Yup, we’ve absolutely no chance of 2nd place so hopefully Celtic pump them.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Seeing as we’re not going to win every single remaining game we’d probably be looking at Celtic having to lose around 5 or 6, maybe even more of their remaining 8 games. It’s not going to happen. We’ll more than likely end up further behind them, never mind closer.

That said, you’re right, no way we will win all of our games, as long as we keep winning though uo to the split I’ll allow my mind to wander as I don’t think it’s impossible Celtic could have a complete disaster under Kennedy.

If they lose to Aberdeen and the Sticky Buns pre-split, and we beat 'Well, all we need to do is match their points haul in the remaining games pre and post split to have the gap at three points going into our post-split match, and on current form I'd fancy us to beat them. Ok our goal difference is way behind their's so we'd need one more match point than them along the way, but that run of results is not impossible and made me think it was worth checking the updated odds on us finishing 2nd.
Sky have us at 14/1. Was hoping for 20s.
Having said all that I'd still settle for 3rd place and the likelihood of guaranteed group football. But shoot for the stars and all that........

I see Hornby possibly our for the rest of the season. Will they try to play a passing game now. Oops, sorry they have sold their best attacking midfielder and the other one is out for the season. Just means they will be even more awful to watch than before.

I reckon we need 11 or twelve points to be certain of third. Certainly got an easier run in with the dons at home to us and Celtic and away to rangers, Livi and Whoever finishes sixth. With Celtic and Dundee utd away and Hamilton at home before the split they will have to improve markedly to pick a lot of points in their last eight games.

I know it’s not the case mathematically but I think another 3 wins will probably do it.

I can't see three wins not being enough. Aberdeen would need to win five from their last eight (or four plus a few draws) and they still have to play Celtic twice as well as Rangers after the split. If we win three they would need to beat us and pretty much win all the other non Celtic/Rangers games to turn it around. While their form will probably pick up a bit, I can't see them going on that kind of run.

Quite an interesting thread.
For those that are saying we are only 3rd because the league is poor (possibly me at some point), probably worth noting that Aberdeen are 3 points better off now than they were this time last season.
We are 15 points better off than the same stage last season.

The rest of the league is fairly strong, Aberdeen and ourselves, and then the rest who all have some very good players in their squads. There’s as much quality in the league this season than I can remember for some time.

All clubs have injuries. Aberdeen have had it to good for a number of years now. We missed Boyle and porteous for large parts under hecky etc.

I'd have more sympathy with Accies or the like with their smaller squad bemoaning injuries.

When Aberdeen were finishing 2nd or 3rd, we were pish and i certainly wanted to finish as high as they were. It has become trendy to downplay our achievements, as we never get anything right, it's always because someone else failed.

I don't think for a minute Aberdeen should get to use injuries as an excuse, nor should Hibs in the past. Aberdeen have had problems this season granted but we've missed key players too this season. We're where we are as Ross and co managed to work out how to win l games, or at least get draws, while he had our injury problems. Yes we lost a few that we might not have but that's going to be the same for other clubs.
Only the teams operating on an absolute shoe string get to use the injury to key players and to be honest, it's never clubs like Accies you see talking about that, it's usually the clubs at the top of the table.
We're where we are out of merit. Aberdeen still have plenty good players, they just aren't playing well. For me the injury chat is just a smoke screen for their manager not adapting.
