We’ll be back in the group sections of the League Cup next season for a feast of sensational summer soccer action.
If our name is in the hat for the group draws then that’s a failure in itself. An unnecessary extra load of pressure to get through a group to knockout stages is pretty unwelcome.
Whether it’s Montgomery or a new manager - failure to get out the group stages would likely see NM sacked, or a new manager already facing questions on his suitability and whether he’s another who may not be here too long.
Can’t wait.

I quite enjoy the two away days in the July sunshine, a silver lining of sorts.

I cant see the sense in giving Monty the summer, a pre season prep, a transfer window only to fire him if he fails in the League Cup group stage.
Personally i dont think he's up to the job and this season has been a bit of a disaster which he must shoulder alot of the blame for and take the inevitable consequence. But if the powers that be elect to back him further then they must give him beyond the league cup group stage.
Id get the broom out and give the club a good sweep out now to give us some sort of direction and imetus for next season. At present it feels like we are drifting along aimlessly. We need strong leadership at the top, with a vision and a clear plan of how to achieve that vision.
We're better than this Hibs.

I would hate us to treat it like pre-season again and look to give the full squad game time. We play our strongest side for all games otherwise we are inviting pressure and incurring unrequired risk.

I don’t like the set up of the league cup and it being done and dusted before Xmas. I far preferred the old routine of a straight knockout played midweek, including the semi finals.

I think it is just a bad system.

It will also mean no or few pre season friendlies like our trip to Blackpool this season. That in itself makes me sad as Blackpool was a great weekend away.

This summer will consist of taking my young kids to parks, hopefully playing the odd game of golf and possibly digging out some long retired football boots and sourcing some polish.

I think it's reasonable way to ease teams into the competitive season and to play different teams. It's also more affordable for fans like me who can't go to many games and I'd rather attend these games than friendlies.

For that reason alone it must be treated with respect.
It’s not like our trophy cabinet is groaning with silverware.

4 competitive games where aim has to be to win all 4 convincingly to make sure we`re seeded in last 16 . 2 years ago we had a good crowd against Morton including a big away support and quite a few tourists and hopefully we`re at home against Partick , QOS , Falkirk or other club who`d bring a big support to the ER . Dunfermline away would be ideal as we`d take a big support which is important to build up supporter morale before league starts but if we get Pars we`ll be at home as top seeds play second seeds at home . Friendlies should start at beginning of July so 3 or 4 of them , 4 league cup matches plus home friendly and on to a strong league start while rivals play friendlies or Thursday European matches .
