What difference a year makes??
So, after the first round of matches (9 games):
2016-17
W4 D3 L2
F15 A10 (GD +5)
Position = 4th
Points = 15
Leaders = 18 (+3)
2017-18
W5 D2 L2
F10 A9 (GD +1)
Position = 4th
Points = 17
Leaders = 21 (+4)
Same place (4th), goals record significantly poorer and despite being 2 points better off compared with 12 months ago we are actually further behind the leaders than we were last year. Judge me on my own squad was the cry.
Don't mind if I do ray - off you must fuck!

Re: What difference a year makes??
Should be considerably better given (a) no team of Hibs calibre in division (b) apparently we have a better squad/better bench and got rid of so-called duffers (c) Ray now has "his" own squad and (d) we now are experienced campaigners in the Championship.
Rays win rate might be acceptable if we were playing against teams like the Ugly Sisters, Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen etc but it is sub standard for the level of teams we are up against.

Re: What difference a year makes??
Ha ha ha - just read it
We can't win 6-0 every week (and especially in the games where we have zero shots on target)
We cant play brilliantly every week - but say once in your 71 games in charge would at least be a start
Frank, Nick, Tony are settling in nicely (at other clubs/retirement homes)
There is a real feel good factor at the club (however this quickly disappears as soon as the ref starts the game)
The players now know whats expected in the Championship (but we might hang around here for a few years more just to be sure)
We're in 4th place just points behind the leaders and ready to kick on (to finish in 3rd place and fail in the play offs)
Utter tosh

Re: What difference a year makes??
McKinnon is an utter fraud and unfortunately we will be stuck down here for another season at least unless he moves on one way or the other asap.
I've said it before and i'll say it again. We can't afford to be anything other than 1st place this season.

Like your comments Annan! 
The article is a bit embarrassing reading it a year on isn't it?

If the penny has dropped even with guys like Mr Twat then McKinnon's days are numbered indeed.

I was optimistic at the start of the season (despite witnessing the pish of the previous campaign). I'm sure posts from them could be produced to highlight my predictions were a bit off.
However I defy even the most optimistic of supporters to make a reasonable case for keeping ray.
I never seen such a unanimous backing for getting rid of one of our managers.
I take no pleasure in this.
I just want to go back to enjoying watching my team in the top flight with my young lad. It's not too much to ask.

I wish he still posted. Liked his opinions as they were from an honest point of view with the team and clubs best interests at heart over his own self importance which is rare on social media and keeping in with the cliques.
Folk went over the top IMHO after he posted about his meeting with Southern. Not surprised at all that he sent this year later clip to Pat.
