    The St. Mirren FC 2023/24 thread

    in Scottish Premiership General Chatter

    Posted

    Up until the last couple of games, we’ve been playing with 2 central midfielders instead of the 3 we played with last season. This was to accommodate the 2 wide players along with a striker

    O’Hara (and Baccus) have therefore more defensive work to do and less opportunities to attack.

    With McMenanin dropped and a switch back to 2 up front, this means 3 central midfielders again and hopefully we’ll more of O’Hara & Baccus going forward

    While I agree that McMenamin isn’t comfortable at RWB, I’m not so sure that he’d be comfortable on the left wing

    He played right wing at Glentoran where he scored 39 goals in 80 games. He scored his only goal for NI playing in the right

    Not saying that we shouldn’t play him on the left, just pointing out that we signed him based on his performances on the right wing

    As for the team in general, we’re sitting 3rd and there isn’t much between any of the sides after the OF. I’ve watched years of shite where we were struggling in the First Division. I’d expect a defeat away to Ross County anytime and anything else is a bonus!

    The Financial Reports issued by the club are deliberately opaque so it's silly to try and read too much into them but last season included a Top6 finish in the league and an away cup tie to Sellick resulting in revenue by up by well over £1M from the previous season, are we likely to do much better this season?

    We'll probably have the dilemna of trying to cash in on at least one of our better players in the January transfer window while maintaining our current league position. 

    We also sold Ethan Erhahon

    I would take issue on your “last (double) kick of the ball.” After said “last (double) kick of the ball”, St Mirren managed to “concede” another penalty which would have taken all three points away from them. But the VAR decided not to refer the referee to the screen in that instance.

    But that incident wouldn’t have happened had the double hit penalty not been awarded

    Most people had doubts about Zach based on his form with Killie. 

    He has rebuilt his confidence with us and the coaching of Langfield has helped. 

    He is enjoying his football and we are benefiting. 

    Unless folk are familiar with Kilmarnock reserves, his form with Killie first team was excellent.

    Massive upgrade in the hapless Carson. If we’d had a half decent keeper last season we’d have qualified for Europe. Carson is hopeless. 
     

    To get a fee for that donkey and replace him with someone better is a stroke of genius.

    Who’s on the plane?

    Assuming all fit

    Gunn, Kelly, Clark

    Patterson, Hickey, Porteous, Hendry, Hanley, McKenna, Cooper, Tierney, Robertson

    McGregor, Gilmour, McLean, McTominay, McGinn, Armstrong, Ferguson, Christie

    Dykes, Adams, Doak

     

    Possibly Jack instead of McLean or Cooper - but someone is bound to miss out through injury anyway

    Shankland, Stewart & Conway possibilities instead of Doak or injury to the other 2 strikers 

    Edit - if Barnes wants to switch when he’s fit then he’d be on the plane instead of Doak
