Keanu Baccus

Put a few balls forward to the striker creating chances. Also copped a pretty cynical foul in the 81st minute that the Motherwell defender got sent off for.

I didn't watch the game but do you believe he's well suited to the SPL?

Highlights of his first game here:

Around the 40 second mark is where you see him delivering a beautiful pass to Jonah Ayunga. Around 4:05 mark is the horrendous tackle he received from Rickie Lamie.

The bit after 50 odd seconds will make him fee at home, plays a fantastic ball, big lump up front puts into the stand..

Rhyan Grant would be embarrassed by that tackle. He wouldn't get red carded for it though.

Grant would get a letter of apology from the league

Looks like the St.Mirren fans are loving him which is great news:

Yea to be honest he is he did really well.  He got St Mirren going forward more often than not.

That tackle would have been a "Welcome to Scotland". The defenders probably had instructions to "watch number 17".

‘‘There’s more still to come from Keanu. He tired in the last 10 minutes but no wonder with the amount of running that he does, even in training,’’ Robinson said.

Congrats to Baccus on his first win with St Mirren. His mazing run was a big contributor to the goal they scored. Looking very pivotal to that midfield for squad most likely to be mid table in the SPL. At 36 seconds he makes a good run that should of ended with at least him testing the keeper. His contribution to the goal is at 1:00.

Baccus from his first few games at St Mirren. Making a mention of his time with us, but mostly on his own goal to make the national team. I think he is still bit behind in the pecking order to make the squad.

Should have had two, he missed an absolute sitter at the end of the game.

That's not normal.

He would have got if Gillett refereed his game!

[BoyFromTheWest]

I was chatting to a mate who lives in Macarthur and is a fan there (sad really!!). He was talking about Baccus but assumed they had the 'good one' and I had to gently disabuse him of this unfortunate hope, explaining they had the decent but psychologically challenged one who had never really reached there potential he promised early on. Had to tell him the good one went you Scotland. He's Scottish (Rangers fan) and realised the sad truth for Bulls.

[Sithslayer1991]

Its been a fantastic month for Baccus. He is going beyond the peak level he had with Babbel, which means he has a decent midfielder next to him and proper structure to follow in the team that uses his skills to its fullest. Having Ryan Strain there as well helps being o/s. Its all about consistency now, but he has done very well in his first month in Scotland.

[StringerBellend]

Shows the A League isn't as **** as people make out. Ryan strain is doing very well over there. Decent player but hardly a star in the A League 

[MartinTyler]

If ever there was an 'A' League player who had done his time and needed to advance his game by moving overseas it was Baccus. The robust nature of the SPL suits his game and hopefully he kicks on.

Depends on what those people are comparing A League with

True the 2 biggest difference between SPL and A-league is the amount of games played and relegation. That comes with added pressure and intensity. The standard outside of the big two isn't far off A-league teams.

Yep, it's the right time for him to move, too many go too early and end up coming back after struggling to get on the bench in the Belgium third division. Parklea Messi has gone at a point where he's matured enough to hold down a first team spot in a decent league.

[ItchyNek]

Looks like a good bunch of active fans as well, prob reminds him of the RBB

Well done lad for your first senior national team call up.

Congrats to Baccus on his first call up to the national team. I guess he wasn't that far off. His performances at St Mirren have warranted a look. Strain also got a call up
