Not sure what game you were watching , we had a late flurry in the last 5 mins but we never controlled the midfield for the best part of the 2nd half at all We had our best chances in the entire second half through Spittal. he set up Storey which produced a great save from the County keeper we then had several chances from his corners as opposed to the hopeless corners woods had taken throughout the match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My worry with Accies is that Motherwell will have one eye on the cup final when they play them on the last day. The main thing is that we need to win our 2 games so lets all keep the faith. A draw leaves both sides reachable. A win puts one of them beyond us. Draw probably leave more potential combinations where we could finish 10th. What will be will be.

Not sure what game you were watching , we had a late flurry in the last 5 mins but we never controlled the midfield for the best part of the 2nd half at all Thought the substitution of Edwards was fairly obvious once we went 4-4-2 (4-4-1-1?). He's no wide player and carrying a booking into the bargain. Agree with others re Storey being rotten. The only thing positive about him coming on was to allow Erskine to move back into his normal position, where he was playing well. I doubt anyone would question the effort shown last night, even if it came thru a County mistake we were deserving of our goal lead. Thereafter I thought we were crying out for someone with more composure on the field. Trouble being that neither of the three players that can supply that quality, Osman, Barton and to a lesser degree Spittal, were selected to start for understandable reasons. We probably dodged a bullet with Barton having to play at left centreback, not his best position by far, but on the positive side I thought he had a lot to do with that late flurry. Showed at least there's more to urgency that kick and run. Last night we kicked off playing a similar game to the last home match v Motherwell. That kinda shock tactics worked then. Didn't quite come off last night and was only effective for the first quarter of the game as opposed to the whole first half against'Well.

Agree Dundee win.Hamilton imo are more likely to go on a bad run and lose their last 2 games.But that also means we would need to take at least 4 points from our last 2 games to take advantage.

Auld Jag Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Yet another chance to put pressure on the teams above us missed.I don't think anyone would disagree Tuesday's night game is a must win game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagfox Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 1 - 0 Dundee at the moment. No Templeton for Accies and Woods their goalkeeper went off injured at halftime. I wonder when Accies will equalise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie was spot on there. 100% right not to bring in any replacements during January apart from Cargill to replace Turnbull. Banzo still hasn't played, nor has Muzzy, and Fraser is now sitting on the bench in Greenock. But I'm sure we will be fine when they're back.

Auld Jag Posted May 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 As I have said before I think Hamilton could struggle to get anymore than a point out of there remaining 2 games.So we need 2 victories and I think we would be 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has been a very poor season.The annoying thing for me is we have had chances to put pressure or even overtake the teams above us.Dundee at Firhill1-0 up with 10minutes to go we lose 2-1,Hamilton away 1-0 up lose 2-1,even last night a win would have put more pressure on Dundee and Hamilton before todays game.Now to be in with a chance of avoiding the play off place we need 2 victories.

Lenziejag Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 6 hours ago, Jaggernaut said: That's the only tangible "positive." Yes, survival is in our hands, but only if Ross County continue to lose or draw.... a single win for them and failure by us to more than match their points total, then it's down we go. Hope? Yes. Realistic? Hell, yes! If we win both our games there is nothing Ross County can do to overtake us. I am pretty sure that is what Allyo meant. Not sure why you think it is more likely that they succeed and we don’t ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they play Hamilton last game ,I hope(that word again)with it being a derby it will mean Motherwell are more up for it.But at the end of the day our fate at the moment is still in our own hands.We could win both games and still be in the play off, but that still keeps it in our own hands.We off course have to beat Motherwell on Tuesday any other result could see us going bottom.

ClydebankJag Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 6 hours ago, Big Col said: And based on performances in last couple of games, what's the most likely? Who is more likely to win on Tuesday? If I had to predict then based on form since the split I’d say Thistle; -County 2 points DLD -Thistle 5 points WDD Of course neither side may win but as DL1971 pointed out no one can predict with any certainty what will happen so why don’t we wait and see before writing our team off?

MonehJags Posted May 6, 2018 Report Share Posted May 6, 2018 I love reading the optimists reaction. Its incredible how after a tough season where weve won 7 games, there is belief we can win the 2 remaining games. Its always been in our hands but if were goin to let stevie g pish on us next year were going to have to rely on county gettin horsed and us beating united in a playoff. If we do survive that, Archie still must go. Its been unbearable for too long. Brendan, Clarke and Gerrard, maybe we could appoint someone who can bring in someone to bring a bit of long overdue excitement back to Maryhill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
