New Season Predictions (Hibs league position, and other stuff)

[theonlywayisup]

Bit of fun! Where will we finish in the SPL 2013/14?

Please give a reason to substantiate your choice. For those who want to see a few more games, the poll is open until a few days after the Hertz game.

7th - I still feel that we will be better than many of the SPL sides, but can't see us making the top six. The leaky defence, plus lack of pace and skill being our downfall.

[CallumLaidlaw]

5th

[Jonnyboy]

No idea as apparently I'm not allowed to judge them on what I've seen so far, despite two of the games being competitive ones

[Robinho08]

I voted for 4th:

1. Sellick
2. Sheep
3. Dundee Utd
4. Hibs.

Forgot about Motherwell right enough.

I think we have a decent team (on paper), question mark is on Fenlon of course.

[Dashing Bob S]

On that show last night, I'd say 13th.

[Sir David Gray]

Looking at our squad just now, I would say 8th.

A few signings though over the next few weeks and we could easily finish in the top four.

[OrdHibby]

Can i get two shots at it.

12th if Fenlon remains in charge

2nd with a good manager in charge

[21.05.2016]

At this rate i will say 7th (and thats being optimistic!)

[DH1875]

Anything short of 4th should be seen as failure. I reckon we'll be lucky to end up tenth.

[Beefster]

We're not as good as last season, as things stand.

8th.

[leggeto]

5th

[danhibees1875]

Solid 4th. We have it in us.

[Squealing pig]

3rd behind the sheep

[Drem]

Sadly, unless there is a massive change somewhere, I feel we will still end up beneath h£*"&s.

[Pretty Boy]

How longs a piece of string?

Somewhere between 6th and 12th.

[Steve20]

9th.

[Ritchie]

Aberdeen will flop this season!!

[Allant1981]

After the game the other night i would have said near the bottom but surely it cant get any worse than thursday night so im going to go for 6th, which isnt great but looking at the squad as it is just now isnt to bad

[Keith_M]

Wow! That's a very wide distribution of votes! I'd have to say, though, that the people that voted we would finish in 12th (or anywhere down that end) are just showing their frustration as I can't see that happening.

Somewhere disappointingly mid-table is most likely.

[Waxy]

Realistic 6th horrifyingly possible 11th

[Eyrie]

Depends on what we do in the transfer market. Add the right players at right back, centre half and right winger, then get Griffiths back in January and we'll be second. Add the wrong players or muddle through with what we've got and it'll be 7th or 8th.

Glass half full - I'll split the difference and say fourth.

[Fergus52]

Fenlon stays: 4th.

Fenlon goes: 8th.

[Hibernia&Alba]

It's so difficult to predict anything with Hibs. Expecting the unexpected sums us up perfectly. If I were to take a punt at this stage, then without Leigh's goals and with the current squad, I'd say ninth.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I see fourth place is just ahead in the poll at the moment. I'd bite your hand off for that!

[Salisbury Hibby]

If the defence isn't sorted we will be bottom 6 and flirting with relegation. However, do that and I reckon 4th/5th is possible. We're not going to be scoring lot of goals so the priority is to stiffen that defence.

Is this never going to go away, he is a Wolves player and will stay one until someone comes in with real money for him. It wont be us.

[DH1875]

Can we do one of these polls but do it to find out what folk think is an acceptable finish and not where they think we'll finish. In a league without Rangers and the yams starting on -15 points I still can't get my head around folk thinking 6th is OK.

He can sign a pre contract with whoever he wants in January.

2nd/3rd should not be beyond us in our expectations.

Playing for 1st should be the aim every single season.

Sadly, however, I think we accept mediocrity. We will probably find people being satisfied with thinking top 6 is a good season.

The satisfaction will continue if we have a cup final appearance where we'll just be pleased to be there and have another nice Hibs family picnic day out where we get to sing a few songs and wave a few bits of paper to show we're the best fans in the world.

Sorry cant be more positive but I just don't think we're going to go anywhere this season and with a relatively low threshold of what is acceptable held by the club.
