    The 8 Cup finals

    Got our last out of reach game out the way every game now to end of the season should be competitive. Killie have tough games coming up. Need to keep within 3 point going in to split as we should be advantaged having Killie and Ross County as our home games.

    Before the split

    United

    Hibs (H)
    Motherwell (A)
    Livingston (H)

    Ross County

    St Johnstone (A)
    Aberdeen (H)
    Hearts (A)


    Killie

    Aberdeen (A)
    Celtic (H)
    St Mirren (A)

    By the split we’ll have played Kilmarnock, Ross County, AND Motherwell away twice and just once at Home.
    We’re only due 2 home games post-split. County are the same. Kilmarnock should have 3 games at home.

    Put your mortgage on us being away to Kilmarnock post-split.
    (first game after the split would be my bet)

    It really should be Motherwell or County away for a third time, we had to go to Rugby Park three times in our first season back up (covid closed doors season) which should be taken into account

    Yes, the 3 games at Rugby Park in the Micky Mellon season SHOULD be taken into account.
    I’d be surprised if we get to play Kilmarnock at Tannadice again this season though.

    What happened in previous seasons has nothing to do with what happens this season though.

    Up to point they do. When they end up with the unbalanced seasons 20:18 or 18:20 after the split the League take into account whether a team has benefitted or lost out to this compared with the other teams. No reason why it shouldn't work out the same re us going to Killie again.

    We've had a balanced post split home/away ratio over the years, I agree. I don't think the SPFL go into specific club vs club fixtures though.

    Our 5 wins this season, Killie, Ross County, Aberdeen, Hibs (H) and St Johnstone (A). To win the 4 of these play we again would be a nice start.

    Looking at that fixture list to the split with my head, i dont see us getting any points, County 2 points and Killie all 3 at the Midden. Heart says we hit Hibs at the right time again, Butcher does us a favour in the Well game and Livi continue their current run to the end of the season to hand us the 6 points that will save us. So is 15 points enough out of the 24?

    But our big factor is the keeper who not only has a howler up his sleeve, also cannot stop the simplest of chances that end up within his reach.

    Would take some freak result for Killie to win in Paisley.
