Utter tripe.  The previous regime(s) ripped it to bits.  It's being rebuilt.  You don't walk into a shop and ask for a new "football department" and ask for an extended warranty.  Foundations are now in place with a philosophy from the youth up.  At first team level it needs improving and we're learning the occasional sharp lesson in that.  Next summer window is far more important than this winter imo.  We will finish second, next year needs a step up in investment. "We're learning the occasional sharp lesson",now where have I heard that phrase before? I wouldn't like to live in a house where Warburton and Weir were responsible for the foundations. I might also add that the philosophy you talk about is naive in the extreme and far better teams than us have struggled with Warburton's fantasy football(man.city are the most obvious). When Kenny Miller is your best player then something is far wrong. And why sign Garner when you are building a Barca tribute act? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyserSoze 14,654 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 This was never a season we would emerge as a footballing force again..... never. Feels like our ambition is there for all to see... cut price nearly good enough players, a sprinkle of loanees, 2nd place and perhaps a sneaky cup win. This I am sure has been discussed behind closed doors. I hope to fuck this is the only season we are of that mind set or we will become our very own Motherwell.

He's no world beater himself but I would rather have see somebody like Diagouraga come alongside Toral. Couldn't agree more, midfield is very lightweight and rarely do you see someone snap into a tackle. No grit and often it means when it comes to those games which turn into battles, we get rolled over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have added a few players and whilst people can argue their merits this is more then the rest have done. See no reason why we will not be in the same place at the end of the season. Aye we will drop some points and about a zillion topics will start about how shite we are....win a few and the gap is not that much Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your certainly right but I can't see us not finishing second tbh. Â In the next half season I expect them to drop more points than us but I also expect us to finish about 30 points behind the taigs. So although it will be 2nd it will be a poor 2nd. with regards our away form it is quite alarming especially at teams in and around us like last year we just couldn't cut the mustard at Falkirk and hibs-minus the friendly.

Â If our away for matched our home form and we got the strikers contributing it would be a lot easier, i hope we do not play the way we played last third of last season.
