'Reassuring' eight-goal display 'cause for optimism'
We asked for your views after Stephen Robinson's St Mirren put eight past lower-league Annan in the Premier Sports Cup. Here's what some of you said: Eddie: Great result! We are starting look more like the team the manager knows. Douglas: Fraser Taylor, why not start off by saying that was a great sitting midfield performance? Not on the scoresheet, but controlled, prodded and sprayed great passes throughout the afternoon. We puffed a little after taking a three-goal lead after nine minutes, but eventually we managed to find the net later in the game to reflect our dominance. Richard King also put in a polished first performance and the management team must be happy with his control. There will be greater examinations as the season progresses, but good to see the goals go in and raise the confidence. Wallace: Enjoyed ever minute of it. Gabe: A reassuring performance after the two previous lacklustre games. It's slightly disconcerting that we conceded two goals, but overall this result is a cause for optimism. John: For a great deal of that game it was a turgid affair. It was a lightning start and we looked on easy street. For the last 20-odd minutes of the first half Annan outplayed us. They were the better side at that point - 8-2 definitely flattered us and I think tiredness in the Annan team played its part at the end. After they scored to make it 3-2 they had a spring in their step, but it petered out. I have now seen both keepers in action and I am not overly confident in either. Still, we won comfortably in the end and have a chance of progressing.

Richard King trains with new teammates but St Mirren debut has been put on ice
The highly rated defender landed in Scotland last week, and Stephen Robinson confirmed that the 23-year-old has still not had a break from football due to international duty. Stephen Robinson excited to be working with someone as much potnetial as Richard King but insists he needs to be managed properly. King landed in Scotland on Monday after being on international duty with Jamaica in the United States in the Concacaf Gold Cup. St Mirren battled off a host of other teams for the highly-rated defender's signature, and got him locked down on a two-year deal after signing him from Cavalier FC of the Jamaican Premier League. But the Buddies boss has called on fans to be patient with the new signing, explaining that the 23-year-old hasn't had a break. It is unlikely the defender will make his debut at the weekend in Saints' first Premier Sports Cup game against Arbroath at Gayfield, with Robinson looking to keep the Jamaican waiting a bit longer before he gets any action. He said: 'We got Richard training on Monday but he's not had a break. 'He's played international football constantly last month and club football the rest of the year, so it's important we manage him properly. 'He'll train properly on Friday but probably won't be involved on Saturday. 'It's a completely different style of football and it'll probably take him a bit of time. 'The pace of the Jamaican league to the Scottish one is going to be very different in terms of pace and style. 'We need to make sure he doesn't get injured, but we believe he's got a lot of potential.'
