joewarkfanclub Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 October 1989 and Yinited are wearing the strip they would wear in the Cup Final against us nearly 2 years later! That and the majority of players son show were also still involved! Changed days! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 Was looking at recent stats v st mirren, didn't realise how good they were ( only lost 2 out of last 15) hope it continues on Saturday but remember it is work in progress. I really like JB and got great belief COYW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 St mirren also re-signed Keanu Baccus. Reminds me of that Los Bravos song from the 60's (one for the older readers) Baccus Back, I want my baby back Ah'll get me coat and phone a taxi 🤪🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Dosser Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 I thought JBA was a bit downbeat during that interview, probably concerned about the lack of cover in the striker position as well as the physicality of St Mirren. It will be interesting to see if we can adapt to the challenge SM represent (and avoid any more injuries). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he was bored shitless by the repetitive nature and quality of the questions from journalists! We will be up against it physically against St Mirren, particularly at set pieces. I do wonder if he is likely to bring Ox back in and go with Balmer if Gordon doesnt make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see if we can adapt to the challenge SM represent (and avoid any more injuries). That’s because Stama, the only fit centre-forward option, appears to be a dud. Even before Sule got injured, I was stressing that a further signing in the centre-forward department was essential. One positive is that Maswanhise offers a general attacking and goalscoring threat, and perhaps Just does too, though to a lesser extent at this stage. Beyond that, our only other available options are Said and Ross. We urgently need to sign a proven striker who can deliver, so I hope JBA has a rabbit ready to pull out of the hat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression that the club are waiting for the Miller transfer to be completed to see how much cash we have to splash on more signings.

Kmcalpin Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Given that there's 3 and possibly even 4 games to come this season between the clubs, St Mirren may want to play a long game and do us as much damge as they can on Saturday. Lets hope we have a strong referee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be. Also, if we are looking to bring an EPL player in on loan - which we sometimes do - they aren't usually available until towards the end of the window.

texanwellfan Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 I think Stama will come good but we still need at least one more striker anyway. What happened to the lad from Carlisle we had on loan last season? Armstrong? Is he first choice there now or move to another club? I think he would be a decent choice playing in our team with our new approach. I’m also hoping our midfield will be encouraged to take on some shots from the 18 to 25 yard range. That coupled with TJ and Longelo I think we can spread the goals around. Wondering, how many goals are we expecting to get from our “main” goal scorer? What’s the bar to determine, by the end of the season, if we have a proven goalscorer or not? I think our highest priority for now though, is to sign a strong imposing centre back.

That's a very big assumption, who knows how much of the Miller money JBA will get for new signings? Unless hes had guarantees when he took the job. But as I said earlier I think he has targets in mind so there will be a flurry of activity when its no longer Miller time at Fir park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 Ye I have no doubt JB is looking at the Danish market for players he knows. That was how we got Just and Said. If anyone repeats this post I will say "I just said that" 🤣🤣. I would like to see us try and get Ronan Hale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
