Fozzyonthefence Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 1 hour ago, jamboinglasgow said: You could be right, still think 3 wins would wrap it up. As it stands the most any team below us can get is 69 points. So 70 points would require 18 points, or 6 wins from our last 10 games. If we were to beat St Mirren as one of our wins, then it require only 5 wins (St Mirren game included.) Same points stand for Kilmarnock. Basically regardless how tomorrow goes, its about getting back to the form we showed before against the non-Old Firm teams when we play the remaining fixtures before the split. Killie and St Mirren will drop loads of points. They’re the only two with a realistic chance of getting to 58 points but they won’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Kilmarnock and St Mirren still have two games against each other. In fact in 9 games St Mirren have 3 against the Old Firm, 2 against Kilmarnock and 2 against us, so only 2 games against teams not in the top 5.

Edit: I see Livi has been covered already! We don't have St.Johnstone, apart from tomorrow, the final 4 fixtures before the split are 16Mar Ross County (A) 30Mar Kilmarnock (H) 06Apr St Mirren (A) 13Apr Livingston (H) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerjambo Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) Once more we need to find our mojo, more than ever this year, we must finish 3rd. Fail to do so, and we will be seen as weak, with very weak and unreliable management in place. These players have potential, but there are numerous questions that, quite frankly, go unanswered. Fitness levels, hunger, desire, football ability, mobility. These are all something we lack, and all too often, which is very noticeable. We are a very long way from the finished article, or anywhere near it unfortunately. With great recruitment, and suitable numbers moved on, we can close the gab on the OF. Don't hold your breath though, it's at least 4 years away. Edited March 2 by innerjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benchmarking. They have far too much turnover to stay ahead of us - as things stand. We need to concentrate on ourselves and only ourselves. That's the only thing we can effect. On another note if we lack fitness levels, hunger, desire, mobility, football ability etc, the stats say, out with the OF, we are the best in the whole of Scotland. By a long shot.

Don't hold your breath though, it's at least 4 years away. Mobility, quite often yes. Football ability, sometimes. The rest? Nope, not even remotely. We regularly finish games strongly, quite often dominating the last half hour, sometimes the whole second half, winning a number of games with relatively, or very, late goals, some of them coming from behind to do so. If we lacked fitness levels, hunger or desire, we'd either not have the energy levels to be able to produce these goals late in games, or we wouldn't have the fight to actually go and do it. We are a long way off the teams that have budgets several times the size of ours, and we're certainly by no means the finished article, but folk who don't see hunger and desire in abundance must have their eyes painted on, and those who think a team lacking in fitness can score as many goals in the last third of games as we've done this season have some very odd logic.

Pasquale for King Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 8 hours ago, FarmerTweedy said: Ross County didn't outplay us. They were probably slightly better in the first half and had a good spell in the second half after we'd been denied a stonewall penalty, took their two good chances in that spell, then we got our act together again and were the better team from that point on, got ourselves level and really should have won the game. Hibs, I'll give you, they did outplay us a bit on Wednesday and we were fortunate to get the draw. Motherwell? Never in a million years. We were easily better than them, a ten minute spell at the start of the second half aside, although struggled for a fair while to cut open their defence. Aberdeen up there? Yeah, certainly in the second half. Dundee? Nope. At home, there was very little in it in the first half other than them finishing their couple of good chances better than we did ours. In the second half, we totally outplayed them and could and should have scored about half a dozen at least. Up there, there wasn't really an awful lot in it, they probably had a couple more good chances than us over the 90 that they missed, but they didn't outplay us. We were fortunate to win, but certainly were worth a draw. We're not constantly garbage in the first half, we've usually played decent but with a frustrating lack of cutting edge in attack against teams defending in numbers. Naismith's job isn't in any danger at all if we carry on playing as we have been, last couple of games aside, obviously. Get a grip ffs, we haven’t taken the lead in the first half for months apart from Celtic away. He sets up the team then has to change it every game, you may not think his job is in danger but if we capitulate again like we did last season these players will place another limited manager under pressure. We haven’t played well for a whole game or outplayed anyone all season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say this, after today 4th and a European spot of some sort is 100% done and dusted. And with that the past 3 season run ties our best three season league run since 1960.
