brainier Posted February 13, 2024 Report Share Posted February 13, 2024 Rough night for Dean Cornelius, playing all 90 minutes in a 9-2 drubbing for his Harrogate side at Mansfield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzyB Posted February 17, 2024 Report Share Posted February 17, 2024 I watched a bit of Raith vs Dundee Utd last night. Really hope we avoid the playoff spot as both looked quick and decent. Moult got a goal and Watt missed a sitter inside the first couple of minutes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68144329 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why we simply must avoid the playoffs as that would effectively mean straight relegation with the added agony of two games to draw it out.

If we end up in a playoff against Raith Rovers or Dundee United with them having upward momentum then we will lose over two legs, nothing surer.

Quite a bold statement to make when the team currently in 11th have a game in hand over us and we are almost certainly facing back to back defeats. Plus it’s only February, there’s a long way to go yet. With the way we defend and our goalkeeper being in horrific form plus our inability to win football matches it’s seriously naive, imo, to not be worried about us being in the playoffs just now.

In the last 6 games we've taken 10 points. Ross County have taken 1.

I take it you don't actually believe in upward momentum then? At the moment yes we have more of an upward momentum than Ross County but there is a long way to go and things can change quickly. In terms of the playoff, if we finish 11th then our momentum would be downward, or so you’d think, whereas the Championship side’s momentum would be the opposite*. I’d much rather we just avoided the playoffs altogether. *And yes, I do remember that the last time we were in the playoffs we beat the Championship side 6-1 over two legs, I’m not likely to forget it. But unfortunately none of the sides we could potentially meet in a playoff this year are managed by Stuart McCall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no guarantee whichever Championship side emerges from the play-offs will have much upward momentum. They could easily finish the league season poorly and struggle through, as Rangers did, and everyone knows the whole concept is deliberately loaded against the Championship side. Yeah, there is a distance to go, but there's not a lot of evidence to suggest County will build a head of steam. Our defensive record may be horrific but they've 'bettered' that with a game to spare, and they'd kill for some of those useless draws we've been steadily picking up. Realistically, even that won't be enough - they need to rack up some wins, something half the league have struggled badly with this season. The one area of concern I have is Don Cowie, who surely can't be worse than Adams, although he is saddled with the players the great man left behind. Be very interesting to see if he can get a positive result at Dens today. So, nothing's over, but I'd be a helluva lot more concerned about the top of the Championship if I was a County fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purestate Posted February 17, 2024 Report Share Posted February 17, 2024 It’s a reasonable statement that we would likely struggle against Dundee Utd and probably Raith if games were played now. And if we were to finish in 11th it would surely mean that we were on an absymal run so whoever the Championship side is would likely have a chance. It’s just far more unlikely that all the teams immediately below and around us are ALL going to suddenly up their games enough that ALL of them overtake us now. Maybe mods could start a optimists/happy clappers vs pessimists/doomsquad week by week “playoff” debate 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the doomsquad probably wouldn't see the point in turning up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
