Cosmic Joe Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I'm just happy to to be in with a shout of a play-off place at this stage considering the ridiculous run of injuries we've had to endure. Looking forward to Barry's first full season in charge and extremely proud of what our squad have achieved this campaign... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Your Own Socks Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Matchday 35 coming up and 90% of the teams still with something to play for. What a time to be alive [emoji126]???????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Yes indeed, although I think Alloa are guaranteed 2nd place so it might just be 80% which in itself says a lot for play offs even if I still don't like the four times a season format. Inclined to go for one away visit whereas in the old days of twice a season I probably went to all the games. Whoever wins at Methil next week looks likely to make it but I would like to see an exciting last game against QP so maybe we should all get the same results next week? So many teams with more points than goals shows how duff our defence has been all season. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get a win, it will be virtually impossible for Airdrie to finish above us, needing to turn over an enormous GD deficit. Considering our GD advantage, it would also mean to miss the play-offs would requite both Brechin and QP to pick up 4+ points from the remaining two games.

Optimism in Fife-good to see as I think both the promoted sides have been a credit to the division, but I hope we can repeat the earlier season win. Still to lose to you so there's a hostage to fortune prediction. Hope the snow does not appear mid week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Two games to and Stranraer can be automatically relegated, yet can still make make the promotion play offs. Draws at Methil and Brechin and a Stranraer win on Saturday would make for an exciting last game of the season.It's dream stuff for us though. Can't imagine it will pan out that way.

east fife for life Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 What a season! Too tight to call but delighted to be in a play off position with two games to go, all the more remarkable considering our ridiculous injuries to a small squad. Massive game against Airdrie next week but I've got a feeling the game against Stranraer the following will be even bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I'm not too thrilled to be in a playoff position. We're down I'd say. Away to Livi and home to Alloa left. The only hope we have is that Livi have been out on the lash for a couple of weeks and Alloa rest players for the playoffs. Clutching at straws I know.

Diamond Oracle Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The bizarre thing is that none of the four teams fighting for the promotion play offs are in great form.QP go into the last two games with the "least poor" form and looking at the remaining games I would fancy them to grab one of the places.East will likely get at least a point from us next week then go to a Stranraer who will have nothing to play for on the last day of the season.Therefore my revised prediction is:3rd - QP4th - East Fife5th - Airdrie6th - BrechinAlso hope Stenny pull it out the bag and stay up. Like Stenny as an away day despite the frequent beatings they hand out to us.Peterhead are generally a side of hatchet men and I never get to any away games against them as they're too far away.

You'll be happy to know that Livi have been playing fringe players... ... to keep everyone fit and available for the game we lift the trophy against Peterhead.

I have updated it to see how out of shape I am in predictions. The only team I got right was airdrie so I am hoping that what I predicted back then pans out after Saturdays results. Alloa gained two less than I thought/East Fife 5 less/Brechin 2 more / Albion Rovers two more/Queens park four more, so given that I am so bad at other teams I confidently predict that the play off three wil be: Alloa Airdrie Brechin In the ups and down since then my prediction that the game at Methil would be crucial seems to be correct. Teams on the same points and goal difference, if they both win, edge out East Fife/QP but if points are dropped in the games next Saturday it could be a nerve jangling time. Will stick by my 13/4 prediction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't understand running terms but do you mean you expect to win against Airdrie? ( It is possible given our individual mistakes) or you have settled for safety in what has been a good season for QP? Roll on Saturday as I stand by my prediction of 3rd place ( amazing in itself with 16 defeats) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roll on Saturday as I stand by my prediction of 3rd place ( amazing in itself with 16 defeats) Saturday was a stumble more than a charge to the line, at home and to the bottom placed team at kick-off. Too many players looked distracted. It'll be a remarkable turnaround if we can come to Airdrie and win by four goals. The odds are very much in your favour.

That has clarified it for me and like Mick1867, I can see how it could be difficult to turn around that deficit but you are playing inconsistent Airdrie. Should be interesting.
