manintheknow Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 It's a hard one to call this year. Usually a fast start makes all the difference. Several clubs have a lot of early cup action on their plate. Who do we fancy? Can Troon do a Beith? Can Pollok challenge the Ayrshire stranglehold? Was 40 pts the high watermark for this Ladeside team? I'm still not able to look beyond the usual suspects but do think it will be one with a low points total.

energyzone Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 It's hard to see past Auchinleck for the top spot but there are a few teams who could run them close - Beith, Hurlford, Pollok and Kilbirnie are the teams I expect to make up the top 5. I just think Troon lack something to make them contenders. Cumnock should be fine and I'm not sure if Largs have enough to see them avoid the relegation battle. I'm not confident about Kilwinning's chances either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbaxters Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 For me, Beith are the most likely to challenge Talbot. They have looked strong ever since the Scottish final. Our backward near neighbours will do better than most think and Kilwinning are certs to slip straight back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipple burn Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 It's all guess work at the moment as nothing can be taken from the Ardagh Cup results. The opening four weeks of the league will give us some good pointers but until then I will reserve judgment. It's going to be an exciting league this season unless the authorities feck it up as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superpollok Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 It's going to be another season of mixed results I think. Teams of similar levels all able to beat each other on the day, no easy games. Talbot will continue to be the bench mark and if anyone finishes above them they will be champions.From a Pollok point of view we have a settled side and added a couple of players who improve our side. Still a few concerns in depth of the squad in some positions but going forward we have some of the best players at this level which hopefully makes for an exciting season. If we were in a title hunt come April that would be a very good season for us league wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were based on amazing goals scored then pollok would have won the league already Have watched lots of their footage and from winters 40 yarder away to St Rochs to hanlons hat trick to sideserffs goal at dunterlie pollok seem to score loads of crackers.

fan of the juniors Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Will take no interest in any of the League cup games re possible league form as it's an absolute farceStill think we are a bit short squad wise to go & win the league but we won't be far away again . Looking at the signings other clubs have made I expect Talbot Troon & Ford to be up there or thereabouts with our neighbours close by as wellAs others have alluded to I feel Buffs might struggle as some of their signings have been lukewarm at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sancho Panza Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Hope I'm wrong but can't see Ladeside in the top 4, squad is too weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought last season you were only a 20 goal a season striker away from winning the league as the defence and midfield were pretty much spot on. I would have thought with this type of striker you would be back up there again this season but I don't really know the personnel as much this season as last.

The only player that left that weakened the squad was Mcaleer . An McElroy looks like he will fill that gap given what I've seen of him .
