Bud the Baker Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) i still dont think he's the man to take us any further, great game on sat, great win, but we were still losing goals when the fakes were down to 10 men, we beat a poor Hearts team, even though I enjoyed the game and win. Why did it take so long for DL to change formation, tactics ect. We'll see how it goes over next few weeks, hopefully not back to square one again. Goal - singular, it was 2-2 when the Fakes player was sent off we went on to win 4-3, albeit our third came from the penalty incident which lead to the red card. Also is there any further for Saints to go, I don't think any Saints manager should be sacked or in danger of being so while we're 10th in the league although I'm not sure if it should be enough to earn Lennon a new contract were we to finish in that position. As much as I'm still not convinced by DL as manager, St.Mirren performing poorly against ten men has been commonplace in the 40 years I've followed them. I've said the same thing myself on many occasions but after the Fakes game I've been thinking - do we? My Thistle supporting mate says the same about them - is it one of those situations when you remember fucking up against 10 men but not when you do well rather like "man bites dog" is news but the reverse isn't. So far this season we've won a game we were drawing and equalized from one goal down. Apologies if I've missed a match where we've fucked up against 10 men this season.

So far this season we've won a game we were drawing and equalized from one goal down. Apologies if I've missed a match where we've fucked up against 10 men this season. It's not so much that we always "fúck up", but we often don't seem to take advantage of having a man extra (or two in some cases!), compared to other teams, when we get a player sent off against them. We seem to make life difficult for ourselves and end up under pressure ourselves, rather than translating our advantage into a comfortable victory. We were a minute or so away from a draw on Saturday and we did draw against Kilmarnock, when we should have won. Obviously poor finishing and inspired goalkeeping are both factors, but I just feel that there have been too many occasions over the years where I've thought that it looked we had been reduced to ten men rather than our opposition. Maybe it's just my flawed perception. Edited October 23, 2013 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidg Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Attendances have dwindled due to lack of home success . Last seasons (2012/13)average attendance was only around 100 short of 11/12 and only about 60 short of the season before and both these seasons had visits from Rangers.

Isabella Duke Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 You sir, are a St Mirren supporter, sure it was reasonable to have looked for a change the way things WERE going but it's also reasonable, as you have, to see that Lennon has been able to turn things around, not an easy task. Please explain this to Isabella, he's blinded by his narrow minded views, and, unfortunately, he's not alone with his wee gang. PS If we lose a few games, get rid of him. (Cover my losses right there ) I am consistent with my views. Its folk like you who chop and change their view on a weekly basis depending on one-off results... Long live Danny Lennon and the future success of St Mirren football club. Note - as I pointed out above - that you put fortunes of Danny Lennon before the fortunes of St. Mirren...

Howard Hughes in BlueSuedeShoes Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 (edited) Saints fans that want the team to lose? Bumped into a Saints fan at a gig at the Barrowlands recently. Dunno his name but seen him at games for years. He said that he hoped Aberdeen gave Saints a tanking the following night so that Danny Lennon would get sacked. So yes, there are Saints fans that want the team to lose. Edited for typos.

Not a surprise mate, I've noticed this on this forum for years but been shot down for daring to suggest such a thing. Absolutely astounding that so called supporters put personal views before St Mirren football club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bud the Baker Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 23RD November - two years since Lennon renewed his contract, a lunchtime TV game against Hibs and a fortnight's break (no doubt for some pissy international football) before the next game against ICT - a hectic spell of 8 games in 28 days. A time to pause and consider whether Lennon is the guy to manage us through the rest of the season - no point leaving it too late like Dunfermline & Dundee in the last two seasons. As long as we're still in touch with the pack I'd be inclined to keep Lennon in charge leaving any spare money for the player budget. If we get detached from the pack, say by 5 points, then we would really have to let him go. Longer term there's the question of a new contract, but that's a whole nuther question - I certainly wouldn't expect to see him in charge for the play-off games if we were to end up in that position.

Seaside Nipper Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Well, on a mood-o-meter scale of 1-10 where 1 is sack him and 10 is keep and extend his contract I am a 5.5 just now. Two vital games looming for St Mirren and DL, two games that tbh should yield four points. If not , it's a major opportunity lost this season I'll revisit my mood-o- meter after these games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vambo57 Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 What is apparent to me is that certain Saints fans appear to find more enjoyment out of scoring points on this forum and abusing fellow Saints fans than they do from the team winning! Well, stop doing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell me what has happened to most of the players you signed during the close season ? A question for you, why are you asking this at this time? 5 posts, everyone negative toward Lennon.

You didn't read it wrongly, although it could be interpreted that, as the thread has been running for quite some time, the subject has been debated to death. Or it could be interpreted that you are a pain in the arse and, ignoring the fact we have has a reasonable spell in the last 6 weeks or so, only content when trying to undermine the manager. Only my view you understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, however, you directed a question to Danny Lennon. I doubt he will reply. If you had asked the opinion of forum users why the new signings weren't featuring then it would have been a completely different story.
