Our poor showings against the diddys means we have to beat Motherwell and Hibs to stand any sort of chance to win this.

We desperately need some momentum and belief that we have enough about us to do it from this point.

Do worry about this game tbh. I know they've dropped off slightly but think they can pass through our static midfield. We can't afford to start another game poorly or it could be a long afternoon.

Altena - Beni - Devlin - Kyzi

We should worry about every game, we’re currently shite.

Hopefully something clicks.

I wouldn’t be against a shree 5 2

How true do we think it is that we are better against the good sides rather than playing the dross? It looks like we will find out and our campaign depends on it.

Maybe Del will be more comfortable in these scenarios when we don’t have to dictate games.

If this was away, I'd be seriously concerned about our ability to turn them over, but, at home it should be straight forward.

3-0.

5 consecutive nervy 1-0 home wins would be the mark of champions. Make it so.

It's a false comfort blanket because we have a decent points tally against them from earlier in the season.

We are undoubtedly better suited to facing teams who will come and take the game to us. Whether that means anything in these 6 games where the pressure is huge remains to be seen. I genuinely would rather be playing the better teams than your Livis and Killies now though.

Do we spend all week pretending we’re good again, when in reality we know we’re waiting for Shankland to bail us out, Naismith/Critchley style

We're definitely at the point of hoping our better players come up with something and we manage to cling on, performance level fell off a long time ago and I don't see it turning at this stage.

I mean I think this time of the season is when the big players tend to turn up and push teams over the line, it's the reason most teams win titles. Would be handy if we had more than one player capable of turning up and getting us there, but I feel it's going to need to be Shanks and Braga to pull us over the line.

Yeah yeah. But let's admit Kyziridis is brutal just now.

We need 3 physical CMFs. Livingston showed 2 doesn't work.

Any side not containing Beni at this point I’ll just assume is a troll.

We can't fuck this up, plain and simple.
It's at Home, and Motherwell's recent form isn't great.
Celtic will beat St Mirren
There's a chance Falkirk might get a draw against Rangers, but probably not.

More dropped points for us, and we'll be praying for 2nd place

Motherwell have fallen off lately, so it's a good game to bounce back in.

No more out-of-position right-backs, Altena or Borch (I know there's 0% chance of that) must start. I wouldn't be against a midfield three of Beni, Devlin, and McEntee.

It's probably already over, but anything less than three points and that's it.
