The thought that next Christmas when I come up the road for a game it will not be at McDermid, is quite an exciting one.

Which is your prerogative. Personally, I'd not want to set out the predictable team against a manager who's sussed us tactically in each of our previous dozen meetings. We'll be playing kick and run. Dillon can kick, and he can run. If with the kicking and the running we manage to brute-force the ball into the net within the first 60 minutes, Spittal can come on and try some of his fancy-dancy "passing".

Dillon can kick, and he can run. Except Dillon can't kick well. If we're going to play long ball, better to have someone who can punt the ball forward without it going over the stand, which is where a lot of Dillons passed forward end up. And he can't run well either, because he can never cross the half way line, or if he does not at the right time. Spittal can still play long ball kick and run better than Dillon. And as an added bonus, we might trick them into thinking we're going to try to pass the ball.

Ah how quickly we forget his mazy one-two-dribble goal versus Kiliie, or his 40 yarder earlier in the season. He's scored more than any other of our defenders this season hasn't he? (i.e. those 2)

Spittal's second top, with five. (Related: it'll be hilarious if we're not relegated after being this shit. Absolutely hilarious.)

(i.e. those 2) Was that the slightly lucky once in a career dribble? He's not a good attacker, even if he's scored a few goals for us in his 9 years with us. Every wing he plays on, we don't get forward well on, given the very rare exception. We'ren't we all for playing the youngsters a few weeks ago? Rather than the guy who's on the way out?

So if we're better at hoofball than Thistle are at football, and Thistle are better at football than St Johnstone are at hoofball, then United must be better at hoofball than St Johnstone are at hoofball. Simple, really.
