Our season in a nutshell today. Played pretty well, created the better chances (without a draw actually being unfair though) but didn't have the cutting edge to get us over the line. Difficult to judge too much given the lowered stakes involved but I thought the defence did well throughout.
With Ayr and Dunfermline playing each other the lowest we can now finish is 6th, but any sort of last minute, heartbreaking goal to consign Inverness and their assorted pellets (Gardiner; Ferguson) to the play-offs and relegation would be a lovely send-off.
In the big picture we've had a decent season - excellent in cup competitions, both financially and in performance terms. Given the losses to the first team last summer I'm not surprised we had to just consolidate our position in the end - I'd have expected that before a ball was kicked. But with both Airdrie and Partick sitting on entirely achievable points totals, the lost opportunity can't be overlooked either. Losing fully half of our home league games is ultimately what has cost us - each of those lost was effectively a six-point swing to another team in the division.
