´óÏó´«Ã½

Our latest target was to win our remaining four games of the season after our at the weekend. The manager came out in the paper and said so and so did the chairman and what do we do? We play Montrose at home three days later and can only muster playing against ten men for the majority of the match.

It's highly unlikely but not impossible for us to finish second bottom so I, for one, am delighted Harry has never boasted in public about finishing in the top four.

Talking about supporters, I've found it incredible some of the stick we've been given by fans of our opponents recently. Funnily enough it's been in our last two victories against Livingston and Montrose.

I'm not going to kid anyone on and tell you these were the prettiest victories you'll ever see but I thought we gave two very professional performances, against Livingston in particular.

In both games we got ourselves in front early on and I think we earned the right to sit back and become a compact unit and leave it up to sides to break us down. The way we set up was effective and we were quite entitled to play that way.

I'm sure every team goes out with the intention of scoring an early goal and getting a cushion, shifting the onus on to the other team - Livingston themselves have done it a right few times this season.

In the games immediately following those wins we've failed to get the early goals despite creating chances and have drawn blanks in our loss at Elgin and our draw with Montrose.

Both teams weathered the early storm and it's becoming a concern to Harry and Derek Townsley that we're struggling in a creative sense. A decision needs to be made whether the players are up to it next season or if others need to be brought in.

I'm going to finish this week with a couple of mentions.

First one goes to the four lads sitting at the table next to me and my partner, Laura in the on Saturday night. We were sitting having dinner and when Laura left for the toilet one came over to ask if I was, "that Chris Jardine off the ´óÏó´«Ã½". Apparently they had been debating amongst themselves while the game was on!!! I tried to deny all knowledge but I think the beard gave me away.

Finally, Chris Hegarty and I had a wee spat late on in Tuesday's game and after a slight disagreement with the Montrose man, Heggy told me to, "put that in your blog". So although we shook hands and had a laugh together at the final whistle I've stuck to my word but decided to miss out the obscenities! All the best for the rest of the season Heggy...
