beaver1 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Not sure. Resigned to bottom two after today, but we played well again and on another day would have won comfortably. We have had too many days like today. Just wasn’t to be. But if we do finish 9th we will hopefully go in to a playoff with a fighting chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Team in Angus Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Bottom line is all teams in this area of the league are there for a reason and that is we are all no very good, if we escape relegation this year it will be a miracle but we did have that in 2015/16 but then we had a better team that could score goals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car54wherareyou Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Just looking at the Brechin fixtures they have left,very hard for them to stay off bottom spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are usually fine with the difficult ones , especially Raith. It's the teams round about us we struggle with .......oh and Montrose as well . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 9th Brechin 10th Stenny Brechin to be relegated in the play-off by Annan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that basis there's no way they will finish below us and by extension it's probably more or less mathematically impossible for them to end up in the bottom two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Tighter than a nuns chuff at the bottom now with Brechin winning at East Fife, Stranraer picking up a point against Arbroath and Dumbarton reverting to early season form and falling to a humping at Raith. A huge week of fixtures this week - Brechin make the trip to Stranraer tomorrow night whilst Stenny travel to Dumbarton at the weekend. Two home wins in those fixtures and it looks difficult for Brechin and Stenny to claw things back, but two away wins and it's a fucking free-for-all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Diamond Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) The results on Saturday just show that accurately predicting football results is sheer chance! Another bunch of unpredictables coming this week Edited March 25, 2019 by Old Diamond 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulloch Gorum Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Beating Forfar on Saturday was a big result for us. For all our form has been utterly stinking since the Celtic game, that's two wins and a defeat in the last three. Beat Brechin on Saturday and we should be about fine. Beat Dumbarton in the re-arranged game and we could even, incredibly, be looking at the promotion payoffs with EF in the next game... but while none of those results are wildly improbably, this team doesn't look like it's very likely to go on a run of three or four consecutive wins. Unless... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesadilla Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I don't think we're in any real danger TBH. Of course it's not mathematically impossible, but it'd be an extraordinary turn of events to see four teams overtake us and send us down to the bottom tier. Even the downward playoff is pretty unlikely and if we were to take a point from Brechin and another from the away game at Dumbarton, we'd be home and hosed. I want to see the back of Stenny. They've been a byword for shite since records began and have become a yardstick as to how bad we are as a club at the moment. That and they continually take points from us. From the remainder, I'd like to get shot of Dumbarton as there would be some hilarity involved in reading what their fans have to say, but that's not likely either. Brechin always bring the cast of cocoon to Airdrie and come to the boozer in reasonable numbers. It's nice to watch the locals ponder as to why an Urquart tour has just alighted in Airdrie, so for that reason I'd like to keep them. Stranraer is a good trip on the bus, but the town is shite. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSister Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Obviously I hope Stranraer stay up. Of the rest, I'd like to lose a few Angus clubs from this league...too many miles on my old banger and they bring no more than a handful to us, so our attendance figures are really being clobbered compared to them, on an already impossibly low budget. So, Peterhead to have a sudden wobble to the end of the season, tumbling into the play-off position and failing! Edinburgh City to come up and Stenny down automatically. Brechin to go down and Annan to come up through the play-offs. At the other end, Arbroath and Forfar to go up and Partick and Alloa to come down. League One next season (in alphabetical order, lol): Airdrie Alloa Annan Dumbarton East Fife Edinburgh City Montrose Partick Thistle Raith Stranraer There, that's cut a few thousand miles from next year's travelling and increased our attendance. Thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did worry the Airdrie postponement might f**k us a bit by knocking our momentum and putting extra pressure on us if we lost to Raith. Looking at everyone's fixtures, I'm not even sure 40 points will be enough to be safe. Edited March 26, 2019 by FifeSons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
