Insert Amusing Pseudonym Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Number of points off the top = 16 Number of points dropped against the bottom 4 = 17 (15 away from home) I'm not saying we should be near the top this season or even that we should have done better with this squad, but that's one area where we need to improve next season. At least 8 of those points can be put down to red cards, so there's a start. Tbf, Aberdeen have dropped plenty of points to the bottom 6 and Celtic too. Nobody wins every game they expect to.Dropping points because of daft red cards is a big problem though 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 8 of those points can be put down to red cards, so there's a start. I would agree with that. A bit more of that ruthlessness we had in the championship would be what we could do with a bit more of for next season. I think the good thing is at least we know what our problems are and we've been very good at correcting are issues, whether it is competing in tougher games, adapting to losing Sow and finding players to improve the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Stu Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 It's what's RN has said, and it's an area we need to match Aberdeen on. Grinding out results. Finding a way to win. The second Hamilton Accies away game sticks out for me as a prime example. Down to 10 men, comfortable at 0-0 but Zanatta misses an absolute sitter to get all 3 points. Small margins but it all adds up. Two shite performances in Inverness as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Tbf, Aberdeen have dropped plenty of points to the bottom 6 and Celtic too. Nobody wins every game they expect to. Dropping points because of daft red cards is a big problem though Yep, but 5 wins in 12 against those teams is still poorer than you'd expect. Like I say, I'm not one of those calling this season a "missed opportunity" or anything because, as you point out, Celtic and Aberdeen would have similar "what if" stories. If we want to improve next season, though, we need to cut out the red cards and be a bit more ruthless. I think the spine of the team is looking good. A couple of more creative players, one or two two more striking options as well as a decent left-back and the team would be in very good shape. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcor Roar Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 From 4th to 11th the teams are much of a muchness in this league. Agreed that discipline has cost us several points though. Always going to get inconsistency with a young squad but hopefully next season we will be more ruthless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohoo1902 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Tbh with Sevco coming up we might do well getting as high as 3rd next season. Depends how it goes of course, but they're bound to overspend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohoo1902 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) I've warmed to Reilly. After a slow start he's begun to look decent when he occasionally gets some game time. Keatings He's better than Keatings, but not by much of a distance tbh. He has potential and certainly gives his all. Unsure he'll quite make the grade at this level though.
