weeyin 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. If we kept winning it, that last one wouldn't be as special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'm repeating myself but I think that it is going to be very hard for provincial, and especially fan owned provincial teams, to break into the Top 6 in the foreseeable future. There was a time when we could compete with much bigger clubs for players, we just can't do that any more and at the end of the day money buys quality. Hibs, who had nearly 20,000 people at their last match, and are now the third best supported team in the country, will surely be able to recruit enough quality to see them into the Top 6. It remains to see how the Cathro experiment goes at Hearts (personally, I suspect he'll get his jotters fairly soon into the new season) but I think we are probably looking at 1 realistic free spot in the Top 6 for the non city clubs to aim at and others are in a better position than us to get it, so I don't expect a Top 6 finish. What I'm really looking for is just improvement on last year, or over the general standard of the last few seasons. I want to see us better organised, tougher to beat, play more attractive football and make sure we don't ship goals and points from Fir Park. I'm a strong believer in the home ground being a fortress and no one should come to our place and have an easy game, that above anything else needs to be instilled into the team. I'd like us to ship out non contributors like Blyth and Clay, I'd like us to avoid injuries to important players and I'd like us to keep Louis Moult unless we get an offer we can't refuse.

Yassin Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 I'm cautiously optimistic about the season ahead. I reckon we'll probably bounce around the lower end of that 4th-9th pack and be in contention for top six but likely end up a fairly comfortable 7th or 8th. Now I've said that we'll either finish 2nd and win the cup or be relegated before the split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo 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. That sums up my hopes also. Most of us appear to be on the same page at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellfan1984 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Win our league cup group reach and Round 3 Reach round 5 at least in the Scottish. 10th or above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Turn up in the cups, play some decent football, stay well clear of relegation, develop a couple of the u20s into genuine first teamers. Zero appearances from Blyth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Contend for top 6, and no relegation drama. The cups are completely dependent on the draw, so I'd go with winning all our non old firm cup games, and the finals (if we get there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyMax Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Be above the relegation dogfight, compete a bit in the cups, beat Sevco at least once, play better football, increase crowds, be in a position to build further for next season.

weeyin Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 And we wouldn’t need to release strips to remind us of our failure since then.

Kmcalpin Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 My goal would be to finish mid table, maybe even 6th. Certainly well away from the relegation dogfight. A decent cup run too, based on good cup draws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electric Blues Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 We've talked about goals, and we've talked about hopes, but my dream would be that all the new signings gel immediately. We win our first five games and then the momentum and confidence carry us on a Leicester-like run to the top of the table. The culmination of this dream would see Celtic coming to Fir Park for the first post-split fixture, 14 points behind after we've pumped them three times already, and shitting themselves as total underdogs. Needless to say, we horse them 5-0 to take the title, and go on to lift the Cup a month later after beating Rangers by a similar margin. And then the little boy woke up... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purestate Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Top 6 with at least 3 games to spare then whenever the points take us. Not losing in cups to lower league or Accies/Thistle/County/Killie. Achieve this while also selling 2 players for combined £1m to Eng Championship / Lge 1 sides.

StipeIsGod Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Good football. Actually watchable, enjoyable football that takes away some of the apathy which crept in this year. Cup runs and between 4th and 8th seem realistic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a wee cup run would be braw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Going into every game believing we can win will do for me. Last season, McGhee was effectively writing us off before we took to the field against the likes of Hearts and Aberdeen. If this can be packaged with a purposeful style of football and the emergence of a couple of exciting players, then we should be in for an enjoyable season.

rambunctious Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 If we're round about 35-40 points at the split we'll have had a decent league campaign. That should see us about safe and maybe sneak us into the top 6. Kinder draws in the cups would be nice, and a win against the Rangers would be very excellent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avoiding relegation with some comfort and a cup run would be good but I'd also like to see us carry a threat. Players like Ojamma and Johnson in recent years have given us a little buzz of excitement when they receive the ball in good positions and I'd like to see an element of this return even if it's a player combination rather than individuals that provide it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Kinder draws in the cups I don’t think it matters, as even when we get favourable draws we still fail miserably. Albion Rovers anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
