Are you confident we'll finish in the top six?

[G B Young]

Personally I've been impressed enough by the changes Jack Ross has made to be pretty confident we'll remain in the top six.

[B.H.F.C]

The next four games will define this. 3 at home (Ross County, Livi, Hearts) and away to Killie.

We have to be looking at a good points total from those games. If we get it we’ll be comfortably top six with the chance to make a late push on the places above us. Ultimately, it’ll be fifth or sixth at best but it would be good to at least think about the places above.

[The Modfather]

I think we’ll be relatively comfortable in the end for the top 6 but, cup aside, I’m just waiting on the season ending.

[Carheenlea]

I think we will do so comfortably. Not concerned about those behind us, and expect Livingston to fall back, but Motherwell and Aberdeen are looking out of sight.

I think we look good to finish 5th, but while on paper that wouldn’t look too bad, it would only be reasonable if we were closer points wise to Aberdeen and Motherwell.

[Smartie]

No.

By that I mean I’m not confident rather than we won’t finish top 6.

We’re too hot and cold to be confident of anything. There are a few positive signs at the moment (form of Boyle, emergence of Newell, some decent new signings, Doidge’s goals) but there are also a few negatives (silly goals being lost, lack of a DM, starting games badly, questionable tactical decisions).

We might only be a decent draw away from having another good cup run and I could see us being a dangerous cup team.

Re the league though - next season can’t come quickly enough really.

[The 90+2]

I think the teams above and below us will want and need the wins more. I’ve a feeling we play rangers in the cup final again though.

[Heisenberg]

I think it’ll be tight. Can’t say I care all that much (unless we somehow get dragged into a relegation fight). Bottom six means another Derby. Top six means bit more cash and that’s about it.

[Keith_M]

I'm not 100% confident but think we will.

We had enough quality to have fantastic wins against Aberdeen and Motherwell shortly before the break and need to start showing that on a regular basis.

We might even have a trip to Hampden (depending on the draw) to look forward to.

[Hibeesmad]

Aye I'm pretty confident.

[DH1875]

Don't care, 6th or 7th, both P to me. This top 6 split just adds to the myth that finishing 6th is good when it's not.
Reckon we've a good chance of getting to Hampden though.

[norhfc]

Yes, pleased with McGinn, Docherty and McNulty, think they are enough to get us over the line into 6th.
Need a rebuild in the summer tho, our expectations must be europe and long cup runs.

[Pretty Boy]

Not confident but I think we'll just about scrape in.

[PeeJay]

Not confident at all, but if do we make it, we will probably finish bottom of the top 6 - this season is not going well either way

[KingPat4]

Yes. 100%

[MWHIBBIES]

Without doubt. Hopefully worth it financially because id probably prefer 5 easy games Vs the bottom 6 than 5 losses Vs the top 6 to finish the season.

[Northernhibee]

I’m looking at St Johnstone. 3pts begins with a game in hand.

[wookie70]

We should be favourites to finish In the top six bit I wouldn't say I'm confident. We only seem to be able to play well for 45 minutes of each game

[danhibees1875]

Confident? No.

It's a pretty tight league and we could quite easily see ourselves going up or down with a run of games.

11 points isn't huge. We're 11 off 3rd and 11 off 11th. I think we're capable of beating any of the teams above us to 3rd, and capable of losing to any of the ones below us too!

We have a key run of league fixtures coming up to the derby: Ross co, Killie (a), Livi, then Hearts. If we can get a good points tally there then I think we could be right back in the hunt for Europe - certainly more securely in the top 6.

[Diclonius]

We will finish sixth.

[The Tubs]

I think we’ll be fifth by the end of February.

That might be worth finishing in the lower half for if it meant we were able to relegate them, but personally I can easily live without another derby and I'd rather be cruising serenely out of their reach in the top six while they battle for top flight survival.

[Bangkok Hibby]

Top 6 probably and the extra revenue from playing the others in top 6 can only help. I like Jack Ross and do believe that RG will fund a decent summer window. Roll on next season.

[Captain Trips]

Totally

[A Hi-Bee]

30 points from 25 games is no good going at all, it is close to almost pish, we need to get going and start winning games.

[Since452]

I think we will but I'm not confident if that makes sense

Perfect sense, as that is exactly how I see it.

50 plus years following Hibs have eventually taught me not to be confident, we've snatched a draw from the jaws of comfortable victory too often

I'm mildly optimistic about the forthcoming cup tie.

I’m hoping Docherty will ensure our top 6. Far too many easy points dropped this season. McGinn and Docherty will hopefully change that.

[WeeRussell]

Yes to top 6. Probably not higher than 6th.

Therefore I'm pretty confident we'll finish 6th I suppose

[WhileTheChief..]

6th comfortably but hoping we can get above Livvi.

Not asking for too much is it?
