**AugustaHibs** · 02-12-2009 03:07 PM

What position will we be after the last day of the season?

Can't vote on this as it's still far too early to say. Jan trans window, injuries, suspensions, heavy pitches will all have a big impact. I might be more inclined to speculate mid-feb.

**princecfl** · 02-12-2009 03:14 PM

1st and why not?!

will never see such a poor old firm again and what were 2 points off the pace and lets be honest thats without playin very well in mot of the games so far.

abit of belief and some improved performances from mr stokes,benji and a fit zemmama we have a realistic chance imho

**The_Todd** · 02-12-2009 03:22 PM

3rd or 4th.

I'll go with 3rd cos I'm an optimistic so and so.

**cwilliamson85** · 02-12-2009 03:23 PM

Am I not the only person on here that thinks the governing bodies of Scottish football will find a way to strip us (or any other SPL team) of the title. Match fixing scandals, playing a player without a visa.

I honestly feel Scottish football is that corrupt towards the old firm.

I said 4th BTW.

**princecfl** · 02-12-2009 03:25 PM

nothing but atleast 3rd would be an acceptable return for the start weve had.also maybe a couple of signings in jan,poss loans from aresenal?, would put the finishing touches on the squad.the only potential loss is bamba but we have hanlon and mccann to return so i think were pretty well covered

"Strip" us of the title? The footballing authorities in Scotland are highly incompetent I'll give you that, but if we don't win the title (which we won't) then it's because at the end of the day we lacked the strength in depth both OF teams have not because the SFA decided we're not allowed to win it. The gap is closing, just not as quickly as some folk think.

Don’t put me in with that dirrrty lot!

How very dare you

***Golden Bear*** · 02-12-2009 03:47 PM

Ok - own up - who was the joker that voted 12th?!

***SteveHFC*** · 02-12-2009 03:56 PM

I think hibs will do something this season.

but Eddie May told everyone that Falkirk are technically superior to Hibs...

***.Sean.*** · 02-12-2009 04:06 PM

3rd and a long, long overduue SC win would do

***Keith_M*** · 02-12-2009 04:08 PM

Can't believe so many people voted 1st or 2nd.

I would have put this down to a wind-up from some of our maroon tinted guests but I don't think there's that many.

**Broken Gnome** · 02-12-2009 04:15 PM

4th. As much as some have a feeling that Hibs could do something really laudable this season....

... i have the overriding feeling that although there is no reason why Hibs shouldn't finish third, or even have a half decent effort at 2nd, that something's going to go t!ts up.

A pessimist is never disappointed.

***Sean1875*** · 02-12-2009 04:16 PM

3rd, no chance well finish any higher.

**Beefster** · 02-12-2009 04:32 PM

4th. United will be our major competition this year.

**Baw187** · 02-12-2009 04:45 PM

I put 1st. A little optimism never hurt anyone and for the first time, it looks possible - whether it's probable is the debate.

Lets look at the facts.

We're not at our best. Neither are the OF, and we are all on a par.

If we hit our best, which I think we will with a little January investment and some continued tinkering, we'll push on. Lets not forget, Deek puts that one in against Utd and Wotherspoon's effort against Celtic goes in, we're top. It's that borderline.

What I can't see happening (for the first time ever) is us starting to go on a winless streak. We look really hard to beat so with that as a base, we will win and draw most of our games and, as I say, if we do hit some kind of form, we'll go on winning runs. Celtic and Rangers don't look capable of that at the moment.

So - lets keep the faith and encourage our boys on to title glory.

PS - just gies the Scottish Cup and that'll do !!

That's all we would have needed to be top right now. Ifs and buts I suppose but it says a lot given that we're not really playing all that convincingly.

***Minder*** · 02-12-2009 05:19 PM

Rantic are there for the taking and we have had the rub of the green so far. Voted for 2nd, had feeling before season started we would have a goood year.

**iwasthere1972** · 02-12-2009 05:53 PM

I would be thoroughly disappointed if we didn't claim 3rd spot when you consider how poor some of the other teams are. The only thing that would soften the blow if we finished below 3rd is parading that Scottish Cup down Leith.

I went for 1st. If we play just a bit better than we have up till now we'll win the league. If Rangers (unlikely) or Celtic (more likely) improve then possibly not, but I've seen enough from Hibs to say there should be a lot more to come.

It's optimistic, but tbh the one I can't understand is people voting 2nd. Both OF sides are rank. If you can finish ahead of one you can finish ahead of the other afaic.

That attitude is madness to be fair.

There's something magical happening down Easter Rd way...

**Westie1875** · 02-12-2009 07:05 PM

1st and a scottish cup please (I dinnae want much

)

**Storar** · 02-12-2009 07:06 PM

voted 2nd by mistake, meant to put 1st.

Hibs are going to win the League this year

**NOLA** · 02-12-2009 07:08 PM

i've gone for 4th, think we might lose points in january.

We're two points of the top of the league. Our best creative player imo (Zemmama) has only started 6 of our 13 games. The defence has sometimes been a bit scruffy but we're hardly conceding any goals. And the only striker we've got who is even close to clicking is Riordan.

There's plenty of grounds for optimism afaic. Equally, if none of that gets fixed or improves, and in fact deteriorates we could easily slip down the league.

Our form up till now has us 2 points off the top of the league.
