Positivity Attempt

[shedka]

So adds to the freak result theory.. guess the next three games this month will tell us a lot

[TangerineDream]

The positive is that was nothing like the team that had gone on the good run prior to Paisley, big changes from the personnel and positions, that team was good enough to win this league

Unfortunately we can't field that team anymore and are stuck without the huge void Fyvie and Fraser will leave for the remaining games

What we can do is go back to the defence that has worked for us when Murdoch is back instead of that random mess we played in Falkirk

Murdoch Durnan Scobbie Robson is more than adequate for the remaining games fitness permitting

Stanton and Flood have shown they are good enough as a duo in the wins over Dumbarton away and St Mirren at home

The new signings will all improve in most ways I would imagine

We still have time to get one or two more in aswell


The thing is, we have won or last 5 home games in the league, three of the next four are away (not including Alloa in cup) and aren't easy, we have to try and grind out a couple wins and win the home game with Morton

If the gap is any more than 6 by the time we play them in March then 2nd it will be

Lose this Saturday though and we give those behind us confidence that they can catch us

This is an excellent summary.

Whilst trying to remain positive I have concerns for Saturday. Think we will be much better, with numerous lessons learned hopefully. A loss and it will be meltdown , a win and we kick on again . ***** , ***** match. The most important yet.

Do you think we're not handling the pressure very well?
I must admit I wouldn't want to be running out every Saturday with the sword of Damocles hanging over my head.
We are EXPECTED to go up this year thro automatic promotion, play-offs being no use.
That's a fair weight on the mind given the potential disaster of non-promotion.
To paraphrase, the players are sh!ting themselves.

It must be a pressure pot situation. We are the only Club in the division where automatic promotion this season is a must; an expectation. The prospect of going a goal down in each game would be sufficient to provoke a loose movement. Maybe this explains their slowness, lack of, off the ball movement. With internal muscles focused on prevention, the slightest, sudden movement could trigger a very unfortunate and highly embarrassing event. Some players may even want subbied so they can go to the toilet? Perhaps we should reconsider Gavin Gunning's 'picking the ball up' with more understanding?

We need a hard man midfielder as Willo is too slow for that now, even though he still can do a job. Someone to boss and protect back 4 - not sure slater is that type of player? Our midfield is too soft and has been for a while. As for pressure. Its more like responsibility thats the issue. Going gets tough they get to phuck. A hard midfielder would help imo.

I see Falkirk got humped tonight.
Oh dear!

Think that result says more about you guys than them.

ICT hitting form.
Bet you guys are glad you don't have to play them.
Would have been a potential banana skin.
