baillieinleeds Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Get yourself lifted son, it's all to play for. For every team in the bottom 5. The fans want the team to do well, but the team haven't the heart, skill or determination to get out of this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Terrace Gazza Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 The side sitting bottom of the table - a place they've occupied since September - are safe. What a ridiculous post. They will be comfortably safe if they keep playing the way they have for the past few months. This is a different team to the one languishing at the bottom without a win.

This is a different team to the one languishing at the bottom without a win. Of course. There's no guarantee they will though. St Mirren have a lot of tough game left and they could easily lose a few of them without playing terribly. They are far from safe but considering they looked dead and buried a few months ago, it's a big improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandarilla Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 "safe unless you have a spectacular collapse" - we're still bottom for FFS [emoji38] The reverse psychology from fans of all clubs on this thread, including myself, is embarrassing and hilarious in equal measure.

I'm certainly not using reverse psychology, there's just no way we are going to take the same or more points from the remaining games as yourselves.

Most likely be miles off with teams scrapping for their lifes results are hard to predict but here goes... St Mirren Ayr (H) - 1 Dumbarton (H) - 3 Morton (A) - 1 Falkirk (A) - 0 Dundee Utd (A) - 0 Raith (H) - 3 Hibs (A) – 1 Total – 9 Trying not to go overboard with optimism, would like to think we could win all 3 home games but it’s just not St Mirren, and we are incapable of winning 3 league games in a row. Ayr St Mirren (A) - 1 QoS (H) - 1 Dundee Utd (H) - 0 Morton (A) - 0 Hibs (H) - 0 Raith (A) - 1 Total – 3 Think their mini run of form will falter, they’ll be hard to beat but just lacking in quality I think. Dumbarton Morton (H) - 0 St Mirren (A) - 0 Dunfermline (H) - 3 QoS (A) - 0 Dundee Utd (A) - 0 Falkirk (H) - 1 Total – 4 Only beaten Raith (twice) since the new year, too many draws and run off bad form at the wrong time will kill them I think. Raith Rovers Falkirk (A) - 0 Dunfermline (A) - 0 Morton (H) - 1 Hibs (A) - 0 St Mirren (A) - 0 Ayr (A) – 1 Total - 2 Hard run-in of fixtures, could all come down to the last game away to Ayr but their away form is woeful. Dunfermline Hibs (H) – 0 Raith (H) - 3 Dundee Utd (A) 0 Dumbarton (A) – 0 Falkirk (H) - 1 Morton (H) - 1 QoS (A) – 1 Total - 6 Should do enough to stay up, probably only need 1 win. Queen of the South Dundee Utd (H) - 0 Ayr (A) - 1 Hibs (A) - 0 Dumbarton (H) - 3 Falkirk (A) - 0 Dunfermline (H) – 1 Total – 5 Same as Dunfermline, 1 win needed most likely. Final Table Queen of the South - 41 Dunfermline - 41 St Mirren - 36 Dumbarton - 35 Raith Rovers - 35 Ayr United - 34 Raith to lose out on goal difference, a last minute own goal by John McGinn at Easter Road securing saints safety. Well as I thought.. not even close with the first round of predictions! Managed to not jinx St Mirren by predicting a victory though . Only got Falkirk beating Raith correct, great win for Dumbarton to leapfrog Raith. QoS are safe now and Dunfermline will be if they win against Raith next weekend.

Broken Algorithms Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 If there was ever a time to have our usual 90th minute goal to leave Ayr ruined and keep us safe, that would be utter scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Div Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 I think Dunfermline will beat Raith this weekend and that will secure their safety. Pars are a decent outfit and won't be involved in the final frantic finale. 6th spot for them. Dumbarton just keep picking up points and as the top scorers in the league away from home I can't really see that changing. A proper team spirit there. Reckon they will finish 7th. Raith are for me the side in the most danger. They have the worst away record in the league and 3 of their next 4 are on the road. In those four they face Dunfermline, Morton, Hibs and then St.Mirren. It's perfectly possible they won't get a single point in that run which would leave them on 33 points going into the final day with Ayr. Ayr were a shambles on Saturday but that came on the back of three games in a week which seems to be something they struggle with. They won't have to do that again and they could definitely look to get something from the forthcoming two home games against QoS and a collapsing Dundee Utd. By the time Hibs go to Somerset the league should be won so that could yet throw up an opportunity. I wouldn't be shocked to see Ayr on 35 points come the last day of the season when they travel to Raith. St.Mirren are in good form but still bottom of the table and the loss of Lewis Morgan will be a blow. The game in hand we have over the three above us is away to Morton and they will be desperate to beat us again and their home form is fantastic. I think we've more chance of getting points at Tannadice than Falkirk but Raith on the second last game is a must win. All things being equal I'd expect Saints to be on 37 points going into the last game of the season away at Hibs. So I'm going for a last weekend of the season which starts with St.Mirren on 37, Ayr on 35 and Raith on 33. St.Mirren will thus be safe from automatic relegation, but an Ayr win at Kirkcaldy and a Saints defeat at Hibs will push the buddies into the play offs. A Raith win would put them into the play offs and relegate Ayr. Either way, that last day of the season in Kirkcaldy is shaping up to be huge.

Boghead ranter Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 That stat about us being the league's top scorers away from home is amazing considering a year ago we could barely get our players to all tie their laces correctly, far less score an away goal.

Poet of the Macabre Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 We should hopefully be safely in mid-table obscurity by the last day of the season. If so, I'll be heading along to Starks for the Ayr. An absolute cracker on paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
