Still would have been better in the SPL without a doubt.

The news is bad but not surprising. If we could increase our season ticket sales by 500 to 1000, plus those who can afford it increase their TJF subs, I think we can ride this out. Certainly hope so.

Like most still coming to terms with what transpired yesterday. A huge opportunity missed. I see a few are predicting we won't be challenging next season. I'd like to think that doolan will build his own team in the style we have just witnessed. A big challenge of course. Clearly Dundee United should be strong....but their current team hardly world beaters. I suspect Inverness will be up there, but will we really be below morton; ayr and dunfermline? Who knows, but as many have said if the fans are as galvanised as of late, we can absolutely be challenging.

We were poor but could still have got over the line. Think our legs went tbh. I'm not going to blame any of the guys who missed a penalty. Hard to take.

One more...

Can't see Doolan changing it. Go with what has been working superbly. I think if we get the first goal they they crumble.

I'd have taken 2 nil before a ball was kicked. Ross County are not a good side. No reason not to be confident on Sunday.

Only 400 tickets left for home end. So that's looking like 7000 plus jags fans?

That's the spirit. Like all of us you can't guarantee diddly.....thankfully.

Let's just call it fate. Right place right time.

I think you may be over analysing things after a 8 3 victory. We don't do perfection......that's boring lol

Best to concentrate on the positives. We scored some fine goals and have been on a very good run of results. Ragdolled by county, Dundee United etc....have you watched them this season. Nothing to fear if....we get there.

Listening from afar on holiday. Glad I missed it as my ticker may have been struggling. We always do it the hard way....

He's only had 11 games. That was the point I was trying to make. It's definitely stupid to think he could have done much better in the circumstances. Nb the season is not finished.

Some slavering nonsense on here. Doolan has inherited a squad and we have lost one game in 11. What were people expecting? Like all managers he deserves time. In fact he deserves more. Simples and...we are probably actually where we deserve to be with this squad.

Aiden has played 31 games so far this season. I'd suggest he has had ample time to get up to speed.....the pre season issue not an issue

I know that Brownlie was at fault for the Ayr goal, but that is to miss the big picture in that AYR completely outplayed us from minute 20 to 85. I couldn't work out if it was deliberate on our part, or a bit of tactical nous by Ayr. We did look knackered too for some reason. Important to say though that the team form in last 10 games has been excellent, so maybe just a blip....

So the games next week look tasty. Ayr at home to QP. ICT at home to Dundee. Twists and turns still to come.

Only played for first 15 and last 5. Poor today. Play offs not guaranteed

Ah. Get what you were alluding to now lol.

I doubt it. Results have been close between the two teams and raith beat them in the challenge Cup a few months back.

The odds are in favour of Dundee winning this game, but given the unpredictable nature of this league I'm hoping raith might come up with a result. If they do it really does set up a helluva finish.

Dundee still have to play Morton, ICT and QP on the last day. I'm thinking this is going down to the last day....

Looks like there was a plan after all lol. Magnificent second half. All to play for now.

Two even teams. Actually enjoying it. Wee lawless best for us. Good crowd in too.
