I know Tait wasn’t happy on the bench.
Wouldn’t be that fussed to see him leave. Decent squad player but can’t see him getting a new contract.

Heard he , and one or two others , were in line to be going out on loan in January, till the end of their contracts !
No massive surprise to see him and Erwin leave to allow some fresh attacking players to come in - McAllister in that camp for me too.

Any talk of booting out Goodwin is lunacy. He's here for the long term. When he does go, it'll be on to bigger and better things.
Not showing he can make the step up yet.

He's not learning tho. Same formation, mistakes and problems every single week.
We have a 3 at the back squad who can't play 3 at the back. We need to bring in a left back in January and move to a 4.
Fraser-Joe-McCarthy-LB.
We also need a right winger. McAllister has had too many chances already- he's just not good enough.
Finally, and the biggest problem, a striker who can score goals.While I think the formation doesn’t get the best out of our forward players, it’s the strategy that sits behind it that’s concerning.
How often do we see the ball punted forward to Tanser’s head as he’s probably taller than the right back? Or how often do we see floated crosses or passes? We’re not a good team, but we have good enough players to not be losing 4-1 to Aberdeen or 0-1 to Dundee.

Can't argue with a single word he says.
Alnwick, I mean, not Ric...
Alnwick is bang on. He had to make more saves than the County keeper throughout the game.
We may have had 20+ shots, according to the stats. I’d maybe call 2 of them semi decent shots.

2 points from home games against Dundee, Livvy and County. Fucking garbage. Due to give someone a doing? On what evidence? Our strikers could hardly kick the ball hard enough tonight to give anyone a doing.

Must win for me.
Must win for Goodwin, not so much the club.

From my seat in the west stand it looked at least three quarters full.
Definitely not. And the west stand was no way full.
It was a crap crowd. End of story.

Yeah not saying that at all either. It's more a step back and looking at the snapshot of the season so far at home. We should be turning in better performances than we are and 6 goals in 7 home games is testament to that.
If we were passing up chance after chance then you could at least fall back on bad luck and be confident that the goals will come eventually but we're simply not creating enough in general to put teams away.
Yeah, 1 point gathered at home against Livvy and Dundee isn’t great and it starts to put fans into the “where’s our wins going to come from” headspace.
not shouting for Goodwin to go, but just so frustrated as we could be doing so much more with some of players we have.

McAllister has also played there since we last saw Millar - he did well at Motherwell and has done well there earlier in the season when coming off the bench but he can't be the long term fix for the position. I would agree Millar is a better all round option for the position, with Tait as back and perhaps to be a bit more solid. For what it is worth (very little, as nothing I ever hear comes to fruition), I was told a few weeks ago that Goodwin was looking for a right back/right wing back in January which seemed odd to me given we had 2 options for the position already.
Jay Henderson started the season there too, I think.
Wouldnt be surprised if we were looking at a RWB. For all Tait played well yesterday, it’s pretty clear that he’ll be one that’s away at the end of the season given he’s frequency on the bench and age.

I would say in my opinion we are the worst team I have seen in the league this season and yes I have seen every game we have played. Our home Performances are shockingly bad f**k knows how we have managed to amass 16 points.
Nae offence pal, but you’ve been saying that since the day you were born.

There's no way there was only 3.000 home fans at that game yesterday someone is at it.
I’d believe it. Main Stand around me was much quieter than usual.

Just saw the crowd for the game……3,016.
I know Livy only brought 79 fans but our home crowds are shocking right now, struggling to see how you market our league beyond the arse cheeks, to improve it.
Games like today don’t help but that’s more like our Championship crowds.

Jim needs to find another gear, or a plan B. The wingback system with only one wingback is fucking guff, but he’s absolutely wedded to it now and it strangling us this season - the stats are telling. As was discussed Friday, Millar in the team and we win some games. He drops out and we don’t.

Terrible game, and the number 11 for Livvy is probably the worst player I’ve seen in the top flight…

Wingbacks are rare as hell. If that's our system, then we should do whatever we can to keep hold of decent ones.
We had our best run of the season with Millar coming into the team and then lost a bit of form when he dropped out.
He’s not been spectacular, but it’s invaluable having someone that knows that role and he gives us so much balance.

I think it’s going to be difficult for Needham to come out of this still in role given the Kibble have supposedly made a statement about it.
He’s been a bit stupid - you’d think people would clean their social media these days before going into a role like that.

He jarred his knee in the turf in an earlier challenge and fucked his back by looks of it. Horrific and potentially very long term.
Looked like he was holding his abdomen, so don’t think it’s a knee injury. They didn’t put a brace on either.
However, still stands as injuries there can be horrible. Ian Ross missed the whole of the 00-01 campaign from an abdomen tear.

Do season ticket holders still get access to St Mirren TV for home games? Mrs away the weekend and don’t fancy taking a 9 month old along on Sunday.

Yeah, though the arrival of Ronan has clearly been what was missing. Fairly damning indictment of Kiltie who was meant to be doing the same thing and was well short of the task.
Today I guess it's a straight choice between Erhahon and Main to start, depending on whether we play two sitting CMs or two strikers.
Ronan has definitely helped. However, I know the boo boys have started, but I think Millar has also made a big difference purely by giving us some balance on the right and being someone that knows that position.
Both have made a difference, just in different ways.

Dunne is injury prone. We should have looked elsewhere
It’s a kinda win as it means Goodwin plays our best defender.

St Mirren earned £100,000 last night with Paul McGinn starting for Scotland being reported.
Also heard that Hibs included the kitman and Potter in the swap deal for McGrath…

Some of the stuff directed at John Needham on Twitter is disgraceful.
We’ve got some right bellends in our support.

Think Fitzy's ship has sailed here.
Looks like in George Adam and the new chairman's eyes, a lot of the issues stemming from the club recently, the buck stops with Tony.
Yeah, I’d be surprised if Tony is still in the CEO role by Xmas.

Agreed.
I think we’ve also seen at Hibs and Sunderland the wider issues he had.
No doubt his turnaround was spectacular for us and promotion next season, but it’s often forgotten that we were murder in the second half of the promotion season. In our four games against Brechin that year, who were fucking terrible, we only ever managed to beat them by one goal. I’m pretty sure that one was a late winner, possibly Hilson?
Good man manager, questionable tactics wise.
