Are we back in the relegation mire ?

[Kerso]

St mirren and killie winning today was a frikin nightmare

Aberdeen only 4 ahead 

We are 5

Dabs 7 

Getting tight 

I would like to think we have enough about us to get clear of the madhouse

I think the whole of the bottom 6 are in a relegation fight. Looking bad for Livie  but any of the others could end up in the playoff spot.

You’re right, the bottom six are so bad anyone can get dragged in.

We're as good as (or as bad as depending on your viewpoint) every team in the bottom six. I reckon we're better than two of them, unfortunately one of those two is a derby game where results could go either way on the day. We're also better than Killie but have one more game (possibly two) against them on that atrocious pitch of theirs.

A lot will depend on the game down at Kilmarnock, beat them and I think we're pretty much sorted, lose it and the post split becomes squeaky bum time. which is why I think that's a must win game.

Bear in mind though that we still have a bit of a cushion and it's easy to look at those breathing down our necks and think 'if they win all their games and we lose all ours' but the thing is, they can't all win all their games and I doubt we'll lose all of ours. Throats will be cut and we need to make sure we're sharpening the knives post split.

Dees retain 8th position after Aberdeen get hammered at Ibrox.

Hopefully the same will befall the DABs tomorrow. 

[dumdeedumdeedum]

Yep ,defo, shit scores today

 

[Valentke]

We were never out of it- killie were expected to win so no surprise there. We are playing pretty well so as long as that continues we should be fine come the end of the season 

[gblue]

If we beat Kilmarnock before the split I think we will be ok problem it’s a big if.

[Billy Campbell's Ghost]

That's the game we need a big support. Let's get to Killie!!

[Ludo*1]

Yeah, as others have said, we've never been safe. And more importantly our manager has been saying that week after week.

Celtic next week whilst Kilmarnock have Hibs away. Theoretically they could be looking to leapfrog us before the split.

We gained 9 points in a single week back in December. It's not over until it's over.

The good thing about it all is that we currently have a minimum 1 game cushion above 2 of those below us and we also have 3 teams (Livi are done) below us. No reason why we shouldn't be looking above us as we have the talent to do so.

Wins from now to the end of the season will be very precious in the bottom 6 and hopefully the other teams in the bottom 6 will draw a lot of their games and keep the pressure on themselves

Livingston … another ‘miracle’ escape ??? 5 Draws after the split for them would be fine.

That could Reduce our rivals to 4 games and them needing at least 2 wins out of those 4 to get themselves up the table - that’s a mighty challenge to all the teams below us.

As usual, all ifs and buts and could be’s.

St.Mirren v Aberdeen and Dee v Killie before the split are the 6 pointers that are left.

We’ll not get fek all V Green Glasgow Mafia as that will never be allowed in this ‘Wonderful for the Scottish Game 3 Team Title Race’.

Just give us All the Luck that Jobbieball can Muster

I would say it’s looking significantly worse than bad for livi . Even if they were to double their points tally from the previous 31 games in the last 7 games they would still likely finish comfortably bottom. 
 

This play off spot if likely to get interesting over the next few weeks as the other 5 sides could all get dragged into it.
