They will do well to make the play-offs. They are also a club where a lot of the fans want the manager out it seems Yep, there is no danger to us whatsoever and that maybe accounts for some of the apathy we are feeling as fans, and maybe even the players too. Hope ICT make the play offs but whoever gets through the Championship play offs, I don’t give them much chance against Hamilton, Motherwell or Ross County. There’s quite a gap between them and the Championship also rans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll get there though, then change the nucleus of the team for next season. I prefer to think of it as is interesting.... exciting, fun even. Some wanted fun and excitement, a nail biting last few games should be making them happy! It's want many wanted all season,, fun and excitement. 🙄 Going 2-0 down, getting it back to 2-2 then lashing in own goals to keep the promotion race open is just what the doctor ordered.

If its a draw, we pretty much need to beat Dunfermline as that would rule out RR and the Pars being able to better us (GD inc) but to max their points outwith us winning on Saturday, they would both have to beat Dundee, would would have 49 points, RR 49points, Dundee and dunfermline 46 points Dundee to win league they would need to beat RR, the Pars, ICT, Morton, Ayr and QoS if they did that I will never support Hearts again, assuming we dont win any 2 remaining games, or Dunfermline on Saturday We are in a possition where we can rely on our own results but with the insurance that we can also rely on the others dropping points against each other.

They can get to 51 points and we'd have 49 if we beat the pars on Saturday. Edit - just spotted Dundee don't play this weekend (next game Tuesday 6th). But my brain is a bit fried today so I could be missing something as I'm sure I read we could win it this weekend too! No you are correct. Dundee can still achieve 51 points and we’d have 49 so still not a mathematical certainty. Dundee have 4 out of 6 away though and some tough games so there is no danger they’re winning all 6. Could be done on Tuesday. Edited March 30, 2021 by JimmyCant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Jambo Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 As a bit of context, Dundee and Raith both have a longest winning streak in the league of 3 games. They've both won their last 2 games. Anyone who thinks they are going to go on and put together the kind of run required to catch us is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambonian Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Caught the second half of the Fife derby....Raith were very good. Even at 4-1 up they never let Dunfermline get a sniff. Chased lost causes, confident, the movement off the ball was excellent, always players desperate for a pass. Dunfermline looked pretty terrible but a lot of that down to Raith. We need to wrap this League up as soon as possible. I don't fancy Raith last day of the season. Wonder if Neilson was at that game doing homework? If he was then it's clear as day to me that if you chase Dunfermline all over the place, give them no momentum then there's a chance we might actually win. Noticed the Hamilton and St Mirren managers were there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1953 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Tonight's result changes nowt, we still need 6 points to make sure. I agree that it's unlikely that either Dunfermline, raith or dundee will win all their remaining games but it would be good to do it ourselves and not depend on others dropping points. Lets get 3 points on Saturday then it's Alloa st home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're clearly not capable of winning all 5 so we need to wrap this up asap. If Raith drop points that's a bonus, but we can't afford to go into games 26 and 27 still needing those 6 points.
