Motherwell are not a bad side, false league position. As much as we wanted to win tonight top 6 is still in our own hands. 5th is gone. So we either make top 6 or end up bottom 6 with no drop worries and popcorn seats looking down. Aim would be finishing 7th with more points than 6th. Huge positives were the unexpected returns of McGrath and JDH. Both safely navigating the game uninjured. Had Dennis not got crocked we may have had a better goal return of late, but it is what it is. I'd have bit your hand off for this when we lost 6 in a row or whatever it was at covid time or indeed the start of the season. Relax and enjoy a relegation free season and look to build further for next season lads. I but, but what can I complain about ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Tonight JDH was very negative and took to long with ball at his feet, slowed the play down as he does all the time, JDH and Erahon dont work together and would have had Flynn for JDH tonight and Connolly for McPherson....ball far to slow getting moved around. Substitutions were baffling and lets try Jamieson for Obika or Erwin, he surely cannot do any worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 People posting shit about biting your hand off to be in this position at this stage is bull-shit. Should be well clear in 6th and those statements just covering up how shit we have been last 5 games. Give me a relegation battle anyday rather than seeing out season with meaningless games which it will be if we don't make top 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st jock Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Unless I've missed something, don't we have five games after the split to try and get the fifth place? Obviously we need to make the top 6 to have that chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have taken position in October but form in last 5 games is no excuse to not have secured top 6 already...team selection and substitutions still baffling and Goodwin never seems to learn from it.

Erwin and McAllister last night bordering on incompetence... I broadly agree with the first part of this. We’ve had a perfect opportunity to secure 5th (never mind 6th!) and not taken it. Something not quite clicking for us at home this season. However, I’m delighted with where we are and would have taken that at the start of the season.

It's only a game, Ronnie. At the start of the season, you could just as easily have asked me how often St Mirren might beat either of the Big Buttocks... The team has been depleted currently, going through a poor, stumbling spell and yet still eking out draws... If you don't have ambition and boundless faith then there's no point in being a St Mirren fan. You must know that. Things can only get wetter.

Sonny Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Last night typified our problems in the final third. How many goals have we scored from headers? Very few yet we float in aimless high balls that are never met. Why not pass the ball into the box instead of floating it? And as Alan McManus said last night we are too static in the box waiting for the ball instead of moving into space or indicating where a forward wants the ball. And why don't players shoot when they get the chance? However we have loads to be pleased about. Defence looks excellent, maybe not champions league level but relatively very good. We have loads of good young players in midfield who should only get better. Before the game last night Goody said JDH and Jamie were at best 75% fit and it was a gamble starting them. So we should not be too harsh if they were not up to their usual standard. Maybe next season we can fix the third part of the jigsaw. We can still make top 6 but the team looks knackered. Here's hoping for another all out effort against County. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I think the last month has proved one thing and that is that the squad is to small to cover vital positions. Edited February 25, 2021 by elvis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
