It seems to me that saturday's match at East End Park is probably the most crucial we have played since beating St Johnstone to secure promotion.
Win and we are ten points away from the foot possibly even having climbed place in the table. Confidence will be largely restored and our opponents' confidence will take another knock. In that event we can concentrate on looking towards the top six rather than down towards the trap door.
Lose, on the other hand, and we will be firmly in relegation territory confidence further dented and Dunfermline with their tales up the rest of the season my well be a relegation dog fight.
However, if we repeat our firt half showing of last week, hopefully with the defence being a little tighter Iam sure we can extend our great SPL record against the Pars nd begin to banish the spectre of relegation for the season.
