Ron Aldo Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Sticking my neck out here but from watching this performance from Dundee United, I don't think we'll finish bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definately agree. Guy is class. He’s also very underrated and comfortable on the ball. Nice simple 10-15 yard passes on the deck. very rarely gives it away or plays it out the park. Wins a ball, plays it out, simples. Also is as hard a coffin nail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he showed up in Scotland without being on a list 6 other clubs with similar resources. The way things are now, 3 decent games in a row and someone working at a football club tasked with scouting will get an auto alert notification on their phone about him. Saying that sifting through forum posts, you'd get a decent idea too. I mean on what was on here in October, someone may be inclined to take a punt on Efford as a solution. I'm still intrigued to see what we look like if Butcher moves to midfield and Blaney backfills with Casey and McGinn. With Big Mandron due back soon as an option too up front. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezz Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Not totally out of the woods yet, but 10 points clear of 12th with 10 games to go, it would take a mental collapse from here to end up bottom. I can’t see each of the 3 teams below us going on good enough runs to all overtake us - particularly when we all start cutting each others throats after the split. Our goal difference is another extra wee cushion too. Playoffs are still a worry, but, like us, both County and Killie have fairly tough run ins to the split. If we can pick up another 3-4 points before the split we should still go into the last 5 games with a wee buffer over 11th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not writing off Easter Road but if you assume that and the OF bring zero, we should still have some kind of gap as long as we don't lose to United and Livi. However, we've shown we're capable of long winless runs before and the margins remain fine yada yada...so I'm taking nothing for granted yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Aye, without swinging too far in the happy clapper direction (we were pretty bad today imo), we probably have the best squad in the bottom four right now, and Kettlewell is, at worst, a competent Premiership manager. Something unusually weird will need to happen for County and Killie to be 7 points better than us over the next 10 games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 If we were sitting where Killie, County or Utd are now and watching one of them take 10 points out of 12 - we'd be thinking they were away and thinking it was a three horse race. Also - if we're in the playoff mix, so are St Johnstone who we've reeled in unexpectedly. I think if we don't lose the plot when we get beat next week and stay vaguely competitive, we'll be absolutely fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also one of the reasons a win is vitally important right now as we go into this break with confidence. Additionally, maybe some of the other injured players will be fit/train during this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 The Rangers game is a free hit but if we punch above our weight and they have an off day we'll never have a better chance of beating them. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
