I suspect 37 point might be needed to avoid the drop or play off. We would need 10 points. 6 or 7 points before the split would be perfect but still a hard ask.
I don't know if there is something unique about their artificial surface. Generally when I watch us on them I think we use it as a convenient excuse when we've been pish but yesterday I genuinely couldn't believe some of the bounces coming off that surface, that's was as bad as I've seen a ball play on any artificial surface.
Our previous two wins turned that game from a must win game for us to a must not lose and that's exactly what we did. If we can get away from from Ross County without a defeat I'll be reasonably happy. We should then have both Killie and RC at Motherwell after the split. The Dundee Utd game at Fir Park will be huge. Hope they don't have a new manage bounce going on by then.
The surface does affect the game. Motherwell players were slipping and falling and you could see they were struggling with the bounce of the ball. I'm not excusing that first half dross. They were better in the second half without being good and we got what we deserved. We were worth at least a draw.
OBika is not good in the air , so why the fuck did we give him every ball over his head. He needs the ball into his body and feet as we did against Hearts.
Free hit tomorrow , thats a real bonus that we have a game we are always likely to lose without the result it impacting our league position. I would take a point right now , a win would be beyond fabulous .
They have taken a further option in tickets and have sold 3300 , if we could only get 5000 of our own support out would make for a great atmosphere. Hearts don't play great football but they create lots of chances and have a great attacking flair. I don't see us getting anything , would happily take a draw right now if offered.
I was actually hoping we might have got Tony Watt back in the January window but fuck me based on last night how wrong could I be. I also don't get the narrative he's not match fit. He's been in training every week the whole season. He has gone backwards by quite some measure since he left us.....
I can't understand any of these "oh fuck naw" responses to the numerous names linked to the job. None of the names have an unblemished records and all will have had poor spells at other clubs. That's the market we are in. If they had unblemished records they wouldn't be coming to us. The only one I wouldn't want is John Hughes and it's purely based on the irrational position that I just can't stand the sight or sound of him. 😁😁
Yep and every single agenda item costing us a lot of money, cup exit, compensation to Hammel, cost of new manager, disaster planning for our certain relegation.
Billy Davies , fuck me I've never been closer to chucking when that useless wee fanny was in charge. Let's hope his name remains in the social media banter 😄😄
