Title will be contested between Dunfermline, Killie, Thistle and Accies. ICT and Raith Rovers play off contenders The rest in relegation contention. Pretty much what a lot of people are thinking. There will be a shock position or two in there undoubtedly though

Can't see us finishing above mid table tbh. Could be a long season. Will be interesting to see what level of player is acquired in the summer (if any).

Ps. "Rikki" was MOM

Can't believe nobody ever calls you out on this negative sh*t. Yes, we all miss Gogic but some of the young players coming through look promising. It's been happening for 6 years now, you have been saying the same at start of those years, maybe time to start believing?? Or at least supporting??

According to radio we cannot qualify as one of best placed runners up with 7 points which is all we can get now

On loan from Norwich. Cheers, must have missed that one

He's starting this season well after showing some promise at end of last season. Trying my best to keep up with new signings but must have missed #6 tonight Phillips. Is he a signing or from the development set up??

Sunderland apparently. That's Crawford, Docherty and Temps all at League 1 clubs now.

Yes, a lot of huff and puff. But he was the only one of our strikers who could remotely time a header properly. Hopefully this guy Bloomfield will turn out to be decent, seemingly ok last night albeit against Stenny

He must love playing in red and white Hoops.

I agree that we should always be looking to grow as a club, don't have a problem with that. But a sense of perspective is necessary too. You talk about negative attitude from fans. I agree with that too, that is precisely my point. Admittedly, I'm not on here very often but when perusing other posts I find our fans the most critical of them all. Not really sure what we are expecting. If you think of the quality of player which we continue to lose to bigger clubs (McCarthy, MacArthur, Neil, Andreu, McGovern, etc) and the constant struggle to replace them i don't think we're doing too badly.

Ok, maybe not fantastic. Is undervalued a better adjective??? Despite his critics, he has helped us win a lot of games from defensive midfield. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but as you admit yourself, every Accies manager from Reid through to Canning has valued him.....they all can't be wrong. I haven't PM'd you mate. Don't spend a lot of time on here due to the constant negativity. (Not necessarily yourself, but the majority). I remember the old second and third division days not that long ago. When we made it to the first division (or Championship as it is now) under Maitland, our sole focus was survival. We have the smallest fan base in the top flight and i'm assuming the smallest budget too. We are performing something of a small miracle in starting our 3rd year here but the abuse both managers/players take on here is incredible. Next week we are playing Sevco in front of a sell out 50,000 or whatever on Sky Sports in the top league in our country, There are many bigger clubs in the Championship who would bite your hands off to do that. We have earned that opportunity. Let's enjoy it. Btw, no doubt I'll be called a happy clapper but i would just like a little bit of positivity.

Ok, i must be a Gillespie fan boy but i have to disagree about his effectiveness from midfield. He is fantastic in that position, and although maybe understated, has been responsible for many a result in the past couple of seasons by winning that midfield battle and allowing Crawford, Imrie, etc, the chance to play. But, i totally agree, he's always been wasted at right back. We need two full backs desperately. And maybe another centre half and forward. Any word about getting big Carlton back on loan again?? He was coming on to some game before he left.
