'We need something to turn this around quickly, McLeish isn't the guy to do it'

[BBC]

St Mirren fans, we asked for your views on the 3-0 loss to Kilmarnock that leaves you four adrift in 11th place. Here's a taste of what you had to say...

William: Stephen Robinson was under contract and should have remained until season end. We needed an experienced manager for the final few games but this foolish board could only see a fee. Now look at the desperate situation we are in. Once again we are the nursery club for Aberdeen. Craig McLeish cannot be the manager next season. A good man has to come in (it's a prestige job in Paisley), along with some quality players.

George: No fight, no tactics and the usual lack of threat up front. Heading for play-offs with low confidence. How did we get here from winning the League Cup?

Stu: Pathetic. To serve that up to your fans in such a critical game... just pathetic. Four games to save our season because we're definitely in the play-offs. The manager is out of his depth, playing players out of position, tinkering with a style that players clearly haven't bought into. How can it fall apart so quickly?

Ask Jack Ross to take charge for four games. We need something to turn this around quickly and McLeish isn't the guy to do it. I'm lost for words after that.

William: The Chairman, the board, and the players have to take the blame. The Chairman and board for not bringing in a manager and giving the job to the youth team coach. The manager for picking players who are just not good enough, and/or not putting in a shift. There were at least three or four playing on Saturday that should not have a place in the squad for the play-offs.

Colin: Dreadful. McLeish a big part of the blame for this one. Playing Mark O'Hara at wing back with Jayden Richardson on the bench? Playing one up front in a must win game? Some players downed tools, not up for the fight. Relegation incoming.

John: McLeish is clearly out of his depth. However, the ultimate responsibility for this shambles lies with the ex-manager (I don't ever want him in our hall of fame) and a board who allowed themselves to be deluded by a League Cup win and a 'big league' director of recruitment who has taken our money and delivered nothing.

This club has thrown away its best opportunity to move forward in a generation. We will be in the play-offs, and thanks to a group of players who are hiding or looking to their agent to provide another payday, will be playing Championship football for the foreseeable future. Collectively, they should be ashamed.
