Under Goodwin we have now played over 10 different strikers let's just say not many have been that good. If you are referring to Obika, then no, we didn't.

He did indeed score 20 goals . 12 first season 8 in second when he ( probably) didn’t play as many minutes so yes, a 10 goal a season player . From the St.Mirren site .

Correct Clydebank he was a 10+ goals per season striker he will go down in Scottish Football History and as a St Mirren legend for relegating Hearts as the person who scored the last goal in Scottish football as Covid took sport off the world map for over a year.He also had 8 more matches to add to his tally which I'm pretty sure he would have.

I don’t really care what the previous poster said to be honest, but league goals are how top flight strikers should be judged as heightening goals per season record when playing against lower league oppo gives a false impression. By the way, not having a go at obika. We have a lot to thank him for, but we haven’t had a 10+ league goals a season player on the top flight since thommo and obika was not the long term answer. Most teams outside the top two don’t generally have a 10+ goals a season player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Just speculation I know, but what's the general feeling about the likelihood of Jamie McGrath still being a St Mirren player until January or beyond ? I'm just wondering if Jim Goodwin is planning for the season ahead with McGrath as a key part of his midfield or is he already accepting that he'll possibly be offski (presumably to Hibski like so many others)? Pre-season work could be bolloxed if McGrath goes without us having a robust Plan B in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanleySaint Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 The boy seems happy enough and the club are holding out for their valuation so it'll be interesting to see how it pans out but I'd be glad to hold on to him for as long as we can.

billyg Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 I think we're in a situation where McGrath is in no rush to leave , but won't be signing a new contract. Pretty sure if we get a half decent offer for him , and McGrath wants to talk to that club , then he'll be off . JG has previous in this type of situ with P McGinn and Magennis .

Mid Calder Saint Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Have a feeling Kiltie already is his replacement as he plays in mid just behind the strikers we have Power holding also MacPherson Flynn and Erahon therefore fairly well covered in my opinion.

Well they arent just judged on league goals, goalscorers are just pure and simply judged on scoring goals and get paid to do just that irrespective of who its against. Clearly you did care what was previously said to try and correct something that wasnt said. Your right most teams dont have players to get 10+ goals a season we’ve had Obika and last season McGrath so we are a tad fortunate. This season hopefully will be the turn of Dennis or McGrath again should we keep hold of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
