Will we officially be at risk of relegation?

Tomorrow's game is actually massive. If we lose we could end up in 10th place depending on other results.

Edinburgh Derby looming also which we could go into in the top 6 or adrift in 10th. Huge couple of weeks coming up for Montgomery.

The league is so tight, almost anything is possible, win, lose or draw.

There’s no question we need to get winning games soon, ideally tomorrow but even if we do lose tomorrow then there’s still plenty to play for looking up the way.

We’ve taken 6 points out of 6 v Aberdeen this season, no reason we shouldn’t get something tomorrow

It’s a fair enough point to ask.

If we lose I’d say top 6 is gone. The swing in points and relying on us winning with a trip to tynie plus relying on the above teams all going on losing runs and us the opposite - it’d be too much

Draw probably not enough.

Win, it’s that simple. Followed up by another must win home game the following week, moves us going in to the derby with a bit confidence and hopefully shut them up a little bit anyway.

I think Monty really needs a big win. Going to Aberdeen and winning always a decent result regardless of how they are looking imo.

He's here!

Don't think we can be too sure of that. I'd take a draw, but if we do lose what we need to see is that we were capable of winning the game had the breaks gone our way. A morale-sapping defeat of the St Mirren ilk and we're in trouble.

I think we will win, but, if we take nothing from the game, we are looking at the possibility of a relegation struggle. And before it’s pointed out that we are just as near to a top six finish, losing trends are more likely to continue than reverse. Fingers crossed.

Top 6 is nowhere near gone if we lose tomorrow.

In the games coming up we have Dundee at home, a double header against Ross County and a home game against Livingston. Derby is a derby and not one I’m prepared to write off just yet either.

Loads of points still to play for and all teams above us will take points off each other.

Totally agree. The games are ticking down and we need to start putting points on the board, nothing done either way tomorrow.

Everybody is going to take points from each other and there is going to be dropped points all over the place. Got a game in hand, against Ross County, to the teams above us with the exception of Dundee, who we really need to beat next week.

“Actually massive”. With almost every game in most leagues being “massive” I have 2 questions:

1) Have we lost a sense of perspective - if they are all massive surely no distinction.
2) Do we need a new term?

Was if the internet that started the will he / won’t he X games to save the season / job?

Stubbs had a tumultuous start to his Hibs career. But kept his head and came close to being the first manager to deliver both cups from a lower league.

So keep the heid. It’s all relative. From mammory ;) our record at the dunghill is not great - although I I do seem to remember being in the beach end when Mickey scored in a victory (in the Merkland Road end) back in the early 90s…

Believe in better.

To go 10th St J need to beat Rangers. Not sure that will happen.

Aberdeen away is a very tough place to get a win. If we lose we lose; big test is Dundee the following week.

Well said Bingo.

Ideally we’ll win but if we get edged out in a tight game away from home then that’s life.

If we go down in a similar manner as we did to St. Mirren then it’s a major concern and the manager will come under pressure again and any little bit of “feel good” from the cup result last week will be lost.

I’m firmly in the camp of wanting Monty to turn it round and wanting to keep him. Anything remotely resembling St Mirren then he should be out of a job before we get back to Edinburgh though. Thankfully I don’t think we’ll see anything like that.

Let’s not kid ourselves though, any defeat regardless of the circumstances and the pressure builds. Badly need points.

I'm just asking a realistic question that I think needs asked and keen to hear people's thoughts. Not as I've said I think we will get pumped tomorrow 🤔 which for the record I don't think will happen

There’s nothing wrong with supporters expressing their feelings, positive or negative, unless NM and our players are scrutinising this message board, which I seriously doubt. In fact, if they are looking in, it might spur them on a bit.

If we lose don’t think we will get relegated But the longer we go without a league win the more pressure we are under
Not sure how tomorrow will pan out with them coming back from three nil down midweek

That team last week isn’t one that’s going to be getting relegated.

Will be bumps along the way but the quality in there will see us turning defeats and draws into wins very soon. We might lose tomorrow - who can ever know what’s going to unfold, but a defeat shouldn’t have us rushing to look out the sackcloths and ashes quite just yet.

Feeling pretty confident we are winning tomorrow anyway.

NO ! .

If Motherwell can get a result at pittodrie then we are more than capable of going there and getting a result too which I think we will 🇳🇬👍

I don’t quite have your confidence for tomorrow, C, and I would take a draw right now. A defeat isn’t the end of the world, but recent history suggests we’re not the strongest of teams when under pressure.

Seemed a fair enough question. Don’t you think people have the right to be annoyed with this season? It’s been disgraceful again.

As for the question, no we won’t be at risk. We won’t be going down. Ross County and Livingston are much worse than us. And I fully expect us to finish ahead of St Johnstone and Motherwell too.

.....It will heap more pressure on Montgomery and our owner.

Defeat would drain even more confidence from the squad and would definitely put us in a relegation battle. Top 5 is a pipe dream at the moment. Anyone with eyes on this are deluded.

The Gordons & Kensell sacked Ross, Maloney & Johnson for the kind of run Montgomery has us on. Yes, we looked OK against Celtic, but can we produce even three points in dog-fights against Aberdeen & Dundee in the next two games. If not we will go into the derby game on a shocking run. Defeat there and he would have to get sacked.

Everything is on the line in the next 3 games.

Why just three games there are loads of games we can get points off. Think we win tomorrow but not going to be phoning the Samaritans if we don’t

Don't really expect anyone on here phoning the Samaritans if we lose.

In the SPFL Montgomery has failed. Credit to The Gordons and McDermott for providing him with more players. But he has to start to get a tune out of them and winning games. We have not won in the league since 9 December.

How long does he get if he cannot win league games?

I think the position we are in is definitely precarious, and we know from not too distant history how we can sleepwalk into relegation. IIRC, we were never in the playoff position under Butcher until full time on the final day of the season. It can happen.

Tomorrow isn't quite make or break for the season, but we're running out of games where we can say that and target than looking at what might happen if we lost tomorrow, I'm hoping Hibs are looking at the opportunity we've got if we win, as that then adds to Aberdeen's woes.


I think we recruited well, the bench last Saturday was night and day to the standard that we saw through January and so even if we don't win tomorrow, we should have more than enough about us to climb the table and still finish the season strongly.

Aberdeen are as poor as us. Literally. Identical league stats. It's a 50/50 game if ever there was one. Our head to head better though. We should be disappointed if we don't win.

Loads of points still to play for and all teams above us will take points off each other.Mate we've only won 6 league games in the last 6 months.

I'm all for optimism, but a 25% win rate and 2 points picked up from the last 15 available SHOULD be ringing alarm bells.

If you're not worried, you're not paying attention - lose today and I'm starting to **** it a bit TBQHWY.

We've got far too much to go down. It's just about if we are capable of lifting ourselves to get where we want to be.

We are desperate to get a couple of wins on the bounce and the difference that would make because everyone around us is consistently inconsistent aswell.
