faddythedaddy Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Take that, 6 points from first two games a must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Not worked out well for me personally. Missing the County game as in Vegas on the 2nd of May for the boxing.... Good chance for us tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilmour Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Motherwell will kick-off their post split fixtures with a Lanarkshire derby against Hamilton Accies at New Douglas Park. That game will go ahead on Friday 24th April live on BT Sport (7.45pm KO). Ian Baraclough’s side will then face Ross County at home on Saturday 2nd May (3pm KO) then Kilmarnock at home on Friday 8th May (7.45pm KO), again live on BT Sport. The Steelmen will then travel to St Mirren on Saturday 16th May (3pm KO) before finishing the season with Partick Thistle at home on Saturday 23rd May (although this game may be changed to Friday 22nd depending on the outcome of results over the next few weeks).

Ya Bezzer! Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I would have liked County at home first but not bad overall. We need to go to Douglas Park first though and that is a must win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleeastdave Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Surely we are capable of 15 points from the post fixtures, I wonder why Partick Thistle is the last game!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Can't grumble at that. Although NDP doesn't have many happy memories. If there's something to play for on last day of season, surely they won't be able to switch us to the Friday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 If there's something to play for on last day of season, surely they won't be able to switch us to the Friday? Horrible feeling is that is EXACTLY what they want to happen and they are hoping for a potential 3-way decider. Our game on BT1..Killie v County on BT2 or something like that. Absolute sham if thats the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxywell Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 It's not the worst set of fixtures we could've had but we are now in a position where 1 bad result means it's the playoffs.Hamilton away is a must win and given our recent record there I don't see how anyone can be confident that we will win no matter how sh1te they are at the moment.

Gamst Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 happy with the fixtures, if we can get the first two wins under our belt the momentum should carry on through to the last two home games and a youthful ( and dejected) st mirren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Up For It! Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 The 2nd my birthday....and 3pts against County will make it a really special day. Still think we can win all these games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxywell Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Our best winning run this season is 3 games, 2 of which were against the 2 least on form sides in the league, not sure how anyone can think we're now going to win 5 in a row just because we have to.

1991 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I would think this is a great time for club to try and sell a 3 match package like the flexi ticket idea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Delighted with the two matches on BT Sport. Means I can get to see them. Also hoping to make it back for the last game of the season against Thistle!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 12 points from the final 5 games will be enough to avoid the play-off, IMO. I think one of County/Thistle/Killie will crash and get 4 points or less in the games remaining. Whether we are able to get those 12 points, is up for debate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross County are on fire. No way they will just get 4 points! I can maybe see Accies and St Mirren geting feck all, but as for the other clubs mentioned I think they will all be talking points of each other.

ONeils40yarder Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Got to win the 1st 3 matches, to put pressure on the teams above. Killie have St Mirren and Accies as their 1st two games, which could see them get the points they need for safety Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yassin Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Access consigning us to the Playoffs would be a bitch to take, I think we'll beat them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately that's who we need to see winning their games ( except against us of course ) unlikely that we will catch accies so they might as well beat some of the teams above us. unlikely that St Mirren wil catch us so hope they also beat teams above us.

Killie have St Mirren and Accies as their 1st two games, which could see them get the points they need for safety Killie will be going into the st mirren game with 4 defeats in row (providing Celtic beat them tonight) and St Mirren even though highly improbable are still trying to catch us, and surely St Mirren have to score at some point, this could be a wee glimmer of hope for us!

Donaldo87 Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Hopefully St Mirren go through that phase that teams on the brink often do and win a couple of games where defeat means relegation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dezz Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 Agree that the first 3 matches are must wins to put the pressure on the teams above us, and we should be beating a (probably) youthful, already relegated St Mirren side who can't win at home. We need to set the tone with a good win over accies though which is easier said than done. I also think Partick will be safe and have nothing to play for come the last game of the season so that could also work in our favour. County play Partick and us in their first two games so if they are going to drop points I think it will be here. Do people see it as an advantage or dis-advantage that we play 2 Friday night games? We will either increase the nerves of the teams above us with a win before they play on the Saturday..or they'll go into their games knowing a win will take them further from us!

We will either increase the nerves of the teams above us with a win before they play on the Saturday..or they'll go into their games knowing a win will take them further from us! I'm looking no further than Accies but if dealt with properly then the fact we are in action on the Friday night can only be a good thing for me. Get three points in the bag and see how the rest deal with it on the Saturday. The second Friday, we'll need to see how the land lies around that point before we know how significant it is playing a day early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I know some folk don't like it, but I don't mind friday night football. I seem to have enjoyed it when I have attended. If we can get points on the board early it puts a wee bit of pressure on others. Agree 1 game at a time though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
