Thanks for sharing the highlights really enjoyed yesterday it was good to see Saints scoring some well worked goals 1st one in particular was excellent. Decent starts for Mitov and Jephcott, very impressed with young Steven when he came on too

Agree about Montgomery thought he was great today and wonderful to see Kane back hope he is offered a new contract we looked better with him on the park due to his ability to hold the ball up

That was pretty hellish yesterday, we actually played better last week with 10 in part because Callum was forced to drop his obsession with playing 3 at the back and go to a 4 and you could tell the players were more comfortable with that. Only player with pass marks yesterday was Phillips, rarely if ever have I seen a game where so many players were off the pace. Looked leggy, dispirited and lacking ideas and that joke of a pitch makes playing any kind of football on it nigh on impossible yet he persists with playing 3 central defenders none of whom are exactly good on the ball so we end up lumping the ball up to May and Rudden who hardly put in challenges let alone won anything. Compare that to our 3 defenders against White, he bullied them all day, soon as the corner was coming into the box for their second goal I turned to my son and said "goal" because I knew from the trajectory of the cross we weren't going to win it. It clearly wasn't working in the first half and he had the personal on the pitch to switch it up and go 4-3-3 or even my word not seen this for a while 4-4-2, playing Brown as an orthodox right back and pushing Drey further forward before they scored but as always he can't seem to proactively recognise what's unfolding in front of his eyes and do something before it's too late. We start games so slowly and think some of that has got to be down to poor preparation and planning. I can't sadly see where our next point is coming from and what worries me is that from the evidence of the Partick v Queens Park match I saw on Friday night, on this form if we're in the Play-Offs I'm not exactly convinced we'd win

Thought we did play well and Aberdeen weren't that great. McGowan was excellent

Still can't believe what I saw last night was absolutely unbelievable you wouldn't have believed it if you'd read that as a script. Delighted for Zander whose name will be forever in the annals of history. To a man the team played with heart and pride. Echo comments on here about the midfield Liam and Ali were everywhere yesterday, McCann's tackle when tracking back was something else. Delighted too for Kano who made a real impact when he came on was more his type of game than Guy's. Callum made his subs at exactly the right time and they all came off. Mikey had his best game for ages was delighted for him after his struggles at Rangers. How good were our penalties shades of Lucerne. And total Karma for Roofe after what he did to Muzz. Speaking of which what's the situation with Murray is he close to being fit?

That challenge is a shocker went right over the ball. How is that not a red can't help thinking if it was the other way round Muzz would have been straight off

Hope Muzz is OK I'd be gutted if he misses the final

Alan Mannus wins the Irish Cup for Shamrock Rovers in a penalty shoot out

Nigel again for Hapoel Beer Sheva! Mind you Cillian Sheridan scored for the opponents. Bet that's the first time ex Saintees have scored for either side in a non UK game

Nigel Hasselbaink for Hapoel Ber Sheva in a 3-0 win, 4 in 5 for him and top of the League. Get him back!

Good luck Brian thanks for everything total Saints legend

Muzz for me closely followed by Jason and Mikey

Really enjoyed yesterday best performance for a while. Very impressed these last few weeks with the defence looks very settled and Liam and Jason are both very mature. Muzz appears to be performing back at his best was immense yesterday. Mikey is also beginning to get confidence and sharpness back had a good game yesterday. And was delighted for Kane did really well to win the pen and involved in build up for second too. Pleased someone finally listened to me about Tanser taking free kicks and pens seems to be paying off with 2 goals in a matter of weeks. Just need him on corners now as Liam does have a very frustrating habit of floating them straight to the keeper.

Matty for me best game from him since the New Year. Good to be able to say no failures tonight everyone at least a 6 out of 10. Think Foster played better having Mikey in front of him more akin to what we saw before Xmas with Frey.

Chris Kane for me worked his socks off and pleased for him as deserved a goal. Pass marks too for Gordon, Kerr and Zander but that was at times brutal to watch confidence seemed very low and not sure if the system/formation worked

Points deduction is perhaps the best idea reckon 10 points for incidents like the Steve Clarke one for starters, 15 for a second offence and so on. Make it so draconian the offenders will shit themselves.

Jason for me classy and solid

Totally gutted for Drey and for the team I've been mightily impressed with him so far wish him a speedy recovery and hope the club give him all the support he needs

That was one hell of a performance quite amazing how much confidence has returned. Very entertaining and good to watch. Not a bad display all at least a 7 out of 10. Both full backs great, Joe and Jason solid so much so that Zander had a very quiet afternoon. Third season in a row Murray has scored against Accies at home we look so much better with him alongside Liam who was excellent. Spoony seems to be benefiting massively from having quality players around him and I'm delighted last 2 home games he's been more like his old self. As for Wright, Watt and Kennedy, they all had great games and their pace and directness must be a nightmare for defenders. Best home display for some time loving this run long may it continue

Thought we were pretty good and tactics nearly worked, credit to the team for a decent hard working display. Impressed especially with Foster, Wright and Alston and Spoony had one of his best games for a while. Thought we were gonna get a doing tonight but pleased to be proved wrong. Agree with a previous post that Watt is not a great lone striker, we looked better with Kane up top as he held the ball up better.

Cummins again for Cork City top of the league and he's banging them in

Cummins scored again for Cork City

Very underwhelmed with talk.of Hamilton think we have far bigger priorities than another keeper when we already have Zander. Need some new attacking players so badly plus a Millar replacement with the ability to maintain possession and dictate pace of the game

See Gregory Tade came on as a sub and scored for his Israeli team against Nigel Hasselbaink's team yesterday

Feel gutted not to have gotten anything out of that game, best and most committed performance I've seen in quite a while. Aware some are questioning selections but felt the system worked well and Foster played very well. Not a failure amongt them even subs did well esp Alston. Matty looks like a very promising player, Muzz best I've seen in a while colossal show. Gave me some hope for the rest of the season same 11 next time please with Stef in for Spoony
