Would be a loss , could be the start of our players possibly leaving in the summer! Would be surprised if we have tried to keep Dec and Halkett. We still have kelly Pittman and Byrne under contract? What about Jacobs? 

Only players out of contract afaik are Dec and Halkett. Jacobs has an extension clause as does Robinson. Byrne has another year

Think Lawless and Miller are up at the end of the season as well as Robinson but we have an option to extend his.

Robinson has an extension clause for x games played, could be why he's not in the team now if we want rid of him?

Imagine he'd be in the reserves if that was the case, at least give clubs a chance to have a look at him. 

Just speculating obviously but no one's really talked about his injury or talked about him being back. If it was bad surely we'd have heard about it?

There we go, Robinson back in training - either that or they're onto me :D Holt also said he's hopeful of keeping Gallagher beyond the summer, so, like I said - nothing signed yet. Just offers on the table for him

I don’t think the boost having players like Gallagher sign new contracts between now and the season’s end can be emphasised enough. Our form’s extremely patchy at the moment and there’s a real danger it could peter out quite miserably - getting some names confirmed for next year would be some welcome news.

I think we've really missed Robinson since he's been out, i'd def say he is an important player for us to try and keep for next season. Only thing against him is his injury record, but certainly adds something to the team when he plays.

Agree 100%. Very underrated player whether behind the striker or in a midfield three.

I'm please to hear so many positive comments about Robinson; I always thought him underrated; so often played out of position but never gives less than 100 percent.

The fact that he never gives up was one positive from our last visit to celtic park and his part in the making of the Dolly Menga goal against the rangers should not be underestimated.

We've certainly lost a bit of bite there and for a team to be missing both him and Jacobs means that we are significantly less effective up front.

Lawless is good going forward but is particularly poor defensively; Sibbald may be technically good but seems to be missing that fire and drive to go forward.Lawson has taken time fitting in but, from reports from those at Tynecastle last week he seems to be really settling in at last. 

Irrespective the prospect of both Robinson and De Vita both returning from injury makes things very interesting indeed. Tiffoney is the real wild card; has looked very good from what I've seen; just how good at this level though needs to be established.

Anyone with any answers to this slump!?

Ok, so maybe I’m in danger of ignoring the facts nowadays but I honestly think the performance slump ended with Tynecastle.

i thought we were more than competitive yesterday which is pretty remarkable considering we had 10 players for basically all of it. We were in a winning position and I think it’s fair to say that with Robinson’s chance we were close to making it comfortable (and 4 points off the top 6!). They had two on target and both in the postage stamp so Kelly had no chance. Other than that I didn’t think he was particularly busy. I don’t think Dundee would’ve scored in open play (not worth much admittedly as obviously just an opinion). Ref Decisions aside we should’ve killed them off. The answer? We just have to keep plugging away and doing what we’re doing. 

Do you think I am being unrealistic? I’m willing to discuss it :lol:

Have to agree with you here. I was all for a change of formation for the Hearts game but we stuck with the usual then and yesterday and I think our performances have picked up again. Think we could have went to win yesterday, or at least draw if Byrne doesn't get himself sent off. Robinson alongside Hardie should hopefully give us the attacking threat we've sorely missed so hopefully we can see more of them alongside each other in the next couple of games.

Our next 3 are Kilmarnock (H), St Mirren (A), and St Johnstone (H). If we've still not got a win after that then I'll start to worry again.

It’s maybe not a bad thing that people are worried. It says to me that we’ve set a high bar and that people think we shouldn’t be losing to Aberdeen, Hearts, St Johnstone, Rangers. I would have to agree that losing to this Dundee and to an extent Motherwell isn’t great but keep the faith folks :thumsup2

Top 6 is gone after yesterday sadly.

I think we just have to continue plugging away to 40 points, then work on a system for next season in the remaining games. I don't see 3-5-2 as the long-term solution if we lose two of the three centre backs.
