Not clear and obvious on handball unfortunately. Also reckon it sort of evens out as we should have conceded a penalty a few mind prior I felt.

Still maintain that in that situation, keepers should be warts and all when they come out. Punch the ball, clatter the attacker, as long as the momentum is with a goalie and as long as you're not wiping the attacker out with a leading leg you're getting a foul 9 times out of 10 on that situation.

Wee bit of a learning exercise in maybe being a bit more cynical in future.

 

Looked like a foul in real time to me

Was surprised nothing given 2bh but not surprised with these incompetent refs. Said it from the start-var won't make a difference as its still the same incompetent referees running it

Be glad and hope when Ayunga returned, he is as good as he was before his injury.

I just can't see any real ability from Mandron or Olusanya up front, and the lack of goals between them in the league does worry me. 

Please prove me wrong next week guys.

 

 

But yet we're 2nd in the league after 7 games

I am still not sure we need another striker with the formation we play. 

I'd recon its competition for mandron esp now we seem to be changing formation whilst attacking (343 it seems) and defending (5-4-1 i think)

So naturally need more cover.

McGrath is better than Kiltie, hes just absolutely dreadful at picking the right club to join. 

Not on this seasons performances so far. He has had to bide his time to get regular starts in the team and has been one of our better performers so far this season and last seasons ending.

Obviously hope Bolton does very well, but everything about that interview suggests he's here for the season and will be heading back down south if he gets fit/into form again.

I agree to a certain extent but its a win win inmo. He will be looking to put on a show to be in the shop window. isn't beadu out of contract next season? Mabe we could be getting him on a pre in jan for next season?

Wow, the place is going to be empty looking at the website. Not very encouraging

Can you blame them after the last 2 performances?

[The St. Mirren FC 2023/24 thread]

Bottom line is were not good enough (yet) team need to get the finger out and stop playing pissy passy passes and hopefull long balls. Feel like we hold onto the ball 2 much and need to make sharp quick passes and turn our markers and be more fluid, composed and direct. Mcmenamin as a wing back is a joke either stick to the tried and trusted 532 or play 4 at the back, 3 at the back will never work its easy to see that 3 centre half's don't work.

It seems to me to be worse than it’s ever been. There’s a ridiculous over reaction to absolutely everything. After that draw with St Johnstone you’d think that relegation had just been confirmed. Short memories indeed. Anyway, we’ve just signed that Aussie right wing back.

 

Good stats also

Seems we have finally completed the wing backs jigsaw

Some of the stuff directed at John Needham on Twitter is disgraceful.

We’ve got some right bellends in our support.

Is that you just noticed?

There straight on social media after work most nights crying about something or another its embarassing 2bh

He doesnt offer enough defensively for me.

The real problem is i see him as an attacking mid and jamie and now ronin are ahead of him.

Defensively he can't play centre mid for me.

He needs a free role behind strikers imo

Although i do wish the lad well as long as its not against us

[The St. Mirren FC 2023/24 thread]

Talk about nickerwetting

We havent replaced jdh in my opinion until today so mabe the lad ronin has been brought in to play that role and we can now play the game through the middle of the pitch?

I for 1 am looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the team.

Rwb seems to be the only area we missed out on.

I'll reserve judgement untill we see how the team plays now and i for 1 am glad we kept jamie, we need to build the team around him.

Give them time guys come on were barely a handful of games into the season and the toys are out the pram 

As for cammy i think its a win win for us as he was never getting to play ahead of jamie or ronin and thus not getting any game time and id say Ethan's position aint safe now either
