I still think there's goals in him. I was reading the other day the comments from Dobbie about Lyndon Dykes, and some of the advice he gave him early in his career. I kinda feel like Morias could do with that kind of influence on his game. Junior is a trier and works hard. At 25 if he has not been prolific I cant see that changing. However with more competition for places up front could that be the catalyst to drive him but I have my doubts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthBank Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Maybe some Buddies missed this interesting article recently ... https://ttpo.substack.com/p/why-st-mirrens-latest-signing-could Last season we created more chances than Aberdeen who finished fourth. Our problem was not in creating chances but taking them. I can't remember how many games I left feeling disappointed at easy chances we managed to screw up (and not all from Junior admittedly - Jon is also a culprit). If all the draws we had turned into even a single goal victory we would not have been at the nether regions of the League. Junior played 31 League games last season yet only scored 2 goals in a team that was creating many chances. So much for the 'once he is off the mark' philosophy as it took him 13 games to score his first, his second 4 games later then zilch for 14 games. This season he appears to have continued where he left off missing easy chances. I like his workrate and commitment however when the team is making loads of chances we cannot afford to have a forward who can't score. He panics when he gets a chance then stops playing for a minute afterwards while he has a wee meltdown expressing his frustration which maybe demonstrates where his head is at. Maybe meditation will help but at the moment I see no sign of his mis-firing changing to goal scoring. Apparently he is great in training but when the pressure is on he can't handle it. We need a coach for his thinking and not his footballing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coventry Saint Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 How brilliant is it waking up on a Saturday with the football back again? I know it's still tough for the guys that would normally be in the ground, but still, this is fantastic. Never taking this for granted again. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTOF Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 JG has stated that he wants to be more attacking this season. He'll start today, with McCarthy in , Sheron out, and Foley into midfield. The Menace said that he's only really trained once with the team. If he's shown JG that he's fit enough to start, he will start in place of Morias, as I'm sure JG will see him as part of his best first XI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 It would be *very St Mirren* to lose this, and indeed I won’t be too surprised if we did. However, there is a backbone and effective nastiness to us now that had always been lacking pre Goodwin. We have beautifully shit housed our way to six points and two clean sheets so far and there’s no reason we can’t do it again here. It will certainly be another tight one with the odd goal in it either way.If there’s a winner one of us will be be third (assuming United don’t beat Celtic) going into game week six. Fantastic stuff for either side.I think we will grind out our fourth 1-0 win in our last five games. I’ll be at 30,000 feet for the whole game, hoping to land in Europe to find us in the heady heights of the European spots [emoji1316] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Setting out with the aim of winning as opposed to "not losing" could make our season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankthetank22 Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Pretty sure County WILL score today, not sure but hopefully of a win though. I can see Doohan getting a start, maybe harsh on Laidlaw but he was beaten at his near post last week and Doohan hasn't had an opportunity yet. Hopefully Paton starts again he's so important to our attacking drive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sergie's no1 fan Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 We can't allow County to have as many chances as Accies did, they will be far more clinical.Really intriguing game, any outcome won't come as a shock or surprise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor Sanchez Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 So, I've been charged twice for the game. Thats 25 quid, which should equate to a fiver per Sains goal. Money well spent. No sound either yet. Mon the Buddies...! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
