As unpalatable as it is to want Scumdee to beat anyone - needs must!

Aye! Absolute lunacy that some folk are saying a draw is the best result as it keeps both of them within touching distance. No chance! County are in free fall - that’s 7 they have LOST on the bounce. Not 7 without a win, 7 losses!

If we win get 4 points from the next 2 games, I think we leapfrog them and will beat Livi in the play offs!

COYS!!!

FotMob has it at 4(24%), 6(27%), 9(24%) and 3(25%) accurate crosses against Ross County, Kilmarnock, Motherwell and the second half of the Dundee United game, respectively. 

3(30%), 0, 3(27%) and 6(35%) against Celtic, Hibs, Aberdeen and Dundee respectively.

McPake has been given an assist for the Watt goal yesterday too, which points him on 3 assists. Nobody has more in the league this season for us and only Carey matches his tally.

I remember shouting at McPake at the Killie game for him to go past the guy on the outside . Even if you don't get a cross in because you are not happy on your left at least the defender doesn't know if you are going back on your right. Yesterday, what a difference, he went past his man on the outside and put crosses in with his left quite a lot. Apparently Simo was concerned that he was a one trick pony and has been working with him. If he can improve McPake that much then we may have a good coach after all.

It may just be that the County right back was crap compared to the Killie right back.

Nope but Simo bloody deserves one for what he has done to Josh McPake alone.

Not sure I have ever seen a transformation so stark from a Saints signing ever!

I’d have had him released in January as he was a burden on the wage bill… and now I can’t quite see how we would ever score against Hearts on Wednesday without him. Unbelievable!

I might be getting carried away but yesterday a couple of his runs reminded me a bit of prime(2014) Michael O’Halloran.

Seams tae be coached intae them go inside rather than outside, you see it in nearly every game.

We have taken 10 points in our 4 games against Ross County, nearly a third of our total. Put another way, 22 points from 32 games against the rest.

Cripes, where would we be without RC!!

And it would have been 12 points against RC if Saints stupidly hadn't lost two goals in stoppage time in the 3-3 draw earlier in the season. I remember thinking at the time that these lost 2 points could have a big effect on our season.

We would be above them on goal difference if we had held on for the win. If we do go down this season there are so many games where tiny little things have been punished and made such a difference.

That's the frustrating thing. Even not getting points against United , Motherwell and Killie is the reason we will probably go down. How could you go into those games with lack of effort.

Also if we go down on goal difference we can point to lack of killer touch when we were in control of games.

We can also count on our keeper woes early doors this season for our goal difference

We all know that if we hadn't been run like a poor pub side, with the Landlord as a Manager, and a shambles in the Boardroom, we might have been OK.

The time for big change was following the Kelty result but again, as everyone knows, this was allowed to continue for way too long, until Webb finally took over.

We need to make a hell of a noise on Wednesday night and hope the gods are on our side.

A massive rallying to arms call in the away dressing room is required.

Will it be enough.

Give it a real go lads!
