Dare Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 We looked a decent outfit today and basically passed Aberdeen off the park ......... that’s all very well but you have to put the ball in the net ! The amount of really dangerous balls we had into the box today must have been well into double figures but our old failing of not being able to convert chances continues to haunt us . That one Erwin misses at the end ....... ah mean what the actual f#ck !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munoz Posted December 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Shouldn't have taken Obika off. His hold up play pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Maybe worth asking Gerrard if we can get Stewart on loan since a striker is a must in Jan. He must be about 5th choice at Ibrox and they clearly don't need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northstbuddie Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 The defence is now looking very solid (by St Mirren standards). Our midfield is looking good by SPL standards - McGrath, McPherson and Erhahon are amongst the most talented in Scotland (not forgetting Foley and Flynn) and in Doyle-Hayes we have our very own 'Xavi' - he's a true class act. We have a real attacking threat down the wings. The least said about our strike force the better. However, surely with this pool of players we can't get relegated?

northstbuddie Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Everyone in the SPL below the ugly sisters will be scrapping against each other this season. Although we are bottom at present we should not stay there for long. As others have said - if only we could sign a couple of decent strikers in the January transfer window.

Maybe if the delivery to Obika was more accurate, he'd have a better chance of scoring. Put in a good shift today and we definitely looked less of a threat after he went off.

Ayrshire Saints Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Its not just about the striker role we need to be creating chances for them if we dont do that we could have anyone up front with no returnWe are creating more than enough chances for a semi competent striker to live off.

norrie82 Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Dennis and Erwin aren’t very good. Obika going off was a shocker. The team looks solid but we’ve scored 8 goals all season. If we don’t find a finisher it’ll be hard. Find a finisher then it’s game on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't brave enough in the air, better with low balls. Huge weakness in his game. Hence Erwin coming on as we were piling in the crosses. Erwin was a gamble that just hasn't worked. I'd reserve judhement on Dennis. We definitely need to sort it out though as its costing us big time Edited December 5, 2020 by lenziebud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've held back on being harsh on forwards as we've been playing turgid pish but guys like Doyle-Hayes, Durmus and McGrath are creating more than enough.

I'm really not getting what's going through our managers head when he decides to go down that route. I thought the free scoring morias looked good when he came on against Aberdeen in the cup, but Erwin and Dennis have zero redeeming features.

W6Saint Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 We haven't scored more than 1 goal in a league game all season. Not enough chances? Plenty chances, not prolific enough? Doesn't really matter, we are bottom and that is the facts. We need to find goals, quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desperately Seeking Susans Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 We are St Mirren and as such we can't afford outstanding players so, if we evaluate Obika, within the context of our club, he is one of the uppermost amongst our squad. That back-heel in the first half nearly led to a goal but the quality of that manoeuvre displays a confidence and composure that many other players don't have. Yes, it was a mistake by JG in taking him and Connelly off which led to achieving a disappointing draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
