Kemp Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Gutted at this. We now face two of the biggest games in our history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I recall you once proclaimed that 34 points would see you safe. Where did I say that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whydowebother Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Proud of the team overall today & yet again 'probably' the best traveling supporters in the league It's no disgrace to lose at Tannadice, but isn't it typical recently when we get a result our rivals match or better it & when we lose they seem to pick up at least a point. The team have quite simply been very good since the transfer window closed albeit a bit late in the season. I fully believe we will be above Raith after we play them. Dundee United have won 15 and have a good home record, referee decisions aside, it just wasn't our day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pondsman Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Lots of permutations still possible. Only one thing is clear. Next week's game is a must win, so let's get a huge crowd into the stadium (over 5000?) and get right behind the team! COYS!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmer john Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 that last 2 minutes had f**kn Hammarby written all over it......not pleased, not pleased or happy at all. I do still think we will be playing in the same league next season, even if via the play off....would take the play off place if offered. Clearly is does and always did matter what other teams did and not only about what we did. I could hardly believe the over confidence shwn by many when we got to 8th.

southsidebud Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 It's back in the melting pot but remember we play Raith next week and then Ayr play Raith on the last day so 10th place is still eminently avoidable. KTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 It's likely we will end up in the playoffs after today it's still unlikely we will be automatically relegated given a point better than Ayr achieve next week will see that achieved with a game to spare. If we lose in the play offs we fully deserve relegation but if it is the play offs surely even the most pessimist fan would fancy us to come through. A win v Raith and it's all to play for again. Well if we are in the playoffs there's a good chance we are going down. There are going to be 4 teams in the playoffs, only 1 of them will be playing in the championship next year. Games like today aren't the reason we are where we are. Dundee United are a bigger club than us with a bigger budget, as are Hibs. Going to teams like thats ground and getting a result has always been and will always be difficult for us. The games that hurt us and are continuing to hurt us is our failure to beat teams like Dumbarton and Dunfermline once in the eight games we've had against them this season. Or 3 points out of 9 against Raith Rovers. I thought we needed a cushion going into these nightmare final 4 games and sadly we weren't good enough to give ourselves one. Now we will likely need to go to Easter road on the last day of the season in front of roughly 15,000 Hibs fans and beat them on their title party day. Not impossible certainly, but not likely either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbyreid Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Frustrated at losing a goal in the 90th minute after we equalise in the 88th, we should just see it out and take the point. O'Brien picking up a back pass very costly for us today and I am not convinced he is the keeper For us going forward. I wasn't at the game but listening to the commentary sounds like the ref had a howling 1st half and we were deserving of a draw. Other results did not go our way, convinced we will overcome Raith next week but 8th position is now unlikely. COYS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalrybud Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Being slightly cyclical, a few Championship Chairmen may want to have think about cash flow next season if we go down, given the size of the away support. Just saying.....and clutching at straws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Just back, kick in the stones TBH. On the 2nd half performance I thought we were the better team. Ref had a nightmare for both teams TBH, although directly cost us the first goal. Couldn't say about the pass back but disappointing they scored from the free kick. Aye, unlucky.

TopCat Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 As for the game today, couple of positives and couple of negatives. Thought Mallan played well again, his free kick delivery is outstanding and I thought he had scored one in the second half but Bell pulled out a big save. Thought Gary Mack was good again too, unlucky with the first goal but he's such a threat going forward. As for the negatives, I think the Morgan gamble never paid off. The lad's clearly not fit. He shouldn't have started and he certainly shouldn't have played ninety minutes. He's such an asset when he's flying but wasn't nice to see him struggling today. O'Brien's not up to it. Another mistake today. He's costing us goals far too regularly. Young keeper with potential yes, but he's clearly not ready to be our number 1. Loy was poor again too. Sutton needs to start in his stead next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You paint it as a 1 in 4 chance I would suggest if it happens we will be pretty strong favourites to prevail. Anyway mute point at this stage lets see what the position is this time next week.

Aye, Morgan flattered but his decision making was poor. Deserved something for our efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I wouldn't say it was a 1 in 4 chance. I would be confident too, would have our chances at nearer 50%. We would be the best side in the playoffs with the largest support and biggest budget. We would be big favourites.Still though, would far rather not be in it. Anything can happen in these two legged ties, luck would be a factor.

proudtobeabuddy Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I think if we do our part by winning both games we'll finish 8th. The biggie is next week if we win that and Hibs keep trying for a couple more games against Raith and Ayr then Hibs can gladly chuck it against us in a fortnight (a few ex saints in the Hibs team ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isle Of Bute Saint Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Ref sold the game that's the bottom line. That was no mistake. Then to tell Jack Ross you will both OK after the game is shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Huge game for the club on Wednesday when Raith go to Easter Road. If Raith win, they will still be above us even if we beat them next week. Need the Hibees (whose season's over) to do us three favours. Beat Raith midweek, beat Ayr next Saturday then lose to us on the last day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
