Ludo*1 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Ross County 3 points behind the play-off spot, but with a massive win against Dundee last weekend, they have renewed hope. County went into last weekends fixtures with a feeling that if they lost, they were dead and buried. It's funny what a difference a 1-4 mauling can do for one's confidence. Partick Thistle The team that has hovered in the 'danger zone' for the longest period this season. A team that was crippled by injury and don't look up to much, despite having much the same squad as last season which stormed into the top 6. Hamilton Accies Currently keeping Partick Thistle out of the play-off spot, but have 2 games in hand. Rumours of admin abound though. Will this be the season they run out of luck? Dundee FC Stop start season for Dundee. Top 6 budget, woefully underperforming. Lost Jack Hendry and Scott Allan on deadline day, remains to be seen whether we can kick on without them. It's going to be particularly hard to utilise our playstyle without Hendry to lead from the back. A 1-4 defeat by the bottom club sparks fears. St Johnstone A team in freefall currently. A strong start to the season has left them in a position more comfortable than their form suggests. Still 2 games in hand over a lot of the sides below them, but look ever increasingly like getting dragged into the battle. I'd like to say Kilmarnock and Motherwell are just about safe now (Unless Killie lose Steve Clarke so won't include them in this.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hamilton and St Johnstone for the bottom two. The two remaining head to heads define who's where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I think Ross County and Hamilton, hopefully with Accies in 11th, I would hope we could shitfest our way to a play-off final against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsr Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I voted for Hamilton to go down, but no doubt the jammy bawbags will somehow flog a no-mark youngster for £5m and survive again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingboots Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Hamilton to go down. Ross County playoff. Playoff spot to go down, for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Voted for Dundee to finish bottom, and second-bottom, and to lose the play-off. Doon you go again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadroj Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 County bottom, Dundee second bottom and to be relegated by the DABs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estragon Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 It's a strange thing to see a poll like this and not find Kilmarnock involved and/or being one of the more popular selections... Every time a particular team seem the most likely to get relegated, there's a change in fortune. We've seen Partick Thistle pick up some results in recent weeks, and Ross County looked excellent from the highlights at the weekend. I really can't see St Johnstone being involved towards the end of the season. So that leaves us with Hamilton and Dundee. Obviously a lot depends on Accies' financial situation, and whether they end up with a points deduction that would see them undoubtedly go. I can't help but feel that's a club that has a more likely siege mentality than any of the others at the bottom however, so I've gone Hamilton 11th and Dundee 12th. The championship is absolute garbage this season though - one relegation only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I think Ross County and Hamilton, hopefully with Accies in 11th, I would hope we could shitfest our way to a play-off final against them. No chance, your team is 10x worse than last season and we bodied them. Back to the diddy forum plz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John MacLean Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 St Johnstone could be dragged into it all. They certainly look a bit stale but key for them will be their games in hand. Pick up nothing from them then they are potentially really in the pooh. I do suspect though that the current bottom 4 will occupy those places come the end of the season though in what order I'm not entirely sure. I think we'll be okay (just) as will Dundee (just) which would leave Hamilton and County in the bottom two. Wouldn't be sorry to lose either of those sides.

bunglebonce Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I'll be content for County to finish 11th, because I'm confident they'd cuff anyone from the Championship with the quality added to the squad. I've been writing off Acciees for years. If it came to a dog-fight with them to avoid 12th I still think they'd scratch their way out of it.

Swello Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I picked Hamilton and Dundee - no axe to grind with either team (in fact, I'd be happy if they both stayed up) - simply because I think from the outside they are the teams that were weakened most during the window. I'm pretty convinced that once again, the Premiership side will stay up in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 The worry for us is if we're still down there come the final few games then we would surely be favourites to go down. Accies, Ross County, Partick Thistle and Dundee have all been through the pressure of fighting the relegation battle and know they can come through it. At that time of the season it comes down to nerves rather than footballing quality. I'm not sure how much of either we've got just now.. We just need a couple of wins to pull us away from it all, but hard to see where that's coming from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cilitbang Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Accies bottom, County 11 and to get relegated. 2 shite crowds (numbers/revenue wise) to enter the Championship and put the final nail on the DABS coffin with any luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellView Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Accies are in a bad way on and off the park. Ross County might pull another great escape but I feel the other clubs above them will grind them down. I can't see any team in the championship that will be able to handle the scandalous play-off schedule then take on a rested and motivated premier league and beat them. It would be fairer to just have a play-off between the second bottom team and the team that finishes second in the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
