It's certainly going to be an interesting 3 months.
I hope the 12th man plays his part.

We have 14 league games left to play ( excluding play offs ).
If Ayr win their game in hand they would be joint top with County on 42 points - United would be 6 points behind.
We all want United to either win the league or the play offs, but unfortunately I am going to predict the following ( I hope I am proved wrong ).
Ross County to win the league
Ayr beat United in play offs, but get beat by Dundee in play off final.
Raith beat Falkirk in play offs .
New teams next season in Championship will be St Mirren, Arbroath and Raith.
County get promoted, Falkirk get relegated and Ayr remain in Championship.
So, we have 14 games left to turn things around - can Robbie and the new signings pull it off ?
United will be in the mix, but based on recent performances it's going to be a big ask.
Anything is possible.

Gut tells me we will get knocked out the playoffs before the final.
Can't see the players handling the pressure sadly.
Sorry no offence but I can't bring myself to do this.
It doesn't bear thinking about
I think County will win the league.
Regarding the play offs, in order to reach the final, I think we would need to see the January signings gel with what's there PDQ and go on a winning streak the likes of which we have not seen since that time when we had that huge backlog of games in hand and we somehow managed to win them all! I think that Houstie was still manager then, so that shows how long ago that was!
However, if we somehow manage to make the play offs final, I rekon we would have enough momentum in our tank to give us a right good chance to beat whoever finishes 11th in the Premier.
As it stands ATM though, we're a poor side that needs serious rebuilding.

Confidence can have huge effect too. It seems to me the players are lacking this at the moment though.
I predict another play off loss. It doesn't feel like we've made any progress whatsoever over the last three years. A couple of new manager bounces but that's about it. Mediocrity followed by more mediocrity. Neilson will be gone by this time next year I feel. Replaced by ? Feels like a never ending cycle at this point.
