Get McGinn on now.

No problem. 😉 

[Orinoco]

Thats bad patter throwing the ball on the park there.

[El Grew]

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

[Orinoco]

Yip thought he has been quiet.

[Richie]

FT 🙌

[Stratos]

3 Points !!!

[Orinoco]

Thank the gods. For once we got the break. Probably just edged it.

Its a start, but we can do much better.

[Yoshi-1991]

That'll do pig

[wellsince75]

I thought we were much the better team and should have buried them in first half - well taken penalty . 
 

very happy to see Priestman back - he and fadinger play well together 

[texanwellfan]

What a good feeling to get the 3 points. St Mirren defender had rush of blood to the head. Stick on PK.

St Mirren didnt really offer much and thought we were, by far, the better team. We looked a bit more composed and a big plus to see Preistman and McGinn back on the pitch. 

[El Grew]

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.

Thank god for that, well deserved. Hopefully we’ll see a different side now. 
I seen enough over the past 2 games to think we can do ok, just need to build a bit of confidence 

[Richie]

Good to see Priestman and McGinn back

[Mootherwell86]

Barry Ferguson would’ve lost that game. 
 

[Orinoco]

Special mention to Poulsen at St Mirrens last minute corner. Great clearance under pressure! Well done.

Yip they got Hodge booked for a great tackle.

That was down to the ref being a dick - guy totally hates us. 

[Big Stall]

Easily the better team, deserved to win it. A good break to get the VAR call but we were due something. Time to kick on now. Priestman was everywhere & hopefully mcginn can stiffen us up

 

Mon the fuckin well!!!

Better team by miles especially in the first half. But it looks like they don't communicate with each other on the pitch. Bit strange that.

General play has been much much better today but not taking our chances is going to kill us. 

Thats as close to last years style than we've played all season, but still a long way to go. Girdwood-Reich had a decent enough game defensively but my god he takes any pace out the game.He slows it all down when we need to keep up the pace when pressing. Hodge has started to show a bit of drive and had a good game today.  Maswanhise was piss poor, again.. We won the game in the second balls, we mopped up just about every one of then. The will to win it today was there for all to see. Good return for Priestman. Should have been far more comfortable but signs in last two  games we might just be moving in the right direction.
