I reckon we could lose every game left and still win the league. At most 47 points will be needed to take it, so we just need a draw somewhere. The fact that folk are genuinely still worrying about it is precisely why Neilson needs punted. Superb post 👏👏👏 Embarassing that a team could potentially win a league title with a points average of less than 2 ppg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DETTY29 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Dunfermline who were a 'potential challenger' up to 9 pm last night went top of the table on 20 November.

Getting beat of Dunfermline in a league game is not sackable, getting beat of broro, however.... It’s the accumulation of failure and wheels coming entirely off the season that has led to this stage that’s sackable, not this single fixture in isolation It is must win IMO because of the momentum and which team is in the ascendency. We lose this game, Raith are a dead cert to cut the gap to 7 points with 4 games to play. We have given them belief, they will ask Hearts the question. Up to Neilson to answer that question. His answer from what I gather is to empty Berra and panic buy Shay Logan, after he’s already ****ed it. Career defining fixture for Robbie Neilson this one vs Dunfermline. Lose it and we will be playing Raith for the title on the final day IMO. And don’t give me this “we’ll beat alloa comfortably” more likely we will draw 0-0 with them just like when they knocked us out the cup. If we lose to Dunfermline as well, you’re almost at the point of it being too late to sack him, the caretaker wouldn’t have enough time to steady the ship. That’s why it’s must win in my opinion and after they’ve been skelped last night we are massive overwhelming favourites. Which means a loss would be definitely time to press the panic button. Stakes are high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Daddy Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Personally, I don't think anyone will reach our current tally.... that said, I thought Raith Rovers looked excellent last night (and I only seen the second half). I certainly wouldn't want us to go to Kirkcaldy in the last game of the season needing a result! But I recon we've done enough - one more victory will just put minds at rest. IMO.

avhudtheteeshirt Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Last week worried about Dunfermline, this week its Raith Rovers? On last nights commentary they said Raith were poor last weekend against Morton, where did this result come from? Its simple, no team in this league is stringing together wins, so with 5 games to go, we only need to win 1 game or a couple of draws to be crowned Champions!!!!

It's incredible that some fans actually find themselves worried about this, but that's the position that Neilson has put us in, that's the doubt and negativity that he's instilled throughout the entire club and the support, and yet he's still here! The only reason I'm not worried about it is because of the reasons you state above, but if that gap had been a bit less, then yeah, I'd be worried as well.

However, with our current squad of has-beens, cripples and never-will-bes, we will be cannon fodder in the top flight. We need to sign some players with a bit of fight and heart about them.

Because no bigger clubs are in the division as was the case over the last 6-7 years when Hibs Rangers and DUFC all struggled to get out. There’s 1 automatic promotion slot and it should be guaranteed for us. That’s why it’s the worst in years. There is nobody even remotely close to Hearts in terms of money. That’s why Saturday is so important to banish the doubts. It has been a horrendous feeling over the last week to see players completely shrink and vanish, some of them appeared to quit / give up, maybe because they know they’re already as good as emptied. That trends needs to be reversed by those players with some semblance of self respect like Boyce Halliday Walker Smith Gordon who’ve been the leaders this season in terms of their individual contributions to the games we have won. Fail to win Saturday and there will be more than a few cheeky tenners being chucked on Hearts to bottle this league. Must win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
