Will it collapse?
Run in has 2 games you'd think were 3 points in the bag v Alloa away on Sat & QoTS 2nd last game.
Inbetween they have ICT away, then us at hame, Dunfermline & Partick hame, Ayr United away afore finishing the season with Falkirk away.
If I was a County fan I'd be nervous.
Alloa are due a win & QoTS too. Tougher fixtures than these 2 and hard tae predict.
We've to go to the Hielands twice where I think we'll need a minimum of 4 points to give us a chance.
If we play like we did at EEP we should be confident about winning our other 4 games.
But even if the above happened Ross County would need only 14 points out of 24 to win the league which is like 4 wins, 2 draws & 2 losses.
Would be them on 71 points with a somewhat superior goal difference.

Yeah the goal difference is like an extra point for County
We just have to win every match and see where it takes us. If we can win every match - which includes the 6 pointer game in Dingwall- then likely we will win the title.
The time up to full time next Friday will let us know if we have a chance. I think Alloa and ICT could be tricky for Ross Co

Hopefully.
We just got to hope for 3 points Saturday and pray County drop at Alloa.
Both of us will drop points over the coming games. We just need to hope they drop to us.

QoTS are due a win you say, and who do we play this weekend. Let's hope they're still due a win after we beat them then.

Realistically, it's not going to happen. However, if we can win the next 2 games it puts a huge amount of pressure on them. Personally, I have seen nothing so far that would indicate that they won't see it out, especially when you see that they can probably afford a couple of losses and a couple of draws (I don't see us winning every game). For me if it happens it will be right up there with some of the best efforts in the clubs history (ignoring of course the calamities that have got us here), but even if it doesn't the positivity of a good run in for the play-offs is absolutely key. If we can keep it tight at the back and start converting some chances, confidence will grow.

Going by tonight. No.
Massive win for them tonight and they're all but there now.
If they avoid defeat to us on Friday it's done.

I reckon the results have gone our way tonight. There was no way we would win the last 5 games to catch RC. Both ICT and Ayr dropping points gives us a better chance of getting 2nd, That is the focus now.

There is no chance of winning the league, accept it and prepare for the play-offs. In that context we have to give Laidlaw a run out at some point, keeping in mind the freak Deniz injury last season (imo).
And maybe try a different set up rather than one up front, among a few other changes just in case.
