A Balanced Perspective

Outsiders looking on from afar would make the assumption that a team that's drawn so many must be solid and consistent. The contrariness of football is that we've drawn all those games yet been badly inconsistent. 

Yeh, it’s been a very odd one that’s for sure.

What a time it would be to find a bit of positive consistency.

I’m sure this will go down well with Celtic and their fans. Manufacturing a move to us?

He’s not wrong is he?!

If anything it’s probably poorer!

Some of them sides in the bottom half don’t compare at all.

Not wrong in any way, shape or form once you take the top two away......We totally outclassed Hibs in pre-season who finished third last season. Players like Nlundulu,John and Iredale who could not hold a regular spot here are enjoying more game time up there. Taylor will never play for us again but he also played regularly for St Mirren

Presume you mean top 3 now?  I'd agree the standard of the Scots Prem is on a par with L1 from 4th down - but the top 3 do exist, and are obviously above L1 standard.

The rest of the league wouldn't hold their own in the championship clearly, they are L1 all day long, backed up by the standard of player they sign (St Mirren in particular!).

Hard to judge it on a pre-season friendly to be fair, if we're looking at one off matches that aren't in the league, Swindon would have walked to promotion from L1 looking at our game there, and we can't say we weren't trying any more than Hibs could in a friendly.

Hearts maybe a one off, but Tony Bloom [Brighton Owner] has invested  in them so yes it may be a top 3 now
