Kilmarnock's hard-fought draw on the ploughed field of Tannadice may turn out to be a vital point come the end of May.
It was simply impossible to play good football on that surface and a share of the points was probably fair, even if we did leave it very late.
The manager had to rejig the team with Joe Hugill taking over the role as the main striker and he should improve with game time.
The injury to Tyreece John-Jules came just when he was in great form and we can only hope he is back sooner rather than later.
We gained a point on St Mirren who are one place above us, the Buddies are in freefall as they concede soft goals at one end and struggle to score at the other.
I suspect that the battle at both ends of the league will run until the last game, it's not often we can say that.
Killie are on the road again as we head to Falkirk who have had an excellent season so far.
They have dropped off a bit in recent weeks so hopefully Killie can take advantage and pick up at least a draw on Saturday.
