I think Rovers have 9 games left and there is no way you will pick up zero points from those 9 games - it just won't happen. Similarly, the sides in the lowest places just now ain't gonna win all their remaining games. I think any side breaking through the 30 points barrier this season will be safe - hope to hell Queens can do it today. Thought Rovers looked decent last night, just need to start taking chances but that will come. Keep the faith. Agree with this. In terms of a top 4 finish, drawing against teams 7 or 8 points behind us isn't great (although it helps your team out) but it's perfectly acceptable in terms of avoiding relegation. 30 points will certainly be enough and even if we did lose every game it would require a pretty freakish sequence of results for every team from 6th to 9th to overtake us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens I think we're fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were, as I recall, perhaps two seasons where you might even be worried (at 40 points over 36 games).

Broken Algorithms Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Agreed. Beat Caley at Starks and we're sitting in a very helpful position. In particular, it's a great result for Alloa. The league is utter ridiculous at the moment. A couple of results for Alloa and it'll be impossible for anyone to say who will end up where in the league aside from Hearts. We need to get back to winning though. Ideally McCann leaves Keatings out again for Tuesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At home we’ve only lost the last 5 league fixtures to them. We managed a 0-0 back in 2002. There’s even that recent 3-3 draw in the League Cup to get our hopes up. We have to beat Inverness sometime. Might as well be this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith_Raver Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) We're firing blanks and I'm not confident about Tuesday. It's great watching falcons and swallows darting about in midfiled but we have turkeys up front. PS what's the latest on Vaughan?

Someone mentioned he had caught COVID. Maybe he’s just not right yet. He looked anything but up for it on Friday, but that could just be that he was pissed off at only getting 5 minutes at the end of the game to make a difference. Gullan has shown he can get among the goals too. Just need to get everyone firing again. Edited March 14, 2021 by Scary Bear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Utterly rotten tonight again. For years we've sat each Summer and said "surely Davidson will be gone" and he's offered a new deal and every single season he's back to act as a liability. He's our oldest player other than David McGurn (a third choice goalkeeper who is more of a coach) and at 37 he's had a longer career than most to know you can't do what he did tonight. For all he's chipped in with a few goals this term I refuse to believe that any other centre half couldn't have added the same. At the moment, as soon as Nando is back he should be lightyears ahead in the pecking order. The big man gets slaughtered but he's done very little wrong compared to Davidson. Caley created a few really good chances and probably should have had a couple more but when you play for 80 minutes with ten minutes you can't help but think we did them a huge favour by getting such a stupid sending off. It was a well taken finish from a long punt up the pitch but it was well deserved. At the moment, we're in a position where we need to try something new. The 4-2-3-1 has had the arse collapse out of it. As mentioned, Armstrong looks well off the pace at the moment. I'd be delighted if we focused our squad around Vaughan, Kennedy, Matthews and Hendry. Our back line should be the one which ended the game tonight week in week out. There's clearly a reason that Manny Duku hasn't featured much now: he's claimed on twitter he is completely fit but based off what's been doing the rounds his head got turned in January and we must have kicked back an offer. I'd be surprised if any team is looking at him if he's chucked in the towel. While this is all speculation, if you chuck it half way through a season you're only going to be fucking things up for yourself. It's a vicious circle as the fans will see the lack of any effort and slaughter the guy who in turn won't bother his arse. Timmy Abraham isn't even in the picture and frankly looked woefully out of his depth in the time he has played, spending far too much time moaning at the referees. Ugwu didn't have a sniff tonight but in general has been poor aside from that first half against Hearts. Really hard to see where we go from here. For all Kennedy did well in his first few games, I'd still rather that we had Ethan Ross who had an element of surprise to him. A thoroughly underwhelming evening and while it's obviously still raw, you can't help but feel frustrated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
