Thelin in P & J saying he has full backing of board and chairman.

Thelin may say that but it’s not from Cormack himself. I would be very surprised if Cormack isn’t considering things. It’s now been almost a year of relegation form, which is much more time than any previous manager has had. If it was mid table form with flashes of improvement then I could see the argument for a bit of patience but I’ve lost faith at this point. Thelin will get the midweek game against Killie, but lose that and I can see some real pressure for his dismissal starting to mount.

Hate to say it, and I know they haven’t been great so far this season, but Stephen Robinson is looking more and more appealing to me.

Why ruin a really well written, balanced post, with this frightener? I dunno if it's different in Orlando, but Halloween isn't for another four days here.

Stephen Robinson would be an awful choice. It would be us getting spooked, abandoning everything the club apparently identified in this review they did two years ago, and just hoping Robinson can have the same impact McInnes as had at Hearts without any forward thinking.

Like I said in the Hibs match thread - if Thelin is deemed not to be the man to continue it, then you search for someone who can. 

Stephen Robinson is Jim Goodwin all over again. He does not fit the model. The players we have don't fit his style of football. I'm also not sure what is appealing about him at the moment anyway. St Mirren have won just two of nine league games this season. Getting to the cup semi has masked a poor season (not unheard of).
