PauloPerth Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Absolutely nothing against Kilmarnock or Motherwell, but I would like see one of them relegated this season. Just for a bit of variety and a change in opposition next season. I also think both will likely come back stronger next season, so from a Saints point of view it would remove a potential rival. In terms of away trips, neither are grounds which capture the excitement for our support, so Raith, Dunfermline or Dundee up along with hearts would be good. And I say that knowing that a trip to McDiarmid will be just as uninspiring for killie/ Motherwell supporters. Having said all that, I think both will be too strong to go down. Not who you think, but who would everyone like to see relegated (out of the realistic options) ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE FAT MAN Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The teams round the bottom 6 or 7 play each other and will cut each others throats but if my sums are correct the maximum points a team can get are St.Mirren 53 Motherwell 46 Dundee Utd 46 St.johnstone 45 Hamilton 41 Kilmarnock 39 Ross County 38 ...Kilmarnock play Rangers Aberdeen Dundee Utd Ross County and Motherwell again in the run up to the split and look to have a job to be above 10th But St.Mirren who have the most points just now play Rangers Aberdeen Livingston Hamilton 2 and Ross County If they take some points from this run they are surely safe Dundee Utd have Rangers and Celtic in there run in so that could impact on there points total Its a minefield though with x playing x and anything can happen For me looking at the games to play Kilmarnock and Ross County are PROBABLY favourites for bottom 2 in my reckoning My own team St.johnstone barring a slump should Finnish between 6th and 9th if we can take 2 or 3 points from Celtic we will be on target for 44 or 45 points even if we lose its 42 The target for safety 39 which is the most Kilmarnock can achieve 38 avoids automatic relegation 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make, what, Accies 3-0 vs. the Well this season? No Chapman in goal will be a huge benefit, but if Well goes 0-3 against Hamilton that's got to be depressing as all get out.

There has certainly been a level of depression over these results in the last few years, they have upped their game, they have struck at the death, they have certainly found a way to win more than their fair share. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lex Posted February 11, 2021 Author Share Posted February 11, 2021 Demoted, if you want to be pedantic. Nope. Your club died and then a new club with a similar name was formed and applied for entry into the league, which was accepted. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
