BlackComyn Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 7th or 8th. Â Which I think I would take right now unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKennan Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Fifth or higher. There's no expectation so the lads will go and do what they do only better than last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerryHell Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 I'll go for 4th. Despite all our moaning about finances and squads, as many people have said before, just about everyone is in the same boat. I'm sure even the bigot boys have the same complaints as us - Do we have the right manager?, The board is pish, X isn't good enough to wear the jersey. The first two games will be the barometer as we face our bogey teams from last season in Dundee and Raith. A total of three points from the two games would convince me we'll be okay. Anyway, I can't wait to see us in action again - I'm off to Dumbarton tomorrow. C'mon the new season!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamiltonjag Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 Get off to a flyer. Win the first 5 games. Draw the sixth thanks to a hard-luck-dodgy penalty in the last minute. Lose the following 5 home games and collect 1-0 wins and 0-0 draws away. After that we'll be crap! Â Â Mystic Hamiltonjag also does lottery predictions if anyone's interested.

thistledome Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Let's be honest guys and be realistic for once.With the squad that McCall has at hand we will be very lucky to finish in the top four and that would be good but miracles do happen and we could win the comp, so let's be optimistic at the least.

Despite all our moaning about finances and squads, as many people have said before, just about everyone is in the same boat. And to take that analogy further that's why just about everyone is sinking. Â Got a feeling Pars, Ross Co & Dundee will be in the promotion hunt and there'll be a fair sized gap open up between them and half the league with Cowden & Stirling adrift at bottom. I don't think there'll be much between that group of five, so we will be anything between 4th and 8th. Â As long as we're well clear of the bottom two I'd rather we end in 8th place playing with a younger team than a distant 4th regularly playing our three player coaches and other over 30s.

Kapiti Jag Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I reckon 7th or 8th given the current squad, and I could live with that if it meant a good chance at top three in 11-12. Â However, if the 'dream' of expanding the SPL to 16 comes to fruition this season (hah!) then I'd bet all of your mortgages on 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk, County, Dundee and Dunfermline have stronger squads. We will be competing with Queens, Raith and Morton in the middle. Â My main concern is up front where we are relying on four players who have rarely troubled opposing keepers in 2010. I hope that Doolan and Grehan will come good but my gut feeling is that they will struggle. Â I am also concerned that we have not got a reliable first choice left-back nor pace in midfield.

uberteeb Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Dundee have hardly got any players according to today's paper. Falkrik and Dunfermline seem the best on paper but bare in mind that every game between Raith/Dunfermline/Cowdenbeath/Falkirk/Stirling is essentially a derby in their eyes, anything can happen in them to use the old cliche. Â Therefore we will slip under the radar and win the league. 3 or 4 of the youngsters to turn out to be world beaters, fire us to promotion and a Scottish Cup win. Fact. (putting 'Fact' at the end makes it true right ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunky jag Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 I'd be content with a mid-table finish aslong it's a building block in terms of the youngsters getting regular first team football this season. Â Can see Falkirk Dunfermline Dundee maybe County making up the top 4, Stirling and Cowden bottom two, we'll finish anywhere in between that, which I'd take but it has to be with an eye on the on the following season in terms of bringing through the youth.

GrantB Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 If we sign a couple more players, we migt be in with a chance of finishing 8th.

However, our form in 2010 has been woeful and will not have Tuffey to save us some key points. Hopefully, the youngsters, Kinniburgh and even Boyle will come through. Buchanan must regain his scoring ability. The aging squad could bring injury problems and suspensions will cost us dearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â We're replacing tuffey with a guy who was struggling to get a game with Forfar last season. We have an ageing defence, a left back the manager doesn't want, bombscare Kinniburgh is back and few options up front if Liam gets injured again. Not to mention no one to replace Corcoran which leaves us with one left midfielder who has zero composure and cant put in a decent cross. Â We should be thankful to Danny Lennon for taking all of Cowdenbeath's players to St Mirren. I'm at least confident we wont finish bottom.

The Legend Blows Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 (edited) 8th, 9th or 10th. Probably 9th assuming Cowdenbeath run out of steam by the new year. Utterly woeful season here we come! I'll go one further. 7 wins. 10 draws. 19 defeats. 31 points. 9th place. Relegated via playoff semi final defeat.
