Was thinking the same. Surprised we managed to finish 6th if that was about the best team on paper!

[CallumLaidlaw]

:agree: that was exactly my first thought! Cheers JC :duck:

Thing is mixu had had 2 transfer windows there and he only has 2 signings there. Although we did bring Bamba & Riordan in a few weeks later (I think)

Maybe shows the importance of getting your signings in before the season starts so you can hit the ground running and gel quicker

I could maybe do the number of minutes played, not so sure about the passing %. :greengrin

I'll do my best, though. :wink:

Must be in with a very good chance to finish higher this year, as nae Hogg!!!!:aok:

Think I'll predict a top 3 finish:greengrin

Van Zanten, Thicot, Keenan and Nish were all Mixu's signings. Only one of Collins signings started against Kilmarnock (O'Brien).

[frazeHFC]

With another two or so signings i believe our squad could be better than those, bar the first one.


Stack

Wotherspoon O'Hanlon Hanlon Booth

Sproule Palsson Thornhill Galbraith

O'Connor Sodje

Fair enough. :not worth

Mixu was more to blame than Collins then :wink:

[hibsbollah]

Good bit of info. What it shows is we havent had a midfield worthy of the name for 4 years.
