That's Big Don!

Ryan Esson's favourite song is The Reflex by Duran Duran...or should that be Doran Doran!

I dont think the defeat has been a cause of anything. I do, however, wonder if all the hype and high expectations put additional pressure of the squad. On saying that, and I can only go by reports, we haven't been playing badly. We just haven't taken the chances we've created. Three hard games, all away, in one week didn't help. That happens in football. At least now we can get back down to the day to day stuff and concentrate on league business.

Flares, smoke bombs and pitch invasions.

Exactly my words CaleyD. I would just like to remind some folks here about the expectations and hopes last July. Let's see what happened with them: 1. Safety from relegation: Big check 15 games from the end 2. Positive season record against OTB: Nearly check, all we need is one point out of 2 games, and another if we drop to seventh or they miraculously climb to sixth. 3. One cup run: Big check 4. Signing key players on two-year contracts: Check for Meekings, G Shinnie and Mckay with a good chance to extend that list 5. Football on the deck instead of the hoof: Check. Not always as there are situations the hoof is simply necessary, but most of the time 6. Finding the net more often: Big big check 7. Better discipline: Check after a bad start. We had no one sent off since OTJ against Aberdire in October, or was that still September?!

Personally I think the winter break, extended due to the postponement of the derby game at new year, has knocked out some of our momentum. We'll perhaps kick on now that we only have the league to concentrate on, and to be realistic, we're not yet guarenteed a top 6 either. Celtic and Motherwell in our next 3 games. Here's hoping we can take at least a point!
