Megwa appears to be a fantastic player. Can't believe Hibs will loan him out next season especially if your in the same league. Sometimes it was warranted last night, but he does seem to go down very easily.

I would expect the appointment (or not) of a Dir. of Football would have been part of Davidson's discussions

Believe he changed to a back 3 for the new year Patrick game. Clearly I don't know but I did wonder, after his appointment, whether Davidson had been offering advice prior to him taking over officially. Either way without Nuijten beating Dunfermline we'd have been in trouble.

Can anyone draw any conclusions from that?

Safe at last, not that I had any doubts. The extent of the achievement by Davidson and the team cannot be underestimated. To finish 8th despite Davidson having the third highest points per game of current managers shows how much of a mess our Dutch friends left. Will probably divide opinion but, for me, I think Davidson saving us from relegation eclipses Coyle getting us promoted.

That's ok, we've got this

Ayr 1 2 Dunfermline Dundee Utd 3 1 Partick Thistle Inverness 1 2 Morton Queen's Park 2 1 Airdrie Raith Rovers 3 0 Arbroath

Difficult to pinpoint (for me) but middle to bottom (excel Arbroath) of the league has been very tight - one game to go and we can still finish anywhere from 7th to 9th. The Dutch duo left us in a real mess and we lack squad depth meaning injuries can give us a problem. Not sure about the loss of McPherson but losing Thomas for 3wks seems to have been huge but then we can play badly with him in the team so who knows.

Not the worst position to be in. Airdrie already secured fourth and third requiring; Airdrie victory, Partick loss, turn around 10 goal shortfall. Not impossible but hopefully Airdrie see going for it as too much of a risk at this stage and will now focus on the play-offs by resting their key players. Also Morton have still to secure 5th with Dunfermline or Ayr able to catch them - hopefully they will be up for the Inverness game. Always liked Morton ........

Assuming results go our way today (looking at last night) we're gonna need a big favour from you next week to stay up. Am sure we got him on a 3 year deal with a view to selling him at some point so if you have the cash .......

Yep, the last 4 games are a worry. Veldman will definitely be remembered but doubt his manager of the month award will be the reason .

Granted the squad is stronger however still no depth but not sure I agree Davidson is doing no better a job. Veldman only managed 13pts from 14 games (PPG - 0.93) whereas Davidson currently has 20pts from 15 games (PPG - 1.33). Although still not great Davidson's points per game are over 40% better than Veldman from a similar number of games. I realise that points per game is compounded by numerous ifs, buts and maybes, however over 36 games this difference would likely have seen us safe already being that it equates to an additional 14pts.

Airdrie 1 2 Dundee Utd Arbroath 0 2 Queen's Park Dunfermline 1 1 Inverness Morton 1 2 Raith Rovers Partick Thistle 3 1 Ayr

Would assume we agreed 3 year contract to benefit from selling him on at a profit. As I recall Ayr and us were the main front runners.

You may be right but his contract runs till June '26 so we'll be due a decent fee.

Doubt Veldman would have the contacts to have had any of the first three on his radar. I am in no doubt that his stubbornness and ridiculous tactics would have had us relegated already.

Think it would be good for Dunfermline if they took their frustration from today out on Inverness next week ................... please !

Am hoping the last 3 weeks were part of some cunning plan

Will try but depends which QP turns up

Thanks to Raith, back in our own hands now. Never in doubt ...........

Sensational save.

Wish I was as confident
