Some of those teams have a more difficult final game than us
I think we shoul put enough past Stirling to get through

This is the order of 2nd placed teams as it stands, according to Flashscore:
https://www.flashscore.co.uk/football/scotland/league-cup/standings/#/4lxMMct4/table/overall
I tried to copy the table and paste but the format gets all knocked to pot.
1 Ross Coonty 7 pts GD 9
2 Buddies 7 pts GD 7
3 Cove 7 pts GD 4
4 ICT 6 pts GD 5
5 Diamonds 6pts GD 4
6 East Fife 6 pts GD 3
7= The Ton 6 pts GD 2
7= Pars 6 pts GD 2
Airdrie have only played 2, all others played 3
Some relevant fixtures: Montrose v Airdrie today (Wed). Airdrie v Alloa on Saturday.
Airdrie must drop at least 3 points.
Ross County v Partick. RC must drop at least a point.
St Mirren v Ayr. Saints must drop at least a point.
Queen`s Park v Cove. Cove must drop at least a point.
Hope I`ve got it right. Somebody else can check and give more detail?

I’m not too fussed if we qualify or not as long as we win Saturday.
It was always going to be tough. I said beforehand if we won 3 of the 4 I’d be happy and we look on course to do that. Going to Tynecastle was always going to be rough.
Cup runs are nice and all but promotion to the top level is the main aim.

I initially thought it looked really unlikely just looking at the tables, but had a closer look along with fixtures later.
If we were to win by three, that would put us on nine points and plus five, (9/+5).
Group A
Falkirk (8/+9) v Spartans
Queens Park v Cove (7/+4)
Assume Falkirk win the group, we`d need Queen`s Park to take something.
Group B
Ross Co (7/+9) v Partick (9/+7)
Need Partick to win/extra point draw or a comfortable home win.
Group C
Assume Airdrie beat Montrose tonight
Airdrie (9/+>4) v Alloa (9/+3)
Either team to win.
Group D
St Mirren (7/+7) v Ayr (9/+12)
Likely beyond us, unless Ayr win/winning draw.
Group F
Rovers v Inverness (6/+5)
St Johnstone (9/+5) v Elgin
Rovers to take something.
Group G
Motherwell have won the group
Morton (6/+2) v Clyde (6/+1)
Winners to not win by more than us.
Group H
Kilmarnock (7/+3) v East Fife (6/+3)
Livingston (6/+2) v Kelty
Assuming Killie beat East Fife to win the group we need Livingston to not win by more than us.
Groups A, B and D are the biggest challenge. We do our thing and if just one of them goes our way we`re in with a shout. All things considered, I`m not that hopeful. I`ll be happy with a win and a good performance.

All they can do is go out and try to put a few goals past Stirling, can`t do anything about the other groups and how they`ve played out. Been pleasantly surprised in the games so far, fought well against hearts, completely dominated Dumbarton and were solid enough last night even with the lack of bodies up front.

Really not a fan of this format and would prefer it’s just a straight knockout.
You have teams in groups playing each other differently e.g. we got the game at Tynecastle where another team would’ve had them at home.
With no real disrespect intended but there isn’t a depth of quality across the Scottish leagues so with the right team in your group, a walloping is on the cards and you’re up against it from the get go.

A potentially interesting scenario arises in Group C should Airdrie win tonight. As Parsfan points out Airdrie and Alloa are then both on 9 points. They could therefore play out a shameful 0 - 0 at the weekend, ensuring both teams qualify from the group.
Extremely unlikely we can qualify, gonna miss out on goal difference I`d say.

As mentioned there are a variety of results which aren’t too unlikely which would give us a chance of qualifying.
What I do find completely unfair is that the Ayr v St Mirren match is played on Sunday whereas all of the other final group games are 3pm on Saturday.
With Ayr on 9 points from 3 games and a goal difference of 12 they look odds on to qualify. St Mirren are on 7 points with a GD of 7, so know that a win or ‘winning’ draw is needed. They will however have the benefit of knowing exactly what is needed before kick off, which is a completely unfair situation.

Agree with this. I`m not a fan of the format either. Maybe just because it seems to disadvantage us because we`re not a premier league team but would like to qualify. 😂
It`s not often though you see a group stage competition where a team will go out having won 3 out of 4 games (here), or 2 out of 3 (world cup/euros - 6 points), or 4 out of 6 games (champions league - 12 points). It does happen but seems far less frequent than this competition?
It would be better if the top two went through or there was a playoff of some kind.

It would be fine if top 2 from the group went through. It is bizarre you can win 3/4 and still go out. Admittedly though it does encourage teams to score a lot of goals to try and be one of the best second placed teams. I’m sure we will go all out to score as many as possible on Saturday.

I may have dreamed this, but did we not have a similar set up some years ago, only for it to be abandoned perhaps because many of the games were completely one-sided?
During the 60s, every team took part in the League Cup from the start. There were 8 groups of 4 teams and 1 of the bottom 5 in Div 2 the previous season (Section 9). Sections 1 - 4 were composed of Div 1 teams, sections 5 - 8 Div 2 + newly promoted teams. Section 9 then played off (and lost) to the winner of another Div 2 Section before the quarter finals in which sections 1 - 4 were seeded. Teams played home and away in every round, including the group phase.
Not your average Sunday League player.

Folk need to stop with the "diddy cup" patter, it`s a massive opportunity for clubs at our level, both financially and on the park. Spartans pulling in £166k from just one run last season at our expense. That kind of money can make a difference to a club like ours in terms of updating facilities, the wage budget, recouping other cost ie the pitch.
Spartans made the following from last season’s run:
Group winners – £36,000
Round of 16 (win) – not separately listed but gets them to QF
Quarter-final (losing) – £100,000
Quarter-final TV fee – £30,000
So just from prize money and TV fees alone, Spartans pocketed £166,000. That’s absolutely mental at this level.
We made a total mess of it last year when the group was more than manageable. It wasn’t just a missed chance on the park, it was a massive financial own goal too. That’s the difference between standing still and kicking on.
And let’s be honest – we’ve not lifted anything outside of League 1 since 1968. Can we really afford to be turning our noses up at silverware of any kind? Get through the groups, get a glamour tie, maybe even get on the telly. You saw the buzz around the Aberdeen game.
It’s time we started taking it seriously.

the prize money is done by when you go out of the competition, the 36k was for sides who finished 2nd in the group and went out. they got 100k as a losing quarter final side, still a decent sum.

Bit harsh I’d say. We were never likely to get anything at Tynecastle, not the end of the world losing there, especially when three of the goals were self inflicted. Still frustrating, but not exactly a shock.
Fact is, we’ve won the rest and that’s what you’d have hoped for before a ball was kicked. Last season we couldn’t even beat lower league opposition at home, so there’s definitely progress. Win your home games, take care of the lower league sides, and you’ve given yourself a decent chance. That’s all you can ask at this stage. Hopefully although unlikely kane isn`t out for too long and we move onto the league.

Exactly . We really only have ourselves to blame . There were definitely another couple of goals for the taking in the last half hour v Dumbarton , and had we started at a higher tempo today , I`m sure we`d have scored earlier and probably gone on to win by 3 or 4 .
Still a glimmer of hope , but we should`ve had it done today .

Just for the sake of completeness, there is another route to the next round, if rather unlikely.
We`d go above Ayr on goal difference and claim the final spot in the next round if St Mirren were to win by nine.
Back to reality, Ayr have a seeded place in the draw at stake, so it`s not as if they`re going into it with nothing to play for. Don`t give up hope yet.

Worth remembering that last season we LOST to the likes of Forfar! I think we only won one game if I`m remembering correctly.

It`s not set in stone that St Mirren win tomorrow. I`m hopeful that Ayr will sneak a draw.
All final round games should be played at the same time in my opinion.
Some teams had played all their games by Tuesday night.That`s the issue with groups of 5 teams

They should just make it one big league like Europe. The games are already set up in the same way.

All that we could ask for pre kick off was a chance - we have done that. Now just got to hope it goes our way.
By the way, its a disgrace that theres a game being played later for TV - if anything it should’ve been today at 12:30 at worst. Now they COULD play it out so both go through. Not saying they will.

Not really, had we had more intensity first half and won 4-0 which was more than achievable, we’d be sitting qualified right now.

We only needed 1 more goal and that was us through.

Yes, but results also went our way in certain other games - had Airdrie and Alloa drawn we were out.

I, too, like Turps` suggestion that it be one big league.

Impressive result for Partick Thistle yesterday, whilst against one of the promotion favourites!

Ayr playing five at the back, benching both Oakley and Thomas.
