Would be nice to see him follow the same path as Andy Robertson

They got 3 mins to get it done, right? 11pm in england

I hope Long gets better quick cause apparently we are not bringing in anyone to play thru the middle.

So who is Rolando. I have no clue.

Still all speculation and only about 8 hours to go. I may have to just not look again and wait to see the team line up tomorrow.

Ideal of course is they loan him back for the rest of the season. Works for me

When does window close? Jan 31st midnight?? edit: ok I googled it

When do we expect to have Long back playing ?

Certainly a tough game in store for us but another chance to give us added breathing space over our closest rivals. Let’s hope we can keep the good performances rolling along

What selections were wrong?

On the other side though 2 clean sheets in a row against top 6 sides. Not bad at all and here’s hoping we make it 3 in a row next week at Livingston.

I was a bit worried about today after all the effort expended at Aberdeen but well done to the players for maintaining the energy level and dominating possession. Missing 2 of our starting forwards today so perhaps not surprising we failed to score, especially against opposition whose main focus was to stop us scoring. Hoping we get back to full strength as quick as possible for our remaining games.

While there is a long way to go we should be aiming to go into the split with 4th place minimum guaranteed or very close to it. It’s unlikely that any of our competitors are going to get 15 points post split more like a max of 9 points. We are already 10 and 12 points ahead of Livingston and Hibs so it’s a reasonable target to aim for. Having said that we do have to keep our feet on the ground and just take each game one at a time, focus and apply on that game before thinking about next game. COYW!! 10 games to go and if we can muster equal amount of points that Hibs and Livi get them we are there

Gallagher has one scary moment which hopefully turns out to be a good reminder to him not to be too casual. Hartley seems to be improving with distribution and less aimless punts up the park. Thought Donnelly has a good game but had he caught that guy it would have been a straight red instead of a yellow. Scott has a ton of skill but needs to add end product, whether that’s a goal or a dangerous ball into the box. McIver needs to be a bit quicker and more aggressive in the box which will come with more game time I’m sure. MoM for me was Campbell, just his usual self showing for the ball, solid tackling, always supporting. I think this is his best season so far.

And of course a chance to put Livingston in their place next week !

We moved another point ahead of killie, Livingston gained 2 points on us but I am more concerned about Hibs and obviously the did not gain anything on us. So........ c’mon St Mirren !

Especially with 2 of them being a against Aberdeen and Hibs.

I’m not sure about Scott and illic where they are. Think I’d rather see them switch to normal side.

Only thing missing is a goal or two

Also doubling up on Scott so we need to move the ball quickly to take advantage of any space they are leaving. We are on top but need to get a goal or two to reflect our play

Polworth getting caught on the ball quite a bit so far

Possibly

So 4-4-2 at home Scott and illic up front? Or 4-3-3 with Donnelly Campbell and Polworth midfield and Scott, Manzinga and Illic? Or does Seedorf start? Of course the formation can change during the game but not sure how we will start. I’m thinking since Long is out he may start 4-4-2 to include O’Hara and keep the game tight and move to a 4-3-3 if we go behind

Any news on Long? Late fitness test? What formation do we start with?

Felt good the other week when we done it. I could handle that again.
