Ayr United (H) 21st Dec

As one of the moaners, those last 5 words are exactly why i cannot accept poor displays. Some memories go back further though, and my fear about our traditional January meltdown is still to be dispelled! This isnt helped by East Fife, Ayr A, Alloa A, and QotS A, and even though we have just had the amazing quarter i wanted, there are still poor displays in there!

End of January and i hope to have my fear put to bed!

The thing is though Chick we probably played better in the Ayr away than we did there in the Ayr at home (until the sending off)

Just proves it's results that earn points, not performances.

Never a truer word hath been spoken.

Amen.

Can't disagree with any of that, all I'll say is Ayr are probably the most pleasing on the eye in the league on their day with regards slick passing moves, they can be decent in attack so if you have them turn up on form against us being passive and not getting going early then they are capable of playing you off the park

100% agree, but you're not allowed to be critical on here anymore, shhhh... 😉

That's never been the case and you know it... it's more those who do nothing but criticise or hi ott during a blip but are nowhere to be seen to give credit when it's been a fantastic year so far and on the occasion they do they say they don't want the current manager next season and well my nothing me to be said...

Still think if Clark buries his sitter then we go onto to atleast draw that day at Somerset, he hits the post and they go up and get the pen a min later

Alls well that ends well, have beaten them both times at Tannadice this year so like Alloa (who we've beat 3 out of 3 at Tannadice) the bogey is away from home.

I’m more than happy with the current state of affairs.
While very critical when we had our blip (and rightly so IMO, with Robbie playing players out of position, negative tactics, etc.), from then on, the attitude and desire have been first class, and while we are not playing as well as we did, say 6 weeks or so ago, as Terry says, we’re continuing to grind out the results (which is most important), and there is now a belief and winning mentality in the team, which is priceless!!!
We will not win every game, and we’ll not play well every game, but IMO the team have earned the right to the fan’s backing, if/when we do eventually lose a game. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen.
However, how they react to that, should it happen, will be a marker on how far we’ve progressed, from the shambles of the past few years. Let’s hope it’s as good as the last blip.

Arabest & FTD.

I’m not worried about Friday - I think we’ll scud them. Again.

I’m actually more concerned about the next game- bloody Palmerston again.
