Saints v Kilmarnock 27th Dec

[Scott-Leeds]

Currently staying in Newton Stewart for the holidays and travelling to Paisley from here taking the longer route for a better less dodgy route it took me last time 

Be good to finish the year strong and start to close the gap to those above 

Hoping VAR isn’t required 

Saints 2-0 Killie 

6,345 

Merry Christmas 🎅

Hope to keep the feelgood factor going. We gave this lot a real doing last time at Greenhill Road.  Hope for something similar but a 1-0 would do nicely.

A win of any kind, plus defeat for both Dundee teams will do nicely, thanks.

Crowd: 6137

Well, obviously, a win for us is essential but I'd disagree about wanting both Dundee teams to lose.

I'd prefer Dundee to beat Falkirk and probably a draw between Aberdeen and Dundee Utd. 

With us having two games in hand over both and one in hand with Aberdeen we should be looking to catch both United and Aberdeen (and Falkirk) as soon as possible which will take us away from Dundee.

Will probably be another tough match, but hopefully another three points, come on you Saints

Expecting a tough game , need to win and start to close the gap above us. 2-0 Ayunga and Mandron. Crowd 7348

Seemingly we are not selling Killie tickets for the section nearest our ultras

[stlucifer]

Just looked at the upcoming fixture list and the next few weeks will test our squad and fitness to the full. It makes it even more important to begin with a positive result. Success has put us in this position and I'm glad it did but it has its consequences.

Killie have sold out their allocation, should be a good crowd. 

Give us another win. 

We've won 3 and drawn 1 of the last 4 games, pretty decent form.

I was on the phone to the ticket office 20 minutes ago : I think around 40 tickets left in whole stadium as of then 

Thankfully we have ours 

Hopefully we win 

My guess 2-1

Great news on the ticket sales. 

Wasn't that many years ago we were nowhere near selling out the ground. 

I'm leaning towards 3-0

Be really good to finish the year with a win 

Downside is guaranteed manager of the month award 😀 We all know how that works out 👀

[elvis]

Nancy will get that for beating Aberdeen. 

[beyond our ken]

Cant make it due to my yo-yo health issues

Saints 0-0 Killie, half time. 

Quite why we've not scored is hard to fathom. 

Playing some very good stuff, just need a wee bit of luck. 

Killie have had a couple of chances into the bargain. 

Good game to watch.

Yes. Could easily be 3-3. 

Maybe second half will do better.

Well, 0-0, full time. 

Dominated but needed an early goal. 

Frustrating and disappointing. 

[HSS]

A fair result 

[elvis]

Why do we continue to try and walk the ball into the net instead of having a pop.

[fmckinn]

Thought our final ball into the box was poor most of the game. Also why are we always wanting a touch first before getting a shot off.

[guinness]

Although we were better th a n Kilmarnock we were very  poor. Worries me the manager wants  to extend the contracts of all three centre forwards. Possibly Mandro n but certainly not Ay unga. He is very poor. I know he scored two in the final but he is really a very poor player. We need constructive midfield player and forward who scored consistently.

One other point , why can we not leave a player up the park when the other team have a corner?  Even if we win the ball our player hestitates to play itforward as there is no-one there . We then quite often get caught in possession as we stop to think what to do.
