As things stand at the moment we are not sitting too bad in this league. No team will ever dominate it. The top will change each week. This week Partick go top. Queen's get stuffed by Morton. Thats how it'll be all season. The season we won it we see-sawed between fifth and top for many weeks of the season. Every season since, the first has been the same, barring last season where St J commanded. We are still in touch with the top and probably will be right to the end. Wins against Queen's and Kircaldy and we're back at the top.
My mates a sainty's fan, remember making fun of him last season early on about their start, he didnt reckon they'd make top half, had a quick look at their scores...
1st game 2-0 win at home against livi
2nd game 2-2 draw away to morton
3rd game 3-0 DEFEAT at home to dunfermline
4th game 4-0 DEFEAT away to partick
5th game 3-2 DEFEAT at home to clyde
6th game 2-1 win away to county
7th game 2-2 draw away to queens
thats only 8 points from their opening 7 games, including some stinking scores, and they ended up winning the league by 10 points, so maybe their isnt as much need to panic as everyone is suggesting. It is a tough league and maybe we need a bit more time to settle in.
Just a theory, but if saint j's still went on to "command" the league after a worse start than us then perhaps there is some hope left.
p.s. they then went on to win their next 6 games!
