Pasquale for King Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Three wins will be difficult but should be doable, just have to manage some of the players workloads over the three games (GMS/Naisy/Ginnelly) whilst not relying too much on the lesser lights.

I agree Adam looks closer to being a jakey than a footballer . Somebody who worked with him in England did say he was a great trainer . Definitely looks a wee bit fitter , thinner in the face Dundee may indeed end up second with Adam in the team . That left foot does contribute a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

151 Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 Should be putting Raith away comfortably at Home regardless of form, circumstances, pitch condition, injuries, covid. Raith away is different - would happily scrape a win there. Dunfermline is obviously trickier but we should have scored a couple of chances last time and I thought a draw would have been a fair result last time round. If we have GMS and Ginelly and a strong CM bought in time we will bury them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone asked me if I give Dundee or Dunfermline any credit in beating us. No not really. Stupid statement. It was me who asked you. Both teams beat us convincingly and until we beat a fellow title contender away from home questions should rightly be asked of our ability to produce in the biggest away league games.

copa-mundial Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 At the start of the season. I said anything between 62 - 67 points should see the league being won. Out of 14 home games. I have us winning the lot of them. This taking 42 points in total. Being honest. We really should win all our home games. I said if we win 7 away games, tallying 21 points. This gives an overall from 21 games played, 63 points. (Which may be enough already.) This giving us a 6 game leeway, to which we have already lost 2. Home games so far. Played 6 won 6 =18 points. Away games so far. Played 5 won 3 lost 2 = 9 points. Away fixtures Still to play as follows. Dunfermline. Already lost. Raith x2. Fake pitch to boot, albeit the last game of the season is here. Would hope it's sealed by then. Inverness. Our record up there isn't great. Queen of the South. Plastic pitch. Anything possible. Ayr United. Shoddy wee Park. Pitch will be like a tattie field. Arbroath. Was very difficult the first time round. Morton. They will most likely put 11 men behind the ball again. From these 7 remaining away fixtures though. I'd like to think we will win 5 of them. Taking 35 points respectively. Should we take a maximum of 42 at home. This gives us 77 points. With 2 away game results unknown. (See above.) This in turn should see the league being won after about 22 - 23 games. This also goes on the proviso that Dundee and Dunfermline stay in the mix long enough. I suppose as the old saying goes in football though. One game at a time. It's in our hands. Only ours to lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Idle Talk Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 This is indeed going to be a crucial run of three games but we are in a good place heading into them with a seven point lead in the league. Having that lead leaves us in a position where the opposition need to win the games more than we do. Which means if we draw any of these matches it hurts them more than it hurts us. We also have the benefit of knowing that we have superior players to Raith and Dunfermline so if we play our best then we will, more than likely, win. I'm confident we are going to do well in these matches. Especially with two of them being at Tynecastle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He definitely wants to attack but sometimes the home team starts well and pins us back. It happens. We've done it ourselves when we've played Rangers or Celtic. With GMS and Ginnelly though we should be much more threatening than in recent games, even if not right from the first whistle depending on how the other team starts.
