wearethepeople1 3,897 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 It is gone. What a fuck up this season. I don't even know what to say. How can we crumble after just 6 games, the sheepshaggers will beat us next week and I reckon it's curtains for Mark Warburton. Sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingKirk 25,632 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 was it ever realistic to say we'd be winning the league this season. Not had a full 90mins performance yet and we are 4th second place is the fight this season and we will achieve that comfortably. Isn't good enough I get that but its been realistic Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic 4,654 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Statistically it's not over yet. Going by our current form though, then yes. But statistically, none of us know what's going to happen next week to us, or the tims. They could drop points wherever whenever and we could click and go a good run. You just don't know yet.

Doesn't matter if it's Rangers or Raith Rovers this isn't an easy league to get promoted into and actually challenge for the league, especially against a team that's won the league for the last 5 seasons in a row beating the teams we're struggling against.

None of todays starting 11 are good enough to be a part of a title winning team. The standard of squad needed to win this league is the standard that Walter left ally. we lost millions etc and needed to rebuild I get that but we could've built that type of squad easily again. If This board where willing to take the hit to allow us to get to that level asap. Everything is now been done on the cheap tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say but what Sugar Daddy is going to come here have to invest what £30 million for what sort of return ? You don't get the exposure they do down south, with the best will in the world Champs League ? This team at present would get reamed and that's in the qualifiers, Europa league probably far too good for us where we are now. I say £30 million that would be the least because of wages etc. I don't know if this manager has ever spent money, it can be quite a burden for some managers. Big McLeish great coach couldn't buy hee haw. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossDas 1,071 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Anyone who thought we'd be favourites after witnessing the finish to last season needs to change their bong water, but the fact of the matter is we are still outspending every non-OF team in this league and should not be facing the likelihood of the title race being out of reach after six fucking games.

jamess 3,422 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I did not expect a league win this season (just hopeful), and have been bitterly disappointed in the start, but I don't think we can get any worse, and a long way to go. Need to get us playing to our potential and see where that takes us. The end of the barren years in the 70s was sweet, and the end of this period will be the best ever, so patience.

DMax399 3,698 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Anything is possible but not necessarily probable. We would need to witness a huge improvement in performance to challenge for the title - which is possible. A lot of posters here basing success on the size of your budget. Which, if true. Means we should finish second. Personally, I'm holding out for better than that - until it is mathematically impossible to do so. This is only my opinion, but there it is.

Malvern 11,329 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Not willing to give up on the season just yet but a major change in tactics and personnel on the field needs to take place. Still it is better to crumble at the start of the season and have a long hard fucking climb up the hill than to fade in the last month so much unlike me I am going to be an optimist that this can be turned around. Title out of the way maybe but not giving up on second quite this early. Next year we really need a wee bit more in terms of players for sure.

Blackandra 732 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Was it ever a possibility. I thought at the start of the season the whole "going for 55" was a bit cringy from the clubs pr team Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
