No_Problemo Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 8 minutes ago, D'Jaffo said: Aye I don’t see us winning the league. I feel as though the big difference between this team and McCalls team is that not everything is going through one or two players. A couple of seasons ago if Shankland had an off day and the opposing centre half had a good day then we’d struggle. You saw it in the latter half of the season when Shankland came back from injury. Now we’re playing more as a team with just about every player making a positive contribution to the wins. I don’t think there’s been one game this season that Dipo has had to carry us. It’s very much been a team effort. I’ll be delighted if we’re still in the mix come January and hopefully we can use that window better than we did the last time we were in this position. Basically every single goal we score is through Dipo though? I would actually say we currently rely on one player far more than we did in the Shankland era. It very much is a team effort, but everything positive in an attacking sense tends to come through him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's also good is that while we look to have a fairly settled starting 11 we've a much stronger bench than before. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursy7 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I don't think we will win the league or go up via the play offs and taking all the emotion out of it we just are not ready for the prem in ideal world we will finish top four we take the momentum and hopefully added interest in the club from the town to kick on for a real tilt at going up the next season, imagine being promoted and we open the new North Terrce in our first home game in the top flight in over 40 years 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 I know it's only 6 games in but... I fucking love this game and this team. Let's keep going, who knows where it will take us? Looking forward to next saturday already - I hope we get a big turnout and get Somerset rocking. We need to make Somerset a fortress if we are to sustain a challenge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diegomarahenry Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 We have a settled team for once and it looks like a case of, if its not broke, don't fix it. I was concerned that with the signing of Mullen, O'Conner would be straight out the team but it looks like Bullen is giving players the right to keep their jerseys where as last season he stubbornly played players who weren't doing it. We still need someone scoring every second or third week beside Dipo to mount any kind of title challenge because we give away a goal a game, there is no sign of Dipo slowing down on the goals but it'll happen sooner or later, right now he is taking the pressure off others. Even someone in midfield that will get 8-10. As long as we remain consistent, we will keep up with Queens Park, Dundee and Thistle, they look the most consistent teams so far. We have beaten both Dundee and QP, with Thistle still to play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Hopefully that goal gives Mckenzie a big confidence boost and he starts scoring. If he doesn’t he may find himself out the team and young coming in to replace him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhursy7 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 If I'm correct that's Murdy, Dempsey, Houston, Mckenzie, and McGinty scored now, if Dipo keeps up this form and Ashford, O'connor, JML and Mullen can pinch a few each we will be okay. The way Dipo is going he will will have elipsed Adeloyes 11 league goals last season before the leaves are off the trees. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not allow as many away fans and not lose the match day income from the Hub. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 It's too early to think about winning anything. In fact it's probably unfair on the team to set expectations too high and judge results against them. Happy to enjoy the good form while it lasts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've mentioned previously that we have the same issue any time our size has. You have a really strong starting eleven, but take even just one or two out of it (excluding Dipo) and it can have a massive effect on the team. Take Dipo out of it, and we are royally screwed. We're going to have injuries to someone of these eleven and it's going to hurt us. But agreed, let's enjoy it while it lasts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibuya Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 (edited) Every team at this level relies on one or two star men. Arbroath stumbled without Nouble, Thistle aren't great when Brian Graham isnt playing, Kilmarnock needed Lafferty to get over the line etc. These guys are the difference between 3 points and a draw.
