Back to basics
View attachment 189882

A topsy-turvy month. We had a shocker for the first three games but a change in tactics and a timely free transfer turned it around for us

View attachment 189880

Good old 4-4-2

Jimmy Abdou
View attachment 189879

Came in and immediately made us look more solid in midfield. Built to break up play and recycle it

View attachment 189883

To only be three points off the playoffs is a miracle

View attachment 189872

4-4-2 has made us hard to beat (unless you're MortonXD) but we keep ****** drawing!!

View attachment 189871

I picked up this lad in the summer and injuries dictate that he gets games this month. If he carries on scoring goals and bombing into the box from deep he wont be out of the team for a while

Cup specialists in the making

View attachment 189869

We managed to scrape a draw with st. mirren and dispatched them well in the replay.Queen of the South tore us a new one in the league but the last game of the month was pretty special

View attachment 189868
WE HAVE MADE THE FINAL! Beating Two premiership teams on the way. We will play Rangers who are struggling in the Final.

View attachment 189867

Back to reality. Still 4 points off the playoffs and 14 points off Falkirk at the top

The exile returns. Been moaning about wanting out since day 1 but i needed a spark of creativity after the queen of the south game and he came in and was fantastic. Also made a last minute clearence off the line against Partick which kept us alive

Wins in the league?
(yes seriously)

View attachment 189865
3 wins in the league and a shoeing by aberdeen in the cup. The Dunfermline game was insane! 4-1 up at half time and 5-4 down on 90 minutes when 2 goals from Clarkson and Robinson snatched it.

Heart attack stuff

View attachment 189863

3 from 3 resulted in a nice award for my efforts. First bit of personal glory

View attachment 189862

We close the gap and actually go above Morton! I think the title is beyond us but we wont give up.

Another exile returns. Scored some important goals this month and seems to have calmed down.

March

bye bye title
hello playoffs?

View attachment 189859

Hibs killed our title challenge off for good. We gave a **** of a performance against rangers but just fell short. Even so to make the league cup final as a championship side gives me hope for the future when i can put my influence on the team and ship out the vast amounts of deadwood. Also, I was watching the snooker and completely forgot to get screenshots before the Falkirk game.

View attachment 189857

We went toe to toe and matched them. To lose on penalties is cruel but to put ourselves in that position is fantastic.

View attachment 189856

meh. You never know they might come good....

View attachment 189855

3 games to go and Morton are neck and neck with us.

In the Hibs game it could have been 10 but for Craig Samson. His performance in the Rangers game was out of this world. Key player for us going forward

May/June

Play off drama

View attachment 189769

2 good performances guided us past St.Mirren and set up a tie with Falkirk

View attachment 189768

A 3-2 defeat in the first leg left us in a position to build on. The second leg performance was outstanding and we moved on to the promotion play off with Partick Thistle, a team we knew we could match.

View attachment 189767

Madness. A 6-0 win in the first leg thanks to 4 goals from Theo Robinson sewed it up and it was relatively easy in the second leg and it showed with us putting in a flat performance in a 1-0 loss.. but who cares!

Bring on the Premiership!!
