    From November our form has been that of relegation, and it was an explosive shankland early in the season that did much of the damage.

    Not sure this is strictly true. First game against each opponent we were on title chasing form. Second time through we were still picking up enough points that would have seen us challenge for second projected over the season. The third game against each team we were bad like Falkirk - on pace for points in the mid thirties, but fourth time through we were on pace for points in the mid forties which would have been comfortably safe. Not sure that uptick was really recognised.

  2. From an emotional point of view it would be good to see McCall finish up this season and choose to leave on a relative high. From the point of view of he probably wants to keep working I can't see anything changing. If there are two part time teams in the league next year we have a strong chance to stay up again. Probably won't have the highs of this season, but there you go. Despite everything, there are seven other teams in the division (excluding County and Alloa) whose fans are probably just as disappointed with how things have played out for their side as we are.

  3. Always refreshing to get pumped off a village team. Saves us getting too excited about anything.

    Thought we weren't too bad though. Some bright spots and obviously not our strongest side. I do like Crawford and Murdoch together in midfield. Wouldn't object to having doc or kerr sitting behind them with one up front against strong opponents.

  4. I'm not convinced Shankland is all that far away. He's getting chances in each game, so even if his movement isn't where it was at the start of the year he's still a threat. Could be he's snatching a bit because he feels the pressure from the goals drying up or maybe his eye's a little out, but I doubt either of those will be permanent problems. His build up play is still good and opponents are still worried about him. I'd agree that a rest would do him good, but I wouldn't bet against him getting back amongst the goals in the playoffs.

    Can’t believe a number of the comments being made on here re Smith , he is one of our top players and a professional, questioning his integrity is sad , the guy knew before the last United game he was more than likely going to end up there and gave 100% that night , just look at Jones 12 miles up the road from us , signed a pre contract for Rangers and then the following week scored the winner against them , supporters who until today said he was one of players of the season then all of a sudden news breaks of him signing for DU and all of a sudden start saying he was not that great anyway , 

    The Jones example isn't the same thing at all. No matter what he does against Rangers this season they'll be in the premiership next year. Smith could potentially be in a position to influence what division the team he's playing for next season will be in. It's crazy to think that wouldn't cross his mind.
