I know your views mate. I'd say you are more optimist than pragmatic, but that's a matter of perspective.
The general negativity is really borne of frustration, it is turning into a case of "what might of been" or "this is what you could have won" this season. We've also been horribly inconsistent.
I was looking at stats yesterday and we had 24 points on the 29th October and were top, having played 13 games (1.85 PPG). We've subsequently amassed 26 points in 19 games (1.37 PPG). Only 2 points more having played 6 more games. That's what has done us in!
I've been slowly getting more demoralised since we lost the Queens Park game away at the start of February, then losing to Falkirk away mid March in the Cup. In our last 10 league games we have 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. Its just not enough to be challenging and it's gonna be squeaky bum time for top 4.
I'll still be right behind the team on match day but its out of hope rather than expectation. I really do feel that this season is a big opportunity missed.
