Is Murdo right, do we really expect Hibs to get 2nd place next season ?

Personally, would be happy with consolidating our top 4 place and a cup final.

I think that is what we should aim for however likelihood is Rangers will be stronger and we may be fighting for 3rd.

[Brightside]

The aim was top6 this year....we have over achieved. The aim should be top4 next season with a decent Cup run.

[PatHead]

2nd in the league, a cup final and a semi final in the other cup.

[HibeeHibernian4]

Aim for a better start to the season than last year, cut out the draws against the bottom 6 sides, consolidate a top 6 place by New Year and then push on to challenge for third and/or second. And win a tie in Europe, and make an appearance at Hampden in one of the cups.

[RoslinInstHibby]

Big IF but IF we managed to start the season with the team we ended it with I genuinely don't see why we wouldn't finish 2nd

[Billy Whizz]

Top 3 and a cup for me is my expectation

[Thecat23]

Top 3 or 4 every season should be what we are aiming for now. Plus good cup runs in both comps.

[CorrieHibs]

3rd or 4th, and a cup win would be fantastic.

[B.H.F.C]

To finish the season with something to show for it. Be it a trophy or a European place. Preferably both.

5th aint good enough!

[danhibees1875]

I would be happy with top 4 again.

The last time we were in the top 4 in consecutive seasons was 2004-06, time before that was 1974-76.

Of course, we should be "aiming" for 2nd though. Just my expectations, and level I'd be happy with, are a bit lower.

[blackpoolhibs]

Consolidate what we have, and Hampden for a semi or a final please depending on the luck of the draw.

Don’t be as shallow as them.

4th place for us will see off the Jambos.

[Centre Hawf]

Same as any other season for me. I always go into it hoping that we nick a cup win or at least make it to Hampden, and finish strongly in the league (usually 3rd but 4th isn't a bad place either)

[J-C]

After this season it's what we should be aiming for, yes we'll still be vying with Aberdeen and Rangers for 2nd spot but competition is what is needed in Scottish football, a strong top 4-6 clubs putting pressure on Celtic.

[Big_Franck]

He's wrong, we as a support don't expect second next season. We would be stupid and arrogant to expect 2nd with Sevco and Aberdeen's budgets.

What I expect is for us is to dominate Hertz again, be challenging in the top 4, get to Hampden again and hopefully qualify for the Europa League again. That would be a good season.

[JDHibs]

Top 4 but close to 3rd.
Cup Semi, atleast 1.

This is the minimum standard we should aim for every year going forward. Realistically, Sevco and Aberdeen will both have bigger budgets than us, they will strengthen, we will do well to keep up!

[lord bunberry]

We should be looking to keep the current squad together and adding a few quality players and mounting a serious title challenge. Since the winter transfer window closed we were the best team in the league. What’s wrong with you all? The only thing that would put a spanner in the works is a decent run in Europe. Rangers will be a shambles again next season, and Celtic are showing signs of weakness. Now is the time.
ggtth.

[IGRIGI]

We should be aiming for 2nd and a cup final however expectations should be top 4 and a visit to Hampden.

All depends on how the squad looks like come end of August.

Most likely Killie under Clark won't have a horrid start again and Hearts won't be as bad as this year, still to see how mental Rangers will go with spending.

I don't fancy the playoffs again TBH

[allezsauzee]

I expect to be entertained first and foremost. If we can have some success in the cups and finish top 3 while playing good football then all well and good.

[TelaStella]

Historically after a good season like we’ve had we never seem to match it again the next time but I’m confident things will remain on the up for us. Personally I’d be happy with getting through the first part of Europe or at least winning one of the ties and would be delighted with another top 4 finish. Think we could grab the league cup too if we really go for it.

Europe: win a tie (then rely on luck of draw)
Cups: visit to Hampden at least once
League: top 4

[Diclonius]

Minimum: 4th/5th place, at least one cup QF, even record v Hearts
Hoping for: Compete for 2nd/3rd, at least one semi final, winning record v Hearts
Great season: 2nd/3rd, cup final, unbeaten v Hearts
Amazing season: Win a cup.

[IGRIGI]

A win at Tynecastle wouldn't go a miss ether.

Very hearts attitude. **** them.

[Alex Trager]

Higher in the league and better in the cups

[NAE NOOKIE]

The aim should be to win the league, that should be the aim every season .... we wont, but that should be the aim.

Murdo is wrong, we wont be expecting to finish 2nd ... if anybody is we have got ahead of ourselves ... but if we can replicate the 2nd half of last season then we can certainly be optimistic about our chances. If we were guaranteed to keep this team together then 2nd would be a more than realistic aim ... the problem is we aren't and until we see what we have at the end of the transfer window nobody can predict anything.

For Hibs in any season, never mind next season, the potential of the club should be a European place and a cup semi final as we did this season, if we do that we are entitled to call it a good season.

Any season where we win something is a brilliant season and from that point of view with a favourable draw we have every chance of doing so, in a one off game we are capable of beating anybody and the hope is that we start the season with a team capable of living up to that outlook.
