I think the best chance for other Championship clubs next season would be Ross County coming down.

Precisely why I said I'd much rather welcome down Killie or Accies over them. Both of those teams have potential for stagnation and even a bit of a collapse. Ol' Roy however will just chuck another few million at the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thereisalight.. Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 How many home games will the bottom 3 have in the post split fixtures? I know it's not the same factor without fans, but home advantage could make the difference especially on the "plastic" pitches 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More chance of 6 National Lottery jackpot wins of £50 million in a 3 month period. Than of United or St Mirren being relegated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if either team were arithmetically safe someone would have said so by now, it's go to be a slim chance if it's one at all though. Not that I'd want to rob you of the fun of a full on collapse at Tannadice. Saints are safe from automatic relegation. Its early morning but I don't think we can get 12th as there isn't enough games for all of 10th to 12th given they are playing each other. Hamilton need points from all remaining 5 games, Killie need 4 wins. If both those sides get 4 wins (and a draw for Accies), then Ross County can only get 10 points when they need 11. If County get what they need then something has to give for Killie or Accies. Playoffs, however are possible but would need a pretty freak set of results. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't think we can end up in the play off position. It's not just a case of every team below us winning every game they have because as we know the remaining games are against those who also need to win every game - and there's only 5 games left. Like you though, I'm not going to officially call it, purely because I've not sat down and worked it out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Again, without working it out, I'm pretty sure that for, let's say, the bottom two teams to catch us, that would also necessitate that at least two of the others wouldn't pick up enough points to catch us. Sadly I really can't be bothered to do the maths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't finish 12th, but we can finish 11th if Accies win 5, Killie win 4, Well win 2 (against us and United) , United win 1 (against us) and County win 3 but finish bottom. Just an example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Yous played well enough last night. Definitely should be strong enough for 2nd place imo. I agree about your manager though- should be doing so much better. Interesting prediction considering Dundee haven’t spent a single week this season in 2nd place. Not saying you’re wrong but the way things are going they’ve as much chance of ending outside the playoffs as in second as everyone is beating everyone in the Championship, Hearts are the only team who are assured their position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 County being relegated is the worst scenario for us jobber clubs. They’ve won the Championship next season before a ball is kicked if they go down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Actually, I just did...

Hamilton need all five wins to beat us; County and Killie need four wins each, which obviously they can't do if they've both lost to Accies and also have to play each other. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Coast Warrior Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 We could get points deductions for fielding an ineligible player or something stupid. It wouldn’t be the first time and could help win that unlikely 1000/1 bet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Starko Rover Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Can’t see anyone in the Championship being consistent enough to win the Playoffs so club 11 should stay up this season. Surely Accies won’t go down, the standard great escape on game 38. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
