Considering the respective points tallies of everyone in mid-October, its probably more telling about the size of collapse Livingston have had more than any league wide issue.

Is it really 3 points in 17 games for livi? Ooft. 

Hadn’t appreciated it was quite so bad.

Yeah, 3 draws.

They havent won a league game since October 7th.

Motherwell are at Tynecastle tomorrow and have Celtic at home next Sunday. Difficult fixtures after that as well - not many points coming our way for the foreseeable. Too many draws and not enough 3 points taking its toll (not being able to see out a 3 goal lead certainly doesn't help).

Aye, I don't expect we'll be adding many points to our tally between now and the end of March with Hearts, Celtic and Rangers in 3 of the next 4 games. The other game away to Livi midweek is huge. Lose that along with expected losses in the other 3 and we could be right back in the dirt.

A MONUMENTAL day in the relegation battle.

Livingston with their first win in years, with Ross County losing, ignites hope that Livingston could somehow avoid 12th.

They meet next week in a proper 6 pointer.

And then there was six...

Think ill remove Dundee from these, theyre effectively 2 wins from guaranteed safety and have 13 games to get them. Zero chance they get dragged into it it now.

St Johnstone v Rangers tomorrow the last game of the weekend. 

Livingstons next two games are Ross County and Motherwell. This is it for them, this is the chance to create chaos in the bottom half.

I think we’ll definitely come 11th at best. We are so easy to score against it’s incredible. Any sort of physicality in midfield will see us overrun, too.

Yep we really do miss some kind of hammer thrower in midfield.

We started to look extremely sound structurally with Randall and Allardice together. God knows when they’ll both be back. I fear until then.

That’s the bother when you don’t get wins. Is that something like 3 wins between the bottom six clubs in the last 7 matches?!

You can kid yourself you’re not in imminent danger as there is what seems like a big gap to far worse teams below, but when/if they find a bit of form then it’s a case of everyone suddenly starting to panic. 

Livi had taken 3 points from 17 matches yet they’re only 3 behind County and 8 behind Saints and still to play both twice. 
 

Saints, like others, have sleepwalked ourselves right back into this. Played Rangers, Kilmarnock, Livingston, Aberdeen, Motherwell, Ross County, Hearts and Dundee since mid-December and taken 6 points in total.

A midfield three of Holt/Carson/Sangare should be a laugh up there then
