FTOF Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 2 hours ago, Bud the Baker said: They are a poor team and have taken a number of heavy beatings but in the games against Aberdeen & Hearts they have defended leads and picked up 6 points, as I've said elsewhere they have been fighting relegation since Game 1 - we gave them 20-odd games and 6 points of a start before we assembled & prepared an similar team. With 2H2H games to go 7 points isn't insurmountable but it's a helluvanask - I'd bet against us! Hearts are a poor team. They've been beaten by all three of the bottom feeders. It's just a pity that they're very unlikely to be in the bottom six, as we'd get a chance to play them at home again. As it is, we'll probably have 'Well or Hibs away.

Yeah, Hearts are likely to be in the Top 6 post-split and they made the League Cup S/F where they lost to Celtic and are likely to make the final of the Scottish Cup, sure they have bad days but a lot less than us. I wouldn't say there has been much between Hibs & Hearts over the course of the season (2 points in the league, Cup defeats to Celtic) but I'd say both are stronger than 'Well. ******************* As for us we'd not be in our present position if we'd assembled the current squad back in August but as they say "if yer aunty had balls......................", Accies have shown they can manage game situations - after the split they'll have three games against teams with little to play for so I reckon we'll need 6 points from the 2 H2Hs to have a realistic chance of overtaking them - but I've been wrong plenty times before.

Guest TPAFKATS Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 We are three wins behind Hamilton. If they simply draw with us and we win three we will still be a win behind them. Its a two horse race to the bottom now. We're actually 2 wins and a draw away from being above Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornwall_Saint Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 The Accies result yesterday is a kick in the baws. Then again, with such a low points tally any other season we’d already be gone. Hopefully the bigots beat Dundee today so we stay in touch with 11th, and work from there. If we don’t hit, say, 35pts by the end of the season we can’t really complain about going down. Whatever happens, just keep backing the team, que sera sera.

The Livi game balances out the Killie one, more than balances as 3 points for that win beats 2 points for two draws. If Tansy had been red-carded during the Hearts game we'd more than likely have lost it - luck is not why we're bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Oh my! I reckon that was potentially the best outcome for us in that game. Arguably (GD aside) better than them getting routinely pumped 6-0. An absolutely sickening kick in the stanes. Perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just puzzled you picked out me as I agree that barring us winning the 2H2Hs Hamilton are out of our reach, I predict roughhouse tactics & time wasting from the KO, although that's pretty much been their MO since Billy Reid took over a dozen or so years ago so no change there - the question is whether we're ready to match them in the coming two fixtures? ***************** For me the question on whether Brian Rice is a tactical genius or Canning's sacking focused the Hamilton players and gave them back their mojo is still open to debate although that will be academical (sic) to us if we go down.

Again wasn't picking you, or anyone out, just beeding. If sacking an underperforming manager is the catalyst for focusing players minds and restoring their mojo then by rights we should have been in the top six by last christmas!

I think they might just find out next time that we a now far better equipped to deal with a bit of roughhouse tactics, not to mention dish out some of our own.
