Can we win league with this squad?

[MacBoyd 5,441]

Early in season but I don't think we have the quality tbh. Even a new manager couldn't probably, strikers and defence not good enough and totally imbalanced squad.

What's the thoughts? Can win with beale a new manager or agree we don't have the players?

Hate being so negative but we have only one the league once since our return and no other season we have even took it to the wire, hard to be positive...help me oot!

[graeme_4 34,532]

No. 

[mark1963 902]

Not with Beale in charge in my opinion. 

[DW1872 1,207]

Probably yes. With the current manager? No

[The Godfather 71,896]

A competent manager would have us ahead in the league.

Squads not the glaring issue

 

[VERITAS VOS LIBREBETS 3,321]

Yes if they are given the right tactics, get played in their proper positions and learn to pass the ball correctly. 

[left winger 14,187]

Yip. Highly unlikely, but yip.

[Badger 8,664]

Of course we can win the league if everything went right.

However, I just don't see enough goal threat to make it much more than a long shot.

If the players are used correctly and actually knew what the fuck they were doing then aye.

This 100%

[Laudrupsleftfoot 10,875]

Based on what they have by way of comparison - resounding yes.

Needs an upturn in form from a big chunk of players though, but the quality in comparison to theirs is there.

[SkylineBlue 23,367]

With a competent manager it's possible, but based on the early signs I don't think there is enough quality there to win a title. That's a shocking thing to have to say after the amount of money we've spent, but we handed a wad of cash to a dud. 

[Zappa6995 3,645]

Anything is possible, blah blah blah. but I very much doubt from what Ive seen so far from this squad and management team that its going to happen

[Bad Robot 21,151]

Yes 

[DrLaudrup 4,606]

Set up properly we wouldn’t have lost the opener and would have beaten them.  Unless there is a miracle I don’t believe we will win anything under Beale. 

[ger4life_1872 29,518]

Yes

[6superbarry6 14,159]

Yes, but not with that clown in charge 

[TamCoopz 19,605]

The manager is clearly the issue ffs, players played in correct position might work for us.

[superallysbears 7,583]

Managers make teams, Brenda has been let off the hook for now but there's no way he's hitting the numbers fat Ange achieved and it's still very much all to play for imo. Still can't get my head round how much Beale has made a cunt of it.

Is it?

They are stronger than us right down the spine and they’ve got a core of players who have been the course multiple times over.

[Jimfanciesthedude 24,547]

Half this forum would have 12pts from 12 so far this season

The other half would have found a way to fuck it at home to livi lol

[SPWF 8,232]

Any real manager would have us on maximum points now, even with the questionable ability of the players. The city boy must go for us to have any chance of competing.

Should’ve marked their captain out the game on Sunday and that would have nullified them 

[mitre_mouldmaster 21,509]

Could do, in the same way Aberdeen could.

Its unlikely though.

I don think we have the right personnel to end up with more points than them across the city. Not enough quality options wide etc.
