Jimmy85 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Yup. Credit where credit is due. It's been one hell of a turnaround. Out of the bottom pile I'd still prefer if St Mirren were relegated, not because I have anything against them but because they'll be in a much stronger position next season. That said, even if they do finish 9th they'll fucking stroll the play offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to think you guys will build on a decent 1st season back in the Championship and push for the play offs. No? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest that both St Mirren and Dunfermline will be nearer the promotion play offs next season. Hence why out of all the sides I'd've preferred the Saints relegated. As I said above there's no chance of them going down now tbh. They'll maul any of the league 1 sides if they happen to finish 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He totally rebuilt a honking Alloa team last summer and led them to 14 wins in 18 matches (punting Ross County, Caley and Raith out the cup) before his move. He has since had the same effect in Paisley. Get a good result next week and I'd fully expect you lot to be title challengers next season. Manager of the the year for under 4 months is pushing it, late January till he got a tune out of the squad tho, I will guess it all fitted into place after beating Dundee in the cup. He has shown he has been able to build a squad and get it gelling in the time required, that said, it can all still go Pete Tong for the play off place, tho they wont lose them. He has done a fantastic job but he has been there from October Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know who it was who reported the 2nd goal as a McManus OG? Mallan's free kick was clearly on target and although there was a massive deflection it should count as his goal and not an OG, don't you think?

Thanks for that It's usually the Press Association that file details of goalscorers, red cards and that's what's used by Soccer Saturday, BBC scores etc for their data. Most of the reports will say it was Mallan's goal but the results sheets with the scorers will probably say OG as they'll use the PA data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning the first ten games of season with a team he'd signed the majority of weeks beforehand. The fact he swapped teams counts against him, but what he's done at both is outstanding. Here's hoping he's at the Indodrill as a spectator only in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club will have access to the referee report from tomorrow (may be Tuesday given the bank holiday) which will give a definitive answer. Or of course they may just have asked the referee begore he left the ground. We do on any contentious goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Makes sense. Next season should be a cracker in the Championship with +/-6 Clubs eyeing the title. You'd have Falkirk and Dundee Utd (dependent if either go up through the playoffs) along with Inverness and now St Mirren going for the title/playoffs, if St Mirren hadn't pulled of this turnaround I'd have been confident we could have at least top four but I'm less sure now, and that's going on the hope Morton continue to absolutely crash and don't challenge. Can only hope that St Mirren lose Morgan and Mallan and don't adequately replace them, like Jimmy I was hoping for them to be relegated, I don't care for them either way but they'll be a pain next season.

I think it's a dead cert they'll both be on their way, but they'll both attract decent fees and, based on January, I have faith that Jack Ross can spend it very wisely. Of course, a 10+ goal midfielder is hard to find, but such is life as a club at our level, as you know. Massive squad overhauls virtually every summer are now standard.

As I've posted previously, I'm not convinced they'll leave unless it's Saints that want to cash in, they're both young guys with an opportunity of playing in a side that could be absolutely flying next season, there's every chance that that will trump cash and a seat on an other clubs bench.

Jack Ross has done a great job re-building the squad in January however Brendan Rodgers fully deserves manager of the year. I don't care what funds are available to have gone so long unbeaten and a potentially win a treble, is a tremendous achievement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
