An awful refereeing performance there but we can have no complaints at the end result as we were dismal throughout and got what we deserved in the end. We are a poor team filled with garbage and relegation is a distinct possibility.

As for Polworth, he's went from decent player to utter liability. The sooner we get rid the best.

So let's see... no new manager bounce in results... soft penalties against us, goal down with no response... teams with poor form always able to reverse when playing us... hmmm... it's not working ... reset ... how did Robinson think he left the club in better condition than he left? Cash in the bank perhaps but nothing else. This is what happens to clubs who sell their asset players... it's what led to Dundee United being relegated, and that's the same path.
Perhaps there needs to be bigger changes than just a new manager as that's done nothing for our end product.

A tennis coach once said something which applies well to the relatively even world of Scottish football.

Five percent of the time it's your day: you're brilliant or the other guy is terrible but either way you can only win

Five percent of the time it's not your day: you're terrible or the other guy is brilliant but either way you can only lose.

Don't worry about either situation - there's nothing you can do about it anyway and at only 10 percent it doesn't define your season.

What does define you is the 90 percent in between where matches can be won or lost - like today.

As much as we deservedly lost in the end, we could very easily have led 2-1 at half-time. But didn't and we lost. Again.

We've only won a few times all season and of those Aberdeen and Ross Country we're definitely in the five percent category. I'm not going through the other 20 odd games to categorise them but it's this that's killing us, there have been so many games we've thrown away points (even Hamilton, the nadir, saw us miss a gimmie at 0-0 before we chucked them two goals).

Our most pressing concern in terms of survival isn't losing when rotten as everyone does that - but I bet few teams will have taken so few points as us from games where they actually played fine for significant spells.
