I echo these comments.

Don't start those 3 again, pick 2 of the 3! Never all 3!!
Knowles deserves a start in a 2 up top.
Rúben da Rocha Rodrigues has obvious quality, clear potential to significantly improve and become more consistent. Good signing.

It doesn't need wholesale changes and going all gung-ho with excessive attacking flair and a soft middle but it needs changing up, rotating, and striving more for the right balance. There are a couple of obvious changes that should happen, which shouldn't impact the solid base and impressive defensive record which is as important.

Great win, four first 70 mins against a parked buss in front of a brick wall. Needed more attacking formation which Ardley actually recognised and must be congratulated for positive subs. Enzio at his best , Knowles has to start and Rodriguez is class, sublime for second goal. Feeling more positive now. Oh and Dennis scored for St.Mirren too

For about 77 minutes that was simply appalling, but then three it’s of quality won us the game: the great shot from DKE that brought us to life; the turn and run from Enzio; and the team play for the second goal.

It’s the same old problem, though - turgid midfield. JOB is painful to watch (game passes him by); Reeves was an accident waiting to happen again; and Doyle spent most of the time passing sideways or backwards.

If NA still doesn’t trust Wolfe enough to give him a game, send him back to Barnsley now and bring in another central midfielder - because the three who were out there tonight should never be selected together again.

Doyle was the pick of the bunch for me, he was driving us forward, I felt we could have removed Reeves, put JOB in the middle and we'd look a bit more on it as Reeves was a walking red card. Would like to see Wolfe play, it seems that's not going to happen though

Many things I read on here baffle me but the stick Doyle gets is just ridiculous. He covers every blade of grass, rarely gives the ball away and carried that midfield again tonight. And the comments that he only passes backwards are simply bollox.
Reeves was simply awful.

Doyle had a decent game tonight, Reeves had a shocker and I forgot O'Brien was playing! Agree with all the comments about only ever playing 2 of the 3.

From what I've seen this season, O'Brien looks well past his use by date but Doyle's holding his own.

I've generally been impressed with Reeves as well and despite this evening, think he's been a good signing.

He has a decent amount of speed about him too.

He should be given a crack.
