RandomGuy Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 We need to win all 3 to make it, IMO. A big ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 7-9 points to be in with a chance, I’d think. Even if we don’t get it, it remains important to gain at least a decent amount from these games to prevent any nervousness at the other end of the league post-split.

Johnny B Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 It could come down to goal difference therefore mist play 2 strikers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 It would not surprise me if United and St Mirren only got 3 at most out of the last 3 games, infact I would say as low as only 1 point for United. I think we need 7 points minimum out of last 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played 2 strikers v Hibs at Easter Road and drew, then 1 striker v Hibs at Hampden and won 3-0. You really need to get past this "more strikers = more goals" thing. Motherwell played 3 central strikers v us and managed 1 shot in 90 minutes. mainstand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to disagree you with the lone striker and me wanting 2 strikers. If your evidence is correct to score more goals we should play a lone striker in the cup final. Who do you suggest Melamed, Kane or May? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the front two, but it neither guarantees more goals, nor a higher chance of winning, which is my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be at all surprised to see us play a lone striker in the final, and if that happens I think it will be Kane. I think 3-4-3 would always have been CD's plan for the final but the big decision he has to make is whether Melamed's performance on Saturday was enough to force him to change that plan. Either way that's a massive call. To get back on topic, I reckon 7 points would be enough but it's so tight that it is looking like goal difference could come into play (which would bugger United). Feels odd to have to support either of the OF in their games, but if they could each score a few goals in their games against St Mirren/United then it could really help us.

I have a feeling we'll be just short, hope I'm wrong but staying in this league is always my goal at the start of every season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 Think its those few games where we were unlucky to lose points that is going to stop us getting top 6.Deflection against Aberdeen, late Celtic goals and that ridiculous Shankland strike spring to mind.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I had a dream, we won the cup and then took 9 points from these three games and made the top 6 on goal difference. Believe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Craig Levein not take that theory a bit further and was proved wrong with no striker and we will score goals?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melbourne Saint Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'd rather have Hamilton last tbh, in the hope that they're already relegated. Ross, though will be well up after H"n win. I think we'll get 5 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesaint Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 Fakes 1-0 with a late late penalty. it was always a big ask but that could be a crucial 3pts for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salguodinmethven. Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 I'll just be happy if we stay up , which I now confidently think we will. Been brimming with confidence since Christmas and finally scoring goals I feel. If we can keep the bulk of our squad it should bode well for next season and hopefully we'll be back at games by then to watch a far more entertaining team than say this time last year.

Cagey Posted February 27, 2021 Report Share Posted February 27, 2021 St Mirren get another dodgy penalty. That's at least 4 points they shouldn't have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
