Unfortunately I tend to agree, IF we don't refresh the squad somewhat. If Sibbald and Baird stay then I think Houston will look for a back up to Gallagher and a wide right midfielder and that'll be about it. I fail to see then how a virtually unchanged squad, one that didn't give us many moments of real quality last season, will suddenly turn in to title winners. The chance was there to free Kerr & Baird and freshen things up a bit but he decided not to take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Blue Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Still too early to call but I'd be hoping to be aiming for top 4 again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 With Naysmith in charge it could go any way. He's cleared out all the players he pissed off, except those on 2 year deals, and brought in a few of his own choosing, so we should get a better idea of his managerial capabilities and preferred playing style. Hope to be proved wrong but I'll say 5th or 6th at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Our current squad of 7 players is just a cover, we will romp the league and have it wrapped up by xmas........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 We have to aim for play-offs this year. League looks strong, Morton, Falkirk, Pars, ICT, Dundee United will all fancy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 We will have a smaller squad and a smaller budget yet the aim (according to players and management) is promotion. We only have half a team just now but it's a very solid core/spine so all depends who else AJ can round up. I'd say 4th would be a huge achievement for us.

MrDust Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Only pars fans can dream of play offs in June...!! I'd say if anyone seriously invested in their team, then they would skoosh the league, Hibs done so last season and really the failure of anyone giving a serious challenge, had them stumble over the line in the last quarter. There is gonna be a much of a muchness within many teams. On paper, this season it's a weaker league. Our expectations as always is top 4, many others will share that and only the deluded and mentally unstable would/could say they will win the league in June. I honestly couldn't advise a bookies on the favourite for the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up against 7 full time outfits who will all have much bigger budgets than you. I'm pretty confident the players we've already got signed will do well this season, only really needing 3 more decent signings and we're good to go. We're looking in a lot better shape than we have been the last 3 seasons too, with players nearly all signed up and most of them already familiar with one another, I don't think we'll be scrapping it out down at the bottom of the table so mid table to 4th place should be our aim.

LiviLion Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 8th would do me tbh. Our squad is much better than when we were last here (getting rid of Darren Cole automatically made us about 10x better), but it's a big step up going from PT teams and Airdrie's laughable effort to the Championship. Gallagher and Halkett gives us good strength at the back, think Lithgow/Crighton will be found out a bit though. Got a good midfield and if we can get Buchanan signed up we've got more than a few goals. Realistically I'd imagine the 'aim' is top half, but avoiding the drop would be a good start to life back in the Championship. Don't think I'm alone in assuming that Brechin will be 10th, giving us a good scrap down the bottom half, can see us fighting it out with Dumbarton and 1 or 2 others to avoid the play offs. We haven't finished above Dumbarton since 2012/13, so they're probably safe already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcintyre_gmfc Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Fancy us for the playoffs again this year, the squad is looking pretty good so far, we still need a few new players, but so far our business has been good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivi1 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I think 5th to 7th but if you offered me 8th now I'd bite your hand off. We have a decent squad together but it's a huge step up from League 1 to the championship although we are much better equipt this time around.

Infirmary Street Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Based on the confidence in Darren Dods that the last two seasons has engendered (but not having a team yet): 8th With a full team, experienced at this level: still 8th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
