brought our six-match unbeaten run to an end and has left us with a bit of a mountain to climb if we are to get ourselves in to a play-off place.

With only nine games left, it's going to be very difficult to make it in to that top four. Prior to Saturday's defeat, everyone at the club was well aware of the importance of the next three fixtures.

I read in the press that our chairman was looking for a maximum of nine points from those games but I think our performance showed that we should still only be looking to our next game and not beyond.

After Saturday's , I was really looking forward to writing my blog this week - until I remembered we still had to face league leaders Livingston beforehand.

I was a little worried about our recent good work being undone, but I needn't have worried; the lads are playing with self-confidence right now and it's showing during games.

Well, I must admit that if you had told me after our that we would be unbeaten in our next four fixtures, with two wins and two draws, I would have politely bitten your hand off!

That being said, I don't think we are being too greedy in saying that it could, and most probably should, have been the maximum 12.

It's amazing what a couple of positive results do for your football club. Everyone is walking around with a smile on their face and a spring in their step, the supporters are hanging around after games chatting away to the players and even the chairman has been back to his normal self the last couple of weeks.

I've never really noticed it too much until recently, but us players achieve on the park really affect everyone associated with the club. That's possibly more to do with the fact that I've been playing a lot of games this season. I've noticed how people's attitude towards you alters depending on how you've done on the park on a Saturday.

I don't think I noticed it too much last year because I was so far out of the picture, so it was the same old thing for me most weeks. But, now that I'm playing, it's incredible how things change in and around the club depending on results and performances.

There are obviously different people coming to watch our games now from when we were in the , as well as the supporters who have been watching us for years, and I think expectations are sometimes too high.
