Delighted for Bair, he’s progressing well and has been becoming a handful to play against, I’m hoping Vale looks the part as I’d like to see 2 up top. 
The park hasn’t half been hammered, it’s as patchy as Halliday hair. I can’t see it getting better with the predicted weather…. Both the park and hair.

I said last week that these draws are dangerous and here we go again, this time dropping a place with Ross County having a game in hand.  Despite being told we're financially strong, if we go down that strength will be short-lived and I'm not sure we'd get back up as soon as we think. This was once a tram that could go toe to toe with the best of them.

In the last 5 games the bottom 6 teams have managed 3 wins between them (we have one of them). We're 4 points off 6th place. That's how tight this league is. 

Tuesday is a chance to pull away a wee bit, but these draws might end up saving us.

Unbeaten i think 4 in the league now but we really need to start getting the W on the board at some point.

However we are competing feel like we have dropped 2 points against St Johns and two points today.

Just something that's not clicking to give us that edge hopefully we have it against Ross County midweek.

Onwards and upwards.

Some folk need to wring there knickers oot. 

Thought we actually played well for the best part in horrible conditions and probably deserved the three points. The first ten minutes they never got a sniff but typically the first time they ventured forward they got a few set pieces before they scored with the first effort they had. Quite surprised it stood as it looked a foul on Davor, esph with similar instances he pulled up for incidents involving Armstrong. 

I thought Paton, Spittal and Bair all played really well together, some nice phases of play but need to be more clinical. Paton could probably have won a penalty as McKenzie was pulling him as he drove into the box but he stayed on his feet. 

I can't remember Killie having much efforts on goal. They were however happy to volley anything that walked.

An hour earlier VAR had refused to give  a penalty to Aberdeen for Johnston NFL tackling Gartemann as he was about to head the ball at goal so there was no chance they were going to intervene for any pushes in the box today.

Killie had 3 shots, only one on target which they scored.

In pub..match report later but can't fault lads... deserved win.....Bair outstanding 

Bair has been superb of late. If he is a ‘project’ then it’s working. His confidence has improved significantly since mid/late December.

Granted I only caught the second half but we did look the better team. Having said that though we never really looked like kicking on and winning. The subs came very late indeed, Nicholson in the 89th minute just doesn't make any sense.

 

Another point on the board but still not good enough. Big big game on Tuesday, not quite must win, but absolutely must not lose.

I suspect it's good for him to have fans onside now. Personally I think he always put a shift in even when he wasn't scoring 

His workrate has never been in question, just his ability to deliver but he’s started showing that he can in fact deliver goals over the last month and a half. His confidence has increased significantly in that time too, which isn’t a coincidence. If he had a proper striker like prime Moult or KvV to support him then he would go from strength to strength.

We were piss poor for 30 mins, we settled and should have won it. Thought it was a could leading up to Millie's goal but will wait for TV evidence . We should have beat Hibs, St J and now Kilmarnock. Very frustrating but the fact team are not dominating us and we keep chipping away with points could be crucial.  We could see Hibs dragged into the fight. They are pish and now only 4 points ahead of us. Three points against RC could be huge. Thought Theo had a great game and Mr reliable McGinn had another good solid performance.
