Callum Gilhooley Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 If this was ten games from now and Kearney knew a bit more about his players , then perhaps we may have pressed more against the ten men, however it is 8 days into his tenure and I think he got the tactics spot on. Had we pressed forward we would have been vulnerable to the pace of Forrest and tierney and may well have lost what could be a very valuable point .

He’s booked and looks a prime candidate for the old even it up red. I was thinking that at H/T as well , admirable discipline from him after that , he has a great engine too , he'll be an important player . Turning point tonight ? Certainly looked like it !

On the other hand it's entirely possible, after the first half performance and chances we created, we could have won if we'd been able to maintain that level of performance. Not complaining, but it's every bit as feasible we could have won the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russian Saint Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Yes he has. Claims he doesn’t like to criticise officials but thought the sending off was wrong! Claims Ntcham didn’t touch him. Brendan son, wrong wrong wrong. Wonder if he’ll admit it when he watches it on replay I thought his first booking was a bit harsh, as was Edwards (all be it I haven’t seen replays) Ntcham’s second booking was foolish and probably done out of frustration, but a booking none the less. So he had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambud Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I think Coulson was playing the ‘fresh legs and take some time off the clock making the substitution’ position. [emoji3]Exactly right. Him and Willock were both brought on as legs because Cammy and Danny had run themselves into the ground. They were obviously given instructions to hold their positions and chase down. It wasn't pretty but it helped us dig out a point. Thumbs up from me.

Yes , we could have won which would have been great but given how this season has been so far, I’m delighted with a point .[emoji106] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 First half we gave them a bloody nose and screwed with their system as well as their personnel second half we cashed in the pennies earned earlier first class tactics and execution rodgers couldnae run a menoge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith, Flynn, Mullen, Edwards, Ferdinand were outstanding, though the whole team were excellent.Sammy looked less than confident at times, but a clean sheet is a clean sheet. Can’t wait to see the post match interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hambud Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Maybe something to do with the fact that the previous waste of a managers jacket didn’t sign any (decent) forwards Definitely telling that Brock Madsen wasn't in the squad, also that we finished with a right back at CH even though we had the "Southampton u23 captain" who can play CH on the bench.

Sonny Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 What a difference! Harmony and commitment and everyone doing their job. Pity this wasn't the kind of team we were watching 10 games ago however we are now back on track. Excellent performance from everyone involved. We are indeed on our way.

DLBud Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Poor 2nd half players looked knackered.Still great point though We played with more freedom in the first half. As the game wore on we suddenly had something to lose and decided to play it safe.Even with 10 men they are a class above anything else we’ll play this season.A great result for us. No doubt about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munoz Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Just home from that. Well what a difference a manager makes. I thought we were outstanding in the 1st half , but severely lacked that killer touch ( maybe Anton Ferdinand knows a few 6ft fast physical strikers) , but to be honest, I can't fault any off them . 2nd half is probably the most organised and well drilled defensively I've seen us in a long time. Well deserved 1pt , and great to get the feel good factor back. Everyone get yourselves to Hamilton next week , we're back on our way.

Seaside Nipper Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Sutton’s a cnut. And we all hate Darren Jackson! Sutton just plays a sadly predictable tune. Normally I don’t mind him but he is unbelievably guilty of playing to his Bhoy friend gallery when in Scotland. It would be refreshing in St mirrens case if he said it was obvious that Stubbs was hopeless, but , no chance. He has no credibility up here because he does not spend time assessing anything other than Glasgow teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Just arrived home at 23,55. Great match. Good result. First half was excellent. Glad I was there. Met Oran Kearney's Mother and Friends who were over for the game. Lovely people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E=Mc2 Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Most pleased to see Anton at the final whistle take off his track suit top to show the black and white stripes and join the players enjoying the applause of the Saints supporters In the west stand. A great attitude from a seasoned professional. My St, Mirren supporting father was a Coleraine man. He would have enjoyed that tonight.
