Feel like I keep saying we need to start puting some distance between ourselves and ninth but those around us just keep getting results. Ayr have generally had the better of us recently but we should be capable of taking something from this. Ayr also seem to be on a sequential win/lose run since Brown took over. Can't think of a good reason for that not to continue, {...checks notes...} so last week's win over Inverness should mean an away win is inevitable

Not great but if we can win our own games what others do won't matter.

Ryan Gauld ? Should I have heard of him ?

Surely it's a transplant, no ?

Ah well. Suppose Hearts have a better, albeit small, chance of beating the arse cheeks.

Believe his contract is up at the end of this season.

Absolutely. I was hoping Davidson wouldn't have said he'll be ready for pre-season if some kind of consensus hadn't already been reached.

Given he's out of contract in the summer that seems to imply an extension is in the offing.

The final round of games are almost here with most having played ¾ of their season. Taking the current league standings and using the average points earned per game by each team’s current manager would produce; Clearly this is based on various assumptions which may not remain true making it nothing more than a bit of fun. Currently Davidson has earned 14pts from 8 games and after Saturday he will have faced everyone in the league. Repeating that tally from the remaining 9 games would likely see us safe but definitely going to be much tighter than I would like.

Bit like last season

Jeez. What's happening

What is that keeper doing

Cracking finish

There are accumulated losses (£9.6m) shown in the profit and loss reserve on the balance sheet. This has grown by £1m so by my reading this loss (and obviously net prior year ones) are currently funded by the owners existing capital and reserves.

Another tough one. Airdrie doing pretty well on their return to the 2nd tier and deserve respect for that midweek result. Add to that our record against them over the last few years and a draw starts to look like it would be a decent result. Improvements under Davidson have been huge but the spectre of that Veldman era still looms so my confidence remains a bit shaky. Reckon we need at least 11 points from our remaining 10 matches - be good to start racking these up early on. Need to be taking points off those around us and definitely should be abe to win this however probably more likely to be a low scoring draw.

Appears we have brought a young goalkeeper (Jack Wills) on loan from St Johnstone. Assume he will be on the bench tonight. https://www.facebook.com/100063655512215/posts/pfbid02GmBZKvKyye2ET8FmjHNMffRUtfQTfuJmZzJvqRwWAB2AawecU32pdk7u1vahzyT5l/?app=fbl

Am prepared to keep an open mind on Sheridan for now. Could be there was an issue which kept Williamson out the squad at the weekend. That said, I recall Davidson saying, in one of his early interviews, it was time for Williamson to prove himself or words to that effect. He's been here 2 years now and, for me, not really any sign of him breaking into the team. Believe he's around the same age as Paton and, although I have no evidence, do feel Davidson doesn't rate him or maybe this move/step-up has not worked for him. Shame if that's the case. Am sure, in his post-match interview, Davidson suggested Wilson wasn't fully match fit. That made me think the back line was set up to accommodate Wilson because of who we were playing. Guess we'll see over the next couple of games when up against the teams around us.

Does this help?
