RobbofordGHC Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Next ten games all in Edinburgh with (hopefully) 7 at Tynecastle, big chance for 20 - 25 points and a push back into the top 4. I'm going for 6 wins 4 draws so 22 points, anything less than 18 would be poor. What would you predict? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I certainly think one part of Levein's plan to get us back on the road to recovery is establishing a strong home record again. Nothing is cut and dried because of this long home spell. We've yet to convince we are confident and playing with authority on our own turf. Of course, I know we need the games to do that but you can look back at last season and see how we toiled. Different times though and a manager I have great confidence in but the players need to step up to the standard required. I hate predicting because I want to win every game but I suppose half a dozen wins would be a good return given where we are as a team just now.

Bazzas right boot Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Top of the league by Xmas. Walker signs a new deal. Moult joins in January along with shock signing Snodgrass on loan. We find a left footed left back who can play. When I read that back, the sad thing is that the left back is the most unlikely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamboelite Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 23 is a good return and would see us top 4/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamtartan74 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 5 wins 3 draws 2 defeats 18 points, still a decent effort imo, anything more would be great. (Obv want 30 points though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No predictions from me (I'm guessing we'll lose at least one we all thought we'd win - probably against a team struggling) but a 10 game unbeaten run would be incredible. That form would have us up to 3rd minimum. It's definitely possible with all those home games and hopefully that's how we're looking at it.

VALDOS Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 With the team as it is i would expect around 18 points from those games. I think the first back at Tynecastle might be one of the big let downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 If we have the 7 at Tynecastle I’d hope for 20 points as being hopefully realistic. More than 20 would be superb. Under Levein I’m confident of it. A manager who can manage at Home is exciting compared to what we endured most recently. Onwards and upwards.

Bazzas right boot Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 7/8 wins would be good, more fantastic. Anything below 6 wins would be a bit shit. 7 wins , a draw and two defeats.

jambo-in-furness Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Lets not not overestimate our home results, a marked improvement in our performance will do for me, at present we are far from convincing.

letsalldothebeattie Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Massive chance for us to set a marker down with a great run of form. Should be no excuse for any slip ups being at home for the next 2 months. With the exception of Celtic who I always see as a free hit we should be taking a good chunk of points in this run. Would love to see us take 27/30 before going away to St Johnstone tough ask I know but even if we can take 21-24 pts that would put us in a good league position heading into the break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 There absolutely should be at least 5 or 6 wins in there so less than 20 points would disappoint me. The prospect of results like 1-1 draws with Ross Co is just depressing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I always think we should be aiming for 7 points from every 3 homes games played and 4 points from every 3 away games. Gives a minimum 66 point season with 1 home and 1 away to spare. A draw against Hibs would have us on 12 points from 9 away games, so bang on 4 points per 3 away games.
