I don’t think the draw changes anything really in that respect. Better for us if QP lose to Morton, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 I think that's a decent result for us tonight. As it gets us a bit closer to a top 4 spot and also doesn't effect our 1 in a million chance of winning the league. A top 4 place is now guaranteed with 57 points. With our goal difference 58 points probably also means 3rd at worst and possibly second. We have a really really outside possibility of winning the league. For it to happen we need to win all remaining games which is unlikely enough. However we also need Dundee to lose at least 2 of their last 3 and concede a few goals whilst Queens pick up no more than 3 points from 2 games. Based on their performance tonight I'm not sure where Queens get 3 points from. Can't see them beating Morton or Dundee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a couple of different ways we could win the league but they include us winning our 3 games. Dundee could draw all 3 or draw 2 and win 1. They could lose all 3, as long as QP lose 1 before they beat Dundee. I felt before tonight that Ayr could lose out and I still think they might. That game was pretty dire. I think we'll be third but could maybe sneak into second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the title is pretty much Dundee's. I also can't see Queens winning their last 2 and its entirely possible Queens finish 4th. However its a big ask for us to win our last 3. I believe tonight's result guarantees Dundee and Queens a playoff spot as a minimum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAG1970 Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 If ICT beat Dundee tomorrow they go just 1 point behind the top 2…. They’re on a remarkable run of form having won their last 6 league matches (and in the semi final of the cup).. Although they will have just one league game to play after tomorrow. Fantasy football…. ICT beat Dundee Dundee beat Cove Morton draw with QP QP draw with Dundee ICT beat Ayr We win our 3 games….. Dundee 62 points, Thistle 61, QP/ICT 60 points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we win 3 and Dundee lose 2 that’s it down to 1 at most.Really depends on how many Dundee beat Cove by, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAG1970 Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Realistically 2nd is probably gone, and I don’t fancy our chances in getting through up to 6 games if we finish 3/4th with what looks like a threadbare squad.. No experienced defenders on the bench today (apparently both Brownlie and Muirhead are carrying knocks), in midfield the likes of Smith and McKinnon are clearly not rated, and perhaps only Mullen is a realistic option to bring on up front. With Tiffoney again struggling for fitness it further reduces options. If you take the 11 who started today plus Tiffoney and Mullen then we have just 13 players + Sneddon to chose from. Dowds, Smith, McKinnon (and the injured Hodson) can’t complain about being on the bench, Mackenzie hasn’t really featured yet, So it looks like we’re running with only 12 serious contenders for 10 outfield positions….

Disagree. 2nd is a real possibility IF we win our last 2. On our day we are perfectly capable of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowenBoys Posted April 30, 2023 Report Share Posted April 30, 2023 It beggars belief that the SFA and SPFL have managed to schedule the finals of 2 competitions for the same week. Presumably, not expecting a Championship team to reach the Cup final. Play off Final first leg - 1 June Scottish Cup Final - 3 June Play off Final second leg - 4 June If ICT make it to the Play off Final, the dates will have to change. If the final is against Thistle, we may find that our players' contract extensions are not long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
