lichtie23 Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 A win and we should be safe. The games against Cove have been pretty turgid this season and I expect this to be the same. I think we have enough quality about us just now to get the win. Win the game, relegate Cove and then sign Megginson in the summer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win the game, relegate Cove and then sign Megginson in the summer. To be honest I doubt you want Mitch nowadays. I never thought I would say that. Could well be because he has no Rory-esque striker next to him all season to compete for aerial balls, win knock downs or flick ons for him to run onto. He's been coming deep searching for the ball, coming out wide and generally looked very poor as a consequence. You want him playing on the last man or in and around the box. Hard for me to say but he's probably a top end L1 striker and nothing beyond that. I'm not expecting him to get close to his L1 tally of last season in 2023/2024. 31 in July, likely peaked already Edited April 16, 2023 by CoveRangers1922 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many do you think you lot will bring through on Saturday? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Got to play Bobby or El Mhanni!!! Got to go for this. I’d give Bobby an hour then put El Mhanni on after. Please. Also get Cove fans put in that wee corner if they’ve not sold over 300 by Friday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledLichtie Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 On Sunday, I figured that a couple 0-0s against Cove and Hamilton would do the job. But after that result, lets go for the win! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 There’s several different ways this could pan out but we are pretty much safe now but would be good to confirm it for ourselves and also doom Cove in the process. Over 3k here please 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would too but it’s too late as tickets have been on sale for a while. I hope they do it for the Accies game though, if we’re safe or not. It would be a nice thank you gesture for the fans. Obviously it would be of no benefit to season ticket holders but would be good to do all the same.

farflung lichtie Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 (edited) Getting a little ahead of ourselves. Tough, nervy game on Saturday against opposition we haven’t beat these past 3 occasions. Cove have only narrowly lost out to Queens and ICT their past two games so still in with a shout. Larger home crowds at Gayfield have often been associated with a less than joyful spectacle, if not worse. So let’s keep things real and hope the crowd lend support when needed.

It’s at the stage now where I think we could literally pick up zero points and be ok. It’ll really be something if we finish in the bottom 2. I agree with the sentiment and I am always incredibly pessimistic and worried when it comes to supporting Arbroath and Scotland too but I just half feel like that tonight has pretty much sealed the deal. But yeah it’ll be back to reality tomorrow and I’ll start shiteing myself again. Cove have to win this too, even if it’s a fat chance they catch us they could still finish 9th and give themselves a chance in the play off. Could be some game 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36-0 Maroon Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Roll on Maroon all Aroon on Saturday ️ Biggest game of the Season to date. After the season we have had Survival would feel absolutely incredible and pretty special to achieve as it’s always our main goal. From the Highs of last Season to the emotional rollercoaster of this one. Never a dull one with the Super Smokies 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
