Think we need to go into the split with an absolute minimum 8 point gap, which is very much doable when you compare our run-ins. I think we will end up going in 11 points clear, have faith in this squad and Jack Ross. We have nothing to lose and players look up for it.

Not so long ago there were folk worried that Livi were going to go above us . Hibs have put themselves in pole position for third place but we are only 4 points ahead of Aberdeen.Let’s ensure we win the next two home games and take it from there.I feel confident we can clinch third but there is a long way to go and as a Hibs fan I take nothing for granted.

Even now, I still don’t think it’s a really good Hibs team. But I think it’s better than most of the league. I never thought we’d get caught in fourth. I now don’t think we’ll get caught in third.

Hibs don’t win cups very often so the semi finals hurt. But Hibs winning a cup and nobody being there to see it and there being no real celebration is a strange thought.

Some folk seem to have an odd idea of how a countdown works...one game at a time for those missing the point
Weirdly exciting times with a team that’s not exactly excited overly often.
Will be quite a turnaround if Aberdeen lose on Wed and are 4 behind with us having the game in hand...they always seem to be in front with extra games to be played.
That in itself is a warning though, things can change relatively quickly.
Anyway I’m looking forward to the count down being updated on Wed after Celtic pap Aberdeen by 3 or 4...

Bugger looking behind us, I'm wondering what needs to happen for us to catch Celtic.
55% of their remaining games are against Aberdeen, Rangers and us.

In my eyes that's a lot better than a league cup, and also a lot more impressive considering we would have won it without playing Celtic rangers hearts or Aberdeen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if we win our remaining games before the split, even if the County game takes place after, are we not guaranteed at least 4th spot?

Finishing 3rd should be realistic every season for Hibs. Going to the next level of splitting the OF will be tough but it is certainly possible if the fans and club share that ambition. Not sure we believe enough at present but with the right leadership the sky is the limit for Hibs.

it's weird how (assuming either the OF or us win the cup) 3rd place would probably give us a better hand next season in europe than coming 2nd, as assuming (reasonably) that we'd get papped out the champions league, we'd have two rounds of the Europa league to navigate before the groups - if we lost the first of these, we'd go into the playoff for the europa conference, so wouldn't be guaranteed group stage football.

If we win all of our pre-split games (which will include Livingston) then we'll be on 64 points but Livingston could still get to 66 points assuming they win every other pre-split game except against us.
Realistically though if we win our next 5 games we'll finish 3rd, not just 4th.

If we finish third, do folk think that more clubs down south will be looking at our players and how much higher will be the price tag we are able to attach them be, than if we were a just scrapping top six team?

I’d say right now we have the best manager outwirh Gerrard this Season. Top for me would be SG, JR, JG, DM, CD, Lennon has had a nightmare as has McInnes

Do we not need to still get into a play off first?
Sure that will be against a tough side so maybe jumping ahead with that shout

Its only a few weeks ago that around 40% of the participants wanted the manager sacked according to the "Should Jack Ross stay poll".

We should end 3rd, but that could easily change in 2 games. We were on a terrible run prior to the last 3 games. Aberdeen will pick up at some point I’d imagine.

Thankfully Aberdeen have a tougher run in but at this stage of the season there won't be many easy games
Speaking of Aberdeen, that's FIVE games in a row without a goal now, horrific stat
