Playoffs Taking Shape

Motherwell were beaten 2-0 last night and look certain to finish as the playoff team from the Premiership. I think this is good news for us, they've been in freefall and look like an easier prospect than Hibs and QOS. They concede easily and will be easier for us than County who are more physical and compete for everything. We struggle to break teams down at times but Motherwell are very open.

We really need to drive our slim advantage home and finish second. Those extra two matches for Hibs and QOS could be important. I would expect a close tie and the winner would come out tired and maybe with a suspension or two. I wouldn't say it's a certainty that Hibs beat QOS over two legs.

Vital to get 3 points this weekend.

Finishing second will be massive as it will give us an extra 2 weeks off to rest and give McCall time to work on some things with the squad. As things stand we currently have 6 cup finals. However 8 would be stretching it and I'd fear the worst if we finished 3rd.

I can't see us beating Hearts

What's Hibs last game?

Edit - Falkitk away

I think we will beat Hearts. All their wins against us this season have been lucky. Our team is more confident under SMcC and I honestly believe had we had the right person in the job at the beginning they wouldn't have won any of their games against us.

My first choice would have been Kilmarnock for the playoffs but I think we'll have a good chance against Motherwell so I would be happy with that.

We need to take 2 games at a time as I'm pessimistic about our chances. If we don't go up then as I said before, look out for the league reconstruction debate starting...but not from us. They only want the blue £ and sponsor.
