Yeah was kind of the point I (poorly) tried to make. Carey should be that type, he's heavily experienced and has quality to win matches with moments of quality, but there's something lacking there and he doesn't drag a team through games like those in the past could.
Funnily enough this popped up today. Think it summarises your point perfectly:

I don’t recall a solo lap of honour from Davidson. I recall him waiting for Zander Clark and then staying glued to him like a velcro puppy while he did his lap of honour.
He ran up and down the middle of the pitch jumping in the air taking applause from the crowd.

Guess we have an interest in these ones as well:

Surely that's just basic management from McInnes?
Not having a dig at you but that's just the basics and we've missed it for years now.
Not only did McInnes know about our midfield shape but he said to the media days before the game he knew how we would play and also mentioned the players he was dropping for the game to deal with it! Just insane we just carried on into it.
The manager assessment of the team, is that a damming report of all those that were on the bench? If he didn't want to replace those playing poorly then he must think the subs are even worse.

I'm assuming it's not going to be behind closed doors, though most of the articles have read about it have been a bit vague. Fascinated to know how they're going to sort out tickets for it, unless they just allocate everyone a stand and let people sit where they want?
It would be hosted as a Dundee home game and Saints have said they have made contingency for the ticketing of both teams.

People were saying the same thing last time we were in the play-offs and we ended up beating ICT pretty comfortably. Those teams have scored their goals at a significantly lower level than the one we're playing at. Since the play-offs began, they've only been won three times by the Championship club. All the others have been won by the Premiership club.
I wouldn't exactly call myself confident about going into a play-off but we'd definitely be favourites and I think our chances would be decent.
You were comfortable? 😅
I still feel the way we emphatically ended that game added to Davidson staying on to cause more damage. Could not believe people were applauding him when he did his solo lap of honour, unless they believed they were saying goodbye?

I was on holiday in Lanzarote the game taking place during my return flight home. I was wearing my Saints top to travel walking down the aisle to my seat I felt someone grab me as I passed, it was Saints legend Paul Kane he suggested that I must be feeling awful I agreed and we had a nice chat for a wee while. Just as we landed in Edinburgh PK received a text turned round to me and shouted up the plane to me about 10 rows further back "they've f****n done it". I did get back to my home in Peebles in time to join the returning "Peebles Saints" fans in The Crown for a celebratory drink where we were joined by Stevie MacLean.
Ah the days when the taverns of Peebles were the number one source of in the know gossip. The glory days 😁

No pressure now the top six has been decided.

Hopefully the defence does something decent this season and helps Mitov get home with every single player of the year award!

Some interesting stats, usually they are quite bleak!

The defence was ok on Saturday so I don't feel the need to bring Gordon back in. I wouId be tempted to let that same 11 go again....maybe Carey for Max. I read somewhere that Matty Kennedy was up there as their player of the year and Armstrong always looks good so our wingbacks need to be on their game. Should be a good game and I think 3 points almost gets us safe...assuming Ross County don't get anything against Rangers.
I think I read that Gordon is injured and expected back after the split.

What chance of DFC being deducted 3 points for each time their ground has been unplayable this season?!!!!!!
Unlikely it would seem:
"There is precedent for top flight teams being fined over the state of their surfaces. Back in 2010, Motherwell were hit with a fine of £50,000 for the infamous Fir Park pitch, though it should be noted that was a largely sympathetic verdict from the SFA at the time who acknowledged they had recently invested heavily on undersoil heating and a new surface in a bid to improve it. £45,000 of that penalty was suspended and Leanne Dempster, Motherwell CEO at the time, praised it as a 'balanced and sensible approach.'
Dundee don't have the same obvious defence case to make and, accounting for inflation in the 14 years since, it seems likely the Dens Park club will face a harsher punishment if they are found in breach of league regulations."
Interesting views for Stuart Kettlewell, which I think ring true, Dundee spent money on players rather than the pitch:
"We played here on August 2 in the first game of the season and I came away and said to everybody wait and see the problems you are going to have here at Dens Park over the course of a season because the game was almost called off on the first day. What that is in essence, and I feel so strongly on this, when you invest that money it comes out my player budget."

Because it has affected Rangers ,Dundee will get hauled over the coals but a precedent was set with Motherwell and I think they only got a fine but I don't think they had 5 games called off.
The article on the BBC was scant with details about when the disciplinary kicked off but it seems it was only after the 4th time for that Rangers game that was to be on sky!
They should be docked points as they clearly invested in the squad rather than the pitch.

Going from what was said in the January window I would assume the management team are going to look to push May out at the end of the season?

What are the chances of the game v County being made our final game of the season?
-
Chris Kane won and converted A penalty for Dunfermline v Patrick.
And, of course, Taylor Stephen was at it again

I fear we will be 11th come the end of that first weekend and no faith this group can recover from that.
