Hamill doesn't seem the type to rant at the players and get them performing . Half the problem is that we didn't - we half-arsed it and pretty clearly didn't trust him with the full pot. We dithered in the summer and that contributed significantly to where we are now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean half arsing it is probably better than letting someone ruin a squad, I'm thinking Stubbs and Craig here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd better hope Armstrong doesn't get injured. I don't disagree with you too much there, although I wasn't overly impressed with Dundee Utd last night (albeit they had 3 good chances in the last 15 minutes). I was of the opinion that we were doomed to go don, however when you see the way we played against Aberdeen and Dundee Utd we're as good as they are, however we need to start taking our chances more often. I don't know who will go down as teams start winning games you don't expect them to win when relegation becomes a serious reality. If I was a Motherwell fan though I would be extremely worried as they have been poor now for months, worse than us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnford Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Frustratingly no matter how bad Motherwell's run they always seem to give us a game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch their squad of 'professionals' respond on Wednesday night against us now as well now that they have had Goodwin emptied. Very prescient. We're in this, and lose on Saturday and we are very much in this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had orders of magnitude more about them than Motherwell did last night. Aberdeen are surely too far ahead and have too many good players to be dragged into even a fight for the playoff spot. There's too many teams below them who will do well to get past 35 points. Aberdeen probably only need two wins and two draws to be safe, which they'll get easily. Especially if we have to travel to Pittodrie again. Fairly crap set of fixtures for the bottom four this weekend - if any of them manage a win that'll be massive. Hopefully none do, giving Saints a free hit at Celtic on the Sunday. And where are these coming from? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having watched Killie fail to beat 10 man St Mirren for 85+ minutes at Rugby Park in full HD, going to need a citation here. The two worst teams in the league are Kilmarnock and Motherwell. I’d be astonished if that wasn’t our 2023 bottom two. No idea who’ll be 11th or 12th, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Motherwell - Shite team, shite manager Dundee United - Decent team, shite manager Ross County - Shite team, decent manager Kilmarnock - Shite team, very good manager So aye, for me, as it stands Motherwell look standouts for 12th. I think McInnes can drag Kilmarnock to safety, likely through a collection of shitfests after the split. 11th a shoot out to decide whats more important, manager or squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 This is why there was no real danger of Aberdeen going down. They are low on confidence and brittle but there are five stinking sides below them in the form guide. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 38pts absolutely guarantees safety, IMO Safe to sat the top 4 here are safe, needing at most 2 wins from 13 games. Id say we're safe too tbh. Our record v bottom half sides is great and thats the majority of our games now, with none v the OF. Sitting at ~34 points by the split is realistic and leaves just 1 win needed to guarantee it. If we are relegated from there then itll have taken a monumental collapse of about 6pts from 13 games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarto Mutiny Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I'm torn. I was convinced we'd go down after last Wednesday but I am not so sure now, even though we're no better off. I'm sure if we fail to beat St Johnstone in our next league game I will go the other way again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
