    Given the quality of Sidibeh and Keltjens, and to a lesser extent Kimpioka, I have reasonable confidence that if we manage to stay up this season (which I think we will - 10th place), Levein has an eye for a player, and the contacts to ensure we can have a decent squad next season and be more like 7th/8th finishers. We have some high earners whose contracts will be finishing in the summer, and some older players who will be moving on.
    Both Livi and Ross County are likely to lose their final game before the split (against Hearts and Rangers respectively). We have a really good opportunity at home against Killie to pull 7 points ahead, which would then make it very hard for Ross to catch up.

    Couldn't do anything about Phillips, but I do think we need to sell Mitov whilst his stock is high. Nightmare to lose him, but better getting a fee than losing him for free the year afterwards.

    Given his ability, I would hope we'd be looking for £1 million for him at least.

    I cant see a change being made this season. Levein was brought in to keep us in the league and at this moment in time we are evidently in a better position in the leagues than when he came in. Come this Saturday at 5pm we will have a better indication of where we are at. Really need to be looking for two much better performances than what we have seen since our return from the winter break. A win against Livi on Saturday is a must. 
    I can see us finishing 11th. Cowie has come across well in his interviews and the likes of Dhanda, Murray, White and Brophy are all capable of scoring goals. I would have absolutely no confidence going into a play off game against the likes of Morton or Raith with this bunch of players. We would get bullied all over the place. 
    As has been mentioned, given Levein a three year deal seems madness. After being burnt with Macca on a three year deal, surely the club should have learnt a lesson.

    I'm not sure what you expect really. We're in 10th place, Hearts are comfortably in 3rd. It was a close game, with both teams playing defensively, won by a player who is too good for the team that won. Not so long ago we were getting pumped 4-0 by the might Stirling Albion. Only just losing 1-0 to Hearts, I'm quite content with.

    I find it hard to argue with this.
    Some people are getting ahead of themselves with their aspirations. The main objective this season is to stay in the league. If we do stay up and we are still not making any progress under Levein I'll understand the critisim.

    Yeah, I'd rather be frustrated that we could've won rather than look like League 1 material, which we were before. The fact that we are frustrated is a sign of progress.

    I think there were a lot of positives last night - we held our own against a team that are comfortably the 'best of the rest'. If it wasn't for a moment of magic, they wouldn't have won. They shut down after that and it was too difficult to break them down.
    Olufunwa has always looked completely lost when I've seen him, but actually was quite decent last night. Keltjens is obviously much better than him, but he looked like an ok back up.
    We were missing quite a few. Kimpioka caused the problems, and the other new striker was at least willing to get some shots away.
    It's not great football, but we're grinding out decent performances and results. In our last 5 games, the only teams that have got more points than us are the OF, Hearts, Motherwell and St. Mirren. I think we'll finish the season in a comfortable 8th or 9th

    I agree with him.
    Jephcott is a poacher who stays in the box and knocks them in. We need strikers like Kane, who can draw fouls and muscle their way up the pitch, or like Kimpioka, who have the pace to run onto a long ball.

    Hang on a second. You’re going to give up supporting the club because we might be buying a striker that, according to rumours, League One clubs were also interested in? Seems a bit extreme

    I mean, when you look at the league results since Levein took over, we have only lost against teams in the top 4. That's pretty impressive actually considering we hadn't won at all in the league before he arrived.
