Jedi2 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Absolutely crucial in both where we are likely to end up, and also Lee's potential future. With the next set of 3 being Rangers, Celtic and Hearts, clearly games against County, Thistle and ICT give us the opportunity to finally put clear daylight between ourselves and the bottom 2 spots, or be dragged right into the middle of it. Obviously with 2 of them being away, it does make it harder, but with the proper set up,organisation and attitude, we should be looking for between 7-9 points..crazy I know especially after yesterday, but season defining one way or the other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 We seem to have had these kind of posts all season .....where folk give points targets ..and then in practice the team cannot put even a run of couple of wins together .......luckily this season a lot of the teams around us are very inconsistent too what might help is that 2 of the games are away.......current set up of the team seems more adept at counter attacking teams Down side for next week is the one consistent decent quality midfield player we have will be missing (Dicker) ....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shug Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think we are destined to be in another play off final with Falkirk! You can't drop points like yesterday's and expect to be okay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi2 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Falkirk won't be in the play-off this season. I fancy Utd to win the League and Hibs to emerge from the Championship play-off position. Certainly whether Hibs, Utd or (unlikely Falkirk or Morton), we don't want to be involved. Also,I reckon its fair to highlight the next 3 matches as they are against teams directly around us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is almost beyond belief how long it is since we went on a winning run - I can't think of one since AJ's purple patch. Thistle have pulled clear after three wins on the bounce. We need to do the same and put the pressure on to the other teams at the bottom. It is probably a bonus that two of our next three are away because our home record is honking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muza1962 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 With Dicker missing I fear the worst. He had a poor 15 minutes at the start of the second half yesterday and as I said in another post we look lost without him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfc_superteam Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 A bad bad result yesteday. Puts the pressure right back on. The thing is it is difficult to predict any results this year. Just need to concentrate on the next game and hopefully get a result. Sadly I don't think its going to be an easy run-in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piffer Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 This is where we find out what McCulloch is all about. I'm not glad we got beat yesterday but it's good that we are getting to see different situations coming up And how he deals with it. We've had a poor performance how does he get over that. We will be missing two of our better players what does he do to counteract this. How does he handle the fact that without Dicker, McKenzie and possibly Smith we have no experienced players in the middle of the park. What's his take on the goalkeeper situation and the pathetic defending of set pieces. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casual observer Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 In all likelihood Stevie Smith will be fit by next Sat to fill in for Dicker, then it's a replacement for Rory to worry about - not a phrase many would have thought heard earlier this season - and like for like Frizzell seems closest in style. Bouncebackability required! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We'll also be working really hard on set-plays which we've been disappointing in" Lee McCulloch 22/2/17 Need to work really really hard this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
