Chris Kane is third top goalscorer in our league (so I have read.)
And, if we can continue to get about a point a game, that`s gonna make it mighty hard for Airdrie to catch us. We`d end up with something like 35 points, and to catch us on that, they`d have to win five of their eight remaining matches and score a few barrowloads.
So I reckon we`re still very much in the driving seat for ninth. Yippy Ki yay!

I don’t see us winning a playoff. To stay up I think we need 8th.

I can understand your apprehension, N10Y. I don`t think the Pars have ever negotiated the playoffs successfully. Luckily, chance has no memory, and there`s a first time for everything. 🙂
Still, like you, I hope we can finish higher than 9th and avoid them altogether. In these playoffs, the pressure is all on the team finishing 9th.

We won’t pick up a point a game, we have 4 away games left and have only won 1 and drew 2 of the previous 14.
We’ll be lucky to pick up any points on the road for the remainder of the season.
The only home game I think we’ll win is Hamilton.
Not optimistic about Livi, Airdrie or Partick coming to East End.
My fear and gut feeling is we are going to end up bottom.

Our home record is W6 D4 L4. Believe it or not Airdrie have a worse away record than us. It`s W0 D3 L11 but if you point that out you`ll be a `happy clapper`!

I know folk keep talking about form etc….and if that’s how they want to see things that’s fine.
I look at how teams are playing and Airdrie have played 9 games this year and scored in 8 of them and most of the games they score more than 1 and have plenty shots.
We on the other hand in 9 games since the turn of the year have also played 9 and scored in 3 of them. We also don’t create chances.
Thats the reason behind MY lack of confidence going into these last few games.

I think the point is that we are not bad, results wise, at EEP. And Airdrie, results wise, are very bad away from home.
That`s all based on how both teams are playing - over the course of the season and in recent times.
If someone wants to argue that we could lose all 4 away games remaining, I don`t think there is much in the way of evidence to say that`s unrealistic.
We could lose every game and finish last. It is possible. However, if you are that pessimistic, supporting the Pars probably isn`t that good for you.

is no way we should toiling against all
these run of the mill teams in our league,

I must admit, I have never experienced this yet 😂, but fully expect much better than the insipid nonsense we had during the festive period that I felt was McPake’s final nail in his coffin at EEP.

I’ve been a Pars fan for around 30 odd years and usually I’m optimistic but recently my optimism his began to disappear with every week.
Obviously I’d want us to stay up but there is little evidence from what we’ve seen that it’s possible.
We shouldn’t have to be hoping for Airdrie to drop points and not catch us but that’s where we are.

Airdrie hadn’t won a game since the start of the season and then turned us over with ease. Airdrie not won away all season, on paper there best chance to get that away win will be at east end.
One thing is for sure, if the opposition are ever in need of a result to end a bad run the pars will often give them it.

Yes Im aware that’s how football works.
I was referring to the fact that we shouldn’t solely be relying on Airdrie not winning for us to stay up, we should be going out to win games and get ourselves out of this mess.

That`s a different question altogether. You seemed to be suggesting the team were leaving their fate to be decided by others without trying to do anything about it themselves. If I thought that was the case I`d have given up ages ago.

More possibly good news, if our season`s stats have any bearing on the run-in:
Apologies to anyone who`s done this afore, but I just wanted to see for masel.
Our points won have increased through first, second and third quarters: 6,9,12.
Points won by MT compared to J Mc in same six games (1st/3rd quarter): 8 v 5.
We have eight games to play. Points won in same games (2nd quarter): 9.
Assessment:
Each of those stats is positive, whether that tells us anything about the run-in is debatable.

I don`t understand why people shouldn`t be challenged on their opinions, especially when they`re not supported by the facts.
People are always telling me I`m a `happy clapper` so they must have come to some conclusion as to what I think, rightly or wrongly.
The whole point about a forum is to hear different points of view and challenge them. I think that`s quite healthy not `nauseating`. Some folk just seem to want this to be an echo chamber rather than a debating chamber.

I have a strong and difficult memory of folk trying to use facts to undermine those who wanted to expose the financial mismanagement under Masterton.
They told us that cup finals were all that mattered and that the success we experienced under wee Gav were all that mattered.
Sometimes one person`s facts are another person`s red flags.
At the beginning of that disaster we were asked to ignore the obvious trend and were encouraged to pay attention to the fact that we had lost a couple of finals.
We were encouraged to ignore the fact that our existence was being gambled on the continuation of a property bubble, and anybody who questioned the wisdom of this path was piled onto.
It`s fairly trivial to conjure facts to support any point of view if you are so motivated, but conjured facts are impotent in the face of unfolding reality.

I`d be surprised if wee eck and da no 1 have ever met, never mind being "mates." It`s only natural that we foster an affinity for posters who share our opinions and become irritated by others who (repeatedly) oppose them.
My biggest gripe is with posters who are consistently negative. It`s actually worse when they have a point because you can`t really call them out for it. 😮💨 Any poster who tries to remain positive when results and performances are poor is often referred to as a "happy clapper." That is condescending and insulting patter.
Ironically, most of us are optimistic when it comes to the Pars. We can be really angry after a poor performance, yet we invariably turn up for the next game, having convinced ourselves we can get back to winning ways.
