Ronnie Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 It didn't need to be an opinion just look at the bigger picture. The same as the relegation battle 12th place is only a 3 Horse race(Ross County will not finish 12th Guaranteed) but 11th is a 4 horse race.I have been saying for weeks County will not finish bottom as despite their terrible run, if County lost every match until end of season for the bottom 3 to ALL OVERTAKE COUNTY they would ALL need to win anything from 2/3/4 games each out of 12 and that will never happen.That is same reason St Johnstone were safe 2 weeks ago too. That's your opinion. It wasn't mine until today. Well done the Perth Saints. Makes next week's game and the Ross County ones not to miss. Looking forward to them.

Your opinion is based on the voices in your head. Clueless. Sad little person.. I hesitate to call you a man. Your ego is much larger than your abilities justify. Opinions are what they are, whether yours, mine or anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Just going by previous years experience too sometimes when it's only a 2 horse race teams can overtake a big gap.Ross County's saving grace is 3 teams worse than them 1 maybe 2 could produce an amazing upturn in results but all 3 impossible.Even on our good run to end of last season the 10 match unbeaten run had alot of draws and ultimately we still couldn't catch Hamilton.

St J had a terrible early season and have lost a bundle of goals as their GD shows. My thought process was that their previous defensive frailties might return to haunt them. They haven't.

Bud the Baker Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 6 hours ago, Bud the Baker said: Do we really need to go onto other clubs websites, I occasionally view the club specific threads on P&B and the moans are pretty generic to all clubs - surprise, surprise! **************** Anyway my take on the situation Ross County - Looked safe-ish pre-split (above the Fakes & closer to 5th than 12th) so Uncle Roy didn't really open his wallet, maybe wishes he had now. Us - In better shape than last season, but need to dig out a coupla big wins at some point or else knickers will be wet & fingernails will be bitten. Hamilton - It gets harder for a club their size season on season, I've a feeling this will be their season for the drop but their ability to win games when they score first might save them - but hopefully not. Hearts - On paper have the ability to finish 9th but as we know the game is played on grass or astroturf - lang may their troubles continue. Probably the best outcome for us today!

Same.I expected, Hearts, to improve and slowly pull away, however, they appear to be a complete shambles.Thankfully, they can't play, The Rangers, every week.

Ayrshire Saints Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Why the constant attacks on Waters, he's probably our most steady performer since the break, barely put a foot wrong. Don't get this need for the Obika / Waters scapegoating. TWO totally diverse opinions. I suspect the truth lies between these... We have more points than this time last year, but the issues are obvious : (a) Not winning enough ( not scoring enough © two new young CB's and little cover (d) Injuries to good players (e) Waters at LB (f) also light on CM cover. Only consolations are : 1 - (a) Hamilton lost a decent CB (Stubbs) and have their other better one injured right now (Easton) ( They are on the worst run, worse than all other Premiership teams I think. © They have other injuries to key players also. 2. Ross County (a) Also on a dreadful run of form, only slightly better than Hamilton. ( Missing a few of their better players through injury © Not really looking like having any answers most weeks. © too many poor players in their squad. 3. Hearts (a) Manager with the worst record in their last 6 years currently in post. ( new signings not setting the heather on fire (except 1) © Leaking goals due to defensive and goalkeeping frailties Back to us - new strikers and other signings need to do it when they get their chance. We need to win in more of the big games against rivals and the occasional game like today's also... any 2 wins in the next 3 or 4 games would really help our cause... best to start today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
