Was worried about his fitness after his first game back for us, but he has got back up to speed very quickly and was immense today.

Cagey Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 What a difference it makes playing 2 strikers even though they weren't both up front. They linked well together and both ran themselves into the ground. Bair is still a worry but I think when McLelland gets fully fit he will be an asset. Was annoyed that we sat back at start of second half with 6 men across the back + holding midfielder but they managed to come out of that. Defence was good . Mitchell might be recalled to Millwall if he keeps playing like this. 3 points is massive in this league. Have high hopes that if we get clear of the pressure of playing near the bottom, we could push on to top 6 Havana Saint and Brian Potter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.B.B:- Adz Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 You wonder how important that will be for Nicky Clark to score on his debut. Would to like to have seen him take the penalty to and then you would hope he would he would feel his double figures target is achievable and really kick on.

You can’t come back on to take a penalty after you have been subbed off templeofsaints, PSJ.84, Havana Saint and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As always, my technical expertise has not lead me to this decision in anyway. Well done, I think 3 - 0 counts as "handsomely". Any thoughts about the Killie game yet?

mike_gain Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Bit of an up and down game. St Mirren rarely threatened but we did back of, particularly the start of the 2nd half. Mitchell was excellent, can see why Gordon can't get in the side. Was surprised to see Carey so deep but seemed to work well. What a difference Clark made. Real quality up to great in the air and a real nuisance. May seemed to feed of that. Really liking the look of Matthews, his distribution looks excellent and he seems really athletic. Phillips is my kind of midfielder, looks like he'll be excellent given time. Overall felt we were the better team, defence were solid and only concern was perhaps Bair, ball just didn't stick when he came on. Needs to work hard if he's going to get game time. Looked totally deflated when he missed his chance. Definitely have the opportunity to pick up some points the next few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Who would have thought it!! Play to win and you win. Clark will.be a great signing and Monty was excellent second half. A performance to be proud of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Easy to feel a lot more positive about the season after a result like today. You look at the teamsheet and some decent players in all areas of the park now. Still far too big of a squad, should definitely be putting players out on loan.

Cagey Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Wingbacks combine to score second. Montgomery sat a couple of defenders on their arses with good footwork and passes to Wright who slots it home. Must be the first time this season they have been over the halfway line.

Was expecting Fakes to come out fighting in 2nd half, after halftime rollicking . Needed a 2nd goal to dampen the Fakes enthusiasm. Fakes duly obliged with rash challenge in the box. Definite penalty. Icing on the cake with Montgomery faking to cross, leaving Fake sliding on his arse and picking out Drey Wright who finished superbly. Every player put in a shift and got their rewards. Mention for Clark who set the tone with his goal. Tranmere Saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cristo Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 A few players getting a mention here for their contribution and rightly so. One player who often gets over looked is Andy Considine, once again strolled through the game, a masterclass in defending. He tends to look a bit tired late in the game but generally paces himself well. So he's 35, no substitute for experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mainstand Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 As bad as things have been so far this season we are only 4 behind 4th place and when you think about games we lost, Hibs - 91st minute Hearts - should have held out for draw Aberdeen - One superb free kick Really should have had 2 draws at home prior to todays match.

Wanted the penalty as well. But big thing is he won two headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Great result I guess the 2 goals against the Jambos and 3 against the fakes does that now mean that the sexy Saintees football team is back? Haha Great for Clark to score on his debut, let’s hope he can be our new Hendry type of goal poacher. Surely with May starting it might mean Bair is out to a championship team this week?
