Points from the last 6 games (Broons first 6 in charge)

 

Celtic          16

Aberdeen    13 

Hearts        13

Huns          12

St John        11

Killie            9

Scumdee      8

Well            5

Helen          5

Accies        4

ICT            2

Hivs            1

 

Wouldn't even like to comtemplate what the previous 6 looked like, too scared to look. Massive difference (obviously) and surely if we keep this up over the next 11 games and beat the teams just above then top 6 can be achieved.

Just look at Hibs 

 

Sometimes it's amazing in a good way and with Hibs, it's amazing in a good way too.

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.

 

 

So, no chance then?

Table after all the above fixtures could be;

 

5. Dundee UTD  37

6. Motherwell 34

7. Aberdeen 33

8. ICT 31

9. 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.

Dunt.

Indeed hurdle cleared, lets hae these jambo cunts

Dunt.

Trying to stay optimistic too Ajja! Would soooooo love to burst the jambos bubble on Sat! x

ach well, at least we tried

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 

Good result for us tonight. Thought Motherwell were a sure thing for 3 points against St Mirren.

Are you incapable of even writing in English?

 

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

I would say in general, results aren't going against us at the moment. Hamilton on the other hand are in serious trouble.

Aye, because footballers from other parts of the country are as eloquent as yourself who seems to be the standard bearer in all these matters, eh?

You're just having a go at him for the sake of having a go at him now, at least his post was relevant to the thread.

 

 

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.

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)

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.

Rangers aren't in exactly in the best form of their lives though, a point wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility.

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. 

Is our game v the vermin not at Pittodrie?

So it is, ok maybe get a point out of that after all

Interesting to note what sides have needed in previous years to get top 6 (shamelessly stolen from Mad (thanks CaddyCarhandle) which would suggest we will have to pull off a fairly stunning set of results to get into top 6. 

Never mind, perhaps a run of 5 wins from the bottom 6 will be better preparation for the cup final anyway
