A win against Alloa I think we see us out of their reach but we’ve still work to do to get far enough away from 9th. I'm confident (I'm usually pessimistic as hell when it comes to us). I'd take us to comfortably beat Alloa again. It's in our own hands and it's a position I'd rather be in than Alloa and Arbroath's. Just need a few of our players to buck up their ideas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I don’t share people’s confidence that we’re now safe. This league shows how quickly things can turn what with us going from a team in a massive free fall now looking like a pretty competent outfit but it can easily be reversed. We’ve got 6 games left and I’d say we need to get around 10 points from them to be safe. Not 100% confidence but it would take quite the f**k up to mess it up now. Things are a bit more stable and one of the positives to come out of today was that they came back from a goal down to get a point and didn't fold like a cheap deckchair which they were prone to earlier in the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 You'd need to be unlucky to go down with anything over 30 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazza Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 The Scottish cup doesn't have a sponsor at the moment. Is some of tv money pooled into prize money or SFA paying out their own pockets? Need to be professional at Elgin but given their lay off we should be able to make 3 or 4 changes and be confident of a result. McKenzie should start again the more match time he gets the better and good game for chances. Barjonas also see how he gets on. How far is Wright from fitness?, hopefully get 20 mins on Tuesday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams in 2,3 & 4 have all played 1 or 2 games less than us and they would only need 7 points from 7 or 8 games to reach 37 points. That's not that big an ask. That said, this league is absolutely mental. I think 4th place will be around the 40 point mark. Whilst not impossible, we'd need to go on a run right now and win 5 of our 6 remaining games. Let's start at Alloa on Saturday and see where it takes us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMIP Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Folk are off their head if they think we are safe from relegation. Need 30 points as a minimum which is perfectly doable, but we still need to put the points on the board. McKenzie deserves credit for his performance on Tuesday, but in general, we still lack a coherent or consistent goal threat which makes every game a challenge. Alloa really need to beat us on Saturday which might make for a more open game which should help us create a few more chances.. Once we’re at 30 points, we can take stock and start to indulge promotion playoff fairytales. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon if we beat Alloa, draw with Dunfermline and beat Arbroath that'll put us in a very good position for the last two games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 (edited) Not a chance we’re out the relegation dog fight yet. A win on Saturday vs Alloa would put us 11 clear of them with five games left so I’d say we could rule out finishing bottom but still a lot to be done to avoid 9th.

diegomarahenry Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I think it will be between Dundee and Inverness for the last play-off place, Raith look to be doing what we do every year, consolidate a play-off place then try and chuck in away before clinging on to fourth. I think we will finish 6th currently. Purely because we are relying on 5 teams to drop a lot of points between now and the end of the season and in a league of 10 teams, if someone is dropping points, someone is winning them. We don't have enough games left to mount any challenge in my opinion. Beating Alloa on Saturday would all but end any outside chance of automatic relegation. But I think it may come down to the last couple of games before we are safe from the relegation play-offs. Next Saturday you have Hearts probably beating QOTS, Inverness Probably beating Arbroath and the other two games are probably anyone's guess. In terms of the promotion play-off places we would be no better off and be a game further on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrunitedfw Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Brett McGavin has returned to Ipswich according to match preview. Clearly a panic signing by MK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Oh Brett, we will never forget those 12 minutes against Hearts. Given he’s away back down the road it was a really bizarre signing tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) The fact McGavin was (i think) up for a good wee while last season training and we didn't sign him makes it all the more strange that we went for it this time and between 3 different managers only deemed him worth one short sub appearance. Surely an attitude thing, considering he should be of at least a similar level as Drinan or Ndaba who have been very impressive.
