You surname isnae Polworth by any chance?! :-)

What I find quite interesting is the number who were dead set against Tommy Wright coming in because of the awful style of football we would undoubtedly suffer and he we are with justification after justification for a style that is every bit as numbing, if not more so, as anything Wright has served up. Alexander has achieved his primary aim with a few games to spare. I give him a lot of credit for that, particularly after the losses to Hamilton and St Johnstone that really me worried we were about to fall off a cliff. But I don't think it unreasonable to have hopes that the style of play will evolve. I fear that feeding off scraps, the smash and grab wins and the attempts to kill games by shutting up shop and throwing on defenders won't be sustainable for too long. And when I think back to some of the flak Robinson received when we were in higher positions in the table for the kind of football played neither do I think some of our support will be accepting of that indefinitely. Interesting times lie ahead for sure.

While it's entertaining extrapolating one January signing to represent every future piece of business a manager is likely to do (and easy to use to support any views you might have, good or bad) it's not exactly a huge sample to form an opinion. If you'd told the fans in Janaury that we'd be guaranteed league safety in April and in the Cup quarter finals, I think most of us would have taken it. Once he's reassembled a team for next season we'll have a better idea of where we're headed.

Polworth has turned into a bit of a Kante recently...

That's the only time you're gonnae see the words 'fit' and 'Eddie Nolan' in the same statement.

My missus says the same about my jokes!! Lol

Scottish football is what it is, not the best standard, but it's always been that way. GA won't be building a team to challenge for the title, for 10 of the 12 premiership teams 3rd , 4th or 5th in the league, a European place, and a good cup run constitutes a great season. On the budget we will have as always recruitment will be from the lower leagues in England, Scotland and elsewhere, we have found some great players from there in recent years, but also some utter dross, so given the events of this season we need to choose carefully . Given his experience and contacts in the English lower leagues I am confident GA and the coaching staff can bring in players who will be a good fit for the team and how he wants us to play, so here's hoping we can unearth another Higdon or Moult.

Reading through the post game comments, really surprised people wanted a St Mirren win. We should be looking up the table now! 4 wins in the last 5 league games with a couple of cup wins in there too. We might be shite but we're pretty effective!

The Bruce Cleland / Willie Irvine dream team.

Easily entertained. We’re going to have some team going by the expectations of some on here. Before the usual sycophants jump all over this - his was a worthwhile appointment.

Utter dugshite

Be a bit tough, she went 16 years ago ...... and cremated ...... and I'm not Thanos

The only entertaining thing for me in the past 4 months is the league table tonight and Hibs away. The rest has been like paying £1,000 for a lapdance and yer maw comes out

On the phone to Alan Burrows asking how much budget he has for the summer rebuild and another season in the premiership

I think other than a few really bad performances against Killie, St Johnstone and Hamilton I think Alexander has come in and steadied the ship and saved us from the drop. For me it’s job done. He has inherited a squad in decline and his job over the summer will be the rebuild (the January signings I am not including as they were panic buys during Covid. All were a risk and most will be punted) He has made a good start in getting O’Donnell on a long term deal. Let’s see what happens in the summer.

Contacts? Brings in players who are a good fit? Like Eddie Nolan? That’s correct, the very same player who has never trained at the club? That’s on GA. You’ll see why some don’t share your confidence...
