What do we have to lose?We were most people’s favourites to go down at the start of the season, heads won’t roll if we don’t win the league We’re going through our worst spell of the season and have managed to get through it relatively unscathed. If Killie don’t go up they’ll be looking at their bank account like I do after a night out, hoping for the best but expecting the worst

Again, so close to the prize, priorities change. Pressure is on both clubs for vastly differing reasons.

Nothing to lose? Really? 

It would seem that Arbroath are riding their luck just now. 

You've had an exceptional season but Killie really have to get out of this league. 

8 cup finals to go for both clubs. 

Good teams find ways to get results, currently what we are doing, staying in this league will not worsen our financial position, but a second season in this league will probably damage Killie, us, we have been top for ten games, 10, Killie really need to take a look at themselves, for this to have happened

Killie aren't a good team though, but we remarkably remain in the hunt in a piss poor league. The time for our post mortem is at the end of the season, regardless of the league that we are in. 

Realism goes out of the window for football fans. Arbroath avoided relegation many weeks ago and are now on the cusp of something quite remarkable. Pressure is on.

Killie have spunked all that money in January and are absolutely shitting themselves. There’s more pressure on them than us.

No pressure on us, our objective has been reached. Killie don't go up = disaster. Arbroath don't go up = unlucky but a great season.

Dont listen to propaganda from Ayr fans. 

Of course it's important that we go up, the infrastructure of the whole club is geared for the Premier league. 

However, the once in a lifetime chance that Arbroath have given themselves piles the pressure on.

I find the narrative that Arbroath have been riding their luck, whilst Killie aren't quite funny.

Weve dissected our failings all season, but with 8 games to go the support is galvanised and behind the team, manager and club.

You have. You've ridden your luck since the 1 0 against us where our normally reliable keeper chucked one in the net for you.

Countless times in the past that we’re the team struggling, dominate teams at the top and come away with nothing so its nice for roles to be reversed for a change.
Anyway cheers for the 12 points and all the best for the rest of the season

I’m not an Arbroath supporter. 

Since then, Kilmarnock have lost to Ayr at home, scraped by Dunfermline and then drawn with them. In that time, Arbroath haven’t lost.

The form teams last 10 games are Killie and Ayr, Morton not far behind.
