Absolutely honking form, ill will towards the gaffer from the fans and Johansson doesn't seem to be able to change it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Diamond Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Impossible to predict who is coming down, with every team involved one minute they are bottling it the next they are on a run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Still plenty of sides needing to make sure their player contracts extend long enough to include the play-offs. Personally feel it will be Montrose vs Partick Thistle and Forfar vs Wee Team, with the Jags staying up. But that's total and utter guesswork and should be treated with thinly veiled contempt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Still plenty of sides needing to make sure their player contracts extend long enough to include the play-offs. .I know sides have been caught with this in the past put I'm pretty sure now contracts have to last until the transfer window opens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah contracts have to last for 52 weeks rather than the previous 42 that it was [emoji1417] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 It's anyone's guess who will take part in the 9th v 4th match but I can say with a fair degree of confidence that Forfar will make the final... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A recent knack of results on the road gives me slightly more confidence. Granted we are absolutely pish at Station Park. If we get through that with a draw I’d like to think we would get the job done in Kirkcaldy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's our record at Station Park that kind of makes me think we would be better off finishing 3rd and playing them at home first. If we can get a win under our belts at home then at least we go there with something to hold onto. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 If we're going to do anything in the playoffs, we're basically reliant on the home game. We've only managed to get 2 draws (Forfar and Airdrie) in playoff games away from home with 3 defeats (Stirling, Hibs, Alloa). We took Forfar to bits earlier in the season at Starks but that's a distant memory now (we also had Vaughan as a sub). I've got absolutely no belief we'll get anything positive from Station Park. It's probably only behind Inverness as a stadium where we never seem to get results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably only behind Inverness as a stadium where we never seem to get results. I was at that Airdrie away play-off. Although we got a draw we were never in danger of pulling back the 0-2 home defeat and Airdrie were comfortable. They went 3-0 ahead on aggregate early on in that game and it was a late equaliser when they were home and hosed. The other draw was at Brechin. Who then relegated us at Starks. We might just about manage to struggle past Forfar over two legs if we can limit the damage in the away fixture. East Fife to relegate Morton or the likes in the other tie to set up a Fife Derby with the Fife. Of course we all know what will undoubtedly happen there, but at least we can console ourselves with having reached our first ever play-off final. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofixedability Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Lot of talk of Rovers play-off record , despite winning them twice(lower league one) we have also had some horrible meltdowns in these ones. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullTimePint Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 (edited) I love the impact playoffs have had on our league. Right now with 4 games to go, 3 (4 if you count dumbarton...i think they are safe now) are still punching to avoid automatic and playoff relegation, and 3 of us are still tustling for play-off places. 6 out of 10 with all to play for Championship - anyone of the bottom five could realistically end up in a relegation/playoff fight, thats half the league! Realistically of the two league only really Dunfermline and Dumbarton are not in some sort of promotion/ relegation scenario Edited April 11, 2019 by FullTimePint 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The (very slim) chance of Morton getting relegated by your mob and him of all managers would at least be interesting for the Chernobyl-grade meltdowns in the Morton end though, yours truly included.

Don't you miss the short trip across the Erskine Bridge? Not a chance we'll be in the playoffs, I'll just be happy for The Sons to be in League 1 next season after a disastrous 6 months. Johansson was a strange appointment tbh, seems out of his depth, Ton are the lowest scorers in The Championship, only 3 points above 9th place, he may well take you back down to the seaside this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirscottyoung Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Montrose now in the driving seat. I still think there is a chance of a few more twists to come in this battle! Well I hope more than anything 🤞🏽 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
