But we'll take it
Felt we were comfortable for much of the match, kept them at arms length, and we obviously had the best scoring opportunities to win the match?.teams like St Mirren flatter ti deceive a bit for me, decent to watch but zero cutting edge, whilst we have a striker who looks like he will score everytime he touches it?..Quote:

Agree with all of that. I've long since given up on looking into match statistics or at least taking them seriously to any great degree. The number of times that a team with only 30/40% possession or only a fraction of shots on and off target compared to the opposition wins the game is really quite high. United have gained top six with such stats for most of the season; more games with stats like yesterday (combined with a win) would have suited us fine. Quite simply it's what you do with the ball when you have it, not how long you have it and get precisely nowhere. The shots stats are even more bizarre. A shot on target can be a gentle trundler, little more than a pass to the keeper, 100% never likely to score, but a great shot with keeper beaten just missing the target is it course a shot off target. More bizarrely this latter shot counts as a shot off target exactly the same as one that goes over the stand or hits the corner flag. And as for most of the more recently added forms of stats (tackles, distribution etc.) who cares. Only one stat matters at the end of the dayQuote:

Barring some sort of calamity where st j get 4 wins from last 7 games I think they are away.
Don't think st m will finish 11th but anyone of us, Killie, county and mwell cud.
We probably do get edgier than the players. I find it difficult watching wave after wave of attack by opposition resulting in Dundee players launching the ball up the park or out for a throw and basically giving it right back to the opposition to build another attack. And that's regardless of how poor those attacks are. Invite teams on and they will normally end up scoring.Quote:

Surprisingly st j not going without a fight
More like Celtic having a season's worst 'mare. Certainly a bit of a nightmare result for us if they turn over the DABs next week and we get nothing at Easter Road.Quote:

I am concerned that the greater Glasgow area clubs namely Kilmarnock, St Mirren and or Motherwell will work a cartel system to keep them all up at our expense.
This previously happened in the 1975-76 season when we were relegated as a result of Ayr United winning against the odds at Parkhead
