St.Ricky Posted July 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2019 The last game there finished 4-3 after extra time. It was a cracker, I hope for a similar or better result in the 90 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted July 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Am I wrong (it happens) but don't we still have a chance of qualifying? Best to save judgement till the round has been completed by all participants. Oh... And win well against Rovers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And win well against Rovers So far to qualify as one of the best runners up a club has needed 9 pts. so realistically we are out already. A win win be good In terms of morale & avoiding a midweek meltdown on here possibly even prize money, but that's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proudtobeabuddy Posted July 21, 2019 Report Share Posted July 21, 2019 Barring a miracle, we're out. This game is a chance to hopefully see an improved performance and improved match fitness because it's all about the league opener now.

We've seen a few miracles in our time but this is out of our hands and Jim doesn't have the required squad at his command at this stage. I'n the eternal optimist when it comes to St Mirren too but also a realist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do need to win and win by a number of goals to have any chance of progression, Sharper build up, more precise finishing needed. 22 shots on Saturday, 9 on target but no goals.

faraway saint Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 Albion Rovers 5/1, St Mirren 2/5 with the draw 15/4. TBH this could go anyway so I won't be touching this game. That's a very sad state of affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJamie Posted July 22, 2019 Report Share Posted July 22, 2019 The results are not the hard one to take...its the fact bar a couple of freed players we have no new signings. That for me is the major concern.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An early test to the theory that a Director of football brings consistency when managers change. I feel the Clubs biggest failing so far is losing Popescu, Hodson and Muzek. All 3 wanted to stay and all 3 are the right quality. Poor imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That for me is the major concern....The lack of signings is frustrating, we're you expecting more than freed players though?Most Scottish clubs rarely pay fees for players they sign.
