Not unexpected, the usual PR rubbish. Hardly gonna say he's all we have god help us is he?

Must say I had a snigger at one of the comments posted under the article. The one about lady's top drawers and what is kept in them.

But still, St Hilaire is in an enviable position as head coach. There's virtually no pressure on him as he only has 6 games in charge, the main brunt of the seasons problems are firmly at McNamara's door, and it's not expected that we will make the play-offs. So if we do, it's a bonus for both the club AND St Hilaire in terms of future employment and showing his worth to the incoming new coach

Well of the 6 remaining games this is the one we should and must win. The result on Sunday will give us a clue what to expect for the reamining 5 games. Team selection should be interesting. I don't suppose he will have much choice in most areas due to injuries but the fringe areas and underperformers will be the ones to look at. Best of luck for Sunday and lets hope the players turn up...

Wasn't St Hillaire in charge for the game after the England match?

No. He took care of training, but McNamara was back for the match due to it being moved to the Sunday.

I like Lee already.

St Hilaire on the players' reaction to Macca leaving: “Some aren’t bothered - they just get on with what they’ve got to do - and some are just looking forward to a new coach. It’s wrong for me to say that but that’s the reality.”

Hardly a ringing endorsement of Steve Mac is it? It'll be interesting to see if this is reflected in the way they play.

Reading that article, yes so do I. Very impressed with his candid and genuine-sounding comments. Quite a refreshing change of tone, I thought?

Whether he has been a little too candid, or maybe naîve, is maybe open to debate. But, as Anarkik indicates, he's not been afraid to make it clear that there may have been issues between some players and the head coach.
