Welldaft Mk1 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 47 minutes ago, Andy_P said: Perhaps you're making the assumption that we wouldn't get another home game against either but it wouldn't be the first time we've had 3 fixtures at home against one team, or three away for that matter so that may not be the case, however slim. I was making that assumption. We play them both at home in the next few weeks and will have played both twice at home this season. I am not saying it would not happen, but I was basing my argument that finishing top 6 would unlikely yield an extra home game v either of the old firm. Usually one of the key reasons the club wanted a top 6 finish along with the fact of course you can finish no lower than 6th. I initially posted in another thread I would take a cup semi / cup final over top 6. It would be great to have both but if I had to choose cup all the way. We are in the Semi - hopefully we can get to another final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pettywulliegrew-2 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Lets just wait till the outcome of this weekends fixtures .......hertz lose on Friday night......killie have Ross county and we need to beat Accies....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 A good result for Killie tonight takes them out of the equation. The final top 6 spot is between us and Hearts and I believe the rest will now remain in the bottom six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prideoflanarkshire Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 To get into the top six we need a min of 10 points which is a tall order given or fixtures of: Hamilton & St Johnstone away Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen at home. NAE CHANCE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 If Hearts lose to Hibs on Friday night we can put a bit of pressure on them. 10 points is probably right. Win on Saturday and the target then becomes 4 points from the three homes game. If we get that then we are looking for a win at Perth in the last fixture. Difficult but not impossible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I'm not sure about an actual amount of points we need but I would say we only need 1 more point than hearts get, as long as one of our victories is against St Johnstone. if Mr Leveine can step up and get his team playing with the same level of performance that he instilled in the Scotland team we could see hearts slump their way to the end of the season. So maybe we won't need as much as 10 points ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Even if they lose to Hibs tonight, Levein has steadied the ship and they don't lose many goals or games. Much as I'd like to, I can't see them suddenly collapsing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles & Flippers Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 That game against Killie would have kept them in them in the mix if we won. Regardless this season has exceeded all expectations regardless of league position now. If you need to recall look back at the predictions thread and see what was the general feeling in the summer. Looking to build on things this summer and consolidate, however as someone said before, the shit show of the past 5 years looks to be over and other clubs in our league generally seem to have better management and direction. All I can hope for is Accies and Ross County go down, they add nothing and take a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 No way 2 teams from the Premiership go down. It's a pretty weak bunch in the Championship play-off spots this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Just now, weeyin said: No way 2 teams from the Premiership go down. It's a pretty weak bunch in the Championship play-off spots this season. Agreed. Although out of the three teams currently in the playoffs I think Livingston, and only Livingston could cause a shock. Would love to see the seethe from the crowd wanking lot of Scottish Football fans if we replaced Accies/County with Livingston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzyB Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hibs disposing of Hearts with ease tonight. Gives us an incentive tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I'd like to, I can't see them suddenly collapsing. They have 1 draw and 3 defeats last 4 games and were gawd awful tonight don't think they had 1 effort on target. Given our run in it is still a tough ask but not mission impossible. It is now up to what WE do.Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Pressure is all on them. Could easily end up with only another 4 points from their last three games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 Hearts' final three games. Home Partick 17/3. Away Dundee 1/4. Home Aberdeen 7/4. You would normally expect them to come out with a minimum four points but they are dreadful going forward so it could be less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 Yes, top six has now all but gone and our target has to be retain 7th spot and that will be hard enough. As I've written before I won't be downhearted if that ultimately proves beyond us but I'll be disappointed if we can't finish 8th, which would represent progress since last season.
