underboyleheating Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Could i borrow your sig please. Feel free... St. Mirren you have been evicted from the Premiership. You have 30 seconds to say your goodbyes, the Championship is coming to get you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuctifano Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 We're definitely not out of it, but is it mental to suggest that Killie aren't out of the scrap for 11th either? Just noticed their last 2 games before the split are Aberdeen and Celtic, so they might well get 0 points. If Motherwell and County beat St Mirren (not unlikely), Motherwell beat us, and County get a point from Saints (again, neither of these results total shocks), at the split it would be Killie 38 Thistle 35 (Assuming we lose to Celtic as well) County 35 Well 34 If your auntie had baws etc, and it would take Killie Hibsing it after the split, but not totally out of the question. Some turnaround, if you'd have said to me in January we'd have 35 points 2 games before the split I'd have said we were pretty much safe as County and Motherwell would still be on about 18/19 points.

Fuctifano Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 My bottle is starting to crash, not quite at the Hibs team levels of crash but its in the mail I fear. We're actually doing fine though, we've taken 10 points from our last 5 games and kept 3 clean sheets in a row, all against teams in the top 6. I suspect we'll lose at Parkhead on Wednesday but unless we pick up a load of injuries / suspensions or we get beat 10-0 then we should still be going into the Motherwell game in decent nick.

welldaft Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 County are on an incredible run. Are they ever going to lose again this season? I still think Partick and Killie are safe, but if we cold win our next two games, this shit gets real. I would be more confident of playing the **** or Hibs in a play off or Falkirk for that matter, given the upsurge in form, but would still rather finish 10th and root for any other side v (probably) the ****.

Shuggie_Murray7 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 We have been absolute stick on certs for the drop sonce the first ball was kicked. Quite unbelievable that County and Motherwell made it such a close contest for as long as they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Will the post split game against County be home or away? Home advantage and a large crowd could be the difference between winning or losing what is looking like being the play off decider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Who knows? It should be at Fir Park as we've been in Dingwall twice already - but you can't second guess the fixtures "computer"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 As it stands County are also +6 goals better off than us. We should not underestimate the impact that GD will have on the play off place outcome. Without being gung-ho I think we should be going all out on Tuesday night to try and improve our goals tally.

Loki Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Who knows? It should be at Fir Park as we've been in Dingwall twice already - but you can't second guess the fixtures "computer"... Motherwell would have been "seeded" to finish top six, so the fact you've made the bottom six will probably mean there will be a three and one scenario somewhere.

Loki Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 It's quite impressive that over 50% of the people polled thought we would finish bottom, many of them our own supporters. I started to doubt we would turn it around after St Mirren won at Victoria Park. The run we are on currently is unbelievable. 19 points from 21 is formidable form, turning around the six point deficit to 11th to being ten points clear of 12th at this stage. We even could be safe from automatic relegation by the time the split occurs. With the form we are showing it isn't too far fetched to see us beat both St Johnstone and St Mirren in the next week.

underboyleheating Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 It looks like Sevco will beat the Jambos today (they are currently 2-0 up at HT, however, they are down to 10 men). If this goes Sevco’s way it will almost certainly be them in the play off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I had a quick look at the possible bottom 6 post-split fixtures this morning, on the basis that St Johnstone will make the top 6 and Killie won't, which left the 2 scenarios of Dundee and Hamilton filling the final place. Attached a screenshot, but (if my workings are correct, which they may not be) If Dundee finish bottom 6: Motherwell and Thistle's fixtures will balance perfectly. St Mirren and Dundee are only due 2 home games having played 17 home games pre-split but scheduled 3 teams to play at home, and Killie and County vice versa. If St Mirren go to Killie for a 3rd time and Dundee go to Dingwall everyone will end up with 19 home and 19 away. If Hamilton finish bottom 6 Motherwell, County, and Hamilton's fixtures will balance perfectly. St Mirren and Killie are in the same scenario as above, however Thistle are due 2 home games but scheduled to play 4 aways post split. That won't happen so St Mirren will come to Firhill a 3rd time (which is terrible news for us given our record against them at home compared to away). Killie will be left with 18 homes and 20 aways but I can't see a way everyone's fixtures can balance in this scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Superwell Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 County should be at Fir Park after the split and to be honest, that's we would want to have them as I would see it as best chance of beating them. Should also be getting Partick Thistle and Killie at home should they fail to make top 6. Would also see us away to Dundee if they fail to make top 6 and St Mirren.
