If that's the standard in the top 4 I would say ICT would win the playoff's I've heard a few comments along the same lines suggesting that whoever finishes 9th will likely stay up, but I think it's far too early to be confident of that. Having seen us get promoted through them a couple of years ago despite being relatively poor for most of the season, I believe it's all about momentum at the right time. If Airdrie, for example, were to slide down the table and find themselves in a playoff tie against an on form Alloa I certainly wouldn't be putting any money on them staying up. Arbroath on the other hand have struggled massively this season, but if they somehow claw their way out of the bottom spot they'll be feeling good about themselves and I'd give them a real shot of staying up. It's all about how you find yourself in 9th come the end of the season (and the form of the League One playoff sides). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally this, we had a decent season last year and were second for most of the season. We got some injuries, players/management focused on the Scottish Cup semi and we went into the play off in poor form and Airdrie who had found good form battered us and saw off Accies in the final. It’s all about how you go into the plays offs. Edited February 25 by Harry Kinnear 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneteaminglasgow Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Having watched both Accies and Caley this season, I’d have Caley as favourites in that matchup. In that game, Accies looked incredibly suspect at the back in particular. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accies only chance is getting Ryan Fulton and Scott Martin back for the play offs and if they punt Rankin that could give them a lift. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing relegation play off's low on confidence becomes a great leveler. I think ICT have some decent players but a team low on confidence I suppose anything can happen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re a soft side with no real goal threat. Still think Arbroath will finish bottom and whoever finishes 9th will stay up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vril Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 what's this BGM patter with Bullen? I have seen him being referred to that multiple times but can't find anywhere what it means On the question of relegation, I cannot see Arbroath being able to make up the gap - the late equaliser for Inverness on Saturday was huge. For the playoff spot I reckon it s a toss-up between Inverness & Dunfermline, both of whom I expect would be too strong to be troubled by whoever the contenders are from 2nd/3rd/4th in League 1. It's not too late for QP or Airdrie to get pulled into the mix either, but I expect it to be between the pars & caley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will boil down to whoever has the worst injury list now. Anyone could find themselves in the playoffs as nobody has a real depth of squad in the bottom half of league. But yes, Airdrie do stink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not beyond the realms of possibility that we go above Ayr tomorrow night. I fully accept we're in amongst it, but likewise I can't understand not thinking that Ayr, Airdrie and QP are also kicking about in the brown stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Morton keep doing what they're doing they could really challenge Thistle for third but I don't see the current top four changing. Dundee Utd or Raith will win the league, the other will finish second and one of Thistle and Morton will make up the rest of the top four. Everyone outside of the top four is still in the mix. The Pars have a game in hand on Ayr, one point behind them and play them at East End on Saturday, before Friday I couldn't see how we would escape 9th place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
