RandomGuy Posted December 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 4/6 so far, with 9 to play for. Hamilton up next. St Mirren play Celtic and Hearts play Hibs. Still convinced County are involved too. We no longer have the single worst GD in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its highly unlikely to improve. Slightly nervous of our next 2 fixtures... I'm not looking up the table yet, 100% looking below and we are 1 point ahead of playoff.

We've conceded 9 goals in the 8 games Liam Gordon has played, and that includes four against Rangers where two were in the final minute as completely lost the head. We've kept three consecutive clean sheets for the first time in 2019, and only the second time in 3 years. Our GD should improve regardless of what happens against the Old Firm. County just shipped four goals to Livingston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you mean others might be even worse, then possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we'll have the worst GD by the seasons end, and nowhere near as bad as it was a few games ago in relation to the amount of games we've played. FWIW Hamilton finished 10th with a -47 GD last year. We've also scored just one less goal as we had by this stage in 14/15, yet are 10 points worse off. A solid defence is a massive thing in this league, wont be pretty but we could see plenty more games like yesterday as we try and shitfest our way to safety.

cristo Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Seven from the first three, "delitit" with that. Let's not blow it against team Dingwall on Sunday and I reckon we could start looking up the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted December 26, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 Can start to think about those above us, rather than below, now. A loss against County could put us right back in the mixed though, believe we're 11th in the "Home" table this season. Cagerf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steady on, I'll have a glance into top 6 and think it's not that far away, but I really enjoy the gap to bottom that bottom spot was ours on a full time basis for 4 months LAUGH OUT LOUD We just need to remain difficult to beat, and hope we take a chance that comes our way. Winning against teans around us is crucial for survival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning against teans around us is crucial for survival. Quite right, easy to get carried away though. We've had an easy run of fixtures, relatively, so key will be keeping it going once we hit a run of fixtures against top half sides. No team in recent history has gone down with a point per game average though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy Posted December 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) What a difference, a few months make... Could easy swing back the way yet though. Need a good transfer window.

We still have 4 games against the OF or 6 if by a miracle we made top 6 so wouldn't get too excited about goal difference. I am sure most of those around us have played at least 1 OF game more than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget goal difference 2 wins from the games in hand and we're smokin! old firm will rest players v us. Frustrating played OF once and -11 goal difference, we could be a lot neater otherwise.

Ross County - 3 (Celtic - 2, Rangers - 1) St Johnstone - 2 (Celtic - 1, Rangers - 1) St Mirren - 3 (Celtic - 2, Rangers - 1) Hamilton - 4 (Celtic - 2, Rangers - 2) Hearts - 4 (Celtic - 2, Rangers - 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Strasser Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 Great Result yesterday. But if you look at our haul 12 of the 19 points have come from Hamilton and Hearts. We really need to start taking points from the teams above us to get to safety. Ross County will be a bigger test and a better indication of where we really are.

Doesnt change too much, tbf. It effectively just puts us on the same amount of games as everyone else with the same amount of points as we have. Still 7 clear of Hearts regardless.
