Back on your box. 🤡🤡🤡 In his time here, we finished 9th then 7th & he left us in 5th with a great chance to be in 4th with the game in hand we had. You made the claim, burden of proof there’s ’no chance’ Robinson didn’t manage to finish 5th last season, by your logic there is ‘no chance’ he could ever finish 5th.

Our current manager HAS taken us into the top 6 two seasons running. All your bluff about 4th and a game in hand equals the square root of feck all. Bazil= fantasy world.

Eh, he improved our league position season on season while he was there without once taking us backwards. How many St Mirren managers can say that? But that wasn’t your claim was it? It was ‘no chance’ of back to back top 6 finishes. For that to be true, there has to be ‘no chance’ of a manager continuing to improve on his season on season performances. In other words, you were talking bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, as i said, thanks Aberdeen, you done us a favour. Yep, fair enough I’m thinking it was one place higher in each case. (Belive we would have went fourth, had we played & won the game in hand) Still season on season improvement. Can only go on what you can regarding Covid & we were 9th. Up from a relegation play off the previous year. Didn’t work out for him at Aberdeen, as it hasn’t for several Aberdeen managers in a row since McInnes. You can be critical of Goodwin all you want, you’re factually being critical of someone that took over a team who survived relegation on penalties, and left them in the top six after two and a half seasons. What other St Mirren manager got us as high as a seventh place finish in the 30 seasons before Goodwin? 🤷♂️ Do you accept, purely on league finish, he was our most successful manager for a generation?

Ok, now we've calmed down a bit, I was, and still am, of the opinion Goodwin was/is limited as a manager. He had a very up and down season with us the season he left, Aberdeen took him on the crest (didn't he have a horrendous run earlier that season?)but I was on record saying they had jumped the gun and he was, IMO, average. Too defensively minded, a draw and parking the bus against the OF was his idea of fun. Saying he was our best manager in a generation, purely on league finish is selective and omitting cup victories which should be taken into account so, no , I don't accept that. As I mentioned earlier, there was growing criticism form the Dundee United support which has slightly abated after the win against Raith. Let's see how he does next season in the top league.

Brockville was decrepit and potentially dangerous to spectators while they spent millions on players transfers, signing on fees and wages. Fcuk them! They knew the rules that other clubs like ourselves adhered to. Zero sympathy for them given the money they spent on players like Stainrod, Waddle, McAllister etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn’t without his issues but I was baffled by the hard time he got from some fans. He got a really strong response out of the players he had, be that defensive or not. Him and Robbo (to me) seem quite similar in their ethos here. As in, you can only get what you can get out of the players you have. Sometimes it won’t be attractive, flowing football & it’ll be a slog. Granted, neither have taken that as far as the Gus years & the infamous ‘go to the cinema’ quote. But they both accept you can’t always try & pass like Real Madrid, when you happen to be St Mirren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint@Johnstone Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 The wind definitely spoiled the chances of a good game. Having said that, Saints were poor and rarely looked like scoring. Hearts are no great shakes either though, and certainly nothing to be afraid of. However, our recent form seems like the end of last season and whilst it’s good to be in the top half of the league, the possibility of no further wins has to be considered. All In all though, a decent season. I’ve witnessed far far worse. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, decent post so we'll leave it at that. Oh, I certainly don't enjoy the level of abuse our mangers get, a key reason I stopped attending home games after the abuse Lennon was getting, aye, some of our support do think we should be Real Madrid.
