This could be a deciding moment in how the season pans out I think we pointed this one out last week or the week before, someone needs there arse kicked for this one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youd think that would mean wed be in a better position in the league and an easier run coming however raith and airdrie keep on winning. our last two games of the 3rd quarter are against clyde and raith away. raith have dumbarton away and us at home. we've lost against clyde this season and by all accounts they should have probably beaten raith today or drawn. my additional fear is we play clyde without McManus and I cant remember when sammon last scored (6 all season is a poor return for a team whove scored nearly 50). raith seem not to be playing that well yet grinding out results so not sure if that will catch up with them or it's their year. with raith at home against us, and us away at hoodoo clyde without McManus I'd say raith are favourites to be top going into the final round of games. if we are still within 1 point after the next 2 games that wouldn't be a disaster Clyde looked excellent today. Missed two or three sitters in the first 35 minutes before we showed up, and even then, they constantly delivered pressure. Goodwillie was a serious threat all day, and his late cross should have been absolutely buried, if not for a massive save by Thomson. At Clyde, without McManus, it'll be a tough match for you. I might even hope for a cancellation, that way McManus could skip our game instead, eh? Edited February 22, 2020 by TxRover 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuinely laughable decision This might be a time where we need to get a free agent to try and tide us through to the end of season, but then we shouldnt have been in this position in the first place. I dont think M and M are naive enough to think 18 would make do to the end of season unless there was pressure from higher up in the club. Is Lex still in charge of footballing matters ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Suspension aside, this week has been an important gut check for us which we have passed. Pleasing. After the red card if felt a bit greedy hoping Clyde held out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Yes, Lex is still in charge. That’s why it’s the way it is wrt player numbers. It’s another of those unfathomable appointments made by the astute people on the MSG. It’s like they collectively have this huge blind spot that continually allows idiots to play at being movers and shakers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be one, unless the referee somehow reports it as serious foul play.

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 In McKinnon's 14 matches in charge we managed 6 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats. 11 league games under M&M now, 7 wins and 4 draws. 24 goals scored and 6 conceded. It's a notable improvement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable but cmon, its not as if we have a squad of outstanding players that at worst to match in what we have to increase the squad numbers. Having no cover at the point when we lose players(suspension, injuries) might hit us hard in either winning the league or play offs You can never guarantee a new player will fit in or improve us either, its a massive gamble if we don't add to the sparse 18 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbrbairn Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Think back to some of the squad fillers and out of contract gems we have picked up in the January window in the last two seasons. If that's the dross on offer I don't think we have missed much 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct! Dumping the academy and the reserve team means a squad of 18 is about right. That's where the real blame lies. You simply cannot have a group of players sitting about doing nothing every week waiting on a suspension or injury that can't be fixed by the 18. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t have done this without an upside. I would have thought they would be getting those grants regardless since that's what they do. How would they achieve extra grants by investing in St Mirren? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
