Cobra Posted 15 February 2020 Author Report Share Posted 15 February 2020 That's more like it. We've come to terms with United winning the league so there is zero pressure and expectation. Might as well have a go and see what happens. If anything could restore the Deefiant spirit on and off the park it's an unlikely late title charge this season. How the hell did we come back from that 25-point penalty after losing half our squad? It went from impossible to inevitable when we decided to have a crack. Even if United do get their act together as expected no team will want to face us in the play-offs if we're flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Sensible Posted 15 February 2020 Report Share Posted 15 February 2020 The sad thing in all this is that we are 20 points behind a bang average side, been saying it all season....criminal from us. there next 3 games are interesting mind you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gedee Posted 15 February 2020 Report Share Posted 15 February 2020 Watching their game last night they certainly didn't look like a team surging further ahead & wiping out all & sundry in front of them . And their Wonder Man Shankland was probably more noted night, for what he didn't do. Like probably everyone else, I believe they've got this division well sown up .... But I think their complacency (cockiness) might soon be starting to take a knock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkBlueKnight Posted 15 February 2020 Report Share Posted 15 February 2020 I’ve thought it all season - they have had a momentum since the start norme from a settled team while rivals have floundered. Now they are being found out - one man team, some poor results . Reality starting to dawn . I agree with the sensible idea that they will get over the line. But as I said earlier in the season , a season of pain and misery awaits. Sides in this division are taking points off them - the sides in the premiership will blow them away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reverend Lovejoy Posted 15 February 2020 Report Share Posted 15 February 2020 7 hours ago, Deewee said: I honestly think they are a one man team. Their entire style of play (quite rightly) is set up to get the ball up to him in and around the box. With Clark already injured, if something happens to Shankland they are relying on Sow, a man who has scored 11 goals in the last 4 years. Rakish Bingham too.

ThelegendthatisBeto Posted 15 February 2020 Report Share Posted 15 February 2020 Their arrogance has caught up with them, they think they just need to show up for 3 points. If we had a better manager for the squads that's at mcpakes disposal we would be closer if not ahead at this point of the season imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alloa played the better football last night and with Shankland beginning to miss chances they are being exposed for what they are a very poor side in a league that is average at best. Even Seigriest, if that is the way you spell it, has not been great this season and he is their best player. Will they stumble? With this team there is a great possibility and you could almost smell the fear last night from manager down to the players. They are afraid, very much afraid. The bottom line is they ought to get it over the line, but teams are no longer scared of them and that is a big worry for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with almost everything iain but they will be champions no doubt about it as the point margin is too great and even if they did go on a serious slump neither Inverness or ourselves are strong enough or consistent enough to claw back anything like the points needed to really worry them. Had there only been a 10 point margin then it might have been a different story because as you say United are less than bang average in fact they're sh**e Edited 15 February 2020 by Wackyjim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
