Back on topic, this is the biggest game of the season, No 16, or thereabouts. 

A repeat of the 3-0 gubbing we handed them on their last visit would be just brad, but I feel they will fight tooth and nail for a point, so it's important we get that first goal and don't panic if it doesn't come quite early.

Last minute would be fine but I don't know if my old ticker can take it. 🙂

Don't think they'll play for a point. Bullen knows if they win, they're safe.

Front foot from the off and a decent backing from the NW I think we will win 3-1

1-1, Ayr with an early goal and we struggle to break them down in a similar way to the Morton Game. I would be interested to know how many of our goals have came in open play this year and havn't been shots from outside the box(I can think of two that Thomas has against Rovers and ICT which were both wonder strikes).

Donaldson against Hamilton a few weeks ago too.

I think we can score, however we are crap at holding onto a lead and can put ourselves under great pressure. Ayr will be looking at the game as a must not lose and we will be looking at this as a must win. it will be a nervy game

Fancy the Pars to take this one. We've been pretty good at home recently. Think there will be a decent noisy crowd there too.

[Piracy]

2-1 Dunfermline. 

[Rossmcno1]

First game I’ll miss live where there has been a crowd since pre covid.  
 

stick on 5-0 Pars win.

I also think a good 5-0 win is on the cards and with the additional factor of no Rossmcno1 a possible 6-0 win.

There is no way they will get past our goalie, not the way he is playing.

Must win, not overly confident but hopeful we can sneak the 3 points and get above Ayr on goal difference

I don't think it's so much about being crap at holding onto a lead, as a lack of confidence which comes with spending most of the season, close or at the foot of the table, S'Ally.  

Statistically, most teams who open the scoring, go on to win a game, but our league position leads to the players becoming anxious and nervous, putting themselves under unnecessary pressure by defending too deeply and conceding the initiative. No matter how much the manager may exhort his team to attack, fear can cause the opposite reaction.

Ayr, Partick and Raith at home have seen us buck that trend, let's fervently hope that continues tomorrow. 

[Number Eleven]

Game day and it’s a must win for our hopes of avoiding the playoffs. The upside is the a win puts the momentum (at least at home) firmly behind us.

 

[Piracy]

Game on. Please get us a win.
