    The way Safranko came out the blocks second half, he was on a brief to make something happen and very nearly did. Sadly he didnt have that extra 10 or 15 in him as he was totally knackered when he went off! Sow though is a bit of a disappointment so far and really should have scored or at least played in a colleague or 2!

    It wasn't lqck off mental strength today, that is just frustration and negativity coming out due to perception changing because County won, which we cannot do anything about

    We had a right go to try and win it and were unlucky not to score after their goal

    Title is still doable, 2nd place at worst is required though for a genuine shot in play off

    Really think we have to win this thing. The play offs give me the fear. 2nd or 3rd means little difference to me, I would hope we would win whether we play the second leg at home or away. 4th, and I don't for a minute think that will happen, would be a disaster. Assuming we end up in the play offs I genuinely think we would reach the final round and would fancy our chances against St. Mirren or Hamilton. I don't think I could cope with a derby play off because I genuinely think it could go either way but I don't want to take the chance of losing to them, so imo the only sensible option is to win the championship. Please!!!!!

    Personally I’ve always thought we need to win the title.

    Play offs are massive lottery and gamed against the championship teams.

    Tuesday matches now very important as can’t go too far behind 🤞

    Just after half time we were sitting at joint top with Ross county. Totally dismayed by their 4 goal comeback and our point drop. Today means that we need to beat ross county home and away plus win damm near every other game in the championship to claim the title. Not going to rush down to the bookies now but still reckon this is distinct possibility and one worth being excited about. Also coming 2nd vs 3rd makes a massive difference in terms of fatigue and risk of injuries due to 2 additional fixtures, before the playoff finals if we get there. Fingers crossed it wilo be hamilton would love to send them with their ****tty plastic pitch and tiny support down to the championship. They have no buisness leeching of the other clubs up there

    Disregard above rubbish. Brain fart time. You're right Shedka 2nd place at worst is required. Got totally mixed up with the play off scenarios. Shouldn't have opened that second bottle of wine!!!

    Agree about the plastic pitch but not with your views on Hamilton. What they have done with a tiny budget over the last few years is incredible and I would rather the so called 'leeches' supported their local team than went to Greyskull or Porkhead with the other sheep.

    100%

    The substition of Safranko so early in the 2nd half was mind boggling..... WTF?

    I like Robbie but some of his decisions aren't making any sense.

    Who fkn makes a like for like substition so early in the 2nd half when we were so in control of the game.

    Puzzling.

    Agree with that. I suppose if Sow had scored then we would be praising Robbie for it.
    Get the feeling as he tried so hard to get Sow in he has to justify getting him into the team and up to speed asap. Won't be cheap his wages either.
