It would be madness to give folk a sniff of a few quid on us now, but I think everyone at the club recognises how important it is not to f**k this up and will keep the heads firmly screwed on.

Och I'm no doubt getting ahead of myself (as per), but I'm just buzzing about how well this season is going and I'm no longer expecting a collapse. See these next few games through, and send Hamilton home with a sore arse and no points, and we're nearly there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do tend to think that we are due a wobble at some point as it hasn’t happened yet, and I really hope that doesn’t start tomorrow. However I was looking at how many points I think we need to win the league from here and I think if we win our home games and drew our away games (that’s an average of 2 points per game, and we are currently doing about 2.6 points per game), I couldn’t see Hamilton closing the gap adequately. So yes, I agree we should have enough even if we have a couple of losses along the way. But then again it’s Falkirk we are talking about…. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, lose tomorrow and Hamilton could have it in their own hands. Game in hand and two more games against us. I don't think we're anywhere near "more or less" being done. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartA Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Don't want to even think about the title until the flag's half way up the pole. We've been through too much in the past 6-7 years to get ahead of ourselves. At the same time, it's that experience that should now make us more resilient and, dare I say it, humble. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Hamilton vs Stirling rearranged for Saturday 20th January. So looks we'll only have the extra game for one round of fixtures which is a shame 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've worked to get it in a position where everything is down to us. Now we just need to ram it home. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because as we go into the 2nd half of the season, the opposition are going to be more adept at countering the teams playing style. Nothing won yet and there is a long way to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are you know. I think what we're going to see in that regard, we've seen already. Q2 is when everyone has had a good look. In Q3, the squad depth, full time status etc should come to bear hopefully 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So looks we'll only have the extra game for one round of fixtures which is a shame Don’t think it matters too much. I think this week is fairly pivotal until the mid Feb. We ‘could’ be 11 points clear by tomorrow. Then you’d imagine we’ll be too strong for Edinburgh and you’re hoping Cove may get a draw or so on Saturday at Hamilton. That could potentially open up a 13/14 point gap. All ifs buts and maybes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Looking forward to tomorrow’s game. McGlynn will look to players like McGinn to keep the players heads straight and with absolutely no press for best part of five years, suddenly we’ve become back page news. Players just need to concentrate on what they’ve done really well for 19 games. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is more or less what Coll Donaldson said in his post match interview. Basically saying he’ll leave all the predictions and stats to the media and fans, but the team just focus on the next game in front of them and prepare the same.

GMBairn Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 As long as the players keep that professional attitude that's what matters and we can all go wild. I think if we win tomorrow we will have opened up a huge gap, Hamilton and their fans will know every game is a must win if we go 11 clear. If they then dropped points to cove at home on Saturday I think it would be over and I think they would know it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So looks we'll only have the extra game for one round of fixtures which is a shame Wouldn't be surprised though if this game gets cancelled again with Stirling having a grass pitch and it being mid January. Re the fixtures, I think we will have a much better picture as to where we are all at mid to late February. Looking at the next 5 rounds of fixtures there are a lot of challenging ones for us, Accies and Cove, often playing each other. Not long to wait to see how it all shakes out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
