cedrick1 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Sorry disagree. I can’t recall him having a good game or at level of last season since his return. Second half he was out wide and awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedrick1 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I expected a loss tonight as we were against the champions elect so no disgrace in that the way we folded and played in the second half was however disappointing. need to concentrate on regrouping for play offs and certainly entering play offs playing like that will result in only one thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Superb performance from Saints tonight. For me, the best signal of our intent was McGinn after the first goal - didn’t join in the celebrations, instead grabbed the ball ran back to the halfway line and placed it firmly on the centre spot. To me that said: “Okay, we’ve scored a goal. Good start, but lots of work still to do.”. That spirit is what’s got us where we are and what is going to get us over the line.

glenburn bud Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 That was a superb display from us tonight. Without sounding disrespectful we could easily have scored 8 or 9 tonight and still moved up another gear. Morgan is a joy to watch and his two goals had class written all over them. 7 Home games and 7 wins with no goals conceded. We are relentless consistent and light years ahead of every team in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmitch Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Enjoyable watch on St.Mirren TV. Great start to the day for me. I thought the referee had an excellent game too. I hope the Sons stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great performances all over the park for Saints and some individual moments of magic thrown in. However, I thought the desire to win the ball back was exceptional. We were hunting in packs and their midfield - front were hassled n harried at every turn. A truly champion elect performance. For Sons, its now looking likely that the play offs beckon due to Inverness and Falkirk's current form. Still an outside chance of catching up but need to find goals from somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dullard Bluteau Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Great display from Saints last night, the brace from Morgan was special. Results from other games seem to all be in out favour too, so its only academic that we win the title now. The save from Sammy at 2-0 was crucial and inspired the team. Well done Saints !

Gareth_Glasgow Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Ryan Flynn deserves a mention, he was excellent against Dunfermline and again last night. His drive is fantastic and he takes a great corner as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 2 wins from 24 (Yes, 24) league games against teams who aren’t Brechin. Inverness and Saints were the two teams to fall. I think that says a lot. Edit: And I should say that both ICT and St Mirren finished with 10 men in those games. Aye and we've only scored 12 goals in those 24 games. Full record is P24 W2 D9 L13 F12 A36 Pts 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full record is P24 W2 D9 L13 F12 A36 Pts 15 Saved me a job this afternoon working that out! That record is grim. Expand it over a season if Brechin hadn't came up, and we'd end on (if my rough maths is correct, feel free to have a good laugh if it's miles off) 23 points: P36 W3 D14 L19 F18 A54. Teams with that sort of form deserve to be relegated, even if the draw percentage is unnaturally high. In terms of goalscoring seasons this must be our worst for quite some time. Even when we were absolutely garbage at the wrong end of the Third Division we scored a reasonable number - it was just keeping them out that was the issue. A quick check shows 31 for in 2007-08. Not good at all, but still quite a few more than our current tally of 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 A wee bit about Dumbarton’s performance... I actually thought they started really well, and were playing with a lot of energy. Wondered if they’d been told to give it all they could for the first 15 mins, maybe sneak a goal, and then have something to defend. Saints goals knocked the stuffing out of them, but who knows what effect an immediate goal after our second would have had on them - which aside from a great Sammy save is exactly what they’d have had. Almost had some sympathy for them in the second half as it was the very definition of ‘chasing shadows’ as Saints played some great stuff. I say ‘almost’ as there were a few really wild and nasty tackles flying in in the last 15-20 minutes. Frustration no doubt, but not nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 St Mirren have actually looked a pretty decent side in recent weeks. Might be April before they're relegated next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
