Run In To The Split - Projections

Recommended Posts

I know its an almost impossible question to answer just now, but anyone any idea what our post-split fixtures might look like?

I know we are due 3 home matches but only have County and Killie out of the current bottom 6 due back to Fir Park. So I guess no matter what there is going to be someone fecked about.

 

With our home form maybe an 18/20 split might work out better for us...

 

Hopefully Celtic beat Killie this weekend and then we can get the split fixtures out nice and early and we can all look forward to the 'post split fixtures - projections' thread

 

Can see us having Accies or Caley on the last day anyway

Are the dates for the post split games published anywhere?

 

http://spfl.co.uk/key-dates/

 

Week off for the Scottish cup semi finals then:

Saturday 29th April

Saturday 6th May

Saturday 13th May

Tue / Wed 16th / 17 May

Sat 20th May

 

Probably a Friday night game in there I'd imagine.

 

Playoff finals on Thur 25th and Sunday 28th...

The SPFL have already announced Rangers v Celtic on 29/4 with a 12 noon KO.

 

Just sums up the idiots in charge of the Scottish game, and their opinion that only 1 fixture matters.

 

I'm really quite pissed off about that!

Indeed.

 

Isn't that incredible?

Noticed that after 33 games/ split we I'll have played 16 home 17 away

If Partick finnish in the top 6 ( which is looking likely)....... the fixtures outstanding to play every one home and away would see us play

2 (18)home Ross Cty/Killie and 3 (20) away Accies/Ict/Dundee

Obviously the league ain't turned out as SPFL predicted.....

The SPFL will give the reason for releasing the old firm game early is giving Pold Scotland time to arrange resources

I would have been content with 6 points from the final 4 games going into the split which is still possible with a draw and a win from the Thistle and ICT games.

 

If we end up with 8 then happy days, 5 I'll be relatively content, 4 is meh and any less than that it's time to panic.

I doubt we'll do much in Maryhill but we can beat Inverness, if our boss can come up with something a wee bit different and luck favours us. Given our home form, two home wins from Accies and Inverness was always going to be very ambitious and 4 was a more realistic target. Accies are playing well just now, at what they do; importantly they're carrying loads of good luck; and they're getting results. They've beaten the likes of Aberdeen and St Johnstone don't forget. Ross County and Dundee are also in the mix.

 

Given Stephen Robinson is still finding his feet, I'll be happy if we're still off bottom by the split. That will give him some breathing space to get to know some of his players better; instill his ideas into the squad and come up with more effective gameplans. The one thing we can't seem to shake off is a run of shockingly bad luck.

GREAT EFFORT/PREDICTIONS SO FAR Let hope it continues

 

What stands out for me is Accies and Killie have been tough to beat, Killie in particular grinding out draws in 4 in their final 5 matches against tough opposition. Accies has done what I hoped we'd manage, no doubt helped by St. Johnstone's madness. Dundee have imploded.

I think the main thing is with attaining 5 points we've managed to stay in the hunt.

 

If I was a Killie fan I'd be happy that despite the toughest run in, they've drawn 4 of those games.

 

For us, yet more inconsistency, however the cricket score results have stopped under Robinson.

 

ICT, I'd be settling for automatic demotion with the hope that Dundee continue their run.

 

Accies fans must want more of the same thanks very much.

 

Dundee have played 1st, 2nd and 4th in their last 5 games, they have to be optimistic of getting a few results against those around them.

 

Finally, Ross County also attained 5 points (I assume Celtic will tear them a new one tomorrow) with one of the easier run ins. So there may be a bit of worry there.
