We Can't Keep Dropping Points

There’s a real sense of frustration here. The main point is simple: if we persist with those below-par performances, the points will continue to slip away. It’s not hyperbole — it’s a pattern that needs calling out.

Managerial noise and how people read it

People keep pointing to the opponent’s managerial changes and how that’s affected results. Fair enough — the narrative is that they started with Rodgers, had a shake-up that turned things round, then another change that derailed some of that momentum. Whether or not every result stacks up exactly as some claim, the wider point stands: other teams have had upheaval and injury issues and still managed to pick up points.

Injuries, squad depth and excuses

Yes, they’ve had key players out for stretches. Nobody’s denying that. But that doesn’t erase the reality that we’ve been dropping points against sides we should be beating. You can’t lean on the fixture list or training time forever — results matter. We’ve seen draws or poor wins where we should’ve dominated. That leaves you wondering about selection, intensity and mentality on the day.

Fixtures, form and what we expect

Now we’re mostly on one game a week and have more training time. You’d expect a response. Instead, so far, performances haven’t flipped. Games like Livi, Hibs and that one against a ten-man Motherwell feel like missed opportunities rather than bad days at the office. To be fair, every side has bad spells, but the problem is consistency. If we’re serious about staying in the race, grinding out the easy wins and tightening up against struggling teams has to happen — and soon.

Truth is, this isn’t about blaming one thing. It’s about being honest: form, focus and squad management all need to improve. The supporters deserve better than watching points drip away.
