notabuddie Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 got to agree the guys in section W5 managed to get an atmosphere and it was a good idea for the flags. The only criticism I have was that the banner was too far back the clowns at the side of the away stand could not really see it. If they are doing it again get it down the front and into their faces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has ability, dig, effort and a great ability to read the game. I think he could well be a revelation in midfield. Sent from my LG-H815 using Black & White Army mobile app Definitely worth considering. Thing is, though, where would that leave Mallan? I don't think both could be accommodated if we play 4-4-2. Maybe with a 3-5-2? Even then, we would have to drop another attack minded player to ensure that we had sufficient defensive cover (wingbacks). Of course, it shouldn't be a given that Mallan starts and completes every game, so could be an option. ETA - I suppose Mallan could be be played behind a lone striker, but that would mean we could be under-utilising our striking options.

Eaglesham saint Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Think back how many time have you watched Saints pummell a team for 85mins only for the Opposition to run up the park and equalise The sign of a good team is grinding out a result against all odds, someone will disagree with me so I don't why I bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I disagree, grinding out results is the sign of a grindy wee team. We need to move beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJamie Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 Well, its work in progress, the main thing is last season under IM we would have folded. We grafted and I preferred it when he changed the system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spam_Valley Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 We were woeful all afternoon and i'm still angry about it. We should be playing the football on the ground as much as possible. The players we have in our squad are more than capable of playing good sharp and fast football yet Rae has persisted with hoof baw for the whole of pre season and even worse at home vs our rivals who were riddled with injuries, playing a few u20's boys to plug gaps and there for a good doing. Langfield should stick to commanding his 6 yard box rather than trying to become our answer to Andrea Pirlo. Less apologies on twitter big man and more concentrating on being a solid goalkeeper. If anyone knows anyone at the club and can manage to get a message into the dressing room - Please tell Kyle Hutton it's OK to have a shot at goal. Ye' never know it might just go in.. Big improvements needed for Raith on Saturday and if nothing changes it's going to be a long hard brutal season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Gingero Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 If you see the Morton goal you will see Langfield started just about the 6 yard line. The goal was scored from the 6 yard line. Why he ambles back on his line I don't know. He could and should have cleared the cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
div Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 We drew 1-1 at home to Ayr United, who played in yellow, on the opening day of season 99-00. Our next game was Raith Rovers away. We won 6-0. Who do we play on Saturday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggie Posted August 8, 2016 Report Share Posted August 8, 2016 I was there on Saturday, hoping for some sort of improvement. Alas, same old rubbish and very lucky to escape with a draw against a team who were hungrier for the ball than us. Very disappointed with the signings made by Alex Rae although not really surprised as I don't rate him as a manager. If Saints are still going to persist in charging well over the odds at the turnstile, the least they could do is try and entertain the fans and win the odd home game. I don't mean against Edinburgh either. Worst offenders on Saturday were Naismith and Mallan, players who are meant to have a good reputation but look ordinary at best. Defence still woeful and there seemed to be very little of note up front. Morgan, who impressed me previously, had a torrid time against a good full back, although made the cross for the equaliser. No-one seemed in any mood to have a shot on goal whenever the chance arose. If this management team are contracted till the end of the season, they had better get the finger out if they entertain thoughts of an extension. An improvement on Craig and Murray is hardly worthy of praise, and it has been but a minor improvement so far. Time will tell if Saints are going to be in the mix this season, but the signs are not good after having witnessed two poor performances. Fingers crossed for the Raith game on Saturday.

shull Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 We needed 4, we got 3. We got knocked out. We ain't playing tonight or ramorra because of our inability to score one more goal against the Part Timers of Edinburgh City. Frankly, a bloody disgrace.

shull Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 We are St Mirren. If we had needed to beat Edinburgh City by one goal. We would have drawn or lost. I totally blame the Ayr Unitit strips that we wear. They are needing set on fire and destroyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
