Let the meltdowns begin! Then take your pick...

Miller isn't going to start every game. If you want our youngsters to develop then their game time needs to be managed, even if they are fully fit. Plus, of course, none of us know any details about who is injured and who isn't. SK knows Robinson's side is going to try and muscle us off the park, so we need a some size in the midfield, at least for the first 45 mins or so. I guess SK's unbeaten away record isn't sufficient to avoid criticism before this match even kicks off.

Or Dundee Utd to team back up with his old Livi buddy.

"I'm not technically savvy" says grandpa as he posts another covid conspiracy theory on facebook while complaining about immigrants in his whatsApp group.

If that's the case then we need to get people educated on the convenience of e-tickets instead of queuing up on matchday. Assuming you can buy them on matchday of course.

It's a bit of a lottery when it comes to League Cup games, but often there is no (legal) option. I didn't see anything listed on St Mirren TV either. Fingers crossed though.

According to SK:

I've been lots of places where you pay at the gate and they give you back a ticket stub with your seat number on it. (Or you just label a small section of seats PATG). A nicer solution would be buying online and having an e-ticket delivered to your phone; that should take care of most people and massively reduce the number of people that end up buying on the day from the ticket office.

Of course we are, but every time a youngster leaves we hear "we didn't do enough to keep him" trotted out. Now, when we're telling them how good they are we're getting "touting him already" trotted out. We just need "why didn't we get him to sign a new contract" for the full set.

Alternate take: we are showing him how valued he is and encouraging him to stay with us.

Doesn't need to be fancy. In the US at least you can get something the like the Square Reader which lets you read chip and pin, and if necessary, even magnetic stripes. I'm sure if this isn't available in the UK there will be an equivalent.

SK talking this week about still needing to move some out to get some in, so I suppose it all depends on who we can offload.

At least he's typically useless for both sides.

Of course it will be a tough cup tie, but we've nothing to fear here. We have a much better record than St Mirren since SK took over. In fact, despite the media praise being heaped on them, after we beat them under SK in Feb last year they only won 3 more games that season. Robinson will no doubt have them amped up for this, but I think we can edge this one.

If they start calling that a foul we might as well stop playing the game.

Leverage. not so much. A useful pay-off, sometimes. You typically only lose a manager when he's doing really well or doing really badly. So the best we can hope for is the former.

Or as Gary Lineker used to say about goal scoring - "it's not about being in the right place at the right time, it's about being in the right place all the time".

After a late Mandron equaliser and a controversial O'Hara pen with Robinson getting SK sent off after a fight on the touchline before all the trains get cancelled and unexpected roadworks means everyone is stuck in Paisley before Fir Park collapses down a sinkhole and we have to groundshare with Airdire. Or 2 - 0 to us.

I was discussing exactly that yesterday. From what I've seen so far, Wilkinson looks like a finisher. He got into two great positions yesterday, messed one up and slotted away the other very nicely. To use a well worn cliché, it's about taking risks in the box.

Mika - the Danish Crawford Baptie.

Picking up 4 points, including the important first league win, while still having plenty of room for improvement isn't the worst situation to be in.

While not MOTM, Wilkinson's finish was very good too. He took one touch too many for an earlier miss, but didn't mess about with his goal.

I don't think it's any coincidence that since SK took charge a lot of our opponents have looked poor. We've found a shape that restricts most teams we've encountered.

While Wenger is no longer in charge at Arsenal, Biereth is very much in his mould of big, athletic players that he developed over the years.

I'm expecting at least 3 journos to nick it.
