St Mirren home

For the first 20/25mins last night, there was nothing to separate the teams. They probably had the "territory" without having any real chances on our goal. The best chance of the game came from Powers.
Then they score the typical poor set-piece goal that we seem to concede. I was still confident that we could get back into the game as we weren't playing that bad and it was very even game.
Then John Beaton took over! Let's face it he got conned for the first one. The softest Penalty you will ever see. Then he gives an equally soft one a few minutes later (Although I can see why that one was at least given). It reminded me of the Cammy Bell game v Dunfermline. Guess who the ref was for that game?! you guessed it BEATON! It totally ruined the game. An even game then looked like a doing and out of reach.

MM then decides to make the completely wrong subby by taking off the only player who was able to keep the ball and throw on a young boy who's hardly played (not his fault). Yeah we got some reaction at the start of the 2nd half but we were never going to be able to sustain it. Harkes scored a good goal (which is frustrating as it shows he can do it) but the game petered out. Got hit on the counter which makes it look like a real doing. By the end I don't think anyone knew what they were doing. Shambles.

Notes
1. We really need to get a grip with our set pieces For and Against.
2. Beaton ruined the game but MM's tactics/subbies didn't help. (442 only works with certain players in that shape)
3. Nicky Clark is not a centre midfielder. Need Butcher and Fuchs back.
4. Robson has been terrible for a few weeks.
5. We are in a Dogfight.

It might be good in the long run as it SHOULD! refocus us similar to the killie/rangers games earlier in the season but we all know he will just shut up shop and play for draws again.

Said it for months we are in a relegation dog fight. Same head in the sand mob who dont watch the games thought i was talking ****e and we were 6th how could it be possible! This Manager simply has to go IMO. Even if he does stick around and gets more time out of it im expected to pay 25 quid to sit and watch the most disgusting football I've ever seen us play. Theres so many things wrong at the minute. He is creating a bit of a mess on the playing side of things. Last night Paul Mcmullen could quite easily have started or come on at half time. Our only player capable of running at defenders and getting us up the park is let go. Madness. Theres so much more wrong i can't even be bothered listing. Its like watching a car crash happen in slow motion all over again.

With the exception of maybe Connolly and Benji every player is a worse version of himself since Mellon took over.

2 year deal for Clark and Harkes🤣 the invisible men running our midfield, worrying. We need some signings this window or we are down.

ffs.

ffs.

Its a safe bet that Jim Jams latest effort will not garner the same numbers as the virus thread.
