 10 points would be ideal, anything less and we will still be looking down rather then up.

    a good week ahead Div? surely you don't mean Agnew is being replaced by a bag of coal in the midfield for the next game. Guy is god awful

  8. Know this is the radio thread but cannae find the Saints TV one and seeing as both the radio and TV are ran by UWS i thought i'd ask the question in here anyway. does anyone know what happens when a game is postponed like it was yesterday but folk have already paid for the coverage. Do we automatically get the re arranged fixture show without paying again? or do we just get a refund?

  9. I have just bought a new 50" internet capable TV and have already checked that I can log in to St Mirren TV, so I'll be watching at 2am this Sunday morning to be tortured in big screen HD.

    thank god I'm in Perth, it was a nightmare keeping up with the Saints when i was in Ballarat, 11pm Kick off for me. Must admit even though I've no seen us win on Saints TV this season, it is a bloody great idea and makes sure guys like us can keep in touch with the team
