First quarter short review, it looks like the Diamonds are standing still where most were hoping for some sort of improvement.
I would prefer to deal in facts rather than personal opinion.
Season 2005-2006

Season 2004-2005
| Pld | W | D | L | F | A | GD | Pts | Rank | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 7 | 8 | -1 | 7 | 7 | |
| 4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 5 | 10 | -5 | 4 | 11 | |
| 10 | 3 | 2 | 5 | 12 | 18 | -6 | 11 | 7 |
So we are two points down on last season and have a better goal difference, last season at this time we were complaining about the number of goals we were letting in, this year their is a vast improvement.
We have a very young team that needs experience and they will get it, over the past few weeks we have managed to hold our own against Hamilton, Ross County, Dundee, St Johnstone and St Mirren.
The disappointment is the games against the remaining four, no fight and a complete disaster against Clyde, Stranraer, Queen of the south and we only managed a draw against Brechin.
We need to start fighting it's that simple, if we have players in this team that need motivating to make themselves play for the club dump them it's that simple. If they are not willing to fight for 90 minutes on a Saturday then during the window in January get rid.
