20 points before we play the scum
I hate threads like this, one game at a time.One of these threads a day, when it should be 1 game at a time.
Let’s just cut all this out, cut to the chase, points total we need to win the league
That should keep youse busy.
Change the Hearts into a win and that’s what I think we’ll do.20 points for me
Livi (H) Win
Hearts (A) Loss
Sheep (H) Win
Dundee (A) Win
Hamilton(H) Win
Hibs (A) Draw
St Johnstone (A) Win
Hibs (H) Win
Scum (H) Draw
We done this before the Dundee game on 15th September through to the Livingston game (9games) and everyone was saying 27 points as it should have been but there will always be slip ups. Better to be realistic so your expectations aren’t to high. I’d take the 20 points as predicted right now I think because it could be worse.
We wouldn't be actually as we'd have a game in hand as they got a game moved to Jan.Likewise. I see a couple of draws in that run and most likely away to Hibs + St Johnstone. If they get a maximum (haven't checked their run), we'll be 6pts behind with them coming to Ibrox. Win that and I'll take being 3pts behind going into the Winter break.

We'd be 3 points behind going into the new year game if they get maximum points up to then. They won't though they'd draw at least one so could be even tighter.
I'd agree that 20+ points from the 8 games in the lead up would be good and set us up nicely for a challenge.
We'd have 44 points in that case which is 2.2 points a game and is a reasonable title challenge position. Actually just over what Celtic achieved last season and they are 6 points worse off now than they were at this point last season.
Why don’t you just not bother with such an exercise?20 points for me
Livi (H) Win
Hearts (A) Loss
Sheep (H) Win
Dundee (A) Win
Hamilton(H) Win
Hibs (A) Draw
St Johnstone (A) Win
Hibs (H) Win
Scum (H) Draw

The target is obviously 27.
What the real question is, is what is acceptable. I'd say 22, provided none of the dropped points are against Celtic.
1 more point than 2nd will do me lolOne of these threads a day, when it should be 1 game at a time.

If we are looking to challenge for the title this season we need to pick up on average between 2.2 - 2.4 points per game.
After 21 games, We would need to be on a minimum of 46 points.
That's picking up 22 points, which should be feasible with adequate rotation and sorting out our silly defensive lapses.
Given our relatively poor start; Draws at Motherwell and Aberdeen which lost points from winning positions in the last minute, a draw with Kilmarnock at home and losing away to Livingston, we need to pick up the slack in this set of fixtures.
Livingston do not travel well, Hearts have had the spine of their team ripped out but might still put up a decent fight, we owe dolly an absolute hammering, Dundee are useless everywhere, Hamilton will put up an fight but I think we should have them covered with quality differences.
The last four on the list are a bit of an issue in my opinipon. St.Johnstone in Perth are going to be a nightmare to break down and will put up an almighty fight (both figuratively and literally). Hibs are going to be up for their Cup Finals and the Child Molesters are going to turn up for a game.
Have u been watching us? Take away the Motherwell game where can u see us winning 9 games out of 9 in the league with 2 European games aswell! No chance! Hope al wrong butWith Hearts and Hibs dropping form that set of games right up to the scum at Ibrox is a fantastic opportunity for us. I see no reason why we cannot win all of them right up to the game at Ibrox.
Max 2 points behind them9 games 27 points up for grabs what do you think we will get/ need to go top for 2019?
Livi (H)
Hearts (A)
Sheep (H)
Dundee (A)
Hamilton(H)
Hibs (A)
St Johnstone (A)
Hibs (H)
Scum (H)
Think we will take 24 points with hibs away the wobble
Them aw....surely that's the target !
