At Last! A week to be happy with and our 2nd division status is guaranteed. More to the point we stay outwith both plaayoffs (relegation and promotion).
Kinda feel the team has just the right amount of lads in [positions where we can afford to rest some but have others almost equal to step up. Taken a while but happy to wait till next season for the push to the top tier.
Last weekends games were kind of similar. I went on to the Viewer to watch COW v HIBs. JUst after we went down 1-0 I swapped to Report and saw us equalise then go into the lead. Despite another leveller (from COW) we went on to sciore twice more and that helped the GD. No cautions as well was good but we realised it was Slater in our goals who got us over the line, making 5 saves to earn the MOM award.
Then we entertained top dogs ELG, and again we went to the Viewer and watched as we went 2 goals down. In disgust I moved over to the Report to speed up the game and saw us claw back not just 2 goals but a winner. All 3 goals came from forwards and we were good winners too. So from 2 bad spells earlier on which dropped us to 14th at one point we sit 7th - 4 points below KIL and SM with 2 games left.


Another 2 matches with mixed results but bottom line is the 2nd division is the place for excitement. We sit in 8th position after yesterday and only 4 points from a promotion playoff spot, yet we are only 3 points above an automatic relegation place. Having to keep eyes on the back of my head.
What helps us is having a positive goal difference (thinking more the bottom hal;f this time.
We went to Tannadice and Dundee United who duffed us up fair and square by 4-2. We were 3 goals own before we counted and 4-1 down when we scored our 2bnd consolation goal. At that point we had slipped to 11th.
We then hosted relegation threatened Annan Athletic and it was clear they had looked for something from the game (playing 75% against our 57%). We got stuck in and were 4 goals up by half time - the most clinical we have been for ages - and we split 2 goals in the 2nd half for a GD boost of +4 goals.
4 games left and I believe we will end up between the magic 7th - 10th spots thus avoiding both ends of the table. That is the plan. We will try to win but thinking we have left it too late, although I thhinjk the squad are in good shape overall.
