European exploits catches up on 'tired' Saints

We asked you for your thoughts after St Mirren's League Cup exit following defeat to Dundee United on Sunday.

Here's what you had to say:

Eddie: Delighted to see Fraser Taylor and Ethan Sutherland get time on the pitch. We looked jaded after Europe, no excuses though we just don’t have a big enough squad.

We have a lot of very good players to come back from injury. I will judge us after the first block of games. I am hopeful we will be much stronger by then.

Paul: There’s been highs and lows in the last seven days and despite a very tired looking performance from Saints, we still didn’t look too far behind Dundee Utd on the day. A bigger squad or fresher legs and we’d be in the next round.

Lewis: Genuinely just think we were tired. We’ll be back (after a loss to Celtic and a routine loss to Kilmarnock). Nice to see more of Fraser Taylor. Hopefully some of the younger boys can take their chances and become regular starters…

Mikey: St Mirren were visibly tired from their European efforts, but still not much in the game with United doing just enough to progress. More effort should be made to protect the Scottish teams in Europe otherwise we will never compete as equals and improve the coefficient.

Douglas: Saints were a shambles today. Couldn't pass the ball, every ball launched into the air and apart from Olysanya and youngster Fraser Taylor, we were static. Goalkeeper Balacombe at fault for goal, seems to be a bit nervous with cross balls. A poor poor performance.
