Daunting to look too far ahead. Enjoying this season so far. Some great results & have been a pretty competitive side. As the old cliche - each game at a time. Focus is just getting a result against Hibs.

I was never one to slate Main tbh, and he’s came on bounds since SR took over; one of the early good points. 
 

As for my thoughts on SR, I said a few weeks back I didn’t think he was the right man & hope he proves me wrong. If/when we pick up some more points against teams we should be looking to compete with… if we do this, then I’ll be back on this thread, eating humble pie for sure. 
 

in the meantime, there’s been a marked improvement - not just in results but performance too. So, see you, hopefully in a few weeks with a big ‘I’m sorry I was wrong’ 😂

Munching through a slice of it as we speak. Happy to admit I was very wrong. 

Great wee day. Took my daughter and the rest of our st Mirren girls academy squad and they were mascots and ball girls. Great day, good result 

I think because we only have one game plan teams have found us out.

 

ah well, was nice while it lasted lol

Exceptionally poor today

Yup, it seems that the fakes aren’t streaming the game to their plethora of overseas fans, so assume it’s just not on. Which is shite 

Any links to the game today?

We might need him for a benefit to pay Robinson's salary the way things are going

That would be money for nothing…

Hard to see a win today, or at all… but I’ll go in blind faith and maybe we can pull something out the bag and kick start our season….. 

 

most like be on here at 5 though, moaning about formation and my usual groans 😂

Ok, we weren’t as bad as I expected and thought manager got most things right. 
Though, ain’t gonna get many games easier than that one… see what happens, onward we go. 
 

positives; Ayunga was better than I’ve seen him, Strain looks no bad and Errahon is looking sharp. 
 

negatives: too many long balls and no cutting edge & didn’t make the most of having wee Jay on the park

I did the same but watch the Fakes v Hibs game.

Please to say the Fakes are as bad as last year with Hibs not much better. 

Best laugh is when the Fakes bring on McPherson and May to save them, that's when you know there no hope for them  

The very small amount of the dire game I seen, yes, the fakes look pretty bad. 

All down to us now today…. Usually I’d make a prediction but I’m honestly not really sure as I can’t fathom the starting 11 or what formation etc as we’ve been a bit all over with this during cup run. 

so, going into this with an open mind and hoping for a strong start. Coys 

Slightly off topic, but decided to watch some of the 3pm kick offs today on the auld dodgy tv stick…. stopped on the county v hearts game, County to their credit looked to have pushed on as a club and look a real attacking threat. Making hearts look pretty poor (maybe they are). 
 

Hoping SR has identified his best 11 and a formation to boot… we need to start strongly against a poor Motherwell. 
 

im gonna try stay optimistic….

My niece signed for the first team recently and is absolutely loving it.

There was a piece on her in the DR a few weeks ago, with my Dad too. Good to see them getting more coverage in the press but would like to see more on the official site.

I think they’ll do better this season than last.

Congrats - amazing news! Well done to her. 
 

100%, would be good to see more coverage of the woman’s game IMO 

My wee girl plays in the academy and hope one day she will make the top squad. 

fills me with pride every Sunday when she pulls on her saints top. 

BBC sportsound has us favourite to be relegated & rightly so. 
 

I don’t think SR knows his best 11 or where to play them. 
 

I hope when the league campaign kicks off he proves me wrong

My question is why has SR persisted with 4-3-3 all pre season and in first 3 cup games then change to 3-5-2 1 week before season starts 

Coz he’s clueless. Simple really… 

At best - I predict play off spot, obviously hoping that there’s one more team with a manager capable of making worse decisions & with less ability to adapt than ours does (kinda unlikely though) 

Having time to think about it, sadly I didn’t expect us to win last night - which is a bad sign against a part time lower league team. 
 

This is a sign of the rapid decline we had since SR took over. 
 

Top 6? Nah, a play off place is a win for us at this point and time & I’d settle for this if we persist with the current management team. 

To add balance to my last post. I don’t think SR is purposely getting every decision wrong…. He just… is

 

He needs to look at the players we have - the nucleus of the team we had last year, look at what they done well and use that as a template coz whatever he’s trying just now is not working and will see us rooted bottom early doors and struggling from there on. I hope he can make the right calls and soon - otherwise it’s curtains for him and most likely, our stay in the top league.

INSERT TEMPLATE HERE

I worked them too hard in training 

plastic pitch and heat. 
 

judge us in 10 games (this is my favourite). 
 

 

 

If we got someone in who could revert back to the formation we used to play - and sought out a Ronan/McGrath type, we could be ok. 
 

but we need to have the balls to just cut ties. The guy is an imposter. He’s taken everything no bad about us and made it a shit show. Now going into season heads will be down and defeated. What an utter failure and worse. He doesn’t know when to admit he’s wrong and play the best way for the team and not his one and only way! 
 

im baffled at the whole thing. I can’t understand how someone can consistently get every decision wrong…

Tommy Craig in disguise? Big long balls to no one. Have a season ticket and will pick and choose games, we will be relegated this year. 

I wonder what he will say this week? Worked the boys too hard in training and they were tired? We shouldn’t judge to 10 games into the season? 
 

 

We are an utter shambles 

 

SR  is clueless - utterly clueless
