Even Motherwell? I'll be honest, I posted it (before realising it was only up to the split), simply down to the different "paths" Hamilton and Killie took in getting to the Championship. 15 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: Yeah, we can see that. Trust me, I take that as a compliment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 We've already got more points than Hamilton got all season last year, and are one win away from 34 which is usually enough to avoid 11th. So, yes I'm pretty comfortable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 51 minutes ago, Ric said: "reasonable chance", is the operative word there. Isn't that the point with these things? You are making a judgement call based not only on the team involved but the odds being offered. At 250/1 it's the largest jump and clearly from the money already placed, it's the divide between who is likely to be involved in the relegation dog fight and who isn't. As I say, I don't gamble, I see little point in throwing money away. Not really, because that "reasonable chance" is predicated on the extremely unlikely scenario in which they lose every single remaining game. If you take "reasonable chance" as the operative words there then you've definitely missed the point. If you want the value bet then you're looking for 1) something that can realistically happen and 2) something where the bookies' odds are longer than you think they should be. Motherwell finishing 12th fails on 1), but St Mirren finishing bottom at the bookies' implied chance of 6.7% arguably fits both criteria, even though I don't expect it to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 While I think the last day's results weren't added in, it still shows the two classic paths to relegation. A Hamilton bumping along the bottom for most of the season, meanwhile Killie did their dying swan act.Not that I think there's any chance of any of them being involved but surely if you see Motherwell as best value at 250/1 you'd be better with Aberdeen or Hibs? Both listed at 500/1 and both below us in the league table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes up with decent things here and there but he's no better than Forrest for example 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just nice to be really hyped about a player for once though, as long as he's a more competent Dolly Menga then we'll be fine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Nouble was good against us in the cup, but never really threatened to score or create anything. All his work done out wide and it seemed relatively easy to stifle him by just playing narrow. He'll do well holding the ball up and bringing others into it but I wouldn't be expecting him to bag more than a handful of goals at best over a top flight season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) In regard to Nouble, I went to check the top scorers in the division (image below is from the BBC) and he's not even in the "top ten". Obviously this doesn't tell the whole story and the fact McKenna has 12 in the same team while Nouble is on 4, suggests he is maybe not deployed as an out and out striker. I will admit my ignorance here, I've never seen the lad play, so maybe I am missing something. Edited January 3, 2022 by Ric 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
