Twists and turns.

Both teams should be resting players now. Play offs is all that matters

Play offs are favouring the prem team due to fatigue so chance now that championship positions are sorted to gain some advantage

As things stand, the Shed need one more point to secure 2nd place. Both ICT and Ayr Shed could match us on points if they win their remaining games and we lose ours. Both have better goal differences. Get a point today and 2nd place is guaranteed. We can then relax and prepare for the play offs.

I think they will injure as many of our key players as possible. I would be putting out players in need of game time but protecting them ( sub) if implied tactics unfold.

Seeing the reality of the situation, ICT could rest players and play fringe players, etc. They will not go out to deliberately lose the game, but may decide to give some fringe players game time. Remember they will have potentially 6 play off ties at the end of the normal league season. They will want to prepare for that. How they do that is up to them. Is finishing 3rd rather than fourtrh a big deal to them? Basically that is all that remains of the normal league season to them. What is more important to them, the unrealistic challenge of catching United for 2nd place, finishing 3rd, or preparing for the play offs?

Depending upon today's result, Rossco will soon begin to prepare for their pre-season games.

Not the point I was making, understandable if they make changes and rest players. Point is will that 11 go out to deliberately lose in an attempt to alter the mindset of Robbie & the players for the upcoming potential games v us?

I certainly don't.

Only favours the premiership team if you finish 3rd or 4th. So let's just make sure we finish 2nd.

Honestly there is no danger that we won’t be second now.

9 pts gap with 3 matches. 1 pt for us and any draw for them

Both of them will be resting players as 3rd / 4th makes little difference

It’s more important now to rest and prepare, avoid suspensions and injuries

Considering the Shed's recent history, it would be foolish to take anything for granted. We can secure 2nd place with at least a draw today. That has to be our target. We might only need to keep that focus for less than two hours. Then we can
relax a little.

Nae twists n turns across the road just DOON😂

Well that is the top of the league set with only the first playoff advantage to be decided.

The bottom still has a bit to go with us having a hand in that next week with Partick requiring a win in either of their double header v Ayr. hard one to call!

Don't agree with this tbh. We are currently on a good run of form & need to keep the momentum going. They'll have a 10 day break between our last game & our playoff semi final. That's enough of a break imo.

My thoughts exactly. Keep winning games.
