Won't be a total clearout, it'll be shedding those that we don't need and keeping the better ones, many can handle the premiership, thats how you build a squad and get stability
Totally agree .
Was all about the result but that is as poor as a Unite side as I have ever seen , we are stinking .
Just need to make sure we get over the line and hopefully have a total clear out ahead of next season because regardless of what Tony Watt says about this side being good enough to compete in the SPL the exact opposite is true .

Big win last night, good to see Grimshaw back, strongest defence and we looked more solid, should have been like that the last three with Thomson elsewhere, works better
10 wins on the road and still no defeats when Docherty plays, can't be dismissed how much him being out has impacted form and results overall, key player, missed both Raith games too
Hopefully have him for the last 9 games
Was very surprised he lasted the match yesterday, I'm hesitant to say that's a good sign, because there has been no rhyme or reason to his injury record to this point, he could just as easy disappear out the team again without notice.
Yes, I mentioned last week - I don't think his absence is entirely down to injury. Not saying he hasn't been injured, but I think there's more to it and others have hinted at similar. To me, that was confirmed last week with Goodwin's comments in the Partick pre game press conference. When questioned on the fitness/availability of Docherty and Wotherspoon, he said something like… there's a bit to go with both of them, not a million miles away, probably next week before we'd expect to see them back with the group. Then 24 hours later it was posted on here that Docherty was back in the team, not only that but he started the game. This is what I've found strange for a while now - if you're trying to 'nurse' a player back to fitness, do you not put him on the bench and give him 15-20 minutes at the end of a game and then build it up from there? Any time Docherty has returned, he's straight back in the starting line up.
Sure I read on here he wasn't far from making the Airdrie game, he'd been under going a fitness test
He has no really recent injury record and was pretty much an ever present until late Oct, maybe just had an unlucky spell, let's hope so and he's ready to go for the last quarter
Can only see us doing better from here
The Club posted a short video clip of the players reaction at the final whistle and they were really pumped up, shouting yaaaas etc
A really good sign.
Hopefully we can carry that spirit into the final games.
Pressure is very much back on Raith despite them winning the title a few weeks ago 😎
We've got to make sure we press home the advantage now.
I think I'd like to see Cudjoe Replace a centre mid and play behind striker at the weekend.
I think Miller Thomson looks like a real prospect. A player who seems to have all the attributes including the mentality to go with it. Looks miles ahead of Fotheringham and Middleton already.
Thomson is gonna have a bad game at some point though and us fans are gonna have to not get on his back. He has really grabbed his opportunity ans looks like he is enjoying his football but we really need to keep our expectations realistic. Hopefully he can keep his form going for the run in. He looks like he could have a decent career ahead of him.
