    We need two more wins then the two seasons' points totals will be the same, three wins or two and a draw and it's more - less than that and the points total is less. Then Of course the argument is that we had easier games this season in the bottom six. 42 points and a top six finish has to be better thn 42 points and a bottom six finish surely? However the counter to that argument is St. Mirren and Killie were also top six in 2023 /24 whilst Aberdeen and Hibs both had poor seasons. And so it goes on, Falkirk had an unusually strong season this season, Aberdeen p1sh again etc. The DAB thing just isn't even a thing for me, 12 teams in the division both seasons including Ross County in 2023/24 who have always seemed to have some kind of Indian sign over us..

    In short you can't really compare. Docherty did well that season, Pressley has done well enough this season given the close season shambles. Next season is a new start, let's hope Pressley can kick on a bit. Always assuming our eternally unpredictable CEO doesn't punt him of course.
    Take your points but I respectfully disagree 😆......I've read a lot on various sites over the last few days and getting fairly ***** seek of stick Elvis getting from a sizeable minority.

    From guys saying they would rather be championship than btm 4, should be secure earlier ....if we don't get the one place available in top 6 we are never gonna be secure earlier.

    Just for me.....what does kicking on next season looks like?

    7th or 8th if we don't get 8th, top 6?

    I don't think you can measure progress by such fine margins

    Curious

    On the other hand the CLUB can kick on hugely.....but wont

    Kicking on is seeing better football and being secure from relegation threat much earlier. Progress is simple - incremental improvement - doesn't have to be measured by places higher in the league or an amount more points, too many external variables impinging on those, just visible improvement in the performances on the pitch. A lot of this season, especially early on, performances were awful - get rid of that aspect and there's an improvement straight off the bat.
