garydavidson Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 What are the dates for the play offs 🙈 Havana Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strawman Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 I get that 19/19 is the priority, a Saints win over Aberdeen though pulls Aberdeen right into the 2nd bottom battle. Us having to go to Aberdeen three times could give them an advantage. Rangers or Celtic would NEVER be asked to visit each other three times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very hard to have a fair system when some clubs are automatically treated more fairly than others. pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueheaven Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 To think that just 24 hours ago we were thinking we had a good chance of going seven points clear of County this weekend. MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gekko Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Never saw that coming. But then, the big two never seem to give us a result when we need them to. A one off performance for County? can they keep that level up for another five games. It'll certainly have given them a boost. Thinking positively, that result maybe brings Aberdeen back into it. They're still shaky just now and probably thought they were out of it. One bad result and the pressure could be on them. Glass half full and all that.

They probably only need to keep it up for one more game to get ahead, and stay ahead of us. What I’d give for our team to put in that level of performance.  All this result will do is drive Levein and Kirk into an even more defensive mindset. It’s spineless and we’ll be in the play off. dave mc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saintdunc Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 We all know that we are where we deserve to be. 3 seasons of mediocrity. Said it before now, the downward spiral will not end in the Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Watched the first 50 mins of game and County were the better team and deserved their win. They are probably the best team in the bottom 6 and have the momentum so play offs for us if we can avoid bottom. Broggy Man 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dav69 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 We would have no chance against either Raith Partick or Airdrie as these teams have scored 52,58 44 goals respectively and we have what ? 24? What a travesty it would be if whichever  of them did not make it as they would brighten this piss poor SPL with guys that can score regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager that Sidibeh and Kimpioka could hit double figures each if youre saying these teams main striker (Zak Rudden, Brian Graham, Nikolay Todorov) are great strikers.

PSJ.84 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Obviously football doesn’t work like this but Inverness scored 59 in 21/22.  We are quite reactionary on here (I include myself in this). Although likely having three away games is an advantage, I think we’ll end up in 11th. I still think we’d have enough in the play offs but it doesn’t mean I’d be confident, nor would I have faith in the mentality of this team to get us over the line. We won’t finish bottom though and that has to be seen as a positive from where we were. Havana Saint and garydavidson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted April 15 Author Report Share Posted April 15 I don’t care if we stay up in 10th position or stay up via the play off as long as we stay up. The financial implications with new ownership would be a hard sell to the new potential owners. With the clean out to happen at the end of the season do we have the money to bring in potentially 5 or 6 new players? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those teams have scored their goals at a significantly lower level than the one we're playing at. Since the play-offs began, they've only been won three times by the Championship club. All the others have been won by the Premiership club. I wouldn't exactly call myself confident about going into a play-off but we'd definitely be favourites and I think our chances would be decent. pezza70 and SaintJet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hardly think we won comfortably, given for 135 minutes of the play offs we were still level. The difference then to now is that you had Rooney, Hendry and other senior players digging in and coming up with the goods and essentially dragging us to safety. We don't have that quality or drive from this squads of shitebag players and we cant score goals so any of the lower league teams will see us as a huge chance to beat.

We don't have that quality or drive from this squads of shitebag players and we cant score goals so any of the lower league teams will see us as a huge chance to beat. I'd say winning by four goals is pretty comfortable. Caley briefly gave us a scare in the first leg but the second leg was very comfortable. I agree those Saints players were better, but let's not forget that we were in that play-off for a reason. That Saints team finished 11th and as things stand the current team still has us 10th. Maybe also worth nothing that after 33 games of that season we'd scored even fewer goals than the current team has, so although we're bad at scoring goals now, the 2021/22 team was even worse. The comment I was replying to said we'd have "no chance" and I just don't think that's right. pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ejksjfc Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 The last time Hibs were relegated they were 7th at start of post-split games. Livi will be relegated Hibs in play off. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
