Had a look at St Mirrens results over the few years Goodwin was in charge.Took the occasional pasting off the Infirm,but also gave good accounts of themselves against them at other times,with a win or 2 thrown in.Most games against the rest of the teams were pretty close affairs St Mirren 2020-21 Fixtures and Results - Football - Sports Mole Not arguing he got things wrong on Saturday,but should we allow that, due to the pace and volume of player turnover this season,that aspects of player suitability to how we wanted to set up,were overlooked as a result? Dont dislike Stewart,..or Scales,but as a pairing,there seems to be a lack of McKenna/Taylor type presence there,.....and Richardson,a seeming lost cause at R/B,which going by the speculation,Goodwin seems to have acknowledged. Lot of things still to sort out,including midfield(Clarkson,good on his day,but beginning to look a bit of a luxury),hence why I was prepared to write off this season.Think he'll get there in time,...if he's given the time

Aye.was also with Lembas,Vital veg down the road have stopped too. Had a nosey at Replenish shop a while back. Will enquire,cheers

Didn't watch the second half. Glad I didn't. Changing subject - Far yi getting your veg box fae these days,if any?

We've been garbage

Hardly been in it,but Duks tenacity gets us ahead

Expectations are low,though were more than capable of a result.Playing down there might suit us more, as it did with Glass.Looking forward to it I think.

A mild thrashing tonight would do. Enough to be embarassing but not for GVB to lose his job...yet An early goal for us and the heads potentially go,crowd turn etc.

Glad to get that out the way,a long 6 minutes at the end. Into third impressively,next week could be interesting,should be able to move the ball about better. If Hayes is back even better

Against the run of play but nice one Dukie

I'll take the 1 - O but that's been a tough watch. Could go either way.

Game on Hesgoals if looking

Time for Richardson to convince us he's not a ponce. There's a player there somewhere though reckon laziness is an issue. COYR quick pace.early goal(s)

Not the worst time to play 'Well,but we said that v Utd. Think I would leave Duk and Miovski to develop their pairing. Might not be the best fixture for Clarkson,but if we can get the ball moving quickly and cause them early problems may be fine. Otherwise Duncan might be worth a shout in there. Cautious optimism Well 1 - Dons 3 Duk,Clarkson,McRorie

Duncan - quality finish

Bojan off - Ramirez on

OG fest - 3nil

Ill take it 2 - 0 OG

Goallll - Duk Minute later - boy should have been off there

Sound out of Sync with play.Sounds like Johnny Hewitt co-commenting. Decent Jags support up

Think Coulsons wife was expecting a baby,but should be back tomorrow?.Think Hayes trained today

Like us to continue with the 3-5-2 and see how it goes.Sounds like Goodwin may continue with it too.Tough game,will take a scrappy 1 - 0 at this stage In or Oot - Will decide imorn,dont do many midweek games Mainer if in Prediction - 2 - 1 Miovski,Hayes

Thought Hearts were pretty ordinary,but created a few chances in the first half due to slack play from us,Roos had a few excellent saves to keep them out. Much improved second half,lifted the tempo and moved the ball about better.Duk was excellent,often creating something out of nothing,and his persistence paid off with the goal,and carrying on with cramp to assist the second. Think we can play a lot better too,as I thought Barron,Clarkson and Ramadani were pretty quiet for large spells.Top Dons, Stewart and Scales(dodgy passes apart),Roos and Duk.Thought Miovski was ok.McKenzie looks a bit heavy/cumbersome at times,but improved in the second half. 5 - 0 defeat at Fir park next week to settle us down

Aye hardly a classic.,Hearts with the better chances.Missing Hayes directness. Duks been pretty good with the scraps he's had,too many players having a quiet game. Need to pick it up 2nd half

Interesting. Sore one Hayes and Coulson out,and Richardson still in. Could be a good one/nightmare. COYR
