microdave Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Shamelessly stolen from the Championship forum. A poll on who we think will fill the bottom two places and a general discussion as we hurtle towards the end of the season. I think Stranraer will finish bottom with Forfar heading for the play offs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofixedability Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Forfar’s next three games are Stranraer (h), Dumbarton (a) and Peterhead (a). If we take less than five points out of that think we will be ninth at best. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fifer Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Stranraer to go down, Forfar in the playoffs. Goodwillie will probably keep Clyde up, can't see Dumbarton dropping into it and Peterhead seem capable enough of scoring even without their talisman who wasn't really banging them in before he left anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 We’ve not lost in five games. Only other two teams to do this at the minute are Raith and Falkirk. Problem is we can’t buy a win. Think 9th is our best chance of survival, even that is a huge ask.Not very imaginative but I’d say it will finish as it is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair to say you need to beat us on Saturday to have a realistic chance of not finishing bottom? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life on Marrs? Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Sadly I feel the gap is too big for Stranraer to claw back. Can't see Clyde or Dumbarton being anywhere near the bottom 2. It's between Forfar & Peterhead for 9th for me. Forfar look the weaker side, but they are not cut off yet, so can easily still get put of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapelhall chap Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 The draws will kill Stranraer but I have a sneaky feeling they will still give a few sides a fright. I have gone for Forfar to recover some form and sadly think Peterhead will finish 9th. They will win the play offs and stay up. My predictions are usually rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Forfar go down it would leave Montrose as the only Angus side, while Brechin look in real trouble in L2-with Mark Wilson as their manager I am not surprised. Looking forward to Peterhead visit next week as long as these Storms vanish in time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDust Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I think its too early for me to make a judgement on Stranraer, 3 draws against Falkirk, Airdrie and Raith in the last three weeks may suggest if they can turn these points into 3 against teams around them could see them get off the bottom at least. I think Peterhead will occupy one of the bottom 2 places and Dumbarton wont be near the bottom 2 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 To add insult to injury should we make the play offs, I think we have a worse record than anyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvz2000 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 We definitely have improved lately and I am hoping we are about to start a push for survival starting with a win on Saturday which is a must win game , if we win I genuinely believe we will go on a run which will see us move off bottom spot . Really can’t afford any more draws and anything other than a victory on Saturday will condemn us to Div 2 . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win on Saturday, then maintain form, playoff place should be in reach, and Forfar for the automatic drop. If we lose on Saturday, then we're down, and Forfar have a decent chance of getting above Peterhead. If it's a draw, I think we're down, for sure., and Forfar for the play off place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 As far as I know, we have never won a playoff final since we got into League Two/Third division 20 years ago.Stop employing the biggest bottle merchant in Scottish football as your manager then and you might give yourselves a chance this time round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaithTheRover Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Stranraer and hopefully Forfar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus of the Mo Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Stranraer could yet surprise us, they are not losing, but not yet winning, so they don’t look demoralised and defeated. I don’t think Dumbarton or Forfar will go down, but Clyde and Peterhead are strong contenders for the drop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Stranraer will finish bottom. I'd love to see Clyde going down too. I reckon Queens Park will win the playoffs. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that cause you've been pumped twice from an apparent poor Clyde outfit? I think the two Dumbarton games in the next few weeks will have a major bearing on the relegation play-off dog fight. Anyhows enjoy the rest of the season.................................couldn't bear another season in the "2nd Div!! C'mon Danny get it sorted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
