Coventry Saint Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 We weren't great, there. Created no real chances in the box and restricted to long range efforts. Alnwick has looked dodgier than he's looked all season. O'Hara being livid for being booked for his second stonewall booking was some laugh, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX1886 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Decent first half for us - but not getting over excited based on the team's talent for blowing it this season...I can’t remember the exact number but when Stephen Robinson talked about how often the team that scores first usually wins, something like 80%, I think we make up the other 20%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Erwin looks like he's gone a long way backwards since the heady days where he was getting shithousing lessons from Scott McDonald.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 To be fair to Erwin he has not had much service. McGrath, Connolly, McAllister have not been on it at all. Doyle-Hayes has not been able to dictate the game because of Motherwell's high press. We need to work out a way to get in about Motherwell because they do look vulnerable when we have managed to get into attacking areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was some save he made from Watt. Motherwell’s delivery from corners has been excellent, really difficult crosses to handle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston_bud Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Motherwell are worth their lead. Cole has looked good and corners are causing us problems. We're not out it though. Second half prediction: O'Hara to get sent off and Saints to win 2-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more a bad miss than a good save imo but he kept it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 St. Mirren 8 shots at goal, none on target. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby_F Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Fair score at HT. Given Kelly took 70 seconds to take the two goal kicks just before HT though shows that Well’s confidence is fragile. If (IF) Saints can get the next goal I think we’ll win it. But aside from 3 shots dragged past the post we’ve not really threatened much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAD Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Defo better team ahead at half time. f**k knows how we dig it out from here. We are so fragile from crosses all of a sudden as well, was the same last week. If Motherwell go for it here, and get 2-0 up, it's game over. If they decide to sit in and let us have the ball we may get off the hook. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezz Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 We are definitely going to need a second goal if we want the three points. Not got much confidence in us keeping a clean sheet although Gallagher and Mugabi have played well so far. 1-0 probably feels about right based on the first half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth_Glasgow Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Very disappointing performance so far. McAllister has done his usual anonymous performance after a few promising ones off the bench, seems to be a pattern now. Feel like I say this every week now but we’re got no presence in the middle of park, Erhahon definitely needs a test and Doyle-Hayes needs to get up the park.I will be gutted if Obika goes and Erwin stays but either way, surely Dennis should have got a chance to start today ahead of Erwin? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishBhoy Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 A lone striker that doesn’t have the ability to hold in a ball that comes to him above waist height is as good as a man down. It’s probably the most important skill a lone striker needs to be effective. Look at how a guy like Dykes puts himself about, takes balls into his chest and plays with his back to goal allowing players to get up and support. Compare that to Erwin who gets a ball into his chest and ends up playing a through ball for the motherwell forwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX1886 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Ideally need to come out firing and hopefully get the second. Can’t see it finishing 1-0, especially if St Mirren go for a change up top. Edited January 9, 2021 by ZX1886 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Everyone on BBC taking about new Manager bounce. A better performance from us BUT no bounce unless we keep this up and win. This game is wide open still. Next goal all important obvs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SANTAN Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Any way St Mirren win this? Asking for the sake of my drunken accumulator. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
