EMRFC 4,780 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Anyone else feel we've dug ourselves in to a bit of hole when it comes to winning the league with the whole going for 55 stuff, especially with the card display today. I feel we should just quietly go about our business on the park rather than shoving "Going for 55" in everyone's faces. Now, I think we CAN win the league this year and we should aim for nothing less. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFCRobertson 11,778 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 We never said WHEN we're going for 55. Just now we've been promoted we're going for 55, which if we don't get this season we'll get next season. The song will still be true. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Last season it eventually became know (once we'd won the league) that the line being taken by MW and the squad was that they set out to 'smash' the league. Now there's no way they'd have made that public at the start of the season - it would have wound other sides up and probably added a possibly unwelcome edge to games. So what has MW, DW and the squad set for themselves this season? Is the MW phrase 'more than competitive' vaguely coded language for setting out to win 55 at first pass? I originally took it to mean that. But now I'm not so sure. DK talks today about being 'competitive' and about 'competing with Celtic'. The performance does not look like one from a side that has grasped the importance of the match today or the importance to the Support of 55. So they may not have dug a hole for themselves as such - 55 being then used by MW / DK / squad as aspirational rather than essential. If that is the case then it sticks in the craw though. Sticks even more when I think about DK's fabled statement of £30m, and the £30m of talent that left Ibrox that is nowhere near replaced.

NeoGeo7 10,503 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Seasons aren't over after 1 game. Say hearts win tomorrow for instance doesn't mean they are going to win the title. i honestly believe that if we can get 2 more signings (we all know what positions they are) then we will be going for 55 this year. Can we do it? Yes, but we need to massively up our game and intensity during games. I'm pretty sure that Warburton and the players are targeting a title win this year, last year wasn't about just going up they wanted to smash it (which we did until after the semi final) so I'd imagine they want to win the title. so with that in mind and how we played today much work needs to be done with the current players and in the transfer market.

thebluedoo 2,652 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Imo I don't think saying we are going for 55 has any positive or negative effect on the teams performance or where we will be come the end of the season, I would be totally shocked if any of these players thought that finishing mid table would be in anyway acceptable to the support. What I wont do is panic just yet, the optimist in me says that I would rather have the bumps at the start of the season than when we are closing in on the teams above us in Mar/Apr. Doesn't mean I am not disappointed in todays result, as I am. Would have been nice to put a bit of a marker down today Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluewhitevanman 1,619 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Any player worth his salt would've been absolutely fuckin fired up after seeing all that going on when they walked out that tunnel. Our players seemed the opposite. It was a great idea but feels like a bit of a let down now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boybluesy 3,708 Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 We need to set the bar......as Warburton says, would any of us really be happy with setting a goal in the top 6 ? Also Joey and the boys who came here are looking to achieve that goal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
