Roofe! Hopefully that goal settles us as we've not started well

[Rousseau 10,642]

ALFREDOOOO!

 

 

[PoohBear 1,148]

Yes, brilliant Morelos!!!

[Franc Ergs 1,656]

Take a bow Allfredo . 2-0.

[Rousseau 10,642]

Short pass-back, Morelos through on goal, hits it low, sending the 'keeper the wrong way.

 

 

[CammyF 8,123]

chuffed for Alfredo - should do his confidence a world of good

Have to say 2-0 flatters us a bit but let’s see if we can add to this...

[Rousseau 10,642]

I think it's a ploy to spread St Mirren wide: Kamara and Aribo are wide, almost vacating the middle.

 

I think Davis and the CB need to use it to get balls into the feet of the front three. 

 

We've made a situational back three too, with Davis has taken up a position between the CBs. 

 

I thought that was to give some space for Helander and Goldson (Goldson seemed to be marked closely) to pass out - because it gives St Mirren's forwards another man to press. But, it also draws the midfield on to us, hopefully creating space. 

 

The danger is, a misplaced pass could see them on us. 

 

I like the situational back three, but I'd now like to see Kamara and Aribo come narrower to cover. We're two up: we don't need to risk it.

Let us just keep it exactly as it is.

[Rousseau 10,642]

We've changed it tactically, which is good to see, but we've not actually used it well: We weren't finding the front three at all. 

 

We've been clinical in taking our only two chances, both delivered with a huge slice of luck.   

 

St Mirren have nullified Goldson, Tavernier and Barisic, who are our main passers from the back. 

 

I think that's why we have changed it -- giving Davis more room in a deeper role -- which has worked OK, but we need to see the front three find some space.
