Here's an analytical view of what they missed out on

Love this team love this club, didnt play great but some guts and great 2nd goal.
Why are they doing so well in the Premiership this season after coming up from the championship last season and are in contention for a place in Europe next season
I know one of the reasons is they have got an excellent goalkeeper but there must be more reasons why they are doing so well
Anybody know anymore on the subject
And on the other hand why are they doing so poorly this season after doing so well last season going in to the last quarter last season they were in contention for a champions league place . this season they have only one point from something like ten games
Anybody know anymore on the subject ?
The fact they have -12 gd shows they havent shipped any real hammerings,
without looking at their results id imagine many were tight games,
brewster hasn't torn up many trees since the arrival from liverpool. you'll never score much with olivers burke and mcburnie as your front two.
