The difference in my team's performance from Wednesday night to Saturday afternoon brings the words chalk and cheese to mind.
Our at home to Albion Rovers last week ranks with one of our worst performances since we came in to the .
Three days later and we have comfortably - a team we previously couldn't buy a win against - 2-0 on their own patch. Football certainly is a funny old game.
Once again, I have to commend our manager, Harry Cairney, for the way he dealt with our defeat. Personally, I'm not a fan of dissecting a performance immediately after the game, but perhaps at our level we don't get the time to do it any other way.

After the late call-off of our weekend game with Albion Rovers, we were looking forward to our re-arranged home fixture against Forfar on Wednesday night. Surprise, surprise, my phone has just went off and it was always going to be our manager telling us once again that the match has .
If we're being honest, we were never that confident that the game would go ahead. We trained on Monday night and the pitch was still completely frozen.
Although there was an improvement on Tuesday, as soon as I walked out the house at 0630 in the morning, unfortunately the decision was only going to go one way.
