SussexJag Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 By my reckoning we had: - 7 points from 27 in the first 9 games - very bad. - 11 points from 27 in the next 9 games - average. So 18 points after 18 games - deep trouble. - 19 points from 36 in the last 12 games - probably only Aberdeen and Celtic have bettered a run like that this season. So if we avoided our usual terrible SPL opening couple of months, we could be ahead of Hearts and Saints. And god knows how many points we've lost to very late goals...

SussexJag Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Yup fair point, not sure why I'm doing what ifs ... Should just be happy with us looking good for 6th - easily the best position from my Jaggy life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen1876 Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Thought this all season - Archie must be kicking himself with his bad luck. For me our start was fully connected to our injury problems. If I remember right, 12 players out on night 1 at Airdrie, a number of guys who had little or no pre-season (e.g. Booth, Elliott, Osman), 6 keepers in the match day squad this season, key players missing all or part of the the season etc I'm fully convinced we fell out of games late early in the season due to this, which makes the job Archie and Scott have done all the more amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SussexJag Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 That's prob bang on re the start. Fully agree about the manager and Paterson. Truly amazing. Assuming they get poached at some point with the proverbial financial offer they can't refuse - any thoughts on our plan B? So many poor managers who get job after job. Pretty sure our board will have a plan though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 Get rid of those late goals lost, and a European place might just have been there.......... But hey, this has been our best season in decades, so well done everybody! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 While we're playing ifs and buts had we scored one measly goal two months ago at home to St Johnstone (hardly an unreasonable if) and a second goal at Tynecastle (even the most bitter Hearts fan would admit would've been deserved) the league would read St J 41 pts, Jambos 40 pts, Jags 40 pts. Anyway, we didn't 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, this has been our best season in decades, so well done everybody! Careful what you wish for here - The Europa League can be a killer for clubs like us - a June start to the competitive season and a potentially expensive trip to the middle of nowhere with a week to organise.

angry gaz Posted April 2, 2017 Report Share Posted April 2, 2017 For me, the two major factors in our early poor form were the suprisingly poor performances from Ziggy Gordon and the injury to Cerny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
