“There really is no benefit finishing 3rd or 4th”

Huh?
A play off spot with a chance to go up to the Premiership isn’t a benefit?


Which you get for finishing 4th.


I know. I was quoting xgatespar.

I think 3rd is better because you have the home game 2nd leg, so if you need to come back or if it goes to extra time or penalties - I’d rather that was at EEP with our crowd behind us rather than up at that wind tunnel in Arbroath (or at Starks/Queens Park).

It`s still a playoff regardless of 3rd or 4th. But if we`re caught with group behind then we`ll be in no playoff. Just gives them hope gaining ground. 7 points ahead with 12 available is tough ask though. But doable


I didn’t see this post xgatespar. Apologies. I thought you were referring to not having any advantage finishing in the top four at all.

Only drink I’m partaking in at the moment is Coca Cola. Perhaps a little too much! 😊

Personally think we will finish 3rd nae bother.

Bit of a tricky time just now with the Semi-Final. Even with injuries I think we`ll be fine going into the play-offs.

Just listened to NLs post-match interview. Never heard him so downbeat and tetchy in the 12+ months he`s been with us. Out of character for sure, and (me being a glass half-empty guy) it makes me think there`s some seriously bad news on the injury front coming up. We`ve had terrible problems this year with long-term injuries, and being without JCM and Andrew Tod for the rest of this memorable season would be very sad.

I`ve not heard it yet but I thought he sounded pretty downbeat in the pre-match one too. ☹️

I heard it too and he sounded well off. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say Lennon is playing some games. I know it’s unlikely but he’s been in similar positions a million times. The guy is a winner and an elite man manager. The game today was a free pass to give players minutes. He’s taking a slight gamble with our league position for a good go at the cup. I think come next Saturday we will have an almost full strength team out.

Uncharacteristic for sure. We all have our off days. Hopefully its just frustration over injuries given where we are. Still alot to play for and hopefully we can rise to the challenge.

I don`t know if this factors into NL`s thinking, but there`s another smart reason to play this line up against Thistle.

We might well play Thistle in the play offs. This line up gives more of our players the chance to play against them, without Thistle getting any real sense of what our line up might be for those games.

I know I`m clutching at straws, but it could give us a tiny edge...perhaps?


Yep, chess is a long game. NL isn`t daft. Game management happens off the pitch too.

I blame Andy Rhodes for this!

Finishing third let`s us play the second leg of the play-off at EEP.
