His effort to get back goalside near the end to keep the clean sheet was immense. As was Manny's tracking back during the same move! Great teamwork! 🧡❤️🧡

Thought Fadinger was very good. But given how critical I was of him last week, Ive voted for Slattery. Worked really hard and cut out any nonsense, including the lazy passes he is prone to playing. Everything he did was positive. He can enjoy his Saturday night knowing he was a very good team mate!

I think it shows how far we have come as a team when you leave the ground slightly underwhelmed with a 2-0 victory over Dundee United. I thought we were pretty good first half. Controlled the game and limited them to one decent chance. Created plenty ourslves and should have really scored a few goals. Had no idea what happened with the penalty at the game, but from the highlights their defender clearly elbows JT in the midrift, so think its a fair enough shout. Got lucky with the finish for the second goal, but given the other chances we created (and missed) we probably deserved it on pressure alone. Was disappointed how we finished the game. We got sloppy with our passing and made some pretty bad decisions. A better team might have taken advantage. Overall though, great 3 points. Thought we had gears to go and can certainly play a lot better. We might need to next week.

Certainly not from our side! 😉 I look forward to seeing the highlights of the St Mirren game with some anticipation! 😆😆😆

If I was dropping anyone it would be Priestman. He doesnt deserve to be dropped, but he is a huge asset to bring off the bench with 30 minutes to go. He is the most natural replacement for Watt, and protecting him after the 60 minute mark would be smart imho. The alternative is go same again and bring Fadinger on after 60 minutes for either Watt or Slattery.

I wouldnt. Much as I though his reaction to the incident was embarassing, did him and us no favours, I wouldnt give the St Mirren fans still greetin about it any encouragement! He has had the waggy finger. Time for the arm round the shoulder. (And shove that new contract in front of him 😉)

100% Win the next 2 games and we show we have developed into a team that can win the games they need to. After that, we need to go to Glasgow and win. You cant win the title unless you can win in Glasgow (apparently)......

Only Hearts (3), Celtic (3), Killie (2), Falkirk (2). After that we have never lost more than 1 goal in any league game. Thats bonkers.

1 defeat in 19 league games. And even that was the game at Ibrox where we should have had at least a point. We have only conceded 5 goals in the league since the League Cup semi final. Thats 17 league games. Given we have only lost 18 league goals in 27 games so far that means we lost 13 of those in the first 10 games before the semi final. The semi final was a sore one, but Jens has clearly learned from that defeat and tweaked the system. United have some dangerous players up top, but they will have to commit bodies in the press to get the better of us which should leave them more open at the back. Could be a very good game!

This weeks episode is a good listen!

Great listen! Subscribed! 🧡❤️🧡

As the team playing catchup, we definitely cant afford to be dropping points against teams in the bottom 6 if we have any real aspirations of winning the league. Winning all our games will be a big ask, but if we did, Id be pretty confident 83 points wins the title.....

Its a long week without midweek games!

Absolutely. No way the club are turning that kind of money down. Its our model after all. We take it and invest modestly in the next Maswanhise. It also takes any pressure of taking low ball offers for any of our other players. "Meet the valuation or bugger off!" This summer is going to be an entirely new experience for us as a club. One where we are not just clearing the decks to try and get rid of the deadwood, but trying to hold onto as much of this squad as we can, whilst at the same time not standing in the way of players career development. The only hope is that Jens is still the guy overseeing it and we are not looking for a new manager as well.

Very pleasing. I know we are all looking up the way, but these little milestones will let the board start planning early for next season....
