The board/Burrows have made some pretty questionable decisions in the last few months. Voting to shutdown the league while we were one of its form teams at Christmas (we didn't win again until April) and shafting our own fans to help Rangers at 4 days notice being two big ones.

I thought he looked alright before he got injured. Not a world beater obviously but useful enough in a big fucking lump way.

If your response to a 92nd minute away equaliser from 2 down to secure Top Six in the sun is that you want to go to less games I'm not sure you can be reasoned with.

Until last week Woolery had been pivotal in pretty much every point we picked up this year. Against St Mirren, Aberdeen and Rangers he came off the bench and either scored or assisted/set up the chance for our equaliser.

Yeah I remember you making similar points at the time and a lot of people (including me) disagreeing but it's a view I'm starting to come around to. Based on the last few years evidence it does seem like Robinson did well salvaging the McGhee season and building the 17/18 team but didn't really have any idea where to go afterwards and somewhat lucked out in Campbell, Turnbull, Hastie and Scott appearing at the right time. To be fair he did do a decent job integrating all 4 but his track record since 2019 does suggest its not going to be repeated. 2-0 St Mirren today then.

St Johnstone could be 6 behind us by this time tomorrow with another game against us to come. Mad to say we couldn't get dragged into this. I don't think it will happen but as long as this form goes on we have to consider the possibility.

Robinson has been basically losing most weeks for two years now, starting with our 2020 slump and continuing into his Morecambe and St Mirren spells. I liked him as manager for us and its easy to get nostalgic given our current form but it seems like he's still making a lot of the same mistakes he always has.

So no Kelly, Donnelly or Van Veen.

It seems like the standard of goalkeeper available to clubs like us has improved massively, to the point that most teams in the league are relatively happy with their #1s. I'd obviously still rather not lose Kelly, but over the last decade (or slightly longer) we've had Ruddy, Randolph, Carson, Gillespie and now Kelly. Definitely feels like an upgrade on the 2000s squads anyway.

Dundee have just hired him.

Think he's a vegan tbf

Sounds like there's a common denominator.

Yeah it probably wouldn't be my preferred option either. I'm still baffled at how little Slattery and Tierney have played during this run.

I think for a 4-4-2 to work it might have to be a lopsided McGhee style (I know) one with 3 central midfielders and one winger. Something like O'Hara Slattery Donnelly Woolery

Has Donnelly ever been that good? He went through a purple patch scoring wise and I don't think he's a terrible player but I've never thought for any length of time that he's consistently been a stand out for us or anything.

They've drawn with us twice, Hearts and Aberdeen once each and won every other game.

To drop out the Top Six would mean St Mirren, Aberdeen or Livingston finishing above us. We've been the better team in every single game against those teams this season bar the St Mirren home game where we were still robbed of 3 points, so missing out to one of them would definitely be a massive disappointment.

Am I misunderstanding or are you just very confident we're winning 2-1 next week? Edit: nevermind I think I understand now. Last one is the Raith game?

I wish we'd signed an out and out striker too- and we've certainly had our fair share of shite wide attackers recently- but we must be the only fanbase in the world where just "being a winger" is a black mark against your name

I think Steelboy's essentially saying that if we go 10 games without a win (excluding the Morton result) then the manager will be under pressure. Which I think is an accurate point, I'm just not really sure how relevant it is.

I thought we were genuinely really impressive in the 1-1 against Rangers last January in Alexander's 2nd or 3rd game in charge. It's a bit concerning that after a year and with on paper a better squad we've not been able to replicate that performance.

We'll take 7 points from the next 4 games

To be fair if we won tomorrow I'd be pretty fucking annoyed if we then missed out on top 6

Thought we lost the midfield when Slattery went off.

Late late, extremely dodgy winner for us tonight please.
