Wow, how many spreadsheets did you use for all of that? The problem is that you didn't take into account the impact of weather on the day of the last 6 matches at each one of those contests, nor did you assess the impact of ground conditions on the day, nor whether a particular match was on natural turf or an artificial surface, etc. My point is that you're not comparing apples with apples in this kind of analysis. NONE of this matters. The last 5 or 6 St Mirren matches are arguably important to measure mindset and fitness. That's all. At this level, and at this point of the season, a positive outlook must be paramount. Positive results will be carried into the next game. As the teams line up, they MUST believe they will get a positive results. Performances over the last few games will influence the strength of that belief. Playing good football -- doing what they do best -- fosters that belief as well. That is where Ross is far better than Rae. The players are going about their business with more belief and a positive attitude. Under Rae, there was fear in their eyes everytime they touched the ball. Results will come -- game by game. Looking at how all the other teams have faired over the last gazillion matches means nothing.
