McPake`s mistake was releasing Todorov and O`Hara and not replacing them with better. Kane was an improvement but brought in too late. Jacubiak and McCann are not prolific scorers and Wighton is always injured.
McPake now has the opportunity not to repeat his mistake for next season.

We may be separated by a division, but the reality is there is not much of a difference between the majority of championship and League 1 clubs. Falkirk and Hamilton coming into the championship and either Raith Rovers or a premiership club in the mix too is going to make it a very tough league next season.
It`s going to take a real competitive mindset and spirit to win the division. The number of injuries picked up by players suggests to me that to win it outright, you need to operate with a larger squad. I see our target this season of making the playoffs. It`s a financial gamble to aim for automatic promotion, and you would have to be confident that you can stay up. I think Dundee Utd will have the depth in their squad to stay in the premiership. They have been very clinical in terms of the players they have released, so they are setting their stall out early. From what I have seen of Raith, I think they will struggle if they went up unless they can attract players capable of performing at that level.

I disagree on the little difference in quality, that’s two seasons and only one defeat for the team who got first place and that was us away at Montrose.
Then even putting a side the injuries the quality on show was much better than in League One.

Feels like we’ll have a good first 11 next season but will really feel the difference if there’s any injuries. We have a reasonable sized squad already but no depth when it comes to quality.
I thought o’hara was okay, turned into a bit part player who was always under pressure when he got his chance to start but if we had an intelligent midfielder who could thread balls through to him he would have scored a lot more as had pace and was always on the shoulder of the defender. He scored goals at alloa at championship level.
Will be interesting to see how he does at this level next season.

My recollection is that O`Hara had a poor first touch which meant a lot of moves broke down before they had a chance to develop. He was quick and was a decent finisher in the box but his all-round play was disappointing - a bit like Todorov.

Agree with this. Think there’s a significant gap between the 2 levels, opposition this season has been a lot better than what we were up against in league 1. Even at the worst of our injury issues this season, I’d have been confident if we were up against anyone we played in the league last season - and league 1 this year was even weaker, without Airdrie and with Edinburgh’s implosion.

O`Hara scored 6 goals in the league in PG/JH era, more than any of our strikers (Kane obviously not here full season) this season just finished.
He was behind Shankland and Nisbet as 3rd top scorer the year covid ended the season early with Alloa.
He is nothing super special, but a more than solid championship striker I think.

However, County were more than a tad fortunate to get past Partick last season. If memory serves, they were 0-3 down on aggregate in the 2nd leg with some 20 mins left before the Jags fell apart. They might not find the Rovers to be so fragile.....

If you`re looking for a 108-point differential in a 36-game competitive league you`re going to be disappointed. A 1- or 2-point difference, or any sort of goal difference, would be a finer margin. These days cup-ties, play-offs and international tournaments, including World Cups, are decided by penalty shoot-outs.

I think Turner has really showed up the last two games against Partick and will be a loss for the rovers who are already dealing with fitness issues. Defensively I think they`ll struggle to deal with the threats Ross county have, Simon Murray has 21 goals in all competitions and won`t pass up the numerous chances Partick had to kill the game off the other night.
Even still it`s been a Disney-like year for the rovers with numerous last minute winners, winning against us in every league game and pushing Dundee united more or less all the way. So I wouldn`t be counting them out the tie.
For certain I`ll be cheering on Ross County to keep Raith down. County really offer us no benefits in terms of crowds along with the travel to Dingwall, plus the money they have could allow them to do what Dundee united have done this year in spite of Raith`s best efforts.

3 points is a fine margin. A 3 point swing with Inverness would be as simple as Mehmet not saving just one of their 2 penalties against us. If either of them had gone in, Inverness would have been above us on goal difference. Particularly given how poorly we played in both of those games, it’s hard to imagine we would have fought back to get a point after conceding. Particularly in the 0-0 away game.

Just as well a league is decided over all games against all sides and not on a couple of games against one side.

Inverness only turned up towards the end of the season. They stank the league out for the majority of the 36 games. They fully deserved to go down. Please stop saying we were lucky. OUR team gathered enough to finish 6th. That`s not luck.
A team that had to play a massive chunk of the season without most of our top players and finish 6th is not lucky.

All sides would suffer at some point throughout the season from bad luck, allegedly dodgy referee decisions, injuries and suspensions etc.
The opposite is also true.
The Pars included.
Of course that`s true. However surely most reasonable folk would agree we had more than just a bit of bad luck this season with injuries? Arguably our 3 best players were out for most of the season. Our club captain had 3 injuries. Our exciting young winger had 3 injuries. Our most promising player had 2 serious injuries. Our stand in captain and at one point just about our only fit centre half played with a fractured cheekbone just to help get us out a hole. Comrie, Wighton out for the season in January. Never mind the rest of the 4-6 week injuries like Jak etc.
I`d say it`s a really notable achievement finishing 6th. No way were we "lucky"

`If a 3 point difference out of a potential 108 isn`t a fine margin, I don`t know what is!`
If you`re looking for a 108-point differential in a 36-game competitive league you`re going to be disappointed. A 1- or 2-point difference, or any sort of goal difference, would be a finer margin. These days cup-ties, play-offs and international tournaments, including World Cups, are decided by penalty shoot-outs.
What a bizarre take. 3 points over a full league season is a fine margin.
Penalties in one-off games are completely irrelevant!

Whatever happened to `the table doesn`t lie`? We got that a lot the last time we were in the Championship. Does it only apply when we`re in the relegation places?

I hope the Rovers stay down for numerous reasons.
1) they`re our close rivals so can`t support them in ANY game lol!
2) they absolutely love that they beat us 5 times this season - so it would be utterly hilarious if it counted for nothing!
3) County bring nothing in terms of support - 2 more busy crowds is so much more preferable.
Mon the Staggies!!
COME ON YE PARS!

For heavens sake, 3 points is a fine margin, no matter how you try and defend it, 🤦♂️

In this particular league it was the difference between finishing 6th and finishing 9th. That`s hardly a `fine margin`. What size of margin would you say wasn`t `fine`? Morton only pipped us for 5th place by 2 goals!

Of course it is , the teams that finished 5th, 6th 7th and 8th all avoided 9th spot by a fine margin!!!
Do you struggle with simple arithmetic? 🤣🤣

What point exactly are you guys making? We finished 6th, Ayr were 7th, QP 8th and ICT 9th. We were three places above the play-off position and safe with a game still to play. I think most fans would have accepted that at the start of the season. Tell St Johnstone fans about `fine margins`!

I think the point folk are trying to make is that we were, in theory, one goal in one game away from finishing in the play offs. As were a couple of other teams. Definition of a hugely tight league.

I`m not disputing it`s a tight league. My point is that in such a tight league 3 points isn`t a `fine margin`. It`s actually quite decisive.
Let`s agree to disagree and move on.

This feels like an unnecessary debate…
It is possible to finish 3 or more places above the relegation spaces and still only be a hairs with away in terms of league points.
It’s was/is a tight league and the closeness in terms of total points proves that.
Given the margin equates to only one result going another way then perfectly fair to say were avoided relegation spaces by a fine margin…
…but you already know that!
End of the day, we’re in the championship next season and here’s hoping wet can make a challenge this tune

Over a 36 game season, if the result of 1 game could affect your whole seasons fate, then it is by definition a tight margin. The number of teams who are within that tight margin is irrelevant.
Let`s agree that you`ve made an erse of it and move on.

I think he makes good points that give a balance to some of the more reactionary posters on here.
