Ok, in terms of form we are in the worse shape of the teams in contention but was just thinking that ourselves (and Ross County) have a slight advantage over the other three teams in that if we win any of our game remaining not only do we get 3 points but we deny one of the other teams an opportunity to get three points also.

The other three teams still have to play Hearts - a game where they can get themselves three points but can't do the double whammy of taking a points opportunity from a rival.

Suppose you can flip it round and say that, if us or Ross County lose a game now we are hit with a double whammy as we lose points and a rival gains where as the rest can perhaps afford to lose a game more so long as it is the one against Hearts.

We will win our last three games ~ Fact ! No matter how s**t the season has been, we will be fine

The only way we'll have an advantage over the other teams is if we pick up more points than them over the last three games of the season.

I don't think we should be overthinking things here. If we pick up wins, we'll stay up and if we don't, then we'll likely be in the play off.

Simples.

That's something we haven't achieved all season so it's highly unlikely I will settle for three points tomorrow though .

We have, believe it or not!

We won three games in a row over the festive period against Ross County, Kilmarnock and Hearts.

Unfortunately we've only won one game since. :rolleyes:

The law of averages suggests we are due a win. Not confident of that outcome however. If we win tomorrow, i think we will go unbeaten fort the rest of the season. A draw, squeeky bum time. A loss, blind panic!

We defo have an advantage over the others. Reasons why;
1. We have two home games at TBGAWA "fortress", a fortress suggests we are strong there so 4-6 points should be easy to come by
2. We always beat Ross County. We will win in the Highlands next week, I think we have won 3/4 or 4/4 v County this season
3. The players are up for it. Well I hope so as they've been doing the talking all week

A fortress implies impregnable ,let's hope our defence is today

we have had good fortune against Ross County ,let's hope it continues.

players can Talk the Talk but let's hope today They Walk The Walk

So am hoping for a Win and will be there and don't want to see the hapless hopeless Hibs

Today has to be the Performance of the Season in terms of showing desire ,bottle and pressing for goals as will need two to win it and defence need somehow to find the form they showed when T B first came in .

Amazing how there's a Hearts angle to everything we do. Fact is there isn't. All we need to do is win today, and it doesn't matter what happens elsewhere.
