Nice Tony.

Wootherspoon a tad lucky not to get a second yellow.

Lawless on for Donnelly

Watt on for Shields

Another smart save by Clark. Better so far.

He missed another in the first half tbf. not trying to temp fate here but he has regressed massively as a player.

No luck at all. Off the post

It was a bright enough opening with Clark making a good save from Van Veen and a great save from Woolery but before we conceded we looked like shooting ourselves in the foot with Donnelly gifting May a chance he should have buried. From the 25th min St J have bossed it tbh, you would think we were the side that played mid week.

HT - need a much better performance in the second half.

Stephen O'Donnell OG

1-0 St J

Great save from Clark, to deny Woolery.

Shocking defending. Lucky to get away with that.

St J fans not happy as Jason Kerr is missing for the lineup. Other than that much of a muchness from them.

Kelly, Carroll, Lamie, Mugabi, O'Donnell, Maguire, Slattery, Donnelly, Woolery, Shields and Van Veen. Subs : Fox, Lawless, Ojala, McGinley, Amaluzor, Watt and Crawford.

One change from last week with Shields in for Watt.

Great win for Allan Campbell on his debut in a 3-0 win for Luton. Jermaine Hylton plays for Newport County as they beat Oldham Athletic who had Jacob Blyth up front. James Scott comes on as a late sub for Hull City. Chris Long on the bench for Crewe, he didn't make an appearance but fellow well player Chris Porter did.

I think Andy P is now the shirt sponsor of Liam Grimshaw.

In fairness did we not have to patch a side together that game, young Johnston in at right back with Magloire making his first start, plus I'm certain the second goal was well offside. This fixture was on the back of that 4-1 defeat against While it's usually a tough nut to crack, esph at McDiarmid Park, I feel the mid week exercisions for them in Europe will cost them when we play them, if we can repeat Sundays efforts I'm going for a 3-0 win. I think we will start the same eleven, looking forward to seeing what Ojala adds the the team.

I would assume it would be a loan as he is only a year and half into his contract, he has two years left on his deal with Hull having an option of one more year, a bit early to give up on their investment seeing he's still only 20. I've not really seen much of him since he left tbh. They really do like an ex well player down Paisley these days, trying to recreate the 2018/19 side.

Apparently the tickets were sold out. I'm just assuming lots of season ticket holders applied for their ticket obviously got them but never came along for whatever reason. Enjoyed the atmosphere all the same.

I must say the two crosses from Carroll today were lovely for the goals hopefully more of the same on that front. I'm not disputing the penalty but I thought we were unlucky on that front, O'Donnell has his hand by his side but as he swivels at the last millisecond to block the shot it looks like his arms well outstretched.

Really enjoyed the game, felt we were quite unfortunate to come away empty handed. Hibs were extremely lucky with there two goals from open play with the ball landing right to the feet to the forward. I seen the BBC mentioned Hibs hadn't conceded a headed goal in the whole of the last league season, nice to see we have added that threat to our side. They have a settled side where ours will take time to gel, I feel so much more confident than I was a week previously. The consistency of our refs in games is shocking but that's not new. Nice to see a bigger attendance getting into the stadium today, missed that.

I'm looking forward to the game today, like others have stated I actually like the fact that we will have away fans in attendance as well as it will add to the atmosphere. It'll be interesting to see if any the new boys start today, I wouldn't be surprised to see Slattery start but the game might be a tad too soon for Ojala. Boyle's pace through the middle is a worry especially up against Lamie but tbf he has coped well against him in previous encounters, just need to try and nullify his threat. A few ex players in the ranks in the shape of Murphy and Cadden. I've mentioned it in another thread but under the last four season under Robinson our start to the League campaign has been poor taking at least a few games to get any points on board, with last year being the worst, it would be most welcome to get the three points on the first day. I noticed that the subs issue has reverted back to three instead of five.
