If they can get even one win from those 4 fixtures (hopefully not against us) that should see them above Hearts going into the split and then they will face Hearts at home in a potential relegation decider :brokenyam:

Them winning at Ibrox is a win, win situation...

I hope they draw with Rangers on Saturday. Another fixture to add to the list would be worse than a defeat for them

Hamilton also have St Johnstone away.

I don’t think that’s too bad a run of fixtures for them. They will dig a result out somewhere in amongst that lot.

Two way fight between Hearts and Hamilton for 11th now IMO. Which is ideal as I’d like them both relegated.

I think the best/most composed midfielder out of the bottom three teams is the Saints captain & no16 Foley

Foley's also the best leader of any of the bottom 3, a real leader, unlike Naismith who comes across as more of a gobby wee bully, which is a disaster for morale & totally counter productive when you're already in the shXt as a team.

I reckon the best defender out of the bottom three teams is Gogic of Hamilton

I reckon the most dangerous creative player out of the bottom 3 is Durmis, the Saints winger (matchwinner last night & gave SDG a torrid time at ER)

Boyce is the best predator, but that's not much use if you can't get the ball to him in the opposition's box often enough.

I think Hearts are going down here

Hearts midfield and defence is pretty brutal. The midfield is especially light on quality. The defence has some decent players but Stendel is making them look garbage by playing this high line and letting teams turn them.

Falkirk went in to the 2008/9 split at the bottom, 4 points behind ICT and 6 behind Hamilton, St Mirren and Killie. They got 10 points post split including beating ICT on the last day to catch both them and St Mirren.

A heavy defeat at ER and they might just have enough cover to bin him and get someone (Locke?) to go for the desperate rescue mission. I think that's their best hope tbh.

It doesn't matter what we all think. We could all think that they'll sink and never be heard of again, but that might not happen.

You think they're doomed. I think they'll survive.

Also, they're not further adrift at the bottom. They're 2 points behind Hamilton with a game in hand and exactly the same goal difference.

If people are confident that hearts will fail, you can get 11/2 for them finishing bottom.

Best you'll get for Hamilton is only 8/11.

It is in their own hands.

They have to play St Mirren twice and Hamilton once. They're only 2 points behind Hamilton with a game in hand.

I know your feelings, we have discussed this before. You stick up for Hearts all you want. Personally I will enjoy them squirm and point out their failings. As they would be doing to us.

Of their six remaining games before the split only one is really winnable with some certainty not to say they might pick more points - Ross County at home.

They would have to win 4 out if 5 of their post split fixtures to stand a chance of avoiding the play off with two of those games likely to relegation dog fights. Seems a tall order with them having won only 3 games this season.

I'm not sure I'd see it as sticking up for Hearts. More a case of finding it hard to believe that with all the cash they've had thrown at them that they won't find a way to scrape clear of the drop. Doesn't mean we don't all see them as utterly pathetic for finding themselves in this situation.

Personally I suspect they may just creep ahead of Accies, but as the games count down and the likes of St Mirren and Ross County start to pull away I'm finding it hard to see them do any more than that. Play-off would be my bet at this stage. Hopefully I'm wrong though and straight relegation awaits them.

If they had more quality they wouldn't currently be bottom and three matches adrift of 10th safety.

There was an old sitcom on ITV called "Never Mind The Quality, Feel The Width" some of us aging Boomers might remember. Well they have neither the quality nor the width

Bugger off with the stick up for hearts rubbish. Are the bookies sticking up for hearts?

No, if course not. No-one is sticking up for anyone. We're crystal ball gazing.

I choose to have nothing to do with hearts supporters either in person or online so fill your boots if that's your thing.

No-one is stopping you.

I think people are more looking at the past and the size of the club, and not taking into account how bad they are.

I just think its a bit of a slight on the mentality of Hibs fans that we assume Hearts will be safe and indeed beat us in the game coming up (as some have said). You wouldn't get this from Hearts fans, who always see us as dreadful regardless of the situation. I would like us to have a similar mentality towards them. And I started going in the 80s so I do understand why we think the way we do. But they are bad at the moment, really bad.

Iv tried to explain what I mean a little more above. Anyway I will leave it at that. Certainly dont want to argue with fellow Hibs fans.

I said St Mirren have more quality than the other two. Not Hearts.

The difference is, both ST Mirren and Hamilton are used to fighting relegation on a near yearly basis!
So it must be worth at least a couple of points over the big team, who are usually winning the league in September!!!!!

Maybe I should have said that there's a difference between what I want to happen and what I think is mostly likely.

St Mirren have developed into a decent looking side, far better than Hearts, reckon they'll take at least 4 out of the 6 points.

But I reckon Hamilton will finish bottom, can't see them pulling away with the games they have left.

Hope it's Dundee they face in the play offs. Can you imagine Robbo and ICT sending them down? He would bottle it.

Skybet being so far out of line from other bookies have created a nice dutch with a 15% profit.

Where are you getting 11/2?

That would be the worst book in history... 8/11 and 11/2 with presumably bigger the rest 😂

I’m seeing 8/11 accies, 5/2 hearts and 7/2 st mirren.
