I think the thing that annoys me is not the loss, it's the manner. What's going on at this club? On Sunday the players didn't seem up for it, against Celtic in the cup the players didn't seem up for it, against St Mirren the players didn't seem up for it. The question needs to be asked here, what's the deal? This "it was the Old Firm we lost to" mentality doesn't wash with me. Sunday's lot was a shadow of the team they once were, even from earlier in the season and it was back to the old "concede a goal and the heads go down" kind of thing. I think the fact of the matter is this - the "Butcher Revolution" was far too much of a jump in the dark and it never should have happened and sadly with the current climate, we'll probably have to go through the same again which again will distrupt things.
People are talking about not being entertained. I can only agree. The football being served is not value for money and is as dull and as lifeless as it was with the team Brewster had when he was fired. Butcher said last season, that the style of football was going change, it hasn't. If anything it's gone backwards.
I now look to next season. For now I think the club is safe this season, but with the strong likelihood of County being in the SPL next season, I worry for our chances of staying up. County will be no Dunfermline, Hamilton or Gretna. I won't be at all surprised if County have a better team than us next season as well - if they don't have one already. We'll have a hard season next season if things don't improve and I'm not sure I have faith in Butcher to do so.
