Pretty frustrating that Arbroath are eventually feeling the pressure, no wins in four.

Thistle one win in eight

ICT no wins in ten

Killie going through the motions, pretty average most weeks

Can we capitalise?! Nope we are on the worst run in whole league and chuck in the crazy Goodwillie signing for good measure.

For as long as other so-called promotion challengers falter, and every team in the league continues to draw too many games, then the better for us. It gives us more time to climb out of our poor run and better opportunity to challenge for the top spots - better than we deserve these past 2-3 months.

Whoever rises above the mediocrity first will succeed, and believe it or not, we've still got a decent chance

Its quite astonishing that we are just outside the top four on gd and 8 pts above 6th given our current form.

Two ways of looking at this. Fortunate to be still in the hunt for a play off spot but more realistically what a massive opportunity lost given the form of all the other top teams. Probably passed up the best opportunity to win this league outright.

If we can put a few wins on the board it will at least keep us well in the hunt for 4th probably in a duel with ICT.

Thats a fair summary, I think it highlights just how equal every team in the league is, there are no sides that are able to pull away and no side that you could easily say, they're winning this league. We've had some massive fortune with other sides results but we need to capitalise on it ourselves now. This last quarter will be massive to secure a good finishing spot in the league.

Firhill pitch in some state tonight but it would be a good result for us if the second half has the same result as the first, providing we can win tomorrow for the first time in the league in 2022.

Many moons ago now when I was but a bairn, I played on the Siderns ( correct spelling) pitches on the Riverside in Dundee which did have grass but only just. Mainly built up with cinders used to reclaim land on which Dundee airport now stands. Land west of the railway bridge between the river and the railway to Perth. It would put Firhill to shame if still around.

minute goal☹️

Better team lost I thought, had Inverness had their shooting boots on then they could have had 2 or 3 goals in 2nd half

A draw would have been the best result for us, but probably better Partick winning than Inverness.

Anyone got Dodds in the Shooglie Peg game?

They'll empty him at the end of the season giving him time to make the playoffs. As long as it doesn't impact on us trying to get into them.
Get the feeling it'll be the top three tonight and either us or ICT in the fourth place.
