I'm crossing my fingers that Levein can get a Europa spot. I too hope you get a Europa league spot at the expense of SevCo. Realistically 17-20 points from your 10 games in Edinburgh would be a good result (imo) and hopefully put you in contention. 7 games in December (if you include your away game against us) will test the squad depth with suspensions, injuries and just plain tiredness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterboy11 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I think the next three games will very much determine how well we do. Anything less than 4 points and we could have a few confidence problems leading into the tynecastle games. St Johnstone we’re poor against in recent seasons, hibs should take care of itself and surely the SFA’s darlings will have the usual helping hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next 6 all at Tynecastle are very winnable, and that has to be our target! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top two spots are taken by yourself and Celtic. I think Rangers will get 3rd as I think against the rest of the league, they'll accumulate more points than us. Motherwell and definitely St Johnstone might have something to say about were we finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this, just not sure if we will have that sort of consistency and injuries seem to be creeping into the squad For sure, it will be a rollercoaster ride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take top six and a semi final appearance and we go again next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watt-Zeefuik Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I will frankly be shocked if we don't manage 20 points in that span. 25 is probably the best we could hope for but 21-23 seems about right as a prediction. 15 points from 11 home games is what Cathro got us last season in the league and there's no chance at all we'll be that bad through this stretch.

Hearts v Rangers...draw Hearts v Killie ...Hearts win Hearts v Patrick..Hearts win Hearts v Ross county...Ross county win Hearts v. Hamilton... Hearts win Hearts v Motherwell... Motherwell win Hearts v Dundee... Hearts win Hearts v Celtic... Celtic win Hearts v St Johnstone ...draw Hearts v Hibs.....Draw 15 points.......4th... 3rd if Rangers collapse.

RobbofordGHC Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 I had the first two of the ten as draws, so though I feel desperatly disappointed after Easter Road we are actually a point ahead of where I thought. Still hoping when we get back to Tynecastle we can build some momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEVEN! Are you aware in the last 20 SPL games we have scored 3 or more goals in exactly ZERO of them. Not once. Nada, nil, zilch times. And that we have only scored 2 goals in 4 of those 20 games.

There's nothing much between the clubs other than Celtic, which means one nil wins and draws for many games.... 3 wins and your in third place. 20,000 seats for euro games is a great incentive.....
