If the team can have a collective off-day and still not lose, we're doing not too bad. I think everyone needs a wee break, not just the players. There seemed to be a collective anxiety around the place on Saturday, with the prospect of losing a third consecutive game at the end of a fortnight that kicked-off with such high hopes and expectations. Maybe a mental reset is needed before the run-in, just as much as a physical rest.

Im going for a strong finish to the season 7 games left, so why not 7 wins and a 75 point total, and see what that gets us. No Alcohol was consumed before posting, coyw.

If you don't think we have a plan B you haven't been listening to Jens or the players. He has been training the players to adapt to low blocks, high presses, being kicked, long high balls etc. It doesn't mean, however, it always works. There's a reason no team in the league wins every game. We need every player to be on it, and sometimes they are not.

I think there is that little bit of pressure on the supporters as well as the players when we turn up to Firpark with the expectation of a win rather than simply the hope of one. I think the pressure of the potentially massive prize on offer did get to everyone and as you say there is possibly a mental tiredness as well as a physical tiredness associated with that. Now that the talk of league titles is over the pressure may ease from everyone a little bit. Having said that, I am not convinced that the league title is completely dead in the water and I don't think the players or manager will have given up all hope either. Beat Falkirk and Hearts and things could suddenly look very interesting again particularly when the OF look less than convincing. It may still work in the teams favour that we have been written out of the title race.

I think you need to look beyond the points in the league and the cup games. Jens arrived at a club that let’s be honest was playing terrible football and had essentially become a bottom six team that might just survive if we get a decent run. Within a summer he totally transformed our style of play, exciting to watch, hard to beat and holding onto the ball for long periods of games. Comfortably into the top six and have an outstanding chance of Europe. You have to look at where we have come from to judge how good he has been.

Fanx! I feel pwoud, vewwy pwoud..........

The atmosphere was very flat especially 2nd half but mainly because there was nothing to get us excited. We were always looking for one pass too many. Thor should hsve been on earlier but as a few hsve said, we didnt lose so it worked out just fine in the end

Poorest we have been all season looked like we went back to the first ten games of the season when we were trying to get to grips with what was trying to get implemented.The short passing was terrible and our big players this season majority had off day it happens. But give me this season anytime its been absolutely fantastic and seeing stands full again,folk buzzing to get Fir Park just brilliant. The progress has been bonkers to the point If I see anything like Kettleball at Fir Park again I could slip into a football coma!

Johnny K new contract everyday of the week i think we have missed him tbh the rest can leave with my blessing. We cant be carrying injury prone players from the Kettlewell era time to progress and add some value. Hendry is another I be looking at to send out on loan aswell really not done anything when he was on the pitch for me.

Can’t find his passport?

I'd offer an extension to Johnny K., I think that he is good enough and has earned the right to stay (if he wants to). I really like Nicholson, decent footballer, great personality, but quite injury-prone. He's 50/50 for me. I had hoped to see Robinson get some games to see how he might fit in with JBA's style of playing, but, sadly, he may not get the opportunity to prove himself. The other free agents can leave with thanks, they've all played their part.

Looks like Maswanhise won’t be travelling. Quite pleased with that as if I were to pick one player who needs a rest it’s him. He’s looked knackered for weeks

I feel with some saying other teams have sussed us out is very premature. What about us sussing other teams out as Hibs who are our nearest challengers were reduced to not able to do very much against us. With 2 weeks to prepare against a falkirk team that have been sussed out i am sure another victory will be provided. We are disappointed because we never got to previous levels but it is very small margins and if offside goal stands a totally different outcome.

Just one of many things he got wrong on Saturday. Dont know if it is just me, but he also comes across as quite arrogant when dealing with the players. Probably my least favourite Scottish referee, which is saying something given the very low bar!

The other bizarre one was when the hibs player was down injured and after about 2 mins when play stopped he booked Sparrow! If he thought it was a foul and a yellow why not stop play there and then? Yup David Dickinson made a bargain hunt of that one 🤪🤪
