bluto Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 In our three home games in the league this season we've registered 11 shots on target. FFS thats horrendous.From memory, I thought that Saints had something like 20+ shots on goal in the opening match. And everyone agreed "we woz robbed" and that the goals would soon start to flow...? 11 shots in three games is not very good, though...

Phil McCracken Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Well Drew, I could easily say the same. Read back to last seasons hysteria when things are not going well. The unrealistic solutions coming from you, and others, are old hat. Different season, same panic. Different season, same happy clapping! But its okay... cos we are playing well!

Phil McCracken Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 The bigger picture is that this is the WORST start to a season that St. Mirren has ever had in its ENTIRE history! We've got a 63 year old in charge who has less than 30 games under his belt as manager in his entire career, losing 75% of them! We've lost all 4 games, 3 of them at home and haven't scored a single goal. But its okay... cos we're playing well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilPar72 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm not panicking, are you? We've got this, trust me. We will not finish lower than 8th. Mark it down, bookmark it, write me and this team off. I invite it and welcome it. And how far off top 6 will we be even if we do finish 8th? That is how you judged Lennon's 8th finishes after all. 7pts behind Dundee 12pts off Accies Celtic, Aberdeen, United and ICT will finish above us. Lose to Killie and we are 10 pts off them. 8th place is wildly optimistic. Next 2 games are huge, Killie and Thistle. If we don't win at least 1 we are in huge trouble.

faraway saint Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Its all okay folks. We're "only" 6 points behind other teams (after 4 games) We've still got a game in hand (at Parkhead) and most importantly... we're playing well Just ignore the fact that we've lost all our games, haven't scored a goal and are enduring our worst start to a season ever : Emmm, Aberdeen!

SuperSaints 12 Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Time is up Tommy. Worst start since 1920 says it all. TC Out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddiecat Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Even simpler than that Just hit the channel at the right side of our defence exactly right there,thats the weak point and if we can see that then obviously other teams coaches will spot it and cash in - as they have done already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pozbaird Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 I'm not against sounding off against the BOD etc , but this Thursday's Q&A is the perfect chance to vent our feelings , let's hope it's not a missed opportunity ! I can take care of their answers right now... Tommy was not the cheap option / We have been unlucky with injuries, esp Thommo' / We need your backing at this time / It's early and we have youngsters who need your support / There is a budget and Tommy is working to it / There are no new buyers in the wings / No, we don't need a centre back, and no, none of us at this table have thought we needed a new 'no-nonsense' centre back for the last, one, two, three, four, five..... seasons. OK, maybe not the last one, but the rest? Chalk em' off for a full house on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djchapsticks Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 8th place is wildly optimistic. I think you're being kind even classifying it as such. I'd say it's more wholly unrealistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northendsaint Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Kluivert linked with ross county job he was assistant to van gaal at the World Cup that's all we need, get rid of tommy n get him in young manager with no doubt great connections to get gd players in for our level Outwith the smiles my grandson has brought to my face this weekend your post has made me laugh most.Cant wait to go to games in orange dungarees in honour of our Dutch stars.Vanzy could be his assistant and our leaky defence can be sorted by putting your finger in a dyke.Oops not exactly politically correct there.Keep the faith as we will come good.

Mid Calder Saint Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Ian. I wish I could share your optimism. I am of the firm opinion that TC was totally the wrong choice.To be a good manager you have to be s respected leader and he is not.Moreover i don't believe for a second he is up to scouting players.I consider our squad is weaker than last season.Yes we are not scoring but our defending is an utter shambles to say the least.Time for change is NOW.

Phil McCracken Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Its a pity we can't enter a league where the results are based on the artistic merits of the way you play.

saintargyll Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 How can it be a cheap option when we only average 4000 per home game? Half of which is all ready in the bank via season tickets so 2000 paying customers at home games is not going to get you top dollar players What planet are you all on?

Mid Calder Saint Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Hamilton are 12 points ahead and barely attract 2000 spectators. So your argument is up the spout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
