A week in football is a long time. A phrase often said, let’s attribute it to Shankly, who maybe didn’t invent it, but gets most quotes attributed to him , and he did have a few belters.
Never has it been so prevalent to us than the last 8 days.
Going into the semi we were bottom of the league. The gunts were showing some decent league form, the ugly sisters couldn’t be trusted to put the right bins oot, we had a new manager who couldn’t catch a break.
The knives were out for McKay, Kerr was useless and scoring og’s for fun, Mayor was written off, Newell was finished and had been for 18 months. We were the lowest scorers in the league. Our creativity was zero, our forwards just didn’t look up to it ( maybe Elding gave us a bit hope to cling onto at best) Our two best midfielders in Chaiwa and Mulligan were posted missing most weeks. We were preparing ourselves for a season of a relegation battle. The support was split, we had just sacked a man we all loved.
Fast forward 8 days, and oh what a different picture and atmosphere around the place. Last Sunday Mayor was being hailed as potentially the best full back we have had for years. Kerr looks like a trusted leader, Klidge has given us all a note of optimism, Mulligan and Chaiwa look like the laddies of last year. Joe Newell is the best midfielder in the league, and has just bossed the midfield to see us have two of the best victories we have seen in years.
The gunts were 5 down against the mighty Falkirk at the PBS, and the feeling for us is every game is in the winnable category.
It’s a strange game for sure. Very strange, and why we are all addicted.
It could and will all, change again, but I think the Hibee’s are on the up, and the gunts are about to implode. Beating them at Hampdump, is just not good for them .
Bring it on
