While you are technically correct, I’m sure you know what everyone means by “first quarter”. I’ll refer to it as “first stage” from now on if that makes you feel better 😛 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeling a wee bit rough though as it turned out a late night. Stayed in the Euro hostel £30 to share a room with a mate in the centre of Glasgow is brilliant value. Team put a shift in cant ask more than that. Some of the guy's I was with have came to a few Saints games with me so they wanted to take me to last nights game they had a spare season ticket for me.

I don't think I suggested any of the drama above. ha ha If it's the fact I worry about our survival, then I apologise for caring about St Mirren. You haven't answered my question so I'll try again without the hilarious but obviously distracting humour. How does worrying solve anything? What positive purpose does worrying serve? I'll settle for a single good example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club have made some poor recruitment choices I.e. paying to bring back the perennially injured McAllister and strikers who cant strike. Funny isn't it that we just had the chairman bemoaning our rushed and late recruitment as the reason for our woes. When at the time the message was we wont be rushed to just sign anyone! And in comparison Oran and Coleraine who presumably had even less time to recruit thoughtfully are top of the league!!! The board have yet again f**ked us over. Will be Interesting to see these accounts. Funny how they waited till end of account period to sack Oran? Really, I can remember when he said waiting till the latter stages of the window was part of "the Masterplan" as all the kwality players were holding back and assessing their options.

We expect nothing but SIMPLE questions from YOU . . . IT is not like we are not making chances or getting walloped - we take a higher percentage of our chances and the confidence will grow... And of course if we don't it won't . . . I made it a simple answer just for you . . . PS - The Fakes were rooted at the foot until they mysteriously win 2 games in a row . . . and we gave them a doing. . . you think we could not pick up 6 points in the next 2 or 3 games????

Now you are not prone to panicking are you????? Ho Ho Disaster, woe is me, the end is nigh.... we are bankrupted, Stubbs was great, Oran is rubbish BLAH BLAH Change the tune broken record - we will be fine. We started against Hibs with a squad that was in the main just in the door. They look poor and we are a lot better now. We beat the Fakes and will no doubt pass the Hammer throwers very soon...

None of the three forwards at mo are no were near good enough for SPL. Plus this tactic of punting aimless high balls up the park has to stop. Were bottom of the league for a reason. Cos were not good enough. It's ok saying we defend well. But if we can't score. What's the point in that. Any other manager would be getting slated. But its Goody and imo think he deserves the chance of getting right. Start in Jan by getting some decent forwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been big money strikers at many clubs who take a wee while to settle. In the last 2 games I think Obika is beginning to play a strikers role well for us... do I think he will score 20 goals this season, well NO, but I would not be surprised if he hits double figures, and that is an improvement on last season... The goals will come and Cooke will add to competition for game time and likely chuck in a few goals too... This squad has played just 11 league games. I think we are a lot better now than we were during the 1st 5 of these - don't you? Once the results and goals start coming the confidence will feed success...

Obika will not reach double figures he's not a natural goalscorer He will work hard and link play but he hasn't got a nose for goals Wee Junior just isn't good enough Mullen will get a goal here or there usually beauts is the best of the bunch Cooke is just too lightweight and will get injured again Our midfield apart from Andreu offer nothing to assist the goal charts this seriously needs to be looked at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have the luxury to rotate the team, we've got to produce our best team and Mullen should have played the whole game. I get your passion on this issue, however, 1. Rested from a game we won't get anything prevents him from picking up an injury in that game. He played so well against Killie and JG will have used that to tell him he is being kept wrapped up to get extra fired up for the Hearts game. 2. He takes a fair number of kicks in every game - he will have bruises all over his legs - a week and a half with no kicks will do him no harm whatsoever. 3. Rotating does make sense, it allows others to gain some match fitness - the squad is needed over the season. It is worse pulling someone into a team who has had no game time just because you are forced into it - it is like saying to the player, your only getting a game cause we are stuck... 4. Yip of course I know we are bottom of the table... over the next 4-6 games we have a very good opportunity to do something about that. I said many of the squad were just in the door during the 1st round of fixtures, e.g. we were not ready for the very poor Hibs team who beat us 1 nil, this time we should be. 6 teams over the last 6 games have won either 5 or 6 points - so just like the Fakes (who have won 7 points over these 6 games) have done since we thumped them, we win a few and we will shoot up the table..

Mullen is no good, he's a midget - without his play-off goal alone we would be in the Championship right now, never mind his others which won us points last season. He's scored 2 goals this season and 2 assists which have contributed to 4 goals - We have only scored 5 League goals in total - BUT you would not play him . . .
