Eight points more with 2 fewer games played and GD improved by 15 with 2 games fewer played. If this were last year we would have been running away with it. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,405 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Like last year, we have got ourselves into a title winning position at the break. What happened last year should act as a warning to us that it only gets tougher the closer you get to the finish, and the time to starta run of victories is now. Our league fixtures up to the split are; St Mirren H Hearts A Ross County H Dolly H Hibs H Killie A Livvy H St Johnstone A Hamilton H Ross Cty A Bheasts H St Mirren A Motherwell H With one game still to be rearranged (I think its St Johnstone at home) Hearts away, Dolly & Bheasts at home apart (all traditionally difficult games), these SHOULD all be fairly straightforward victories, but only IF we avoid the complacency and loss of form to several players that befell us last January-March and ruined our season at the same time that the bheasts managed to kick on and put a run of victories together. We have managed to put in a much improved first half of the season, but so did our title rivals, so who hits the ground running on the resumption will go a long way to deciding the outcome of the title. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabiDuck 89 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The good news is I don't see much likelihood of either side dropping points until the end of season the way it's going. If that holds then it's down to the 2 remaining OF matches. If we can win one of those we should be champions... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaspard 562 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Further to OP, after 19 games we are actually 12 points better off than at the same point in 18/19 (games played rather than time of year) and our points tally after playing every other team for the first time this season is 9 points better than last season. We are 3 games from playing each other team twice, at that point last year we had gained 42 points, so if we win our games against Ross Co, St Johnstone and St Mirren we will be 17 points improved. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be alot better off than we were last year or they would be running away with it. Because they're a lot better off than they were last year too. If they hadn't improved we would be running away with it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baillie1872 13 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 2 games less, improved goal difference of +15 and I have to say a better squad. It's looking good for 55. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree no unfit players joining the squad and being played immediately. A cup game to dust off the cobwebs before getting into league action. Much better position that last year and the bheasts have 7 out of 9 of their next games away from home. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
