Romulus Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 15 games to go. We currently have played 12 home matches and 11 away, leaving us with 4 home games and 6 away games before the split. Once we play Celtic, we will have no further remaining old firm games left which is a boost. This will leave us having played 16 Home and 17 Away pre-split and should technically mean we get 3 home ties in the split against the teams around us which could be a big bonus. Currently 6 points off 7th place, I think this is a realistic target for us and beating the teams around us should hopefully see us comfortably safe.

avhudtheteeshirt Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 If you take our performance yesterday, and play the same way in the rest of the games, I feel we could realistically end up top 6? It is a big ask, but after the first half of the season, the players owe it to the fans who have backed them in numbers all through this season!!!!!

Stuart McNeill Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 After yesterday. I'm fairly optimistic we can be sitting 10th by the weekend of results go our way. These are the next two Hamilton have : Celtic (H) St Mirren (A) Aberdeen (H) Hearts (A) Motherwell (H) St Mirren : Hibs (A) Hamilton (H) Livvy (A) Motherwell (A) Hearts (H) Should be comfortably ahead by the end of the next 5 fixtures.

I think it’s a big ask to be honest. 12 points to make up and only 10 games pre split including trips to Pittodrie and Celtic Park. Anything 10th or above and a good cup run then that’ll do for this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazinho88 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 7th should be a realistic target, top six would mean an extraordinary run of victories in our last 10. Survive this season, regroup and then look higher next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboGraham Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Ha...this place can be nuts at times....of course yesterday was incredible and we have some very positive signs but.... We are still bottom of the league, yesterday was only our third league win of the season and we haven't won a league match outside Edinburgh in almost a year... Let's go to St Johnstone this weekend and see what happens. At the very least we head to Perth this weekend feeling confident which is a massive boost for the players and us supporters. The objective this week is still identical to last week....get off the bottom of the table!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more optimistic after yesterday, but not getting carried away. One game at a time and hope those immediately above us loose all their games.

That would leave 6 more points to make up on them from both clubs' remaining 8 fixtures, which would require a lot of wins for us or very few for them!

gordiegords Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 One game at a time for me, yesterday was superb but too many times we have followed it up with a flop performance ala Ross county, if we play like that away from home we will pick up very quickly, I know that can’t be easy especially with the different atmospheres but we really need the same mentality home and away, hhgh.

Boab Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I reckon we need to be around the 45 point mark to make it into the top six. With ten games until that point, that’s 28 points to make up.

Being pedantic - one or both will get something when they play each other. Draw obviously the best outcome for us!

Steve_Jersey_HMFC Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Next 2 games we need to take 4-6 pts vs Saints and Killie, could be crucial especially given the fixtures Accies and St Mirren have next week then they play each other. The Celtic game is a free hit then Accies at home and St Mirren away. Hopefully we go into the next Derby off the bottom two spots, looking forward to a cup semi final and a smaller gap behind hibs too Edited January 27, 2020 by Steve_Jersey_HMFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruyff Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 As long as we finish at least 10th, I honestly don't care. Top 6 isn’t impossible but as good as. If we can win our next two, turn our attention towards the cup, get through and give Celtic a game, I'd say then that we've well and truly turned the corner and that we can look up to 7th and a Cup Final.
