Who will win the league then? not seen this discussion in a few weeks.

Is there anything new left to say on this?

Accies have led the league all season, with Dundee hot on our heels. One of these two teams will win the league. I think it will be Accies.

The next three or four games will decide it I think. If Hamilton and Dundee's patchy form continues and St Johnstone continue to pick up points it could become even tighter. I'm worried for Hamilton at the moment more than anything - I've only seen them once (when we horsed them at McD) and they were pish. I appreciate they have ground out results though, but they seem to be struggling now.

Dundee v St Johnstone at the start of March could be a massive game.

St Johnstone

I'm beginning to think St Johnstone have a chance. Dundee are hopeless and Hamilton are struggling to score goals at the moment and with St Johnstone picking up results regularly, I think they can work their way back into the race.

we all know it aint gonna be accies

your only as good as your last game and you were shocking.

Dundee will win this league. The Hamilton collapse I have been talking about with mates all season has begun. They will finish 3rd.

Though i really hope Saints win, I don't think we can maintain the decent form that has put us back in with a chance.

If we strengthen in the areas where we really need to, we'll win the league. If we fail to strengthen, I can see Saints nicking it.

I personnally think it depends on the Lyle situation, if Hamilton can get him now in January then i think they will start scoring and win it but if dundee keep him till the summer they will finish the stronger and win the league! both teams though can be patchy and how many games have dundee and hamilton scraped by the odd mcDonald, McCarthy goal? if they slip up and we continue our run you never no! But I think it will go down to the wire weather that be a two horse race (PROBALLY) or a three horse race!

We've won 8 out of 22 so far.
We'd need to do something like 11 out of the final 14 to stand a chance, so not us.

It will end up the same as last season - turn two of those huge amount of draws in to wins and we are right back in it. Something we should have done anyway.

Which league.

You could say something similar about Thistle, too. We drew six games and should really have won five. If we had taken all three points, we'd have 38 points to St Johnstone's 34 (feel free to count up the number of points you'd have if you'd won your draws), Dundee's 42, and Hamilton's 45.

Ah well, there's always next season.

I reckon it will be Dundee.

Anyway, if it was Hamilton would they have to get a proper pitch?

Er ... one.

McCarthy's scored three league goals, one in our 4-0 win over Stirling, one in our 5-0 win over Dunfermline, and the only goal of our 1-0 win over Morton.

So much for that theory.

The rest of this thread is a predictable as every previous discussion of Accies' title-winning chances. Long may you all write us off! And long may we stay top of the league.

One of four, Dundee, Hamilton, Dunfermline or St Johnstone.

Dundee to win the league ......hamilton will slip up and dundee will win by 5 clear points .....saints cant maintain there current league form! and put up a decent fight....we will just start drawing as always .....i reckon we might just nick 2nd though

Personally, I view Dundee as the favourites.

Can those suggesting Dundee give any evidence why they haven't collapsed either?

What have you to gain from kissing their fans' arses other than a shitty breath? Puh-lease.

McCarthy scored after a couple of mins against us at palmerston too did he not, when we went onto win 2-1 thanks to 2 comical OG'S?

Yes, you're right - I missed that one. But he still didn't win us the game, so supersaint44's theory is still nonsense.

fine i made a mistake but you are taking this way too seriously i just meant that both you and dundee(mainly dundee!) hav won some of your games with one goal wins or late goals ok?????!

I think the league will be a lot closer than most will think, come the end of the season!

I don't. Dundee will win it with points to spare.

Fair enough, thats your opinion.

Once Hamilton work out how to play their talent rich (by first division standards) squad, the results will start to come their way. I reckon we'll score a few on Tuesday and carry it on against Clyde.

The result on Saturday is the final kick up the arse we need!

"Mainly Dundee"? Now you're backpedalling.

The truth is your theory doesn't fit Accies.

We've won a grand total of four league games by one goal to nil. And we haven't won a single game by virtue of a late goal (the closest would be our home win over Dundee, when we scored our first with eight minutes to go, then our second in stoppage time - final score 2-0).

On the contrary, we've conceded late goals, and failed to convert draws to wins. If we'd been doing the kind of things Dundee have been doing, we'd be out of sight by now.

Stirling Albion Football Club.

I should probably know better than to write us off but I still can't see it.

We were rubbish until Deuchar and Quinn arrived and by that time Accies and Dundee were eleven and nine points ahead of us respectively. So despite being better since then, we've made up a grand total of one point on both teams.

I guess that shows we've been as good as them since we got Deuchar and Quinn in but being "as good" as them isn't enough and even though they are stumbling, I can't see them becoming as bad as us (four points in five games) or us putting together the sort of run to overhaul them.

The total required to win the league might be slightly less than anticipated a month ago but I'd still think the champions will end up with a total around the 70 point mark. I said at the start of December (after the 2-2 draw with Thistle) we could drop another 12 points and on that basis, we can drop another 3 points but that's maybe adjusted slightly and if we collect 35 points from the 42 available, we might have a chance. That's not going to happen though.

Anyway, I don't think it's possible to answer the question and be sure about it. Even the close of the window might not signal too much as the emergency loan option is still available. As things stand, I'd side towards Accies as they have more matchwinners than Dundee IMO.

I'm going to go for dundee to win the league, i think that if hamilton were to get promoted then they will come straight back down next season because they do not have the quality to stay up imo.

Dundee for me providing KM stays fit. I just think they have enough about them. Credit to Hamilton for their tremendous start to the seaosn but i can see us catching and overtaking them.

I think we can take one team but not both the front two.

Any minds changed yet???

Having a laugh? there is a discusion about this everyday nearly

Anyways as i have said all along i will say Dundee are going to win

My money is on Hamilton - they have led throughout the season and have been one of the best teams I have seen in the league.

With any luck Dundee.

Just to get rid of the Dundonian children that keeping joining,i couldn't stand another season of their dross.

Hamilton to win it. I had my doubts earlier in the season but they keep managing to get the wins and I think they'll see it out.

Post #24 is the best laugh.

"Points to spare"

Would prefer Dundee to win cos the have the support and ground.
What will happen if Hamilton get promoted cos NDP doesn't hold 6,000+?

Good point you have raised and i think the Hamilton fans would be more than happy to tell you given that no-one else has brought this issue up!

One more time ...

1. Temporary stand (facing the main stand) is currently under construction and will be complete by 31 March, taking us over the 6,000 minimum covered seating capacity by the deadline.

2. Plans underway for a permanent stand at the Sainsbury end.

3. Contingency plan to lift the artificial surface should the SPL insist.

Nothing's going to stop us now!

Does Rae need his baldy heid polished again?

I want the best team to go up. Up to know that is Hamilton, so I would be happy with that.
