GAD Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 2 minutes ago, Coventry Saint said: I hope most fans share your realism. I'm still looking at who's coming up and hoping they'll be shite, such is my general outlook. Dundee are usually a comedy outfit so that's a good start. Elsewhere, though, Motherwell have been excellent since Kettlewell took over. Aberdeen should improve. Hibs have looked like the league's 5th best side under Johnson and I'd expect that to continue. Unsure about Naismith at Hearts but can't imagine they'll implode again. Livi and the Fakes are always competitive too. Meanwhile, we have got assets that will be coveted and we absolutely have to play hard ball in the transfer market. By the same token, making money off in-contract players is literally our business plan, so I don't think anyone is 'safe' from leaving. TL;Dr - League won't be any easier next season, but I have absolute faith in the management to replace anyone that does leave. It won't be any easier, but I suppose things do change quite fast. A couple of players can make it break a team, or a manager. Callum Davidson was the manager of the year with Ali McCann and Jason Kerr, not so much with the players he had to sign to replace them. McLean now has another rebuilding job to do there. Dundee are also starting off with no players and manager, bit like us the season we came up. Motherwell might lose Van Veen, and Robson and Naismith are still a bit unproven, especially in the transfer market. No point worrying about it I suppose. Everyone will lose players and have to rebuild to some extent. I think we still have the core of reasonably competent players to build round, and a bit of continuity which is no bad thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess work though, Robinson has got us top 6 so he's already surpassed Goodwin's record. Goodwin had a lot of credit in the bank. He would've have had to had a right stinker of a season for us to have sacked hi. Certainly not impossible but I reckon he'd still be here had he not moved on. Dundee Utd could do a lot worse than appoint Goodwin for next season. If not I could see him pitching up at the likes of Ayr if they have a bad start to next year. Maybe even Raith if Murray moves on. Goodwin got us top six 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started the season so well but seemed to fade away after the WC. Strain has been more of a standout and I expect we may receive offers for him in the summer. We made a bit of money off the back of Baccus at WC. Shame Strain never made the final cut as I think he would have performed well. He does seem to suffer regular issues with his groin though - perhaps he may need some treatment or rest. Two great finds. Hope we uncover some more like these two gems. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
