DEWELL Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Just wondering how everyone thinks we'll do in our remaining games. I think we'll beat Caley again and lose the other 4 which hopefully will get us 3rd place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'd be hoping for 8 points. I think we will lose away to Utd so I think we really need to get something off Celtic before we go up there. I'd hope to beat St. Johnstone and Inverness at home and a draw away to Aberdeen.

DEWELL Posted April 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 10 points?? I'd LOVE to see us getting points off Celtic, Dundee Utd and a St Johnstone team who we've beaten once and been SHITE against twice. Just cant see it im afraid. We should win at home to Caley but i'll be amazed and delighted if we can get anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Impossible to predict before we know where we are with injuries. If we can beat Inverness and Sf Johnstone, then scraping the odd point should secure 3rd place. Do we have any suspensions coming up?

numpty Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 I'm not expecting more than 4. I'd be amazed if we got more than 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 going for 8 loss to Celtic, Draw Utd and aberdeen, beat St Johnstone and Caley I think if we can get 6 points in any form or fashion then we will finish 3rd. If we get 6 points........ St Johnstone can't catch us Caley would have to win all 5 games. I don't think that will happen. Dundee Utd. would have to get 12 points. I think, at best, they will get 11 points max Aberdeen will most likely finish second of we only get 6 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 We've blew 2nd spot with the last 2 Saturday results, that much is certain in my opinion. Difficult to tell how many we'll get because of injuries and any suspensions and what team we'll be able to field for each game. I know football doesn't work like this, but difficult to see how we're going to get points of the better teams with so much at stake when we've capitulated against Hibs, Killie and St Mirren (who are all murder!) in recent weeks. I think we'll get 1 at the least and 7 at the very most. Ever the optimist me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superward Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 Lasley and Hammell miss the Celtic game. SPFL list only has Lasley with a suspension due. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 The key for me is the United game. If we can avoid defeat then i think another 4 points would seal 3rd place. Assuming it is a draw , then we would finish on 65 points and they would need to to win 3 and draw another game. Tough ask in the post split top 6, especially when they have Celtic away. I am not expecting anything from the Celtic game, other than a comfortable win for them. I think the pressure would be on United to beat us when we know a draw would be fine. That is of course assuming they have won away at St Johnstone in their post split fixture. It is highly likely that we will lose to both Celtic and United away and United will be level on 60 points. If that happens we need to take 7 points from remaining 3 fixtures to finish at least 3rd. I think we will get 5 or 6 points and they will come from the 4 games after Celtic. 2 wins or a win and 2draws. I also think it will go down to the last game. Whether that is our fight for second with Aberdeen or 3 rd with United or both god only knows.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderpig Posted April 6, 2014 Report Share Posted April 6, 2014 The 2 homes games against ICT and StJ are must win and i think we will take 6 points there, anything from Celtic is a bonus. The untd and Aberdeen games are hard to call, if the sheep get to the cup final then we have a good chance to get right into them the week before as they might have one eye on the final. So i think we may get at least 8 points maybe 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Nothing to worry about.... we've just implemented a slight alteration to our strategy for the season thus far.... beat the top six and drop points against the bottom six....

Its a pity though that we're not playing United in the last game, I'd feel far more confident if we were. In recent years they've been a pretty ruthless lot and have benefitted greatly from weak refereeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i think we may get at least 8 points maybe 9. And that is what worries me most. Most times this season we have come up against a "must win" scenario, we have failed. Celtic we may get lucky again and meet them on a bad day (or even a day that the team actually believe they can beat them), and given our last performances against Aberdeen and Dundee Utd we will be lucky to get 2 or even 4 points from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Hopefully Aberdeen will get past St Johnstone this weekend and have one eye on the final come the last day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Up For It! Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 We have to be taking a minimum of 5 or 6 points from these games to secure third. Anything below that, we are possible looking at 4th, anything above that we are looking at 2nd. Would love it to go to the last day against the sheep with winner getting 2nd. As others have mentioned, think the priority is no getting beat at Tannadice. If we do, our fight for 2nd becomes a fight for 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunky2k Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Got to win the two home games i think, however this weekend's cup matches are interesting. A win for Aberdeen & Dundee Utd all but guarantee both of them European football next season, meaning 4th place might even be good enough for another crack at European football, no?

As long as St Johnstone don't win the cup, then 4th place should qualify for Europe, assuming United finish in the top 4 as do Aberdeen. That said I remember wanting Celtic to the league or was it to win a semi final v Ross County for us to get into Europe and you know what happened next!! Either way Celtic ballsed up and we were not in Europe.. For that reason alone I would not be surprised to see St Johnstone win that semi final....

GazzyB Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 Avoiding defeat vs Dundee Utd is absolutely critical. Reckon we'll get a point vs Celtic, beat Caley, draw with D Utd, draw with St Johnstone and lose to Aberdeen, 6 points, not bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
