    Actually it is more. Morton can get to 58 if they win all their games, so we need 13. Airdrie can get to 60 even if Morton beat them.

    I reckon 2 more wins will be enough for top 4. Hopefully we don't need to endure the nail-biting last regular day trauma of last season, and we can just look forward to the trauma of the play-offs instead.

  2. I thought we were good today. When you're on a run without a win nothing comes easily. You have to drag yourself out of it. We dominated throughout but we didn't win comfortably because we're a bit vulnerable.  But we did well and got over the line. Very happy.

    We are only 9 points above 9th, so I wouldn’t rule out a playoff on current form.

    I would.

    We're 8 or 9 points above about 4 teams. The chance of them all catching us are virtually non existent. We might need one more win or a few draws to be absolutely sure, but even on current form we'll manage that.

  4. Fair play, that's three recent games where we've gone two behind and come back to equalise. On the other hand, we've also let other teams do it to us. The old adage of the first goal being vital doesn't seem to apply in our games these days

    I agree. He got a bit more frustrating in a few moments as the game went on, but was fairly even handed and it made for an enjoyable contest.

    Don't get me wrong, I was on my feet several times throughout the game, complaing about what the ref had missed and how the last 4 decisions had all gone against us.

    But he allowed the game to be played. So many don't. I'd have that every week and don't get me started on VAR. Referees will make mistakes. As long as they're honest I think we have to accept it.

  6. If the target is third and you are third, I'm not sure it's time to talk about changing the manager.

    Also (and I know this is controversial) I'm not sure that failing to achieve a target is necessarily a sacking offence. I think, particularly where an employee is new to a role, continuity and opportunity for learning and correcting mistakes has value.

    We need to see improvement from the last 2 games, that kind of form can't continue indefinitely. But there's not a great deal of jeopardy in our position right now. Almost certainly we'll be in the Championship again next season. Doolan should be given a chance to get things right.

    Last October into November 
    18 goals in 5 games
    4 at Aberdeen 
    4 against Queens Park
    4 at Ayr
    3 at Raith
    3 at Dundee

    Then 2 at Morton 

    It still doesn’t make last 4 games any better conceding 13 goals

     

    Might be worth considering that it's mostly the same defence
