Honestly at present cannot see what he brings to team. Hardly touches the ball..... Edited July 14 by God of war 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 Brophy , like all others at the club, should be judged by what he does in a Saints strip - not what has gone before. I wasn’t impressed when Main arrived but he will get my full support when he takes to the park - I’m not about to write him off because of past performances or scoring rate. & here’s the but …… if they ( or other strikers) are playing regularly and not scoring or at least providing assists by mid season …. Most people’s patience may well be stretched to the limit . Fingers crossed 🤞 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason why only half decent players like Shankland and Nisbet get valued at a million plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article about McGrath calls him a 17 goals scored midfielder not a 17 league goals scored midfielder moot point to be honest in your post. 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
