jagfox Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 All these permutations relying on Dundee to LOSE to Cove, show it is their title to throw away. I doubt that will happen. ICT showing good form going into the playoffs too. Closely followed by Dundee with everybody else middling to struggling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would take something ridiculous like Cove scoring two worldie overhead kicks in a single game, but that would never happen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 (edited) One game at a time for me - not looking ahead to the Cove game - it's Friday's match at Somerset and us up in Inverness that I am focused on.

Liam899 Posted April 19, 2023 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Any team can make a case for lamenting shite periods in the season. We’ve chopped and changed and being pish for half a season and are still top. We’ve gained a lot of consistency in recent months which has allowed us to catch Queens Park, aided and abetted by them too, granted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hk blues Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 17 hours ago, an86 said: My point is that Cove gives you a bit of breathing space. Beat them, as you almost certainly will, then you’ve got at least one hand on the trophy, regardless of what happens on Friday/Saturday. It would mean someone else having to get to 62 points, which looks odds against. My point was if we had played Cove earlier we would have those 3 points on the board now i.e. 4 points clear rather than 1 so we would already have that breathing space and the league would be all but over now. (assuming we swap it for a game we dropped points in and if we're playing hypotheticals I'll use that hypothesis!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we do or not is a different matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Absolute state of this article. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/scottish-championship-promotion-fight-predicted-29754911.amp Firstly, they say Inverness sit on 54 points but Partick Thistle are 3rd with 52 points. Then go on to predict that Ayr will finish in a play-off spot by finishing 5th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
