Being positive is good but think you're getting carried away IOBS.I still cant believe the St J player put that one by the post from close range. Anyway,victory from the jaws of defeat is pleasing. If our forwards can be shite, why shouldn't other team's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until our first goal I watched two nervous teams. After our first goal St Mirren were the better team by quite some distance. EDIT Just checked the game stats on BBC. St Johnstone had 2 shoots on target whe whole game. Edited October 20, 2019 by Isle Of Bute Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hladky didn't have a single meaningful save to make in the entire match. St. Johnstone, for all their territory in the first half hour and attacking intent, carved out one clear cut chance and the guy on the end of it knocked it wide when it was easier to score. It's hardly a victory from the jaws of defeat when you're the better side for two thirds of the match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axel Foley,lol Probably my only negative comment on Foley so far this season, a couple times he should/could have shot but always looks to pass. Still think he has been a bargain find though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Pityme Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 We could easily been 4 up. But hey that's being positive. Four up..? Behave yourself. We scored against thr run of play, then improved as the fakes weakened. Like I said the good news is there is at least one team worse than us currently.Let's see what we get from Killie, Celtic and an improved Hearts.

Pretty much how I saw the game . Thought we were set up not to lose today . Broadfoot probably our best player , though there were a few decent performers , Flynn won't walk straight back into the team when he returns , he will have to sit on the bench and wait for his chance , the same way Stephen McGinn had to . I do though think Flynn will be excellent coming off the bench and supporting the midfield . Great result , onwards and upwards . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for pointing that out. On a more serious note. Why not enjoy the win after all they dont come along as often as we like.

Great player. Agreed, I saw him doing his Sunday shop earlier, in and out in 15 minutes, no drama, no f**king about. Facetiousness aside though, I agree. He was excellent yesterday. He took a bit of stick after the Livi and Ross County games but he's looked good since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That game could not have been further from fitting the description “victory from the jaws of defeat”. At what point in that match were we even remotely close to the jaws of defeat? We survived 2 or 3 half decent chances in the first half hour, scored and then totally dominated the rest of the match against an utterly guff team.. We were 2-0 up and cruising with half an hour to go FFS. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Motherwell, we couldn't have complained if we had been three or four down at half time, as we were torn a new one. Yesterday, was entirely different.

Great player. Best outfield player at the club. Great future ahead of him and no surprise that he is with a English Championship club on long term deal. I think he's good enough for the Championship already and doubt we will have him post Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desperately Seeking Susans Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 S McGinn in the first half saw most of his passes go either square or back with precious little going forward. Certainly improved in the second half. I thought when Morias came on he played the best game so far as he was a constant threat on the left providing decent and dangerous crosses. I hope all those who in the past discounted Mullen as a goalscorer will now give the guy some credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLBud Posted October 20, 2019 Report Share Posted October 20, 2019 The first goal was always going to crucial with two teams understandably low on confidence. We got it and went on to win comfortably. St Johnstone may well play worse than they did in the first half next week and win.FWIW for all those bizarrely wishing to overlook McGinn’s contribution I suggest going back and watching the 90 mins again. After a quiet opening 30 mins (as with the rest of the team) he played a significant role working the ball through the middle and was always available to take it from the defence. He also didn’t give possession away once. I liked the balance between him and Foley (who seemed to get further upfield yesterday) and this will give Goodwin a nice selection headache for next week if Flynn is fit.

Great player.If there is any chance whatsoever of extending his loan till the end of the season, I'd be doing everything possible to make that happen.Surely it benefits him and his parent club to have regular play at a top level?He is a find.So much so, Popescu isn't missed!He was superb yesterday.

Depends on the player and his home club of course, then us. I'd expect as he is playing each week he is likely to want to stay on. His club have to decide if he is making progress or whether they can improve him more back at their place or out on loan elsewhere, but overall, unless we have another CB lined up for coming in during January, it is looking like we will want him to stay on. He's had a couple of ropey games, but is usually very good and adds something all over the park . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, I think he'll do well when he goes back to Hull. He's a much better standard of player than guys like Lyons, Jones, Willock and Dreyer and other guys we've had on loan from similar teams.
