K.A.I 36,183 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 We will beat Aberdeen twice and secure second imo i thought we'd do it even with Warburton Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERITAS VOS LIBREBETS 3,424 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Just now, writingranger said: No Chance. They have records to aim for. However, they not be able to take their foot off the gas if the title is already won. There's a part of me wants them to win it now for that reason. They'll start to drop points once it's won and we can close the gap and win second with the gap at under 21 points as well as win the Scottish Cup. This reminds me just a bit of when big Eck came in. Look what happened in his first full season. I fucking hope you are right Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being 30 points behind the taigs at the end of the season is humiliating. Our actual league position isnt relevant. Winning the SC is more of a priority for me rather than finishing ahead of Dolly. Second place means 1 less qualifier in the EL. However, agree about the SC - silverware for us and fucks up their treble -again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyc06 6,927 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Fancy us to beat the sheep twice & for them to get beat by the tarriers & possibly slip up at St Johnstone! On that basis we should be good enough to take 2nd, key game being us vs then at Pittodrie! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 If we beat them at Pittodrie, assuming we win the games before that too, then they'll bottle it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianferguson 2,619 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Next to no chance imo. Tims goal diff +58 Sheep +29 RANGERS + 9 Embarrassing statistics. Pedro won't be able to get the clinical goalscorer we lack till next season,we may outplay every team we play till end of season but missed chances will put us 3rd. Waghorn in particular will fluff his lines at the important moments and Dodoo, who's more of a finisher imo , has played too little to have an impact.

Beaujolais 1,371 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 We are were we are. If we take 2nd place now it will be likely to be as much down to Aberdeens mistakes as much as our own performances. What I think we should be focusing on is simply winning every game we play and in particular focusing effort on the Cup. What we cannot afford to do is let St Johnstone or Hearts close up. Achieving European Football next year should be the minimum aspiration for the rest of the Season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wearethepeople72 1,859 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Need to win at Pittordrie, they will drop more points but so will we, the games against the sheep are six pointers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp9 753 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 If we don't get second, fine move on. But this has to be the last season that we ever accept such mediocrity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoodster 162 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 3rd place for me. I think we will narrow the gap but not bridge it. It's all about the new manager using the rest of the season to full assess what we need for next year. Would be great if we could secure the cup though!

Bears r us 31,349 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 It will be very difficult and we will have to take it one game at a time. Keep winning and we have a chance, drop points and we are looking at third. Winning the cup would help a lot if we do not make 2nd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything less than 100% in every game between now and the end of the season is unacceptable, if we fall short and finish 3rd then it's not the end of the world but the supporters who pay good money to watch the team week in week out and make sacrifices to be there deserve nothing less than the players busting a gut for the cause. It's not like they had been doing that for MW, now is the time for them to step up and prove they deserve to be here. IMO of course. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craiggybear 6,329 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 If Pedro keeps the team focussed I really think 2nd will take care of itself tbh. The sheep are pish and they'll keep dropping points. But the Cup is a must for this season - Some silverware for the shite we've put up with on and off the park, and more importantly the joy of fucking up their treble once again.

loyalfollower 1,543 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 It's alright saying beat the sheep twice and what not but beating them twice is irrelevant if we can't win the others which include Celtic at ibrox and potentially we could be away at hearts and the sheep post split. So it's going to be tough. ill just take it one game at a time Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullies_bowly_legs 3,950 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 The one good thing is the sheep were chasing the scum hard last season and then just fell apart as the finish got near. Pressure maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play that's a good shout mate, but when you look at the last few games before the hearts at the weekend - 1-0 win at home against Motherwell (92nd min winner ) 1-0 win against thistle Beaten 1-0 off Hamilton 1-0 win against Ross county 2-1 win against Kilmarnock (85th min winner) They've been scraping these games against bottom end teams and they've still got a few dodgy games before the split. Am I misguided? Possibly. Am I optimistic? Definitely! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
