i agree with the original post in parts.

we have stopped the rot after last weeks shocking performance and a 0-0 draw away to 3rd place team isn't a bad result all things considered. losing Fyvie and Fraser has put us out of our stride

however we do need to get back on track quickly. the whole reason we finished 3rd last year was that after the new year our form plummeted. if we can get back to winning ways soon then the title isn't over (no matter what chick young and the rest of the sportsound "experts" think) st mirren arent celtic, they will drop points but united need to get the sort of consistency we had when CL came in. this means performances (mainly away form) improving, signings stepping up.

the main thing is not to throw the towel in so early! still plenty to play for but needing united to step up!
