Can we win the title?

[Jack C 66]

Yes because this is football and why we all love it.

Worth pointing out that this account also predicted them winning the league last October/November, even when we were 4/6 points ahead:

October last year it had us finishing on 74 points, we got 89.

Aye, but that was under a manager who literally couldn’t be arsed anymore and was looking to leave 

But things were looking good and we were going well compared to now it’s massive disaster

Hope not, it’s the kind of thing our (and most) coaching staff use often.

How does it benefit us looking at someone's guess of who will end up on what points?

It further confirms that things can’t stay the same as they are, something has to change.

While I hope it does, unfortunately I can’t see it changing with Gio in charge, he’s pretty much followed the expected pattern of a team that doesn’t win the league.

Not really, we went about 9 or 10 consecutive games conceding first, didn’t we?

I remember plenty of folk having reservations about us, it was completely unsustainable. Gio thankfully stopped us conceding as much, but then we went too far the other way and stopped creating enough - now we’re conceding too much and not scoring much

Basically means we’ll have roughly the same points total as Gerrard’s 18/19 side. Not surprising considering most of our starters were in the team then.

What a load of absolute mystic Meg shite.

Noo we can at 5 behind we couldnae 

[The No.9 760]

I still think they’re favourites and will likely get back on a winning run after this but it certainly gave us a life line again yesterday just hope we come back from the break stronger though I’m still not feeling confident about it

I suspected it might be but answered it anyway

For what it’s worth, I didn’t feel it was a disaster at this point last season and I don’t think it’s a disaster at this point (yet). I really hope we massively improve without the need for a new manager, because it’s a total pain in the arse finding a new one and getting them to settle in mid-season. Realistically though, it usually only happens with a change of manager or half the team being dropped/replaced, and I can’t see the latter happening.

Yeah, I’d never use them to accurately predict exact points totals, but I do think they give you a decent idea of who will finish where and (roughly) how far ahead they’ll finish.

[Amato 3,029]

Today was massive in terms of "can we win the title?"

Hardest fixture outside of the old firm games and it was a breeze. We definitely can win title.

[Bad Robot 21,512]

Don’t be silly as most on here surrendered the league flag on match day six

[Johnnyem 238]

Of course we can still win the league, there are many battles to be still won and lost. we can take heart from today's result and be confident going forward, one slip from THEM and we are right in there.

[King Jela 20,643]

It's not looking too gloom and doom now. 

The fenians look like they're hitting a bit of a sticky patch

The difference between them and us is that when they are bossing games they go for more goals while we slow the tempo and become lazy, sloppy and lose concentration. At times it was hard to tell which team had the extra man until they tired late on.

Thanks for that insight doc...

[KingKirk 25,787]

My opinion hasn't changed since the window shut. We don't have a strong enough squad currently. Be consistent and continue to get 3 pts up until we can address those issues in January. 

CM, RW and potentially CB cover get those sorted we can then have a serious conversation about the league title.

Stuff like this is people playing mystic Meg with football teams, one lot of pish.

[MacBoyd 5,618]

If we can find a way to get morelos and colak in the side we will be a much more threatening team, I thought morelos looked sharp yesterday. Could he play from the right, like roofe did 2 seasons ago? Actually think he'd score alot from that position.

It's not always easy to play against 10 men. We won 4-0 at a very tough venue and hopefully that has instilled some much needed confidence in the squad. 

[.Williamson. 83,623]

A lot more confident that we can than I was a couple of weeks ago. 

They dropped points to St Mirren and very easily could have dropped more yesterday at home to Motherwell, if it weren’t for McGregor getting himself sent off for pulling a Well player to the ground as the last man. 

They’re now missing their captain for an away game to St Johnstone next weekend and after that they play Hibs, who quite often take points from them and following that they have Hearts and Livi away.

Optimistic after both ours and their results yesterday
