    Toughing it out at the Top

    A point today has at least kept us at the top of the league which is a big thing

    To win a league you have to win a lot of matches and our record against the part timers whilst in the championship has been poor.

    However it’s the matches against the top sides which are the most important - the 6 pointers

    I don’t think the top 4 will change. It’s us, Saints, Livi and Dunfermline.

    We need to try and get ahead of this lot (no play offs please) and to do that we need to beat them in matches against them

    Disappointing today but it’s Livi playing Saints on Tuesday and then we have to beat Dunfermline at home on Saturday.

    The trip to paisley over Christmas is already looking massive.

    Important to try and stay top to then

    Come on United!!!

    I read a post last week saying we would skoosh the league now but i never believed that,as i have had posted a few times now on various thread's the players need to have a good look in the mirror.How can they fail so badly for McKinnon then up their game for his NO 2?.
    Anyone thinking all our problem's are solved with a managerial change are living in dream land,there are still too many players at this club who are saft as shyte both mentally and physically and its gonna take more than cancelling their Wednesday off to cure the problem.

    ^^^ This. Some of the posts last week after a victory over a sh1t Falkirk team were premature to say the least.

    We are only top on borrowed time. Livi win they go top any other result and Midden go top either outright by two points or on goal difference we need a postponement to remain top. Still good news is the top team keeps losing points.

    Like Nelson at Trafalgar, Gunboat fires off an accurate broadside. Such, short, sharp, target hitting fusillades are usually associated with Middle Eastern Sanitary Technician.

    That's what I thought of right away, pure fantasy stuff to think we will suddenly win this league comfortably
