Wearethepeople72 1,845 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Before today, I didn't think we had any hope of promotion. I put that mainly down to the fact that I didn't believe we were capable of beating Hibs over two legs. However, today we have proved that we can do it, and if our players show the same level of effort and commitment that they did today, I think we will get promoted.Thoughts?

MacBoyd 5,424 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I think we will. Today was massive for the confidence Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bothwellbear 1,392 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 If we beat Hearts then yes. But I still do not feel totally confident. Only one good performance. Get a few more and we will do it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeIsBlue 66,559 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I'm still saying No as I think the damage has already been done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1690tamRFC 5,001 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I was always optimistic about promotion but now we have a manager in the dug out who can actually use some tactics I am much more positive that we will gain second spot, see off hibs in the semi and get past whoever is in second bottom from the SPL.

Ryan_1 1,136 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Again it's another question I can't answer on the basis of one result, but for our confidence and because it was against our main promotion rivals today's result could prove to be absolutely massive. Much, much better position now than 24 hours ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBluenose1972 1,405 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 No, Dont think were ready to go up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Not fickle enough to think one result changes things. No. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hmmm....One games not enough for me, we were scrappy but controlled Hibs, a few more games will perhaps convince me otherwise but just now i'm still saying no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crackedactor 157 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Today's result was a game changer for me. We have proven that we can beat our biggest rivals in this league (outside Hearts) and with another couple of months of McCall's leadership we will be an even better team while our promotion rivals start feeling the doubts creeping in.

raging blue 1972 894 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Not fickle enough to think one result changes things. No.My thoughts - at this moment no. Ask again in another 4 games and might get a different answer Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 We will go on to beat Hearts now, todays game showed how well players can go with the right motivation. Hearts will lose a few between now and the end of the season, the job is done now for them. Hibs were not great today, I predict a slump for them with us meeting Falkirk in the final championship playoff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muscovite 2 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Today was huge for us.We've beaten them in their own midden after having taken a few sore ones off them this season. Hardly anybody expected it in the run up to the game and I know a few Hibbies (and others) who thought that 3pts for them was a foregone conclusion. They are notorious bottlers. We've hit them right at the perfect moment to have them doubting themselves going into the last little run of games while almost instantly bringing the feel good factor back to our own players and support which had waned a bit again after the takeover.We're in the driving seat for going up and I fancy our chances.

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Today didn't feel like we had a good game, it felt like we were doing what we should be.... That attitude remaining and we will be fine.Massive confidence impact from today for everyone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannerall 25,935 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 This run in to the play-offs gives us the opportunity to build a more confident, winning team which has won through to the play-offs by that time. I believe McCall will do this. I'd say we are better than evens at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
piperpete 3,186 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hmmm....One games not enough for me, we were scrappy but controlled Hibs, a few more games will perhaps convince me otherwise but just now i'm still saying no.At least there was a desire to win which has been missing for months. If we had shown an ounce of desire in the last few months we would have had at least another 8 points and sitting pretty for the play offs.

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,600 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 No. But I have far more belief than I did at 1245 today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlBear. 8,499 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Winning today should be the springboard for a strong finish to the season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmcf 34,086 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Yes. Thought it would take time to get into SM's playing system , but hopefully it's starting to show results . By the time the play offs come , we should be running like a well oiled machine . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HG5 11,064 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Need to keep building on this, but everyone should take a massive lift from showing we can not only live with the 'better' teams in the division, but hold them completely at arm's length and get into good attacking situations, almost at will.Hope SMcC can work on the fitness pre-playoffs.Wallace was a lot better today, but got put through in 4 or 5 brilliant positions around their box & didn't manage to deliver - if we can just tweak his sharpness a bit, we're back to having a player on our hands.

TBagalag 721 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I think we will get promoted, while we have had false dawns throughout this season the fact it was Hibs we beat today will give the squad massive confidence. That coupled with a manager who actually knows what he's doing should see us fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
