It will simply mean the replacements haven't stepped up imo. Ofc, the few rabid folk will explode with enrage and slag Hearts to bits but they'll do that anyway, just a matter of when, right up there with the Berra thing. If it means a team gaining on Dundee, I'd play the 14 year olds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the 36-game format was introduced in 1994, not a single team has got above 2 points per game without winning this division, and we're currently well above that at 2.19 PPG. To finish below 2 PPG we'd need to drop 11 of our last 18 points (not happening) and even then we'd have a points total which would win the league 26 times out of 27. And yes, we have been shite and well worthy of criticism, but stuff about other teams doing us favours or us being lucky to still be top is nonsense. We've done more than enough to win the league on our own merits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, gregzy 👍 Well we all already knew that hibs were tinpot but thanks for confirming that. 3 years! It is a tinpot league though in my opinion, just look at the league table, the part time teams are closer to dunfermline (who are 2nd) than dunfermline are to us, the standard is rotten in this league imo hence why we have been average at best this season and we are still 16 points clear. Hopefully we start getting better performances next season but can we really afford to gamble on neilson too much longer? That is the 1million dollar question. I hope him and his management team can get better from the team next year but i am slightly concerned in all honesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the tinpot outfit we played today, PT with about three balls dotted about and the worst stream so far. Campbell arranged three players on loan from other clubs in this division and was then told they couldn’t, none of them knew the rules 🤔😂. Don’t even tell you how much injury time there is 😆.

You are the one all over the place! Why are you rambling on about cup games? If you want to look at cup games this season why not mention the Alloa one too? Yet again you try to evidence one off cup games (which we were utterly dreadful in both first halves by the way) as an indicator of how we we would do in the Premiership yet completely fail to acknowledge the season before when we were able to raise our game and beat Rangers and Hibs 4 times but still be the worst team in the league. It means nothing. Did I really need to spell that out? People that understand football know that one off cup games don’t give you any indication as to how you will perform in the league. Trying to suggest that because we drew over 90 minutes against Hibs and Celtic means we will be top 6 next season is the kind of logic my 12 year old son would use. How this team would fare in the Premiership is all subjective of course and let’s hope we never find out but instead get several upgrades for next season. As for the evidence though, I’d suggest that is staring you right in the face week in week out. The level of performance is nowhere near where it needs to be for a Scottish team with the budget we have.

People calling for his head seriously need to question whether we can attract a decent enough candidate, but even if that you need to consider whether that person would be interested if they took a look at how far behind the squad is from the first team to reserves. Who (other than those out of work) is going to put their neck on the line if they think its unlikely they can reap the benefits of their hard work before they get the sack? All fair comment. I’m all for change if it’s the right change but we need to be thinking in at least the medium term. We need to start building something again.
