No striker goals in 2026 & Buddies 'deep in a relegation battle'

[BBC]

We asked for your views after St Mirren were beaten 4-3 by Kilmarnock in a dramatic game at Rugby Park.

Here's what some of you said:

Douglas: Absolute shocking defending for Killie's four goals. We were comfortable during the first half and then the roof caved in. We don't have forwards to score goals, the last time a striker scored was in December. Mikael Mandron just doesn't have it and shouldn't start on Saturday. Play young Jalmaro Calvin. We are deep in a relegation battle.

Dougie: Maybe Stephen Robinson could start signing a more varied type rather than players who are big and have lots of energy and running in them. It would be handy to have some players in the team who can pass the ball accurately or link up play from defence to attack. None of our strikers have scored in 2026 and it's almost Valentine's Day. Only one out of four January signings looks like helping the team during our injury crisis. I think selling Evan Mooney and loaning out Oisin Smyth and Fraser Taylor has made us weaker.

David: Five league wins from 25 games is relegation material, so we should be happy we're still as high up the table as we are. All to play for and every game is now a cup final, which we should be good at winning, right?

Douglas: As much as this was an entertaining game to watch, at half-time you had a distinct feeling there were: (a) more goals to come and (b) we most certainly were going to ship some of them!

Kilmarnock are now just three points behind us and, yes, it is going to be a scrap. Can we keep clear and survive? Probably, but we really do need to be up for the fight.
