Current team form in our league
Aberdeen 1 win in 11
Dundee 1 win in 13
Dundee Utd 2 wins in 15
Hibs 1 win in 9
Motherwell 1 win in 10
St Johnstone 2 wins in 17
And Robinson's reign at St Mirren is played 2 lost 2 scored 0.
My opinion on the standard of the league has been consistent for years but it is what it is.
I do think though that fans are being a little fickle, giving standing ovations against Aberdeen and Rangers and then literally hours later howling at the team at every touch and screaming at the manager to fuck off.
We are 2 points off 4th in March and could potentially be at a Scottish Cup semi final.
Last night was really poor, but I don't think we are in a run of terrible performances like we were last season. We have improved, it might be from a very lowly position, and in no way am I saying we are playing magical football, but we have made a step forward on a season by season basis.
There are lots of things we need to do better in games, there are things we need to do better behind the scenes and in the 'dugout' and we should always endeavour to make those improvements and, if need be, pressure those in charge to maintain momentum in that direction. That will always be the case.
However just think about where we were last season and have a little bit of patience and a little bit of perspective. Under Robinson from winter break 19-20 to winter break 20-21 we picked up 26 points. We have bettered that this season alone by 9 points. That's not even taking the post winter break matches from last season in to consideration.
My opinion on the manager will adapt depending on circumstances but we need to take a step back. Some of the hostility towards Alexander is out of order. A poisonous atmosphere like it was leaning towards last night won't help us and I think we all need to be a little but more accepting and philosophical about where we are right now. For me, we are still very much in a 'recovery' phase.
Next season I will be looking for improvement across the board but right now I think it's a bit impetuous to demand Top 6 finishes and quality football.
