Zanetti

To be fair, 10 of our 37 points came from Inverness and Dunfermline away!

We've won two of our last eleven games, and haven't scored in the most recent four of them while playing some fairly horrific football. There's absolutely no reason to assume we're definitely beating Arbroath never mind Airdrie right now.

Nobody thinks we have a divine right to be playing Championship football, but if 5 years into the club paying significant wages to players and off field personnel, investing in training facilities and coaches, and this season also footing the bill to rent a massive and no doubt expensive stadium which we used to own, we find ourselves back in League One then that would at the very least be a considerable failure if not a disaster.

I understand wanting a bit of stability (something we've not had in a while), but if we get relegated Davidson will have played a massive part in that. There would be a very strong case for getting rid and starting again with someone who's done well at that level before.

Some leagues actually don't bother with the playoffs at all if the next best non-automatically promoted side is a certain number of points above whoever's below them. I know that Serie B in Italy requires a 14 point gap for that to be the case, which obviously wouldn't quite be enough for Raith this season. Of course, it doesn't work at all in our league setup when there's a team from the Premiership involved too.

That's difficult to account for in advance though. Last season there was a single point between second and fifth. I think the playoffs add a lot of excitement and reduce meaningless games over the course of a season, so they're well worth having.

Have you considered the possibility that Dunfermline are also pish?

I don't think he's necessarily a fraud, but we've won 2 of our last 11 games and not scored in our previous 4 which is awful by anybody's standards. The squad is thin but there's more than enough quality there to be doing better than that. It's hard not to have concerns about pretty much every element of how he does his job, though; team set up/formation, substitutions, and a clear lack of motivation all things I'm fairly seriously worried about.

For a club that has a massive amount to play for, we've look a hell of a lot like that for while now.

Three games left all against sides with very little or nothing to play for. No excuses at this stage, it's in our hands, and despite recent performances the team is capable of doing what they need to. Not convinced they will, right enough.

I have minimal faith in our ability to capitalise on that, but cheers Raith. A good bunch of lads.

There are plenty of folk moaning about it on Twitter.

I agree that we're definitely favourites for 9th and fully expect that to happen, but I'm assuming these probabilities don't account for teams that have nothing to play for potentially taking their foot off the gas a bit and resting players?

Agreed, I really think you should actually just not bother against us to get it up him.

We haven't gone at anyone all guns blazing in about a month unfortunately.
