Should we be ignoring Motherwell. They've won two games on the bounce until they were unfairly treated against Aberdeen. They have to play both Dundee and Hibs and if they win both, they will be on the same points as us. Obviously, we have home to St Johnstone, whilst they have home to St. Mirren, but it might come down to goal difference.

Dundee/Rangers rearranged for April 10th, they'll have their final game v Aberdeen (away) 3 days later. Big advantage for us.

Confident we’ll get at least sixth spot (nothing to celebrate I know) confidence is in way were playing just now really enjoying some of the football we’re playing maybe even scramble a European spot somehow ,let’s get right behind the team and hopefully a good end to the season ,and then we hopefully with the Bill Foley investment in the playing side have a successful 2024/25 season canny wait ggtth

If Monty does not get top 6, he should go. I think however the board's pride in their own man after the LJ disaster would prevent that from happening.

3 games until the split this is how I see it going.
Rangers away - Battered...can't see anything else happening. If we can keep it respectable fair enough.
St Johnstone - Home - Narrow win, Potter will make it difficult as you know he will but think we should have enough.
Motherwell away - Draw
4 points...
I think Dundee will get 6points from Thier remaining 4 games so looks like it may come down to goal difference Which should see just scrape into the top 6 imo

It’s a sad reflection on the season and on the fortunes of our once great club that we are debating whether we can get in to the top six places in Scottish football. Unfortunately, that’s the reality we have come to and that’s not just over a short period.
Going forward from here, I sincerely hope our future threads are debated on how far we are going in Europe. Or how did we have to settle for third.
When the very small version of me started going to ER in the sixties, my older cousin, who took us, and the punters round about, were still waxing lyrical about The Famous Five and Joe Baker having left too soon. Or how was it possible that these players had not brought the cup back to ER.
Then we had the, all too short period, when the tactical genius that was Eddie Turnbull took Willie McFarlane’s side, added two players and we reached some to dizzy heights of expectation. After that we have had lots of failure but brief moments of joy to keep us coming back.
How did we get to the stage of being content scraping in to the top six? Our club season tickets promotion this year is all about generations. It’s TIME Hibs, to have a generation of consistent and prolonged success. This season is already a failure. Let it be the last for a long time.

Every manager we have is under massive pressure these days. A manager who finished third got the bullet a few months later. A manager who finished fifth got the bullet a few months later.
I’d also disagree that the season is a failure……..it’s not at that stage quite yet. We still have an opportunity to qualify for Europe via the league which would represent some form of success in the end.

Something to aim for is not playing the league cup group stages so we need at least 5th to achieve that

season 56/57 - 9th
season 57/58 - 9th
season 58/59 - 10th
season 59/60 - 7th
season 60/61 - 8th
season 61/62 - 8th
season 62/63 - 16th !!!!!
season 63/64 - 10th
season 64/65 - 4th (YAYYYY TOP 6 !!!!)
season 65/66 - 6th
season 66/67 - 5th
season 67/68 - 3rd (Now we are motoring)
season 68/69 - 12th (ohhh pants)
So during the 13 years between 1956 and 1969 we acheived top 6 (in an easier league with 18 teams in it and only having to play the best teams twice) on just 4 occasions.
I love the history of our club and while I don't personally remember the Famous 5 or even Turnbulls tornadoes as I didn't start going to matches till the early 80's, I very much respect their legacy and have humbly asked for both Pat Stanton and Lawrie Reilly's autograph as a grown man. However our "Once Great Club" has always had long period of struggling to be consistently a top four side. As you well know, almost every decade since has seen that same inconsistency.
when you look at our record in the 1960's.. maybe our last 6 seasons of 5th, 8th, 3rd, 7th, 5th, 4th isn't quite as bad as you are making out.
I want us to be battling for third every year. You want us to be battling for third every year.. but apart from a few glorious years in the late 1940's and 1950's (yes that's 70+ years ago) and then a much shorter period at the start of the 1970's (just the 50 years ago) we have never managed to do that.
If the modern Hibs ever really does manage to put together a consistant run of being a top 4 side for even 5 years on the trot, it will be the most consistent our beloved team has been for 50 years.Last edited by worcesterhibby; 25-03-2024 at 08:10 PM.

I was giving my (nonprofessional) opinion but I do think I made my point clear
St midden could end up in bottom 6
