The Cup Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Interesting comment made from Archie about Mukendi in that he doesn't like being a target man. I assume that he will play in Erskine's role rather than a Stevie Craig role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnyjag Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Yes hope he plays just behind Dools or Baird. Archie saying its a no brainer us taking him on loan would make you think he is a decent player. Another previously unseen trialists playing tomorrow, should be interesting .

soulful_jag Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 Archie saying its a no brainer us taking him on loan would make you think he is a decent player. He's an Academy player, and hasn't even been a regular at that level. He did do enough to earn a deal with Liverpool and progress to their U21 Academy team, but has since then had a spell on loan at League Two team in England where he started one competitive game and had 7 sub appearances in his six months. He then returned to Liverpool and featured once for their U21 team. I don't think people should be expecting an awful lot from him. He's hardly kicked a ball at a competitive level, seems an awful big jump to go from U18/U21 football to playing first team football in the SPL (so whatever it is that it's called?).

chunky jag Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 It's a fair enough assumption as they replaced Balatoni and Mukendi so it looks like it might be them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thistledave78 Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I know it's just a friendly but losing to Arbroath isn't encouraging. Its not, but when you look at players missing today along with trialists playing etc I wouldnt look too much into it. Historically I cant remember us ever doing too well in pre season games, with the exception of last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindau Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 No panicking at this stage but its becoming apparent, as it was to a lot of people, that we desperately need to splash out on a striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically I cant remember us ever doing too well in pre season games, with the exception of last year! True. I remember we had some good friendly results under Gerry Collins. I think we beat Ayr 6-0 or 6-1. I really wanted to gloat about St Mirren losing heavily to Morton and how the SPFL is pish but this takes the shine off it.

H Wragg Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 4-2 Morton Not that it's relevant on a Jags forum, but that's the first time Morton have won the Renfrewshire Cup for a few years, I think. On a Jags note, seeing as we're trying to judge where we stand after defeat to lower league opposition, hopefully it's an indication that St. Mirren are shite.

potty trained Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Not that it's relevant on a Jags forum, but that's the first time Morton have won the Renfrewshire Cup for a few years, I think. On a Jags note, seeing as we're trying to judge where we stand after defeat to lower league opposition, hopefully it's an indication that St. Mirren are shite. Going forward it could be argued the are one of the best in the league with teale, McGowan, mcginn and harkins forming a 4 across the park behind Thompson. At the back they are easily the worst in the league. They don't have a left back, van Zanten is one dimensional, McGregor will be injured after 3 games and McAusland is a bomb scare. They hAd a new keeper making his debut today and by all accounts he is hopeless. Lennon Out, already. But then again there's folk in paisley who've wanted him out since the day he arrived.
