Yes indeed. If Aberdeen win on Tuesday night the last game of the season is meaningless. If Utd win on Tuesday night then the pressure is on us to at least get a point from our last 2 games. If it's a draw on Tuesday night then regardless of our result against inverness last game of the season is a battle for second place. The result against inverness would decide which team can win second palce with a draw at pittodrie

Could be a very entertaining ( sounds better than nerve racking ) game. We can't defend very well so I would assume we will line up to attack them and hopefully score more than they do ! It could be a high scoring affair.

Go with the heart every time. Good guys to win by 2. Ohh!! just remember, when you adopt this philosphy, it means not betting any money on the good guys.

We have also already won more games than we did last season so not all doom and gloom. I think we have scored 3 or more in 8 games. I think your emotion is clouding the facts.

I would say we have had a successful league campaign if we finish in the top four. Obviously our cup performances were lacking to say the least and obviously not successful. Whilst there are many problems to be addressed the staff and palyers do deserve some credit if they achieve our highest ever points total. Perhaps part of the problem in the divergance of opinion is that our performances have been at extremem ends of the spectrum this year.

Somtimes you have teams that just have your number. This season we are just Utd's bitches. Look at Aberdeen, I think they didn't beat hearts at all in 3 games, is that right? So all in all embarrasing, yes, but 1 point from the last 2 games is one more than I thought we might have.

Yep, I had forgot about those incidents. I recall now the commentators even wondering in disbelief why the ref did not give a PK..................Ok That's it, we are going to gub them now !!! COYW

I think we will take at least a point but going to predict us winning by one goal. Had a look back at the 0-4 report and our back 4 was Cummins Kerr, McManus and Angol so I am not even taking that result into account. The 3 -1 game at tannadice was more akin to the hibs game the other year when they gubbed us at fir park as everything went wrong for us. That last game at Utd Hutchy gifted the first goal then one of our defenders was mauled prior to the second goal. I think this game wil be more like the first 2-2 game but with the good guys coming out on top this time.

Unfortunately I think we need some additional help over and above the society.it owuld be good if that came from a local source such as the counclil or region but pretty sure that will not happen. Perhaps we need to court an individual willing to at least invest enough in the club to ease financial worries, we certainly don't want to fo down the route of trying to buy a team again. Alternatively, maybe we could ( or have to ) become a feeder team for a more financially well of club, be that in England or abroad. To be honest I don't know what we really have to do although I am sure if we could finally manage to progress in europe and maybe get to group stages the income from that would go a long way to helping. I don't think we need massive amounts of cash to ease the situation but I am not sure how long we can survive with our limited fan base.

That's a great deal!

MJC predicted a defeat so I'm feeling good about this game now

Agree! i think that is what makes it so hard to predict the outcome of each game. We could end up anwywhere between loosing out on europe to playing last game at Pittodrie with 2nd place already won

team selection should be interesting. I can't even guess who will start and how we will match up against them and what the tactics will be. Wil McCall pick the team and then decide what tactics best suit the team? Will he decide on tactics to nullify Utd then pick team to suit or go for tactics to atatck ethem and pick team to suit. Certainly a mind boggler for McCall so hopefully that means Utd wil not be prepared on how to face us? Ok I can pick 6 but who will the other 5 be? Neilsen Reid Hutch McManus Hammell Sutton

I don't care who gets ours, as long as we get at least one more than them

Play the best team we have now to do the job now

I'd say he is good enough to keep.

hard to say really, Celtic may have scored more if ainsworth had come on earlier but as it turned out, not bad day really!

I hear you! I have decided to bury my head in the sand, ignore all negativity and reality for the next 5 games and just be positive and look forward to each game being confident of getting a result. Then I have all summer to recover if it ends up we don't qualify for europe. First thing to look forward to though, is Aberdeen getting beat again on Friday night. That should help feed the self doubt and erode their confidence a bit more. once that starts happening McInnes wil lstart to tinker then they'll just go from bad to worse.

Well! Hello there Stuart!

Any news on who is available? regardless we will gub them!!! C'mon Ye 'Well

I am hoping we keep the core of this team and are able to strengthen it a bit with a couple of shrewd signings so that we can go into europe with some guys that actually know each other............Of course thats hoping that we get there. 5 long games to go !

well 4 out of five games, since they have way better goal difference, but even for them to win 4 out of five i think is beyond them

I think 6 points will be enough to get third place but would rather get second !

Depending on results last game of the season could quite possibly see us starting the game wondering if we will finish 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th I am hoping the last game is to determine 2nd or 3rd.

Agree with both of you. I think there are quite a few on here assuming that we are going to be dropping points all over the place and that Dundee Utd and Aberdeen are going to be racking them up. The way the teams are I think the last 5 rounds of games are very unpredictable. Who knows how celtic are going to see out the season and while I think that St Johnstone and Inverness are not going to finish in the top 4 they could play a significant part in deciding who finshes 2nd 3rd and 4th. The 2 week rest may possibly be a bigger benefit to us than other teams. But regardless, we are by no means out of the race for second and in a good position to finish 3rd. Could we hav ebeen better off? Of course we could but then again every other team could say the same.
