However Ross County could be dragged into it again as I'm still not convinced by them overall, I think it's a two team battle between United an killie though, would expect that Kilmarnock would be better prepared for a battle under an experienced manager like Mcinnes though. Much as I'd like this to be true, with only 3 points between the bottom 2 and County and only another one to Motherwell, it's far from a 2-horse race at the bottom. After Saturday both Killie and Utd could be going into the break level with County and just a point behind 'well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btb Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 (edited) Four teams are on 20 points, three should be sleeping with one eye open, Saints, Hibs & the Fakes - I'd say only Hearts are safe from a bottom two slot.

We seem completely incapable of scrapping our way to a one nil win or taking anything from a tight match, but if we score first and get on top we can look very good. As Michael Stewart says we’re way too soft. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I reckon we will continue winning 4-0 and losing 3 for the rest of the season. Talented group but soft as shite with two prize winners in goal. Non Lafferty away from home Killie looking they would be relegation candidates in the championship. Killie + Lafferty+ Rugby Park look completely different. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killie + Lafferty+ Rugby Park look completely different. Still a wee while before Lafferty is back. Will having a shite pitch be enough? Only if someone else absolutely collapses, imo. It's possible, I suppose. I don't see United being shite enough to finish below Killie; Motherwell are pretty shit but have a few decent players; the Johnnies are turgid, but in a good way for a shit team plus they've got Clark. County aren't great but their awful racist manager isn't an awful manager and they'll win enough games to stay clear of the drop. So, it's Killie. Unless it's United or Motherwell. Or the Maureens. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending more time in the Championship in the last decade does not mean they have finished in the bottom 2 more often than Hearts, (although they might have, I'm sure the guardians of Gorgie's honour will set me right) so I'm sure all advice and experience from Scotland's third biggest club might be welcome.

Allroy for Prez Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) This is our year I’m afraid. A perfect storm of rookie manager, no quality in a paper thin squad with a growing injury list to compound it.

Handsome_Devil Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 It's close enough there's no certainty, anyone with a good or bad January window could move to safety or sink like a stone. Motherwell certainly play like a relegation side - indeed we're reminiscent of when we should have gone down in 2003. We're not as bad as that, obviously, but despite being competitive nearly every week we find increasingly comical ways to throw away points. We're both where we hoped to be, given being cut adrift by this stage was a genuine fear two games into the season, and in serious bother. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lex Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Right. They keep losing to relegation teams, but have the squad and finance that ensures they’ll be comfortably safe by season’s end. We have Terry Butcher on the line from 2014, and he wants his post back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
