tartofmidlothian Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Killie and St Mirren have opened up a gap, and on yesterday's evidence there's no guarantee Aberdeen or Hibs can easily shift Dundee for sixth. Meanwhile St Johnstone and Motherwell are gaining fast, Agent Levein is one win from overtaking Hibs, and Aberdeen if they lose their game in hand. This is shaping up to be the most entertaining bottom six in years. For Hearts fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToadKiller Dog Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Dundee and killie both have good attacking options and good experienced managers . St midden are a capable side . Still think sheep could finish top six . Hibs I can't see monty zoomer change it they could end up in the fight to avoid the playoff , Levein will grind out enough points to finish top 10 , Motherwell seem to be a through there bad stretch.

boag1874 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Dundee & Killie should get top 6, they’ve both got some very good players and streetwise managers. I think Aberdeen will sneak in mainly thanks to Miovski. Bottom 2 will stay the same, Adams doesn’t exactly inspire confidence with the amount of pish he slavers and I think Martindale/Livi chucked in the towel from game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally, I'd say that any loan deals will be worded in such a way that they either run to a set date that's beyond the date of the borrowing club's last possible competitive fixture, or to the club's last competitive fixture of the season in all official competitions run by their League or FA. In the case of the weeteam though, anything is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Aberdeen appear to have stopped the rot a bit with their temporary manager steadying the ship . They have some good players in there and any half decent manager will probably steer them to safety just by not doing anything stupid and just setting them up properly Hibs on the other hand are a complete and utter shambles . Want away owners , and a 25 % shareholder who wants to use them as a feeder club and reserve team . Their manager is an absolute Dinosaur and completely lacking any character or gravitas . He is a boring dullard with very limited coaching ability . Their recruitment is a mixture of having players foisted on them because that is what should benefit Bournemouth further down the line and Monty throwing darts at a wall chart . There is no plan or strategy to building their team . The are playing two inexperienced kids at centre back and praying for Rocky ****ing Bushiri to come back . The team is now just a development squad for Bournemouth and the number of personnel is burgeoning . Cliques and bitterness will be forming in the dressing room and the manager is powerless to do anything about it because he is just told what to do and say . He has no power whatsoever . They would be as well replacing him with a cardboard cut out , and that would at least have more personality . Their owners just want out now it is obvious , so I can not see anything changing . They will remain a basket case and there is every chance that could see them finish eleventh . The fans are a mixture of apathetic and seething and neither state is beneficial to a struggling team and manager . Half empty stands with only the angriest supporters still bothering to turn up to vent their fury It is absolutely delightful , and all the time the backing track is some scruffy looking dimwit wittering on about splitting the old firm on his podcast and a rousing chorus of BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I am absolutely loving every second of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BervieJambo Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Killie & St Midden have enough dig about them that they should grind out results to make the top 6. I’m impressed by Dundee - they play good football and have a decent manager, however, they are inexperienced and their naivety may cost them. The sheep should be good enough (on paper) to challenge us. Miovski is one of the best players in the league. But they only seem to get results against the better teams and bottle it against the rest… there’s strong similarities to them now and us in 2020. They could get it together and make the top 6 or just as easily end up in the playoffs. Hope it’s the latter. Hibs - let’s just laugh at them… but they have brought in players in the positions they were weakest in. I think they might gel given a few games, so I wouldn’t discount them from a 4th derby yet. The rest are just trying to rack up enough points to survive. Livi won’t. Ross County have a shoogly peg. Well & St.J should have enough to get by.

JimmyCant Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Aberdeen should have been hammered by half time yesterday, but to be fair they showed a bit in the second half. Possibly top six but one of Killie Dundee or St Mirren will need to slump. Dundee are the best team in the league outwith the OF and ourselves and Killie have a manager who knows what he’s doing. St Mirren bottom 6 maybe ? Hibs are too little too late. St Johnstone have revived a bit. Motherwell in a false position IMO.

Victorian Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Very little between Dundee, Kilmarnock and St.Mirren imo. With all of them being well ahead of Hibs. Aberdeen's one decent game proves nothing yet. Teams can get a temporary bounce from a different manager and then recede. But my money would be on them to make up the top 6. Hibs have no chance whatsoever and better hope that Ross County don't have a decent run. Chances are that they'll be ok but by no means certain.

GinRummy Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) County have three away games on the bounce next. Motherwell, Rangers and Dundee.

Gorgie_Rules Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Hibs next four is Celtic (H), Aberdeen (A), Dundee (H), Hearts (A) They are more likely to be looking over their shoulder than at the top 6 with a double header against Ross County after those games.

OTT Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Aberdeen got a good point yesterday, I'd expect that to lift them over their next few games and see a little bit of momentum get behind them. Hibs... christ on a bike. 0-3 at half time at home.. hard to see how they come back from that. Genuinely thought that Montgomery would be a solid option for them - I kind of assumed that they'd be the main challengers for 3rd with Aberdeen distracted in Europe and the likelihood that us, Aberdeen and Hibs would all cut each others throat in trying to get the Conference prize money so there is no real winner and no real opportunity to build anything. Wouldn't surprise me if Montgomery ends up getting the bullet for a Bournemouth appointee. I think then we'll see the more nefarious side of joint ownership and competing interests come to the fore. Alan Connell is their u21s manager, I wonder if the next step would be to appoint a manager most familiar with the players they are likely to loan in? Interestingly, Scott Parker has apparently rejected Aberdeen because of a perceived lack of time given to managers. Hibs very much heading for this too if they do sack him. May have to just stick him out until a reasonable enough time has passed to justify getting rid Be interesting to see if Hibs can rally or if they'll continue to drop. That was a bad loss (with respect to St Mirren), shipping 3 isn't good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His squads bloated, might not know his best 11 etc. etc. Add to that, they've blown 2 leads against us in just over a week. Isn't as rosy as it seems up there.
