...in the month of February. :rolleyes:

Against winless-since-October Ayr United, winless-since-October Raith Rovers and bottom-half-and-not-very-good-Dunfermline.

This better not cost us, somehow. If United (or Morton or Falkirk) starting picking up some real form we could be in trouble with the kind of performances we saw today. We can't let the derby distract us from the league, like it clearly has in the past few weeks.

We'd be 13 points ahead right now if we'd won all three. Even winning just two would've put us at an almost unassaible 11.

Totally agree. Our league form has been atrocious this month. It's too easy to hide behind the "aye but we're still 7 clear" retort. We are lucky that, as of yet, no one else has consistently put a string of wins together. We've got to pull it together starting on Wednesday. Don't want another season of relying on other teams to keep dropping points.

We are fortunate in that other teams chasing our coat tails are dropping points too, a 7 point gap isn't a big enough comfort blanket in my book

"Not very good Dunfermline"

They've got their act together and are in a false league position IMO. They were excellent today.

Some perspective please.

It should be seven points dropped from nine, as we were very lucky to salvage a point today.

They are littered with journeymen who haven't had one successful stint at any club. We made them look good with the way we defended. Dunfermline had 55% of possession because we tried to play like we did against Hearts and hit them on the counter attack. Their defence was abysmal and gave away two goals in sharp time, only for us to then capitulate completely of our own making. The only "excellent" thing they did was discover that if you run at our defence they can just fall apart.

Agree . Best team that's played against us at ER this season.

Yup, we should still be beating them but they've lost 1 in 15 so at least they are
"Qiuite good Dunfermline." They also had a serious go which makes a change.

We're obviously going to limp out this league (ie rather than scoosh it). But limp out of it, we shall..

I agree. We haven't been very convincing, but the rest haven't been able to get near us. We'll win the league this year, our involvement in the cup will dictate how easily.
