I think that peoples expectations may be pitched too high. From what I have seen with Clyde and Airdrie these are decent teams that should not be taken lightly and I am sure that they look on the likes of the relegated teams as being arrogant with players names on the the backs of their shirts and think that they have a point to make so are very much up for games from the start.
We need to match their passion as well as endeavour otherwise we will be over run from the start and use our strengths with passing and moving rather than the pumping of high balls as happened today in the first half as well as matching the oppositions efforts.
We do miss Connolly especially with his interplay with Paton and if Todd can remain fit then we cam make a bid to get to the playoffs but the jury is most certainly out on Harry Cochrane as he seems to lightweight, lacking effort and has a tendency to play square rather than penetrating balls to the forwards.

We're 3 games in, no win and can only just about compete at best.
Of course expectations are high. They should be. We're a relegated team with the intent on getting straight back up (apparently)

Look at our fellow relegated buddies Dunfermline. Top of the pile and bang on track. We're sitting 8th. It's pretty
Shambolic but we're so used to it we just become immune to disappointment and underachieving.
