As poor as we have been, surely even we can't fail to gain enough points from what is a very favourable run in to the split. St Johnstone (home) St Mirren (away) Dundee (away) Motherwell (away) Ross County (home) Livingston (away) Dundee (home) Even being pessimistic I'd still expect a minimum of 15 points from that which may be enough to make the top six. There is simply no excuse in losing to this St Johnstone team. If Warnock can't even win this then sack him tomorrow and give it to Kris Boyd just to really mess with us.

The charlatan has to go now. He's not up to it and we'll end up relegated if we don't act. He's not taking it seriously, and shouldn't be here. He obviously thought he could just turn up and wing it. What a fucking embarrassment. He's taking the piss out of our club and every Dons fan.

This has got echoes of the season hubs went down with butcher.

Will he want to play in the championship next season though?

Yep. That's fixed it.

We should be able pick up enough points from those games to avoid threat of relegation. But I would be very surprised to see us pick up 15. We would really need to turn a corner for that to happen.

We neither have the option to not give Warnock a chance, nor the time to give him a chance. The entire point in Warnock is the immediate reaction, that's what he does. That's what Robson did last season. If we don't get the bounce, then we have nothing with Warnock, as he very much said himself with his "not my type of team" comment. The way we beat St Johnstone is by being better at football than them. Moving the ball quickly, getting it through the midfield quickly, drawing them out and dragging them around. In other words, avoid the majority of the physical battle, apart from in the one or two areas that those things matter, where we've got enough between Shinnie, Devlin, MacKenzie, Gartenmann that we can be aggressive in winning the ball back. It's about not playing to the strengths of a more physical team by fucking about with long throws, long punts, free kicks punted into the box from our own half and running away from the goalie with your back to him so he's got nobody to release. The exact opposite of the Kilmarnock game. If Warnock's experience doesn't lead him towards a different way of winning football games, then he's clearly not good enough, and his comments were bordering on unforgivable. We're missing the presence of Rubezic a lot more than expected it has to be said. Is there any suggestion as to when he might return?
