    This is so true. Great examples of this down south are Fulham last season and Sheffield United this...

The only problem is that they have mostly been against teams we should probably be putting away. I expected that the derby games & away to places like Inverness & Dunfermline would be our hardest matches.Hopefully this current run of form will be as bad as it gets & with players back from injury we will push on again & get the job done.

    Good Post

    We didn't win it in 1960,1996, 2017,2018 or 2019

    Dominated the league this time with a huge win percentage that's only just tailed off, we had no draws all season in league until Christmas, now have three but the manager will never catch a break with some fans tbh

    If our worst form of the season is this at 2 wins 3 draws 1 loss then excellent, hopefully it is.

    Bear in mind we are 18 points clear at the top. We all make mistakes, but statistics say he is getting more right than wrong. I think the difference between success and failure in this league is small, and injuries just now have made that gap smaller. We all knew it wouldn’t be plain sailing, so we need to keep a sense of perspective when we get a few indifferent/ poor games. The league is not yet won, but we have got to where we are by a sense of togetherness - lets not implode now.

    And looking at today’s results we really need to put this to bed. I never thought it would happen but it’s looking increasingly likely Hearts are coming down. Therefore next season’s Championship is going to be bloody tough especially if as looks likely Falkirk come back up also. We need to make sure we don’t need to be worrying about it so let’s get the phucking job done. Pronto.

    Yeah, but he shouldn't beat himself up. Sometimes it's just no' your day.

    I'm pleased we kept a clean sheet. Benji was pretty solid. And I like Watson in the centre. For me, he's better than Reynolds & Connolly. But we did give up a few chances to them.

    Missed Appere yesterday I think.

    We won't be in this division but with regards hearts, they have had a lot of luck not to be adrift so may get out of it, the sending off today gave them a life line, by all accounts a needless handball from a young Accies player when they are two up and there have been times recently those near them have imploded during games when hearts have lost which would have properly saw them stranded

    Agree what a lot of it as well

    I'd add we are missing McMullan on form a lot as but add it to Appere and Clarke then it's even more noticeable

    And yes Butcher Harkes for me is also a miss, don't need three in there and not butcher powers together as not needed, it's taken away from butchers game too, he doesn't need powers in there. We know that already.

    Getting beat Friday is nit an option, RN has to wake the f uck up and drop Powers and stop f ucking about with line ups

    Start without Watson and with Powers and we wont win...

    Absolutely OA. It’s primarily Powers that’s the problem. He’s come over and basically walked into a winning team. Six games since and we have won once.


    Once.
