Big john might not have the best first touch or best finishing but he makes a big difference to us up top.

Jakubiak looks decent too.

Really unlucky to go in at ht losing imo with wind behind us now in the 2nd half hopefully we bag a goal or two.

As completely and utterly shite as he was against Hibs, he’s been much much better today. Made a nuisance of himself and held the ball up much better. Still very frustrating from a finishing POV though.

Two up front looks better.

Hopefully Jim gets them fired up for the second half , wind often makes it a game of 2 halves 

Only 1 down, should throw on another striker 

Played decently. Hit the post. They score from a rebound. Wind now joined by the rain. Wind behind us so who knows. My prediction was 1-1 and replay.

Trains through Gilmour Street are replaced by buses this weekend lucky people sharing buses with their young team.

Saw a large young team like you describe. Bunch of wee fuds. Fortunately I was visiting before match and was traveling to Paisley Canal

We've got this one for the taking.

Halftime talk

1. F-in defend - not free players in our box.

2. F-in hit the target, we can win this.

3. If you don't do it - there are 3 subs who will...

4. Wind at our backs, its into the wind for them - let's get into the 1/4 finals

Really? You're optimistic. They haven't done it in previous games.

There's a guy just scored for Reading called OBITA. Maybe we just made a mistake in the spelling when we went after Obika.

Fair comment - but if JG has no threats then they players have no fear of being subbed !

The past does not determine the future - at least not always !

Considering this is a St Mirren forum there is a complete lack of black and white tinted glasses 

[Gosport Buddie]

Our passing has been terrible in the 2nd half

Honesty always mate, you beviied again? 

We're well in this, just need a wee break. 

[Ronnie]

And Obika despite having a better game misses ball from 3 yards.

[TopCat]

McGrath off - quiet - McAllister on.

Still 0-1. Wind blowing hard and game very scrappy.

And here's how the Beeb describe that...4

 

CLOSE!

St Mirren 0-1 Motherwell

St Mirren will be wondering how they're not level. The ball is rolled across the box, and Jon Obika is inches away from getting a toe on it. The ball is kept in play and then ricochets just wide of the post.

[TopCat]

1-1!

Jak!

[saintargyll]

1-1

[TopCat]

Turn and shot from about 12 yards on right hand side of the box. Think it took a deflection on its way in.

Either way, glorious.

Feed the Jak and the Jak will score!

[weetoonsaint]

Goaàaal yes coys

[saint in exile]

Good stuff!!!

[faraway saint]

Been on the cards.

Games for the winning. 

[thomsons dropped it]

Good composure there.

[Doakes]

[TopCat]

Obika off - did well - Andreu on.

Let’s get the winner now.
