    If you are thinking we will survive this season who will be 11th and 12th?.

    Read a very good post over the weekend by JJ i think regarding the calibre of opposition in the league minus the OF,Sheep and Hibs.I agree with him that there is nothing to fear but what clubs do you think we will finish above to establish ourselves back where we belong?.

    Motherwell are on the up and although we beat them i think they have a stronger more experienced squad than us,i would be amazed if our current squad could finish above them.We may well have to finish above a club with a plastic pitch which will not be easy as that pitch in my opinion gives them a very unfair advantage.

    If we went down the plastic pitch route i don't think i would ever purchase another season ticket in my life.I have witnessed Hamilton and heard Kilmarnock have blatantly cheated with the pitch watering routine and i cannot understand why the authorities allow this to happen.

    It's a pity the Dees are no longer with us as that would all but guarantee survival in this division in what is a transition year for us. Hamilton are odds on to go down each year and I think this might finally be the year the bookies get it correct.

    I said a while back that we will improve as the season goes on and I stick by that. Reason being we have a coach that will improve us as he beds in and his coaching pays dividends.

    I wouldn't bet against us finishing above Motherwell either 😁

    I agree with you regarding Hamilton but here is the problem with them.Last week Alan Preston is on Open All Mikes as Livi take the lead v the Accies,"I know they always prove us wrong but they are getting battered here and i think this is the season they will go down."

    The final score was Livi 1 Accies 2.I honestly think that both of them clubs with their pitches thrown in make a complete mockery of Scottish football however its really up to the rest of this country's sides to send them back to where they really belong.

    Game as we know it will be (gemmes up the poley) by seasons end . Probably only half of teams will survive whats yet to come and be doing well to have 2 leagues of 12 or 14. Bride of chuckie gets her wish!

    I can only hope that the only victory secured by the Dees since lockdown is upheld in the English supreme court.

    John Nelms won't vote for that. Or will he?

    Dance! As some sad Dee said. We are 6th in the Premier and the Dees yet to play a game in the Disney league Henry. As you can tell I'm having a wee celebration on my day off. Oh and by the way I'm actually old enough to remember Henry playing! The guy who invented the sweep over haircut...

    Yesterday's win was very important for various reasons, gets the home win money off our backs too

    I've thought all along that it's difficult to find two sides that are obvious to finish bottom two, we are the underdogs this season regardless of what people think, given the circumstances we faced and the delay in knowing what league we'd be in

    It won't be easy to stay in the league and I'll be delighted with finishing out the bottom two, it's a good challenge though, think it will be tight for most of the league

    Still think the top six will ultimately be celtic sevco sheep hibs killie mwell, probably our best bet of finishing above teams are st mirren, county and accies, less so livi and perth
