Fair to say our recent history in televised games has been far from turgid. We might just win this this. If we do.....DU and Goodwin could crumble. Let's hope so.

We were poor today bar a 15 minute spell in first half. If we're not third best football team.....( 7 points ahead of 4th ) I'd be surprised.

Awful second half. Very lucky to get a point. Conditions weren't great but Inverness managed to play in them.

Are you Derek Adams?

Did you use a 5 bar gate system or your fingers?

Think we need to look at things in the round. Doing better this season that I thought we might. Frustrating I agree that we have lost a few games we should have won, but tell you what it's entertaining stuff. If we beat dunfermline next week ( not easy ) 3 points from two games in Fife would be decent. We shall see.

Always room for satire on this site I'd say. I'd also respectfully suggest that JJ has clearly attempted to belittle the efforts of TJF at every turn.

4 wins on the bounce. Momentum.

One day you may run out of well thought out posts.

Considering how much TJF members have put into the club over the last 2 years, its only right and proper that some of the money is "gifted" to those members. I fight it baffling that some could turn a positive into a negative, albeit it seems very much a minority view.

Had a horrible feeling we'd get them. Time to make some amends.....

Williams done some good things today but he is not a left back.

How to win ugly. We were poor 2nd half. As for Graham utter stupidity and not for the first time....

By all accounts we we played very well last week and could have scored far more than 3. Why change a winning team, albeit it is possible mcmillan may go straight back in?

This has the feeling of the cove home game last year. Win it and we should only be looking up. I'm not contemplating any other possible scenario....

Great result with many of us not expecting it. Let's hope we can push on. 3rd place after a third of the season gone.

If and when we nosedive to the bottom I'm sure you will come and tell us....after you have pulled your trousers back up. But....if our form picks up will you be magnanimous.....absolutely no chance.

It's not reality. Is it? We are no where near the bottom. The league table don't lie....as you often point out when we are below 4th.

What league table are you looking at?

I'd take a draw. Arbroath were far better than us last time out, but you never know....

Yep. 3rd place.

So what would you do differently, given the known financial position and remember what transpired a mere few months ago? Doolan has had one transfer window and clearly his options were limited. If they weren't we would have held on to the four key players who left! I'd agree with you that the team are not living up to the pre season expectations, but that's football. I'm not sure it is a factor but I suspect what happened in the play offs continues to have a mental impact on those players that remain. They are human after all.... Hopefully if we go on a strong run that confidence and performance level may return. There remains a long long way to go.

Nobody wants to see us just rebuilding, but I think most fans have pragmatism about challenging Dundee United for the title. It's been laid bare over the last week in particular that we are simply not good enough to finish first. The question is even if we make the play offs, can we improve enough to make our way through them ( not looking good at the moment but who knows in 7 months time ) I don't think we are deliberately trying to sign mediocre players.... ( agree we have ) and it's not clear at all that Mitchell is better than sneddon.

Watched the last 20 mins on stream ( not the best )....but we looked god awful.

The key issue is the players we lost we were unlikely to replace like for like. So it's not that simple. My expectation remains the play offs and if we achieve that it will be viewed as a success by most.
