tartofmidlothian Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Three points behind on the back of a couple of very good wins. Our best players coming back. Rangers have a game in hand, but we would have been even closer without the Dundee brainfart. We can do this, can't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Without a doubt. Killie away is the hardest away fixture after the OF these days and we've beaten them twice on their rubbishy pitch now this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Turn Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 I wouldn’t say so at the moment. We’re certainly in with a chance of top 4. Two good wins on the trott but we need to show a level of consistency over a longer period of time which Killie and Aberdeen have done and as we did at the start of the season. Time will tell but certainly more optimistic with Uche and Haring still to return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Yes, but it will be tight. Aberdeen and celtic at Tynecastle this round, rangers away. Taking away first place as a realistic target now, we could do with Celtic battering rangers and Aberdeen every game. Clarke gutted we done to to them what they did at Tynecastle, but we done it in style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 No. We can't seem to beat the huns. If we do beat them then absolutely but its not looking like it. I think 'honest mistakes' start to increase as we get to the end of the season too. I think our time has been and gone this season. Losing Berra, Souttar, Uche & Naismith ****ed everything. We should finish in a Europa League spot though, I think we have a better squad than Killie and Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 We've managed to stay in touch despite 4-5 months of terrible injuries to the spine of the team that was smashing the league in the first round of fixtures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboGraham Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 3 points off 2nd at the moment and still with matches to play against the other challengers. Of course we are in the race for second.

Mr Elwood P Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 It really is a massive week for Rangers. They played Aberdeen away in the league and Kilmarnock away in the cup. Could be season over with us 3 points behind them or they could be clear in 2nd and in the hat for the Quarter Finals. Could do with a draw in Aberdeen's next two games to aid our chances of getting 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts00 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Absolutely not. We are still far from good enough. I expect us to go well into the end of the season but we are still lacking technically. Far too many players too quick to lump the ball forward. As good as Berra is for us, his distribution is utterly appalling. Not inconceivable we could finish third though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take Celtic in the quarter finals at Tynecastle and if Kilmarnock beat Rangers in the cup it is wide open. We've beat every team in the league apart from Rangers at least once this season so a Scottish Cup win isn't inconceivable. We stopped Celtic's unbeaten run, perhaps we could stop their treble treble. I'd tend to think Rangers will finish 2nd but they are still very fragile. We could be 2nd by the end of February.

I'd take grinding out a win over whoever was joint second every day of the week. A lot of posters on here are far too dismissive of Kilmarnock under Clarke - yes their budget and attendances are much smaller than us or indeed any of the other teams in the top 5, but they're a very decent side (especially at home), as their 2018 points tally shows. Any win at their ground is good enough for me, and for all our 'sitting back' they barely created a chance 2nd half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 The factual answer very clearly is that we are in a race to win the league. Were it not for disaster results we'd be at the top. I for one am not saying we're in a race for anything other than to do the double. Wouldn't put much money on it but it's entirely possible.
