Mistakes are creeping in, we are missing badly Holt, Graham and Luca, and some pondering through injuries, some know they are leaving
Didn't want them in the top 6 as couldn't see us winning 5/5, probably only Celtic have done that to a Stephen Robinson side
The fixtures didn't fall kindly and I said focus securing top 5 when I saw the way they had landed, a worst case was them going above us today but can see them beating Hibs midweek and doing just that, only bonus is they are at Celtic on Saturday but we'll need to muster one last back to basics performance to get anything from the sheep, 6th looking likely now
We'd definitely have been in the running for 3rd had we came out of January with the same squad and having not lost Luca early, plus the Dalby goal against Hibs (5th would already be secure) but too many little things have gone the other way
