RudiHMFC Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 I'm still optimistic, we've had a tough run of games in a short space of time but we can put that behind us now, Killie are doing well but we can definitely beat them at home then things will be looking good for us again. Won't be moaning or chucking the towel in while we sit top of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjambo51 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 My glass is certainly not half empty when I believe that we should be looking to compete with Sevco, Dons and Hibs etc Being realistic - a Club of our resources with the devastating injuries we have ,cannot hope to compete with Celtic. If this sounds negative then so be it. Hope we can stay in top 3 as we enter 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnasher75 Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Rangers will play the same number of games as Celtic over the same period including 3 Europa League ties but they will play one more league game. Rangers games: Motherwell (H) Livingston (H) Hearts (A) Aberdeen (H) Dundee (A) Hamilton (H) Hibs (A) St Johnstone (A) Hibs (H) Celtic (H) Really big game for us against them at Tynecastle on 2nd December, the Sunday after they play Villareal.

Jambomuzz Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Pretty sure as long as we win out next 3 league matches we will be at least 4 points clear at the top of the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Even with a depleted squad we have a lot of winnable games up to the break. We'll probably have to eke out wins but we're capable of doing so. I'm confident we can take enough points to, at least, be in in touch by late December then, with Vanacek, and injured returnees, mount a challenge from January onwards. It's been a great start to the season but it's how you end it that counts. I genuinely feel we can finish as strongly as we've begun. I have a dream and I'm not giving it up.

Bauld Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 They say it's not how you start but how you finish. We were fortunate enough to start strongly and in doing so we have given ourselves a cushion. We can use that cushion to nurse ourselves along until we regain our strength. After that we can have a go at a strong finish. There is still much to play for and I am certainly not prepared to give up on this season. The injuries we have suffered will heal with time still on our side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Celtic only a point behind and with a game in hand, I thought that was just wishful thinking. But then I looked at the fixtures. Celtic don't play their game in hand until the end of January. And, if our December looks busy with 7 league games, Celtic's is even worse with a League Cup final and a Europa League match as well as 7 league games, culminating in away games at Pittodrie and Ibrox to be played between Christmas and New Year. Hearts league games: Kilmarnock (H) St Mirren (A) Rangers (H) St Johnstone (A) Motherwell (H) Livingston (A) Aberdeen (A) Hamilton (H) Hibs (A) Celtic league games: Livingston (A) Hamilton (A) Motherwell (A) Kilmarnock (H) Hibs (A) Motherwell (H) Dundee (H) Aberdeen (A) Rangers (A) Clearly other teams may be in the mix as well but unlike us they all have to play Celtic. So could we still be top in January? It's not impossible. Sorry not a chance. Celtic will be around 8 points clear by then. Our realistic target is 2nd place, and I would hope we can keep things going with our seriously weakened squad and be in that position come the break. The big target for me is the SC - so hopefully we will have Berra and Naismith back for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps but I think football always requires good fortune. Many games are played on a fine line. The smallest variables must fall the right side of the line in order to attain the result you want. The simple bounce of a ball on a bit of turf that takes it 3cm left can be the difference between a win and a draw. Even a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Jambo Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Realistically we need Celtic to come undone. Lets hope that a couple of Premier League teams sack their manager and Brendan Rodgers is tempted back down South. The uncertainty that would follow may be our only hope.

skinnybob72 Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Celtic will be so far over the horizon come the winter break we won't even see them. And the the sad thing is they may not the only team to be ahead of us. After tomorrow we probably won't see top spot again this season. Sadly, as usual, injuries have played a huge part in our season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvery_Moon Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Injuries have killed any chance of a challenge at the top.
