Yeah. Work in progress. I'm confident we have the right people there, just needs a bit of time and patience

Agree

When it comes to football, these things are in very short supply with quite a few fans.

Agreed but it is the reserves and csaba has said that he wont include first team players in it. To em use it for fringe players and to build players fitness. Another one csaba's mad thoughts!

When new coaches come in at youth level it can be some time before the results of their work start to show through. It might be while before we can judge, early results like this are not something to get too negative about, although it seems that some posters feel unwell unless they can see some negativity to cling to.

What I want is the players that aren't featuring in the first team who are on the fringes to keep their match fitness ticking over. So according to our manager he is not going to do that so when these players are getting in the first team they'll be breathing oot their arses just like when we "participated" in the Legaue Cup.

My comments weren't a defence of Csaba's policy, if what your saying is correct about that. It was a defence of the new coaches who can only pick the players they're allowed to. It might explain why young guys got beat so heavily if they were playing a St Mirren lineup that included their first team fringe players when we didn't.

Of course the reserve games should be used for fringe players 90 minute fitness, returns from injury, etc etc, I completely agree.

Like I said earlier, those in & around the first team were away this week on a team bonding exercise. This was never an option for this game. It may well happen in the future.

will need to find it mate, was either online, a crazy interview or passed on at an AGM

Either way no reason not to believe it, unfortunately...

A lot of talk here but can anyone actually post what players started and who were on the bench.
