SPFL2 Matches, Saturday 09/04/2016

Alloa Athletic 1-0 Hibernian ... the Wasps sting again ! Laugh

Falkirk 3-2 St Mirren
Greenock Morton 2-1 Livingston
Queen of the South 1-2 Raith Rovers ... this result puts Raith into and QotS out of the play-offs.

I'm actually a bit embarrassed for Hibs now. Sick

That's 1 win, 1 draw and 5 defeats in their last 7 league games. Even we didn't have a spell that bad last season.

But for me today's most pleasing results were the win for Kilmarnock and defeat for Dundee United in the Premiership. DU have been steadily closing the gap lately and look in danger of catching Killie, but those results increase the gap a bit again to 8 points. I honestly can't think of anyone I'd rather see relegated right now than Dundee United. Well, maybe celtic, but that's going to have to wait for now.

SPFL2 Matches, Tuesday 12/04/2016

Dumbarton 4-2 Queen of the South
Hibernian 2-2 Falkirk ... 10 man Falkirk retain their 6 point GAP.

Falkirk have to be favourites to make the play off final. Their attitude is excellent - play the game right up to the final whistle.

You can't buy (or borrow) that kind of spirit.

From watching the SPFL2 games over the Season it is Falkirk that have impressed me the most. I think they will now retain 2nd place and could well get to the Play-Off Finals, which will probably be against Dundee United. As for Hibernian, their Season could get a boost or totally collapse, depending on their SFA Cup Semi-Final; if they are knocked out it must only depress their morale further, because their SPFL2 campaign has effectively collapsed already. Raith Rovers could be dark horses, they certainly have momentum atm, which has secured their play-off place.

Dundee United will go straight down, Larry.

Possibly Killie for the final spot.

Larry-AV · 12-04-2016, 23:12

Silly me (!) ... Of course it will probably be Kilmarnock, although Hamilton are not safe; mathematically none of the bottom six are safe atm.

SPL as at 12/04/2016.
The split means the top six and the bottom six play each other, to get a 38 game Season.
