    I have no doubt Goodwin will be in the press afterwards giving the usual Bafta-worthy performance but the blame is on him for this one.
    All eyes on him now in a big few weeks, just as far away from relegation as we are top 6... interesting times ahead

    Agree with other comments regarding our style of play, to me we give ourselves a mountain to climb before the first whistle some weeks.
    We are happy to play football between our CB's and JDH but once we step forward teams press us and we shell it long. It looked to me like Brophy was signed to provide an option for those long balls that are overhit and go behind the opposition defence.
    Hopefully we start passing forwards and pressing teams as no team in this league outside the big 2 warrant any respect.

    Contrary to boo-boy belief Erwin has been heavily isolated, against 3 physical defenders with not much service at all.
    Decent effort and good ball through to Connolly in the first half. 
    Would like to see us firstly push up the park a bit more and also Erwin and Brophy up together for 30 mins.

    Making his final through ball any less impressive or dangerous?

    Not a particularly bad performance, but Rangers didn't have to really get out of 2nd gear to get the points.
    Different subs could've made the game a lot less comfortable for them i'd say; no real reason to have 2 defenders on down the left side after it went 2-0 for example, could've definitely changed upfront sooner and Connolly looked tired long before he went off.
    I'd take the opportunity to rotate against Kilmarnock.

    We haven't scored more than 1 goal in a league game all season.
    Not enough chances? Plenty chances, not prolific enough?
    Doesn't really matter, we are bottom and that is the facts. We need to find goals, quickly.

    While it's early days and no need for the usual negative knee jerk reaction THIS is going in the opposite direction.
    We've scored 8 goals in the league this season, we will not win many games with that strike rate.
    Oh, I agree we've played well in the last two games but it's still 50/50 we end up in the bottom 2.

    No shots on target in 90 mins at home and in 11 Premiership games not once have we scored more than one goal, not hard to see where the problem is.

    Goal every 4 games at Premiership level.
    With all due respect, is that enough to keep us up? Probably need another striker to at least match that, plus some goals from midfield i'd have thought.
     
    ETA - I think Erwin has been brought in as a battering ram to allow somebody else to flourish. Perhaps Dennis will add the goals we need as you say

    And unfortunately for him he was intent on shipping out everyone and anyone who he hasn't brought in so there isn't anyone else to turn to...
    Did JG sign them? Did Gus? Did Gus agree or just scout them? Are they really that bad after all or are they just being mismanaged?
    All questions that should be answered to the fans who have forked out to support the club through difficult circumstances.

    I am embarrassed to be a St Mirren fan at this moment in time.
    I can 'reluctantly accept' missplaced obnoxious statements masked as ambition every July; surrendering meekly every week on the park and crawling to safety every year; shambolic departures of managers every 18 months on less than amicable terms; that we are not a massive club and our good players will eventually go onto bigger clubs, usually for a fraction of the fee other clubs get; that clubs the same size or lesser than us get their moment in the sun whilst we are perpetually in an underachieving state...
    What I struggle to accept from the club, which is more down to a morality thing - near silence to the paying, loyal supporters; lack of professional behaviour as an institution year in year out; and complete lack of backbone or ambition.
