squeezeboxson Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 To be fair, if we had won the game through at Livi a few weeks back (or even drew the game) then we wouldn't be half as worried at this stage. It is indeed, time to step up and earn our right to play in this league again next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed, time to step up and earn our right to play in this league again next year. Or if we had won that game against Alloa at home. I always feared that would come back to bite us on the arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FifeSons Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 I'd say livi will get one win looking at that, on paper, maybe a point at cappielow, but raith May take their foot of the gas Looking at our remaining fixtures, possibly 7/21 Morton, alloa wins, point against st mirren? On paper, they should have got nothing today. Means f**k all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) Do the playoffs still work the same way the did when we were in them? 1st Legs 2nd League 1 v 3rd League 1 4th League 1 v 9th Championship If so then everyone might want to have a wee look at who's sitting fourth in League One as we speak...Football's a funny game at times...

cedrick1 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Did we deserve to with the games mentioned above. I say no. By the last game raith will be resting players and guarding against inj and suspension . Take at face value 2 points ahead with a game in hand 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 We've got a couple of very reasonable home games and a must win away game. Morton at home is a game we will hopefully take something from. St Mirren shouldn't be beyond us. The Raith TV game will possibly be the toughest of our remaining home games, although Queen of the South will also be a difficult challenge. It may well come down to that last game v Alloa in order to secure 8th spot, but by that point Alloa will be down and we really couldn't ask for a better final game of the season. It's definitely a tough ask to pick up points between now and the end of the season but we have to believe that we're capable of doing so. If we don't believe that we can survive the last few games of the season and secure our Championship status for another season then we'd be as well giving up now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We beat Livi away too so that cancels it out We'll beat them next week too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking nothing for granted between now and the end of the season. Alloa away on the last day with the pressure off them and us needing something, let see how that could go wrong... Is 9th place and survival via play off's considered a success? Just asking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Is 9th place and survival via play off's considered a success? Just asking. Good question. If we survive I'll be delighted, no matter how we achieve it. Would I consider safety via the playoffs a success? Probably not. Stevie has had ample resources to keep us in this league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 9th place and a potential play off against Peterhead or Ayr doesn't fill me with too much confidence, 8th place please sons 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonsanorak Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Any form of survival is a success. Questions would be asked but if we were to stumble into 9th. I would nt be at all confident in the away games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BallochSonsFan Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 Any kind of results that end up guaranteeing our Championship status for another season is a success. If it has to be via the play-offs then its tougher than I'd like, but the end result is all that matters. Of the 3 teams that we could potentially face? I wouldn't particularly want to play any of them. Peterhead and Ayr are decent sides and the thought of Gibson consigning us to relegation if we were to face Stranraer is one of those quirks of football that can often come back to haunt a team. But we need to believe that we'll secure 8th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedrick1 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 You think that going down to play offs would be a disapointment but look at Cowdenbeath and Alloa over past years. Would still prefer to get a few wins and finish 7th 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
