harryragbags Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 As the pre-season is approaching fast, want to see what people are expecting from all teams for next season, it seems on other teams forums noe one seems to see us as a threat i personally think we'll be a hard team to beat along with maybe hamilton and dundee.

hamiltonjag Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Untried, raw manager. Not much in the way of new faces. Half a stadium. Heart says "MON RA JAGS!!! WE'RE GONNAE WIN THE LEAGUE!!" Head says "Div 1 survival will be great thanks" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northernsoul Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 I'd happily settle for another top half finish. The young players will be given their chance and it's important for us not to get on their backs when it's not going for us, either during a game or a bad run of form. I really hope we have a good Cup run as well. Winning the Challenge Cup would act as a great catalyst for our support in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennythistle Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hard to make a prediction when lads not back for pre season training nor have we finalised our squad yet. I'll come back to this and make a prediction before challenge cup game against Stenny. I am happy how things are moving at this time but want to see 3 or 4 new faces before the season gets under way.

JamesG Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 A Say Theres A Chance Of Us Winning The League, Anyone Can Win It, No One Expected Raith To Be Up There At The End Up, But I Personally Think Top 4 Would Be Good Enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be chuffed to win it if we played the youngsters with Scully in goals, that sort of thing. Otherwise I can't get any enthusiasm for what I regard an inane competition.

I was meaning more along of the final itself. Not a very prestigious competition and a lot of fans don't have time for it but winning it, in my opinion could have a positive effect of galvanising the support.

The feel good factor from winning the trophy would be considerable but imo only if it was done by a Jags team that was made up largely of players with their careers ahead of them.

Jaggyman Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 With quite a few young players i would think our form will be a bit up and down over the course of the season. Would be happy with a top 4 finish and a decent run in the league cup / scottish cup. Challenge cup is a pointless competition imo and just drains clubs already fragile finances--- but in saying that i'd be happy to see the Jags win it.

Surely you have read over and over again...the club is skint. Some on here have asked for one reasonable signing just to get the fans excited, just to get our hopes up and maybe encourage a few more ST sales and you jump down their throats, then you come out with " I want to see 3 or 4 more signings!!! Ah well!!! Anyway for what its worth I reckon we will finish 7th or 8th this season. Think its gonna be a long hard season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also read we are taking 3 or 4 players down for pre season training and trials. Players who are all free agents. Also linked with a player on Montrose books. It could be that we may be able to offer 3 or 4 of these guys deals. Doubt any of us know what the wage structure is going to be and what terms any possible signing will get. I'd hazard a guess that we are in a position to may be offer some a deal or why are they going on pre season training ? Is the reply ok, or you feel I rammed it down your throat ?

Vladimir Putin Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 It's difficult to make predictions this early, but with both an untried manager and untried players, I feel confident in predicting that we have no chance of winning the league over teams like Dundee and Hamilton. I would be very happy with a top-half finish (and at no point thinking we might get relegated) and some decent indicators that the manager and our younger players are improving.

You might be on to something there. A young manager who's just hung up his boots, a squad of (mostly) youngsters, including a great young keeper, a player who can mesmerize everybody including his own team, a young striker starting to show how good he can be, a couple of young, gritty midfielders..... If it all came together again......... Edited June 20, 2011 by Jaggernaut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
