GinRummy Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 I’m more confident after today 11 clear and 7 to play sounds good to me. I doubt if we’ll be as many as11 clear by the end of the season but we’ll be third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingantti1874 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 🤣 behave man. Killie or Stnirren would need to win 4 games more than us. With 7 left. Against top 6 opposition. one more will will put it beyond any doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still confident??? Over 31 games, Killie have 11 points less than us and St Mirren have 13 less. That doesn’t suggest to me either team is winning 12 or 14 more than us out of the final 21 points to play for. The only risk to group stage European football is Aberdeen and there’s no chance they’re beating Celtic then either the huns or us to lift the cup.

St Mirren would require 16 points from a possible 18 to match our points (as in this scenario they drew against us next week.) And St Mirren still have 3 games against the Old Firm to go, plus two against us and one against Kilmarnock in their last 7 games I understand the concern, last season really scared us. But I think its often missed how freak last season was it required not only us to mess up and lose so many games in a row, but Aberdeen to win 7 in a row (and pick up another win in the split.) In the last four games, Hearts, Kilmarnock and St Mirren have had the same number of Wins, draws and loses, so it does not show a team building up a winning run. On PPG, Kilmarnock are on course for 57 points, St Mirren 53 points and us 68 points. I also think a key thing is we are gearing up to be pretty much a fully fit squad, Nieuwenhof will be back next week, McKay will be getting up to the right level etc so we should be getting stronger. Performances have been poor and we need to raise our level again, but I do think its too late in the season to miss out on third (but never say never.)

AC Mallin_51 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 7 games left, if we lost every one killie would need to win 4, that’s a big ask with the post split games, I know they’ve beaten both the uglies but with the league at stake I reckon they’ll be a lot more ruthless in the closing games. I very much expect us to beat livi at home so really you’re looking at 5 games they need to win and us to lose the other 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still confident??? Quite an odd post given that we've just drawn with one of the two teams that has a (very) slim, but realistically plausible, chance of catching us, while the other team with a (very) slim, but realistically plausible, chance of catching us only drew against a bottom 6 team. Today's results make it even more likely than it already was that we'll finish 3rd, and it was already extremely likely. Confident? I was confident this morning, and I'm even more confident now. Hard to fathom why anyone wouldn't be, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that our last five league games have included facing the top three teams in the league other than ourselves, not only is it not concerning how much, or rather how little, the gap has closed, it's positively reassuring. Third place is closer now to being in the bag than it's been at any other point this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
