Abernethy Saint Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 The good news is, I think for the first time this season, we can’t go bottom of the league after our next game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Absolutely dreadful game. We seemed happy to sit in and take a clean sheet and point from the start. St Mirren too shite to break us down. MOH hit the keeper when clean through a d that was the only real chance for either side. Massive game on boxing day now. dunkeldneil, Dave H and Miguel Simao 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBored Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Only positive in a poor game was that the defending was much, much better than we have been used to in the past few months. I was sitting there wondering just what we are trying to do with Drey. Last season he looked like he had the full back on toast almost every game until his injury. This season he seems to be too deep, perhaps protecting Ralston somewhat, or he gets the ball wide and then tries to go inside with it....and invariably then runs into traffic and loses it. We need to get back to playing him high and wide like last season if he is going to have any impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Leykis Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 McCann looks crap now he has signed a 3 half year contract, dwelt on the ball passed everything backward. Solid defensively, freshen up the attack in the transfer window and i think we could grind out a fair few victories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright set us up to get a clean sheet & hit on the break which O'Halloran couldn't do for second game in a row. Anti football goalie punts the ball it comes back & instead of taking the ball down on their chest they head it back into trouble. ****ing dire stuff. Has been for a few seasons now. No wonder crowds are slipping away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Mirren work hard on stopping teams play to their strength and are very good at it. We might look back on this point as crucial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 On that display today if any of these two teams escape the drop it will be St Mirren. They at least looked like they have played together before & are not scared of the ball. They also have a great support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cleveland-Saint Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 (edited) odds improved to 5/1 from 9/2... hearts suddenly in the mix betting wise, they were long odds 3 weeks ago. as an edit, Ross county 16/1 and livingston next at 25/1, killie 50/1 Edited December 21, 2019 by Cleveland-Saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 Big chance missed today to start building a gap between us and others at the bottom. I had no doubt St Mirren wouldnt be easy but definitely a team we should have been looking to get 3 points from. Hope we dont regret the past 2 St Mirren games at the end of the season where we have only got 1 point out of 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 We had a couple of half chances with MoH hitting the keeper in 2 minutes, good save and the one on one where lessons have not been learnt. Surely he should know a couple of skill options to score a goal. Reminded me of Kano's one on one in the league cup, and MoHs one on one last week. Thought two teams set up not to lose, more so us. In warm up I watched our back 4 doing drills of heading long balls didnt expect to watch it for most of the game. StMirren playing long balls all game, predictably boring and having little effect. Time and time again, we allowed there defenders to pick out easy punts as we had little press up top. Nothing between the teams in creativity, boring nil nil. Its was a awful game for top flight football, but a point is on the board which is important and at least we're becoming more difficult to beat. Next game, same again and hope we turn a chance or 2 into a goal to win 1-0. SaintJet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristo Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 It was a bit of a turdfest to be fair. Mikey and Drey were disappointing considering what they're capable of an Kennedy barely got a look in as they had two on him as soon as he got the ball. Defence looks a lot more like it though. Gordon was probably a stand out. Hendry? Puts himself about well, always looking for the ball but he's going to get himself hurt the way he throws himself into everything. Chip off the old block there for sure. And if we could only put Booth and Tanser into a blender we'd come out with a damn fine left sided wing/full back.
