In my opinion we'll finish 11th, just above Caley and no more. Where are we going to pick up points in the last three games? Despite having decent enough players in most positions (with the exception of CB and the wings), we've looked the worst team in the division for a long time now. We've just been lucky that Caley's form has been dire too. The way I see it;
- Dundee have a new manager and he's getting the players they have, who are of a decent standard for our league, to play. They're not conceding too many and the have a dangerous couple of strikers. They'll beat us on the last day regardless.
- Motherwell can't defend but they can score goals, they're obviously our best hope of getting above and avoiding 11th. But I think they'll draw with us at NDP.
- We're absolute garbage at the back, and don't look a threat at all going forward. Imrie has been 'off form' (to put it politely) all season. Bingham is an utter imposter wherever he plays, and Sarris and Devlin are not a partnership. Sarris in particular is absolutely dire, no pace, no positional sense and no ability on the ball. Why is he playing?
We need maybe two wins, maybe a win and a draw. Where are we going to get them?! I've sat this season at almost every game and thought things would turn out ok, that we've got a decent squad and can't continue to play as poorly over a whole season. I've been quite positive about it, despite my belief that MC hasn't improved in any way since the Thistle game last season. But it's now got exactly like the final BR season, all of a sudden it dawns on you that in reality this team are on a downward spiral, and it's all just a bit disappointing.
So if we're lucky, and Caley go back to their previous form (and they were rubbish on Saturday, but our defence made them look good going forward), we'll be 11th. A playoff against Falkirk, Dundee Utd or Morton? Total lottery.
