Strategy Shift Under Stephen Robinson

Robinson has recognized the need for a return to basic tactics to restore the team’s form. As the squad prepares for an upcoming match against Livingston, fans should expect a reinforced back three and a more pragmatic approach on the pitch. Robinson emphasized the importance of simplifying their game plan: “We need to get back to absolute basics of putting balls in behind people.”

Addressing Recent Struggles

• Robinson identified that the recent tactical changes did not suit the players.
• He noted that attempts to adopt a more attacking style have led to confusion on the field.

Looking Ahead

Robinson is hopeful that by reverting to familiar strategies and focusing on fundamentals, St Mirren can recover. He remains optimistic that the season could still conclude positively despite current challenges.
