Amac9 2,060 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Away: St Mirren Hibernian Home: Motherwell I feel we will be lucky to pick up 5 points here. Especially after that abysmal performance today. There needs to be a big change if we are to go on and win this title, And by that I mean Mendes and Davis to get their fingers out or to be dropped, Boyd to do more or again be dropped and Aaron and Beasley to be given a chance on either flank. We have 8 games left- just do it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson 2 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 If we fail to get 9 points here then I cannot see us winning the league, assuming the Tims win theirs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
radlord 24 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I honestly don't think we'll get a win from either of those away games Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amac9 2,060 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 We NEED to pick up 9 points as we still have to go to Tannadice, Tynecastle and possibly Fir Park. Three grounds we find it extremely tough on so points will be dropped in them games. Celtc remaining 3 games include- Falkirk (H) Hearts (A) Aberdeen (H). From that list I can only see them dropping points against Hearts. No more fannying around! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralCartmanLee 313 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I thibnk we will get 9 points....Motherwell is hardest game there but we have a good record against them at home. Hibs is not a major concern for me. The tims have the harder run of games coming up in my opinion and as said above it's votal we take nine points as i don't think they will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff 245 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The trip to Easter Road is my main concern. I think we'll take care of both St. Mirren and Motherwell. I think we'll take 6 points from the possible 9. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC999 0 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Both Hibs and Motherwell will both be up for it aswell trying to make it into the top 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasGers 96 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Of course, 9 points is the only acceptable outcome, but we're really inconsistent, so it's going to be a difficult task. Finding the right forward combination, and getting Edu or Davis at central midfield will go a long way towards picking up maximum points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 We need Mendes, Edu and Davis all in the middle. Try a 4 3 3 with Novo, Boyd and Beasley For the amount of money spent on strikers we have no class at all up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more fannying around! can't go to Fir Park - if they make top 6 we will get them for a 3rd time at Ibrox and the scum will go to Fir Park 3 times. This is because we need 3 home games after the split to make it 19 home and 19 away which takes priority over playign everyone home and away twice.

craigeee 60 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Hibs might cause a problem but I think we'll take all 9 points. It might not be pretty but I think we'll at the least scrape them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sander2006 50 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I can never see us getting 9 points from these games (especially the away games). I can see Walter using his usual negative tactics in the run in and probably play for draws against Hibs and Celtic (4-5-1 formation). I agree with nvager that we should go for it with a 4-3-3 (at least in the majority of our games). We used negative bulls*** tactics against lesser teams at the end of last season and we all see where that got us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloo1872 0 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 We're going to struggle on Wednesday night against St Mirren, they'll be right up for it and we look dead on our arses. I'm not even thinking beyond that neither should the team, one game at a time and all that. I'll be delighted if we get 3 points midweek, to go two away games in the trot with maximum points would be an achievement for us just now and hopefully something to try and build on. If we play like yesterday though we will drop two points at least. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross1873 1 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 we will take the 9 points, as i said before sunday i fancy us to be level pegging with the offended ones before the final OF where it will be do or die. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Stars Bearette 1 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 It maybe like yesterday.....and we need to defend a lot and nick a goal when we get the chance....big Davie and Magic are doing a good job, Papac is ok but Whittaker was woeful yesterday, McCann had him in his pocket...that weak point has to be doubled up by someone and I think Edu would be good in front of defence as he is very hardworking and would help Whitakker out unless Kirk is back in that spot....on Steve Ds good days he goes in and helps in defence as well but who know how he will play on Wednesday.....
