He's blue he's white 717 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 What does Pedro need to achieve this coming season to call it successful. I was allowing myself to go a bit OTT because of all the good news pre-season, but trying to be sensible what do we all think? Group stages of Europa Scottish cup Within single digits of the great unwashed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 A close second is with us putting up a real challenge, something we know we can push on from because no one wants another summer of wholesale changes. Next summer we need to see we are 'just' strengthening and not a 8-10 player rebuild. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,723 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 2nd, and considerably closer than last season. I'd say max 10 to 12 points behind. That's it. Don't expect to beat the bheasts at their place so given that could happen in the cups then they're not in my list of minimal expectations. Europe is just gravy, it's all about significant progress in our footballing style and league results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

delamonty 992 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Focus needs to be on the league -- Europa is just a (nice) distraction. Pushing the scum all the way -- maybe even winning the league. But I expect at a minimum splitting the OF matches this year and getting stronger as the year progresses.. much stronger. bottom line... Massive improvements and I will be happy.

MelbourneBlue 198 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I want to see us consistently beating teams we dropped points against this year that we would seldom have dropped points against in the past. If we match or better the scum's results against the rest, I genuinely think they will bottle it. That doesn't mean I believe we're definitely going to win the league (although I expect to be much, much closer) - just that I don't believe "the invincibles" are anything of the sort and would love to see us put that to the test.

scottyc06 6,915 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Personally I think to be successful we need to win the league! However, in terms of being acceptable we will need to at least challenge for the league, keeping the difference within 10 points or so! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom1780 1,218 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 the league and a cup. group stages of Europa league. not to loose games to bottom six teams and not to lose games by more than 4 goals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blue Sea of Ibrox 2000 66 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Nothing less than single digits behind septic. Win both our home games against them. Beat the sheep both our home games and at least one of theirs. Beat yellow teeths mob in all four league games. Win either Scottish or league cup. Good run in Europe and the treble a bit unrealistic at present but I can still dream. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyd09 390 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Title for me that always has to be how we are judged each season and a cup is always , good , I hope Iam wrong but Europe will for this season be hard to go far as we don't have our team in place yet Fight desire, never give in attitude and we shouldn't be far away when the trophies are dished out Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camshy 812 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 League is the priority, closer to Celtic that gives us a chance to challenge and more consistency against the rest. Europe is a big ask, even against the lesser fancied teams. Good cup run would be good but if we are still in the hunt with Celtic league wise I would sacrifice a run.

jintybear 8,536 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 This season I would expect to be much closer to the tims and get a bit of silverware- either the Scottish cup or the league cup. It would be great to win the league but I don't see it. Our players have hardly had a rest and I think our saving grace will be the winter break but they will be burnt out come January.

Paulie Walnuts 1,061 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I would like to at least challenge on all domestic fronts. If we have to come second in the league, I expect us to take it to the last few games. Europa league I would be ecstatic with group stages, but could be too much of an ask for that right now.

Gaffbear 4,096 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Very minimum is to chase that mob till last game imo...a cup also . I fancy us to get to 3rd qualifier in Europe but if we meet arsenal or the like were out . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviGer 648 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Challenge in the league and a cup final. Europa League group stages is a massive task. Domestic football should be our main focus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
