Tuffey mom so far. He is keeping us in this. It seems like everyone Is scared to shoot, they keep passing the ball to each other in the final third with no real chances or shots being created. Certainly look low in confidence while Ayr are up for this one.

Hayes off with injury it seems

Just came close but it's been all Ayr so far.

With Aldred out does that leave room for anyone else to come in before the window shuts?

I would agree with this. I would also bet he thought he would be getting regular football when he signed with us. Why else would you go on loan to a smaller team. If he wasnt going to get a game, which he wasn't, he had no option but to go back.

I was rather surprised when County managed to turn it round from 1 down last night but i'm glad they did. If we beat Ayr tonight then i'd rather be playing the easier teams in the next round and right now Ross County are one of the easiest teams still in the competition.

It is not inconcievable that Tom wanted the game to give himself more match time. Maybe the coaching team felt he'd be a good leader for the lads. Not everything has a sinister reason. I would say now that this quite possibly did have a sinister reason.

I'm not surprised, i thought he wouldn't be too happy being the only first team member playing against Halkirk. Also being dropped to last choice defender must have annoyed him a little considering he hasn't made as many errors as some players in the squad. He was only here until January anyway, I'm not keen on 6 month deals that end in January, if he became a regular everything would become unsettled again by the time he leaves. Having a player brought in from Jan til the summer is far more effective IMO, It will also enchance the chance of signing the player up permanently after his loan spell.

I bet Aldred is loving this. Coming from Watford to play with a bunch of kids against WHO?

We haven't even won with our best 11 this season, this isn't the time to be going easy. We'll be lucky if we can even beat Ayr at the moment.

What is the point in changing the entire team to struggle at the bottom of the league waiting on them to gel. Last season we had a team capable of achieving top 6. We may get going but by then it'll be too late and everyone will be out of contract again come the summer.

We are the only team to score against the pars this season. 3 goals as well! So we can score we just havent been good enough. They are in 3rd and we are in 12th. A bit of luck and we could get off the bottom. It's not looking good so far though.

That's clutching at straws. Anyone else feel we are the worst team in the spl yet? Not panicking yet because i had a feeling we'd lose today but I at least thought we'd have won a game by now. St Johnstone is going to be a massive game for us now.

Yeovil are League One and Lincoln play in the Blue Square Non-League.

I've lived in Paisley for around 4 years now and i rarely see any St Mirren fans, I certainly don't know any. Most people around here support the Old Firm and its the same where ever you are in Scotland.

Well thanks for making sure i double check, I checked the BBC website before and it was stated as being on a Wednesday night, didn't have a clue about Ayr playing their games at Cappielow though, even better for me.

At the moment we have to be favourites for the drop but i would say it will be between 4 or 5 teams this season and will be even closer than last year for all the bottom 6 positions. Hibernian, Dunfermline, St Mirren, St Johnstone, Inverness will all struggle this season i think. Kilmarnock and Aberdeen will battle for the top 6 and 7th places.

Why has this been placed in General Nonsense? I don't agree this topic is along the same lines as Word Association. Surely it merits a place in Serious Topics. This IMO would be worth a visit.

I agree, living in Paisley means whenever I want to go to a local match for the old firm I need to buy my tickets through the phone in inverness. They then add an extra ?2.50 onto what is already a huge price. That is very frustrating. ?20 for a child in our away end? That's even more ridiculous! I got into east end park for ?10 on Saturday. A very reasonable price for a concession.

I think you might be correct
