So we've got 4 league games left this month, what are going to get out of it?
My realism hat says 6 points. Should be 4 against a tough but severely depleted Storm, followed by a split with the Devils and Giants.
However I think 8 points is possible, but that 2nd weekend will be a toughie. Will it help much? Well Steelers and Devils play 2 and a split would help, but Braehead could easily get 8 points. However maybe the Stars can stun then for a couple.

Anything more than 4 points and I am very happy to be surprised.

Based on the number of posts that we get for negative threads - the response to this should be interesting - come on folks ruin this with "we need more players/ d men etc.etc"

However if the guys we have continue pick up the way they have the last couple of games we shouldn't have much trouble taking 4 but 6-8 is possible. |

A negative post about negative posts. Anyway, we have the potential to get 7-8 points but 6 is realistic. Anything less, I'd be disappointed. |

We'll definitely get 4 next week.
The week after is hard, can see us beating Devils at our place, but then having to travel to Belfast and play them being a bit too much.
Since this is the optimism thread I'll go 3 wins and an OT loss in Belfast, 7pts.

We will get 6 points from 3 wins and then a loss in Belfast.
It won't matter though,because Braehead are going to win it.
They have 19 games left and only 4 of them are against our conference !

There is a track on Rod Stewart's new CD (track 4 I think) called "We can win" great tune and would be good if we could play this at the start and regularly during the game (how about it Ken??)

The players will go out for all 8 I'm sure, & I think they'll take Cardiff handsomely (to prove a point) & lose narrowly in Belfast + Storm x 2 wins so 6pts.
There's a couple of tricky games to negotiate in between though but I can't for the life of me recall what they were?! Now, about those injuries.................

Im sorry but who cares its all too little too late..
Most (if not all fans if the trophy thread is to be believed) want the club to win the league the poor run of results now means that is all but impossible.. technically is possible but going on previous seasons its more likely i'll win the lottery and I don't even buy a ticket...

What says it all about this team is that both Cardiff & Sheffield fans are saying on their forums that we are the best team on their rink this season & yet we're not in the title running.
The owners should hang their heads in shame at their failure to support the players.

Another 2 points tonight and then wins for Dundee, Fife and Edinburgh and the title race is back on....almost.

At what point would people begin to really believe again? For me it's 4 straight wins in the league (easy right?). With crucial home games against Cardiff and Braehead and tough away games against Belfast and Dundee and playing one of our games in hand on Cardiff. Win those 4 and the WORST case is 4 points of top (Cardiff and Sheffield tied) but with games in hand on both, gain on Braehead and build a gap with Belfast.
When do I completely and utterly give up? Well maybe we could afford to drop a couple of points, but the problem comes we can't afford that against Cardiff or Braehead or Belfast. Drop any of those 4 pointers and as far as I'm concerned it's not even possible for a miracle run.

We can catch Cardiff and Sheffield,but even if we beat Braehead twice it will be very tough to catch them.
We have to win the next four league games to have any chance.
My money is on Braehead for the title by 4-6 points.

Still not giving up all hope, as anything can happen over the next couple of weeks or so, but the next 4 games are massively crucial. |

Could still do it, but we'll have to improve our conference record pretty significantly (9-9-2 at the moment), given 12 of our 16 games remaining are conference games. I think Clan should win it from here.
But, there's many a slip and all that.

You're all crackers imo. I'm a realist. We have no chance & haven't had since late December.
