CMWellfan Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Two of the last three seasons have been painful, and if it weren't for the McGhee inspired run last season that would have been painful too. My goal for the club has been the same every season for decades. Finish fourth. It's not often we overachieve in that regard and when we do it's exceptional. I reckon we could manage fourth this year. Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen look to be in a league of their own, but Aberdeen may be dragged back into the fray due to the mount of players they have lost, I can't see Cathro doing anything with Hearts. I reckon Hibs will be flakey. So that kinda leaves St Johnstone as the team to beat to get to fourth place. No disrespect to the other teams, it is always possible that one of them will have a belter/fluke of a season. So fourth place would be magic, Mr Robinson - top six perfectly acceptable to say the least. And do us a favour, give us the joy of beating both of the Bigot Brothers at least once next season. What's your goal for the club next season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Given the size of re-build job and bearing in mind it will take time for players to settle in I'd be happy if we managed to finish safely in the top 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 First goal is to win our league cup group and be seeded for the next round. In general just want us to play some better football and be nowhere near 11th or 12th. Top 6 would be nice. Oh and more than one visit to Hampden. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_tony Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I think we should be aiming to make the top six. Anything further is a bonus, and if we narrowly miss out, then fine. But seeing how close the teams between 11th and 7th were this season, we should definitely be capable of challenging for a place on the top half come the split. A positive improvement on this season's play would be my main wish however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Superwell Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 My goal is same as every season, i expect to see us challenge for top 6 and at least have a run in both cups, if we do then i'm pretty happy with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleeastdave Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Before the recent signings it would be survival, but now I am thinking semi finalists of both cups and a top six finish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Finish 10th and a wee cup run. anyone aiming higher just now is off their rocker IMO. I'd be delighted with a comfortable 7th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Made Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Anywhere above 10th but not leaving it as late as this season to complete it. Definitely don't want another relegation scrap. And a decent run in both cups if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'd be more than happy with a no drama season tbh. Win a few, draw a few, lose a couple. Win some back to back, keep some clean sheets. No horsings, no defensive shambles, no last minute losses. Some decent football and a fairly stress free, non-relegation bothering mid-tableness. It's not *too* much to ask for eh? Oh, a cup run would be nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Don't get relegated. Stay solvent. Win a few games. Beat Accies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Realistically, with the city clubs budgets top 5 should be sewn up so looking at 6th or 7th. Id be happy with 6th - 8th and maybe a wee cup run. As long as the football is better than our "brand" of football last season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermarv Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Should be aiming higher than 9th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Primarily avoid another relegation dogfight, while holding out aspirations to challenge for a top six place if the squad clicks like we hope it will and if we get a bit of luck in terms of the teams around us. But 8th or above in terms of league position has to be heralded as a minor success given the last few years of mince we've been served up. Anything remotely resembling a cup run would also be nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat_tony Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Finish 10th and a wee cup run. anyone aiming higher just now is off their rocker IMO. Do you really think so though? I mean, looking at last season, we finished four points behind Partick in 6th (okay we were eight behind County in 7th), but there really isn't a massive gap between the bottom six teams. Any one of us could sneak into the top six with a reasonable run of consistency. Aiming for an extra two or three wins isn't all that extreme really. I'd definitely take getting through at least one knock-out round in either cup as progress though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Avoid relegation, and try to push for top six if possible. A cup run would be nice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely take getting through at least one knock-out round in either cup as progress though! I agree with your analysis. Apart from the gruesome twosome and the Sheep, there's little to choose among all the other teams, and the Sheep could plummet if McInnes goes and they continue to lose decent players. St Johnstone have, consistently, done well and so did we for a good spell in the not too distant past. So, with some competent refereeing decisions, I see no particular evidence for us not being able to finish without any real relegation fears. A good run in one of the Cups would be nice, too.

PennsylvaniaDosser Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Should be aiming higher than 9th Finished 9th this past season. The goal should always be to surpass the previous year, so a goal to finish higher than 9th seems about right. I'd also set a goal of at least one cup quarterfinal appearance.

Richie Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Avoid relegation and play-off. Semi-decent cup run, although this is very much down to luck of the early round draws. Last year's draws were harsh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Anything remotely resembling a cup run would also be nice. Given how awful our recent cup history has been, would winning all of our 4 group games in the Betfred cup constitute a cup run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 A top six finish would be nice. I’ve already dismissed the cups as we sadly don’t appear to do them anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
