He's got three years on his 'Boro contract, having just penned a new one in the summer, so it's unlikely we'd be able to sign him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Sensible Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Zach Hemming is up there now he isn’t just an upgrade on Carson, he’s an total upgrade i never rated Carson so I’m biased, but really, Carson wouldn’t have done that today even when hemming kicked it long and it went out, geat tactic!

GAD Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Have to be honest, I wasn't keen on moving Gogic back to CB. Thought he was a bit flaky there and we lost too much in midfeild. I was wrong, absolutely magnificent again today. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_and_White_Stripes Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) I know the league's our bread and butter, but I think the next game is absolutely massive. The chance of a Hampden semi-final, with Celtic having been knocked out, and with us on form, it's got to be said that we have a real chance of winning a major trophy. Silverware has to be what any club ultimately aspires to achieve, and this is a cracking opportunity.

djchapsticks Posted September 23, 2023 Author Share Posted September 23, 2023 Don't know how long this train will go but it's definitely worth riding it til the wheels fall off it. Points at this stage are money in the bank for the long slog ahed and without being negative, it actually affords us the breathing room of the inevitable rubbish spell when it comes without losing ground and playing catchup so much. The exciting part is that I'm still relatively confident that the good start can carry on a couple more weeks yet. Killie away is a rough place for us but we can definitely get something and Ross County and St. Johnstone sandwiching a visit of Rangers means thst hopefully we can see the first round of games out by time we head to Parkhead, still being in the European places with more strong points on the board. Definitely not, in even the most optimistic of St. Mirren supporters eyes, would anyone dare to suggest 14 points from first 18. Honestly one game at a time but it's almost like this isn't real. I've been going to games for 29 years and have only known in my formative years, lower league Saints sides that were always in crisis and in my adult years, top flight Saints sides fighting and struggling to stay above the water line. You hear guys talking about the teams of the 70s and 80s and wish you could have experienced it but only knew shite, struggling St. Mirren. It's honestly bizarre and surreal to look at us in the upper reaches of the league and understand just how genuinely special it is to be in this position, regardless of how short term it is. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some merit in what RandomGuy said though a few weeks back. We've not actually achieved anything yet. If it transpires that we get a couple of seasons of 5th/6th and drop back down again, will I be upset that was out whack? Nah...I've been chuffed at the cohesion of the squad, the relationship built between team and fans and the memories of this period, however long it lasts, will stick with me forever. A trophy though, something to show for the efforts would be unreal. Losing on Wednesday won't define our season, but winning definitely would be a further step towards something that does. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tam the bud Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 Player of the season (so far) had to be Gogic. This guy is miles better than any other player in our team and that include Hemming who had only made 1 mistake in 6 games. I wll settle for that for the rest of the season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst it's true we haven't achieved anything yet, it's always difficult for teams like us to pick up silverware or get into Europe. Looking at where we were only a few seasons back, shows how far we've progressed. It's still September and we're currently on 14 points after 6 games (and should probably be 16 points). To give some context in 19/20 season it took us until December (and 17 games) to get to 14 points. 18/19 it was February and 27 games. And in 16/17 it took us 23 games - in the Championship! So, I understand opposing fans hitting us with the "you haven't achieved anything yet" patter, we should absolutely be enjoying it. Let them say it, as it does have a whiff of bitter envy about it.
