Should we lose Ruddy and lukas then we lose Ruddy and lukas.
I remember when we lost McFadden. Thought we were doomed. Also remember when we lost skippy. Who the hell was gonna step up and get the goals?? Most recently, when we lost Clarkson, Hughes, Quinn, Klimpl, Buzz, Bob Malcolm...(aye im joking about Malcolm), that was us lucky to win a f*kin point all season. Im not gonna start panicking now.
We're sitting 5th, we've won 4 games all season which is relatively poor but just now its on par with Aberdeen and Hearts. We've lost 4 games compared to Aberdeen's 6 and Hearts 7. If you told me at xmas we'd be on par and even ahead of these two teams then i'd say thats sensational with the squad we have. We have just came through a spell playing the four teams above us, who have better players than us and bigger squads. We now have a good run of games, minus Hearts at tynecastle, coming up and the following month will give us a better insight into how the rest of the season will go. The '7 points or else relegation battle' line is nonsense.
Gannon is not without his flaws. He is still essentially a young manager. He brings some interesting ideas, however he will not get everything right. He has made some poor decisions the last few weeks, imo. Some down to naivety with the press, some with his team choice. He's Jim Gannon, he's not lord jesus christ. With what he has had work with he has done a good job and has raised everyones expectations.
If we get into February and we're 2 points ahead of falkirk sitting in 11th, i'll eat my own arse!
