piffer Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Not the worst results for us tonight. Only one of the teams below us gains any ground which is good when we aren’t playing. Motherwell now a point above us but we’ve a game in hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieBus Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Agreed. This time last year these games would have been a main topic on the forum! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 It’s amazing to be sitting in this situation thinking we’ve got two games in hand and we could be breathing down Hearts neck. Yes there is still a look over our shoulder but Hearts are seven points ahead of us and despite their fantastic form very catchable at the moment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieBus Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 It's very positive, but for me, it's still all about not getting caught up at the bottom end. Anything more is a bonus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 There does seem that a gap is opening up between the "middle" of the league and the bottom .... .to some extent both hearts and Motherwell were struggling couple months back but after putting together a run of results have turned it around. Not sure if likes of Ross County and Thistle are currently capable of going on same kind of consistent run .... hopefully the postponing of very winnable games will not cause too many problems for us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Excellent set of results for us tonight and if we can win our games in hand will set us up nicely for the remainder of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfc_superteam Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 True. Not bad results at all. Would be good to take something from the next two games. Very hard though. At least we get them out the way 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpetfitter Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) County seem chuffed. Thistle are stronger with the big laddie back in the middle of the park and the return of the right back Dumbula. Hamilton on slide but dogged. Dundee are meh. St j and well catchable. Dons goalie knackered, Considine and OConnor are dodgy. Let's get in aboot them. Onwards and upwards. A brief bulletin based on licenced premises.

Win that and the saints game we will be a point behind Hearts and a strong distance from relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR1869 Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Hearts in striking distance now as well. I'm an dreamer optimist. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 When Clarke started picking up points I thought I'd be happy if we can improve on last season. I'm standing by that, I'd be happy enough if we finished 7th and stayed well clear of the dogfight. I don't see any reason at this stage why we shouldn't finish top 6 though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 6pts above the playoff spot after our recent great run of results, albeit with two games in hand, means we are still vulnerable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garnkirk20 Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I think we if we win the 2 games in hand we can start really looking at Top 6. We would be 9 points clear of 9th position never mind play off or relegation spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfc_superteam Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 We are in a good position but we can't assume we'll just win our games in hand. You never know what injuries, referee decisions, loss of form, fixture scheduling may occur. Good thing we have had a week to prepare for Aberdeen but they will be up for this as they were beaten by Sevco midweek. We had more time to prepare against Hibs and we were honking before the winter break. Our record against Aberdeen is very shoddy. If we pick up a point I'd be ecstatic but we are going to lose at some point! That said we are going to beat them at some point! Would love to beat mcinnes finally! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTumnus Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 Aberdeen were too physical for us when we last played them. They bossed us all over the park and were on cruise control. We are a better team now but still light-weight by comparison so it will be extremely difficult to get anything from the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
