Lots of points to be had this month from the teams round about us and these games could determine where we will eventually end up in the league. A decent run will push us back into the top six, whereas a disastrous set of results will see us battling it out in the bottom quarter.
Heres hoping for a wee boost starting today against the Well. We managed six points away last season, but unfortunately lost all six at home, therefore I don't expect an easy ride today. Last season Motherwell were the team who could have given us our biggest home defeat, but we got away with a 1-2 loss after going ahead then the wheels fell off about five minutes before half time. Second half wee Skippy led our defenders a merry dance and we were fortunate not to concede five or six goals. No cause for complacency then, and I am sure CC and Parky will have the lads fired up for what should be an interesting and maybe turgid affair, lets hope with a bit of entertainment thrown in. The players are finding it difficult to get the right balance between attacking and defending as reported on text, this has shown in some of the displays, but the last couple against the Don's and moreso against the Jambo's have shown that when we play the passing game, we can open up defences, all we need is the run of the ball in front of goal and someone to take the risk and complete the good work.
Forget the Xmas shopping, forget the local pubs (between three and five), and get down to the stadium and get the December show on the road, the guys on the park need some support so lets get right behind them.... win or lose.
