Whatever it was it was ridiculous. There's no way a player should even be seeing that it on, much less going for it. We've seen some amount of top quality goals down that end of the ground down the years, those two yesterday were right up there. McGinns goal also came at the end of a move involving 13 or 14 passes.

Billy Mehmet didn't exactly set the heather alight during his first season in the championship and he went on to play a lot of matches in the premier league. Here's the thing about guys who are 20, 21. They are still developing. Ross only turned 22 last week and there is still a lot of potential there. I think a lot of St. Mirren fans are now realising that letting a young guy with his scoring record go is a bit daft. I'm not suggesting he's of the same mould but look at St. Johnstone with Stevie May. They fired him out on loan gradually through the leagues to prove he was good enough at each increasing level. I never thought I'd say this but of the three centre forwards on our books just now, losing Ross Stewart would be the one that would sting the most because of what could be with him.

I've been banging the drum for Ross since before he went out on loan. When you look at it , he has pace , height, is good on the ground and has improved dramatically in the air since he signed , we should be getting him on an extended contract !

When we won the league under Gus nobody would have expected it would be Mehmet rather than Kean or Sutton who went on to be a key player and a saints legend. I actually thought it would be Mullen who stepped up this season. Maybe it still will. It took Billy a couple of years to get going with us as well. Unimpressive in the Championship apart from his goals at the end of the season (Dundee and Stranraer). Non existent in the SPL until that fateful day in Motherwell when he and Sutton came off the bench. After Sutton left we needed someone to step up and fill the void, and Billy improved hugely. He wasn't as prolific as Sutton (or Higdon after) but his contributions were huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I'd noticed yesterday was that the players were actually getting shots away. Kpawaka (spelling) had about 3 attempts, Mullan, King and McGennis all had long range efforts which was night and day with Tuesday where we actually couldn't create the space to get shots away.All through Tuesday I was thinking "hit it" especially given how small their keeper appeared to be but we couldn't test him which was infuriating. For what it's worth I've a feeling we might see one or two crackers from Kpawaka this season as he seems to want to get strikes away. We might also see him break a few chairs though [emoji23] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I could see that he was exceptionally raw. The most important attribute in a centre forward is awareness in the opposition penalty area and from the off, that's what I've liked about Ross. He gets into the right areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Just watched the highlights on Buddievision. That looked like a stroll in the park, with some great goals. Special mention for the contribution of one Saints fan after Hutton fouled McGinn(S) towards the end of the game - "f**king non-entity!"

ged62 Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Remarkable and welcome turnaround in form , and with more players coming in , maybe we can push on under Stubbs , next week will tell the story , but fingers crossed !

Sonny Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Excellent performance yesterday playing with a formation that suited the players. They all played well but special mention to Paul McGinn who had previously come in for some stick but had a very good game; Coulson's attacking play; Captain fantastic; debut boy Willock; and Magennis playing in the unusual left side in the diamond. But MoM is undoubtedly Cammy Smith. Hopefully Stubbs continues with this midfield diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 teams who are 99% likely to top us on goal difference and 3 teams who could equal our tally by winning their 3rd game. Unless Killie Fcuk it up we cannot qualify. Even if they did we'd still have to buck the trend and actually win a game. How did that work for you? Though confirming Shull as mental is a bonus.

St Lucifer was one of a number of forumsters who have watched Scottish football for decades but seemingly know nothing about what makes it tick. You cannot predict anything with any certainty, let alone 99%. We can lose 8 games in a row 4-0 and turn up the following week and eat Celtic 3-0. It's what I love about the game.

As well as I could have hoped for,... and more. I challenge any sane person to honestly say that they thought we'd put SIX past any team on the strength of what had previously transpired. Glad to have been proven wrong though. Edited July 29, 2018 by stlucifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
