    • I think today's game is up there with the poorest matches I've ever attended.  Neither team covered themselves in glory and it was a poor advert for Scottish Football.  Indeed, neither team deserved all three points and unfortunately for us we weren't the team that got them. The one thing about football that all football fans could possibly agree on is that we all see things differently.  For example, I thought Liam Donnelly did quite well, especially when moved into defence.  My season ticket seat is quite low down in the West Stand and I saw him, in the Second-Half especially, making a lot of important tackles and making a number of important interceptions down the right-hand side which crucially stopped Rangers players getting towards our box.  Would I have preferred Jayden Richardson in that position, of course I would have but we unfortunately lost him after his clash of heads with Alex Gogić.  Liam Donnelly did well given it wasn't his usual position.  He was also involved in some nice play with Mark O'Hara, Dan Nlundulu and Jonah Ayunga (it was nice to see big Jonah back). Anyway, we seemed to be a bit lackadaisical at the back for the Rangers goal and, that goal apart, I felt we were fairly comfortable. There was a huge improvement in performance in the Second-Half and with a bit of luck we might have managed an equaliser and got a deserved point as we were no better and no worse than they were.  I don't like saying this about any St. Mirren player but I just can't see what Allan Campbell is supposed to be bringing to us.  Yes, he runs about a lot and tries to get on the ball but I can't see a positive end to his runs and passes. Jacob Devaney is a class player and I hope we seem him starting more games between now and the end of the season. Hopefully Jayden Richardson will be okay as we really can't afford any more injuries at this stage of the season. Hopefully the interim coaching team can get enough out of the players while they're in charge to keep us away from automatic relegation and the playoff slot.
    • The longer the game went the stronger and more confident we became, all be it without really looking like getting an equaliser. As the confidence grew it was nice to see some good passing moves develop, so credit to the interim management team for this as they probably only had two sessions to work on anything. Hopefully Devaney will take a boost in confidence from playing against one of the better teams in the league and he did not look out of place at all. The news on Baccus is terrible and with all the other long term injuries, we will need all the remaining squad until the seasons end, so don't see the point in singling poor performances out. I thought Freckleton was immense at the back and far more like himself, Goga was prime Goga, Devaney will get better every game, and I thought the much maligned Donnelly was very good. It was also pleasing to see us move away from that stupid kick off that has served us so well...😮
