Can't see us picking up many points tbh!
A relegation scrap will ensure for certain. JG's tactics and lack of positive substitutions will probably get us in a relegation play off spot.
Bringing DM on last night on 84 mins when your chasing the game ffs, his subs are too late in games especially when chasing the game.
I find very little to be positive about regarding JG's style of play since playing for a point last week against Hamilton.
We need to pray Heats and Hamilton share the points on Saturday as I can't see us getting anything from Motherwell.
Hearts at home next Friday is the iconic 6 pointer WIN and we can hopefully kick on and not worry about finishing bottom, loose and we are sucked into a relegation battle that we are not equipped to win.
Everyone ramps on in JG we trust, bollocks lets see if you's all trust him in the Championship, don't get me wrong he inherited a cluster f**k but I still have my doubts.
I think he inherited a better squad than OK but has not yet showed that he is the man. Hopefully this comes and comes quickly as I see us hurtling towards the championship as things stand.

I have gone to old firm games at SMP on and off over the years. The games last year really put me off though as there is really nowhere in the ground you can avoid them.
I chose not to renew my season ticket this year for a few reasons but top of the list was having to sit next to them when I was in the ‘St Mirren end’.
I might get a season ticket again when they stop getting the family stand. -
So, things we know:
- GM has a list of players.
- JG has a list of players.
- GM has first say on players.
- JG has rejected some players.
Is it the case that GM is not going to entertain JG's list of players and similarly JG is not going to entertain GM's list of players?
Something's got to give and I don't imagine it will be GM.

Would he do better than Cooke then? Without the service might as well have Jimmy Krankie leading the line!
What I saw of him when he played was a forward who knew where the goal was, could hold on to the ball and could make a pass. I think if he had been given a regular start we wouldn't be talking about Cody Cooke now.

Will he get those goals in the premiership? Not convinced, but good luck to him when he's not playing us!
I think he will. He was never given a run in the team when we had him and the service to all our strikers has been dire for a long time.

That he's had a better offer closer to home and will be staying in Dutch football.
As I said, hope it's not true - don't think I can handle the widespread meltdowns that will ensue.
Did it not say his club would not stand in his way if he could find a club out with the Netherlands? Presumably they'd be looking for a fee then if he stays in the same league.

I'm confident Jim will not have us relegated or in the play off's. Then we build on that to get into Tony Fitzpatrick land.
I don't see how we build on that the season after this. We have currently signed two players on 1 year contracts and a reserve keeper on a 2 year contract. Assuming Hladky goes before the end of the season we will simply be signing players every window just to stand still. The only way we can build for the future is signing players on 3 year contracts and hoping they don't turn out to be sh!t.

I'm pretty much scunnered with the merry-go-round of managers over the last year and a bit. I haven't renewed my season ticket and fear that we will be hovering around the bottom of the table once more.
If I was a player and Saints came in for me just now I really don't know what I would think.
I'm usually upbeat but I am highly pessimistic for the season ahead.

I think you are massively underselling him by calling him a “decent keeper”.
In my opinion, barring Alan MacGregor (who is an effin psychopath) he’s the best in the Premiership.
I probably was.
What I was getting at was that we are in a win win situation. If he goes we are on more than £250k, if he stays...…...
-
If he stays, we have a decent keeper. If he goes, we get a healthier bank balance. Either way it's a good outlook for the season ahead.
-
I'd rather see Gary Teale back than Goody. I think with a decent squad GT would move us on to the next level.

Stubbs was treated shamefully.
Sacked after just 4 games and here we are, in exactly the same position with more or less the same side.
Only a complete roaster can defend that.

Considerably better than the 4 games Stubbs got? Two of which were away at Ibrox and Tynecastle!
And despite OK getting his window, it turns out that only 2 of his outfield signings made the line up last night, one of them being Kyle McAllister, who was with us before anyway!
Despite getting his window, it turns out that his best side is more or less the players he inherited from Stubbs!
All he did was chop and change some of the fringe players.... including getting shot of Cammy Smith who a numbers of zoomers on here had a complete meltdown about when Stubbs tried to get rid! Turns out he’s not even good enough for Dundee Utd!
The anti Stubbs brigade should hang their heads in shame. Wallopers the lot of them!Give it a rest Allan

These games scream for intelligent game management, something Kearney has not shown.
first leg 4-5-1 the lone striker/target man should be Cooke, Mullen cant hold up his hand. Sit deep, pressure is on the home team to win the game, hit them on the counter with Magennis, Mcallister, Flynn and the two McGinn's more than capable of scoring. Change it perhaps in the second half if we go behind. Started with a draw, that'll do to take back to Paisley!
second leg - see what the job is first, if we are leading or drawing though... exactly the same 4-5-1 until we need to score to level.
I would play the opposite. Get on top of them from the off, shut their fans up and get an away win. There are no 'away goals count double' so we need to bang them in and give them a royal hammering

It is irrelevant!
They were and are quality players. It was up to JR to make them perform!
Your last sentence highlights what a bad job JR did with them.
Oh, and I forgot. He also inherited Magennis and Mackenzie!
Going back to the point of my original post, OK can go on and do what JR did.
As I said, the futures bright, the futures Oran

The fact that Alex Rae underperformed with a squad that contained 6 players who are either in the current side or would walk into it, is irrelevant!
Kilmarnock were adrift at the bottom of the Premiership last season before Steve Clarke arrived and he turned it around with the same players!
As good as they are now, they weren't then. I don't think it is irrelevant that they were underperforming with Alex Rae. The next 14 games after he left we only picked up 9 points.

Ross inherited Naismith, Mallan, Morgan,McAllister, Hardrie, Shankland & Baird.
2 of them are in the current side and the other 4 would walk into the current side. That's 60% of the outfield side.... and we were in a lower league.
With players at his disposal, JR performed very poorly before the transfer window that season.
At the time JR came in they wouldn't have got a game for a league 2 reserve side. We were adrift at the bottom of the Championship if you remember. 2 points behind Dumbarton, 3 behind Dunfermline, 4 behind Ayr, 5 behind Morton, 8 behind Dundee Utd, 9 behind Raith Rovers, 10 behind Falkirk, 13 behind Hibs and 14 behind QoS, and we had only played 8 games!!!

Oran apparently has the worst record of any St Mirren manager already ffs. He's been given time and money, yet we sit in the automatic relegation spot. He has lost four games from a winning postion at half time, his tactics and general naivety have cost us points we could not afford to lose. If we are relegated it will sit squarely with him.
1. Both Oran and Ross inherited a sh!t storm.
2. Oran had five more games than Ross before the end of the January window but both started after the summer window was closed.
3. By the end of January, both managers had picked up a total of 9 points through 3 draws and 2 wins.
I fully expect history to repeat itself and we will win the league next year after avoiding relegation this year.
The future's bright, the future's Oran

From what i picked up he wanted us to keep the ball on the ground rather than hitting a long ball.
I wanted us to do that as well. Jackson never won or looked like winning a header. On pace though I think an early through ball on the deck would have had him one on one with their keeper. I'd fancy Jackson to score 9 out of ten one on ones with a keeper.

This nonsense will be a great motivation to the players for the rest of the season a la Sir AF at Aberdeen. Everybody hates us, get stuck in boys.

More of a hook TBF but it works well enough!
The fourth is a tougher hole. bunkers on the right, water on the left. I'm happy if I get better than a six on that one. You must hate that one too if you hook off the tee

I agree with St Ricky.
There are a few posters on here with delusions of grandeur and that anyone who posts anything other than what they think is a pest and clogging up the forum with inane drivel.
They are the condescending ones!

I think somebody else got lamped by a stray shot at halftime on Saturday there. Goodness knows how many times this sot of thing happens throughout a season. The player (not sure who it was) went over to check the guy was ok and then went back to play with his pals.

They will have business interruption insurance however I have noticed on the majority of the policies I deal with there is an exclusion in the event of a pandemic announced by the World Health Organisation therefore insurance companies are not going to pick this up for the vast majority of businesses.
