Its been a strange few months. One week we will win 4-5 nill then the week after we stab ourselves in the foot and draw. Don't even remind me about St Mirren's sneaky win in October. However we seem to of got the ship steady again with good results against St Mirren and Aberdeen. 5 tough weeks face us. Starting tomorrow against Hearts and ending on the 27th against Celtic.
I don't even need to tell you the importance of these coming fixtures which include Hearts, Celtic, Dundee Utd and Hibs. 2 at Ibrox, 2 away. Plus what SHOULD be an easy game at Ibrox against Hamilton. All are must win games, no excuses. If we are being serious about getting the title back home, we must win all 5 games. Harder said than done but with the form that we have shown in the 5-0 caining of Killie etc. we do have the ability to win all 5.
The key to this coming month is the very thing that Celtic got blasted for this week when they lost to Alborg..........mental toughness. The players need to get their heads into gear and focus on a long battle ahead. Ignore any past blunders and just focus on the positive and the can-do attitude. With this, we over come the coming challenges. There are no more international breaks to invade our or anybody elses form, so this should no longer be a factor.
I find the loss of Thomson a real blow......I know everyone have different opinions of him but I think he is a major asset in our team and will do the dirty stuff i the midfield. Barry coming back is of course a positive however its not much help unless he finds that form that put him in the hall of fame.
Thank god though for the Boyd/Miller partnership. They just seem to go perfectly together. Last time I saw a strike team work so well together was the Novo/Prso duo and we all remember how effective they were the season we last won the league. Long may they score for fun.
Lets hope for a win tomorrow. The away games are the ones I'm most concerned about and Hearts will be tough to overcome. Also Dundee Utd always seem to do us over when we play them away. Good results this month and we're back into this. Win all the games and we're back to a point behind celtic (if no-one does us a favour)
We Are The People
PS. Watch out........Greig's back on the coach soon. Finally scrapped the Saturday shift that I couldn't get rid of. Only took it in the first place to stop me from being bored during the pre-season
