waldorf34 Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 We are on a sticky wicket now ,the teams we have to play ,ie Kilmarnock ,Ross County and Hamilton are fighting for their livelihoods, we could ,if not up for the fight ,end up in a playoff place!

It's highly unlikely that either County or Killie will get to 40 points so we could probably lose all our games and still be safe. Killie would have to win all their games to finish above us and County would need to (at least) win 3 draw 1 AND have a 24 goal swing in their favour. Basically, it isn't going to happen no matter our results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsidebud Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 A point against County a week on Wednesday makes us safe for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slarti Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Is it though? Show me your workings you fool [emoji12]County are 10 behind us, Killie are 11, they both have 12 left to play for and have already played each other so both could finish above us. United are already above us. Well are 2 behind us and still have United and Hamilton to play, win either of them and they could finish above us. If we lose all our games we could finish 11th but, as I already said, it won't happen like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsidebud Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 Teams have to play each other so I don’t think 11th actually is a possibility Ross County and Kilmarnock played each other yesterday - if we lose all our games and both of them win their remaining four games they will both overtake us. If Motherwell beat United or Hamilton then they finish above us as well. Only Hamilton can't catch us so 11th is our worst possible finish.I think we will get a point in Dingwall a week on Wednesday and that will put us safe.

We’re already safe tit I don't need to show ALL the permutations, just one where we could finish 11th. I did that and accounted for the one game that each team has already played after the split.The fact that YOU can't understand that doesn't make ME the tit here.We WON'T finish 11th, though.

No Pressure then as were not in a relegation battle I've not seen any reason to change my mind on where we'll finish, We came up short in the game we had to win a game we were strong favourites to win, I said before the game we should attack from the first minute to the last, Go for goals no sitting back, The way the games meant to be played, What happened We spend the second half camped in our box defending a one goal lead, and finished the game with no strikers on the park, Great tactics We got what we deserved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 This thread appeared when we had just beaten Celtic and the usual knee jerk reactions ensued. This works both ways, when we lose it's the end of the world, sack the manager etc. The early pages in this thread, and around the same time in the Jim Goodwin thread, are the same, knee jerk. It's best, unless things are drastically wrong, to stick it out till the end of the season and assess where we are and where we, realistically, could go in the next season. The top 6 was always out of reach IMO, although we did get much close than I thought, but at the end of the day we never made that. It should be remembered we were one game from relegation last season so, unless we have a complete collapse, this season has been, as I'd hoped, a steady improvement.

Bud the Baker Posted April 17, 2021 Report Share Posted April 17, 2021 If we can beat Killie (presumably) in the Q/F and hold onto eighth spot then it will be a good season, miss out on one and it will still be decent but miss out on both and it will be a bit meh....

Cups need to be won to be acknowledged as success. Feck cup runs which end in defeat. Yeah, this still has the potential to be a red number season.
