Ditto!

Hodge was the best player on the pitch today by a long way. His driving forward with the ball was superb and he must’ve covered every blade of grass on Tannadice.

Not judging by your remarks on this thread.

The road out of Fir Park is not paved with gold as many have discovered.

That’s football for you - all about opinions.😉

Football is all about opinions.

Not a lot to warm the cockles today but we take the points and importantly a clean sheet and move. It takes some of the pressure off the players and importantly the manager who I thought got the balance of the starting line-up wrong but recognised it needed changed and made the right changes at the right time. For me St Mirren came for a point. They defended very deep and in numbers and posed very little attacking threat but we didn’t have the nous to take advantage. We huffed and we puffed but the final pass just wouldn’t come. On a side note I can’t see why Palmer-Houlden gets into the side ahead of Bjorgolfsson who caused St. Mirren’s giant defensive orks more trouble in 15 minutes than Palmer-Houlden did in 75 minutes and was unlucky not to score from nothing.

That must be a record for Gogic - not booked until 86 minutes.

No problem. 😉

No ffs don’t sit back.

No he hit the ball with his arm. Its hand to ball.

At last!

That’s a penalty kick 9 days a week.

So now it’s hoofball!

Yes, I’m surprised it wasn’t reviewed as it could’ve been a red card.

The passing from our two centre-backs is shockingly bad. It’s either too long or too a man with a defender up his back.

Looking at the bench and there’s no goal threat their either.

Palmer-Houlden is as mobile as the QE2 in a boating pond.

The longer this goes at 0-0 the more likely we’ll lose 1-0.

It really is a turgid match and it’s hard to see how we will score.

Our all-time home record in the league vs St Mirren: P109 W62 (57%) D23 (21%) L24 (22%) I’d usually expect us to win at home against them but in our present form…….

Your may be correct but as you know, football is very much results-driven and 2 wins from 11 league games and 6 defeats on the trot is relegation form and only ends one way - the manager gets fired. It’s has always been easier to get rid of one man rather than get rid of the real culprits - the players. I think the next 2 games before the international break may well decide AJ’s future at the club. I like the guy and hope he can turn it round but given his lack of experience I have serious doubts.

More like the proverbial tackety boot up the a*se and out the door!

I agree Grizzly but it will hinge on the manager picking the right players and the players then delivering a winning performance. At present I’ve no confidence in either. If we lose, no matter whether we play well or not, sadly I think the board is going to have a big decision to make over the next few days. Their problem will be that if they do decide to pull the trigger, who will they replace him with. I think JBA was fantastic for us last season but it is looking increasingly like it was a one off and trying to replicate it this season was always going to be mission impossible, especially given the players we lost. JBA excepted, I’m not a fan of bringing in foreign coaches to Scotland. They quite rightly assume that the players who will be under their charge will have a certain level of ability and competence but that’s not the case as witness by the deplorable performances of our clubs in the various European competitions season after season. Hibs and Hearts have both brought in foreign managers and the early signs are not good, especially for Hibs who are in the same boat as us right now.

We’ve played every team in the league with a record of: P11 W2 D3 L6 GF13 GA20 GD-7 It’s not hard to see where the problems lie - scoring just over 1 goal per game but conceding nearly 2. Our record against the sides in the bottom 6 is piss poor: P5 W1 D1 L4 GF9 GA13 GD-4. All 5 of these games have been away from home and against clubs we are quite capable of beating. If we lose to St Mirren at home on Saturday then the fans could turn against the manager.
