mizer Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Amazing what happens when you sack a manager. Just look at Hibs Quote
TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted January 27, 2011 Report Posted January 27, 2011 Just look at Hibs Sometimes it's amazing in a good way and with Hibs, it's amazing in a good way too. Quote
Ajja Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 If we assume that we are not going to catch Killmarnock in that period leading up to the end of February and that none of the teams below us will catch us then we are basically competing with 4 other teams to get 5th spot going into March. Here are the fixtures each team has with possible points; Aberdeen; Celtic (H) 1 St Johnstone (A) 3 Motherwell (H) 3 Kilmarnock (H) 3 Hamilton (H) 3 Hearts (H) 1 Total 14 (Giving us 37 for season) * Points based on what we might need rather than what is likely St Johnstone; Hearts (A) 0 - 0 points achieved Hamilton (H) 3 Aberdeen (H) 0 ICT (A) 1 Dundee UTD (H) 1 Huns (A) 0 Total 5 (Giving them 31 for season) ICT; Dundee UTD (H) 1 St Mirren (A) 3 St Johnstone (H) 1 Hibs (A) 1 Total 6 (Giving them 35 for season) Motherwell; Kilmarnock (H) 0 Huns (A) 0 Aberdeen (A) 0 Hamilton (H) 3 St Mirren (H) 3 Celtic (H) 0 Total 6 (Giving them 34 for season) Dundee UTD; Hibs (H) 3 - 3 points achieved ICT (A) 1 Celtic (H) 0 Hamilton (H) 3 Hearts (A) 0 St Johnstone (A) 1 Hamilton (A) 3 Total 11 (Giving them 37 for season) So with all that in mind, the table looks like this come March 1; 5. Dundee UTD 37 6. Aberdeen 37 7. ICT 35 8. Motherwell 34 9. St Johnstone 31 All looks reasonably achievable but it depends a lot on us getting a high points haul, basically winning 4 games on the trot sandwiched between draws with Cletic and Hearts at home.

St Johnstone 30 After losing to Motherwell we really need St Mirren to take something from Motherwell to get a sniff at top 6. I suspect UTD will make top 6 so we will want them to beat ICT as they look catchable. Looks like its all about catching Motherwell, assuming we can take points in Perth and possibly sneak a win against Hearts. Quote
mizer Posted February 22, 2011 Report Posted February 22, 2011 Indeed hurdle cleared, lets hae these jambo cunts Quote
Aberdeen_Ladette Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Dunt. Trying to stay optimistic too Ajja! Would soooooo love to burst the jambos bubble on Sat! x Quote
glasgow sheep Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 ach well, at least we tried Quote
caledonia Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 If only we made the change in the close season, We could have been in the position Hearts are in at the moment. Dont make me laugh Although we have improved we are hardly world beaters (maybe its the 5-0 that has everyone thinking we are great again) I will wait till after the hearts game to see how far we have came Quote
Ajja Posted February 23, 2011 Report Posted February 23, 2011 Good result for us tonight. Thought Motherwell were a sure thing for 3 points against St Mirren. Quote

It should be "how far we have come" You write like a moronic weegie footballer would speak (assuming speech has reached weegie footballers) And I'll happily take all the -1s Quote
manc_don Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Good result for us tonight. Thought Motherwell were a sure thing for 3 points against St Mirren. I would say in general, results aren't going against us at the moment. Hamilton on the other hand are in serious trouble. Quote

dave_min Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 It is still possible as the fixtures that ajja posted aren't all the fixtures until the split. Aberdeen v Hearts St Johnstone v Aberdeen Dundee Utd v Aberdeen Motherwell v Aberdeen St Mirren v Aberdeen Aberdeen v Hibernian COYR Not the easiest set of fixtures. Draws in the first 4 games and wins in the last 2 would be the minumum i'd expect from it - which, looking at the current table won't be enough for the top 6. COYR! Quote
glasgow sheep Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Not the easiest set of fixtures. Draws in the first 4 games and wins in the last 2 would be the minumum i'd expect from it - which, looking at the current table won't be enough for the top 6. COYR! Yeah realistically even two wins from the first four games won't be enough. We also have an away game at ibrox to fit in (0 pts) Quote
CtS Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 I can see us catching Motherwell and St Johnstone, but we also need to make up a 4 point gap on ICT who have a far superior goal difference, albeit their fixtures look a bit harder than ours. It's going to be close, think last week's defeat against Motherwell could be the blip that costs us top six. On the plus side, the very fact we're even discussing top six shows how much our fortunes have changed under Knox and Brown. Good work fellas. Quote

Harcus Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Is our game v the vermin not at Pittodrie? Kerrect. It's the game from 20th March, when Huns will be in League Cup final. Quote
glasgow sheep Posted February 24, 2011 Report Posted February 24, 2011 Is our game v the vermin not at Pittodrie? So it is, ok maybe get a point out of that after all Quote
