St Mirren are the form team in the Championship over the past 10 games.
Raith Rovers will be worried by it now. However Saints have a tough run of games towards the end of the season.
Both have Morton to play and Hibs. They play each other in the second last game which I think St Mirren will need to take home advantage and win as the final week sees Raith play Ayr while St Mirren visit Hibs
Raith will be looking at that last game as a chance to get above St Mirren at the death. However if results don't go their way an Ayr win that day could see Saints finish bottom and relegated
Ayr have Dundee Utd, Morton, Hibs and then Raith for their final games
Fancy St Mirren to do well. Still can't believe they are where they are in the league. They're a decent team. I can see them picking up some unexpected wins and pulling clear of danger.
I thought there was a real lack of urgency about the team after we went one up. Murray was really unlucky not to score what probably would have been goal of the season for Utd just after his opener, then Andreu's shot just scraped past, after that though we seemed to stop trying to play. It was really annoying, they seemed to be more up for it. Even at one all everything we did happened slowly, Bell never released the ball quickly despite the fact we knew Murray had their defence panicked with his pace, we were taking our time over throws etc. Really frustrating - a draw suited them much more than it suited us. Think Dunfermline are coming to Tannadice off the back of some good reults aren't they? Worrying for me is that, although we have a game in hand, QotS are only six points behind us. Just saying...

I didn't like the fact we settled for the draw in the end, although after the equaliser only one team looked like winning and they weren't wearing tangerine.
Forgot about the Murray effort. Brilliant strike and deserved a goal.
St Mirren away to Morton tomorrow night
might go down
Was quite funny reading Falkirk fans complain about Houston's tactics. Play for a draw, lose a goal then bring on the subs that should have started and end up with a draw. Sounds familiar. You'd think by now that he'd have learned if he started with a team looking to win, he might actually win.
Anyway, amused me to learn that we still have the best home record in the league, despite our recent run of terrible form. As for the future - when was the last time we had two players that could genuinely play on the wing well? Russell and Mackay-Steven maybe? 4 years ago!
Read this on the FootyMad website which I think is very valid.
I think a 'clear' distinction has to be made between 'home results' and 'home form.'
Apart from the Partick game early in the season, most of our home results were due to a measure of luck, winning ugly, grinding out results, etc. In reality our home playing form has been little different from our away playing form. However, we have been very fortunate in that our home playing form over the season (not pleasant on the eye and very worrying) has given us, dare I say, a largely fortunate, impressive series of home results. We could just as easily be looking at a series of home results quite similar to our away results.
