The_Kincardine Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 How are we set up for next season? We've the two Stanley players incoming, Windlass and Crooks. We'll also lose Zelalem and Ball back to their London clubs. Two questions: What changes in personnel are needed for our next title? How will our Barcalonean style of play fit with The Premiership's hoofball? Will we succeed or be overwhelmed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lubo_blaha Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 55 points is an achievable target for you guys I think. Hearts have managed it with a few games to spare after getting promoted last season, albeit they won the lower tier a bit more convincingly. Will be refreshing seeing a different name in the league instead of yo-yo clubs like Hibs and St. Mirren at least, nice to have that variety in the top division.

bennett Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Templeton, Clark, bell, law and maybe shiels will also be gone, another 3 or 4 brought in. I wonder if the players who've been out on loan will get a chance? I reckon 55 will have to wait for a couple seasons, depending on signings I reckon we'll be in the top 4.

I wonder if the players who've been out on loan will get a chance? How about our style of play, Ben? I don't think (and hope not) that Warburton will change the system. How well will this map from The Championship to The Premiership? Will we be forced to resort to punting the ball up to a big bloke or is there scope for a Premiership team to play football?

Bearing in mind how the league has panned out this season, 4th place puts you on a par with Thistle, St Johnstone, Motherwell, Dundee, Ross County and Inverness. All of those teams could finish in fourth. With 1 game til the split, any of those teams could finish in the bottom 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again a similar comparison to Thistle, who came up playing an exciting brand of football. Archie quickly learned that you can't be that bolshy and survive. When you come up against fuckin men mountains that cloggers like Kilmarnock field, you need to adapt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see him changing it myself, think we'll have a few fcuk ups but overall we'll do OK and be there about with hearts and the sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there's the rub - to quote England's bard. My hope is that we continue a la Warburton and bring grace back to Scottish football as we did under Wee Dick. My fear is that we'll be clogged to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big, ignorance fuelled fear on entering the bottom tier was being kicked to bits and now you're saying the same of the top flight.

Mr Toastie is quoted that he believes the development league is a waste of time and will continue to assist in the development of the goof Scottish football by bringing loanees from the English leagus. And title 55 will take at least 55 years for any new club to any leage in the word. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
