Where would this squad finish in the prem?

***HH81*** · 25-01-2015 10:02 AM

Watching the game yesterday the players for long spells looked in control and it was a good away performence.

I read a lot about prices on here and how we have to keep them high if we want better players, so how would this lot do in the premiership?

Would we finish top 6? Are we good enough to go even higher?
Would it be nearer the bottom?

Lets face it most teams in this league are not full time.

5th

**ScottB** · 25-01-2015 10:10 AM

Our inconsistent start would have probably done more damage in the top league and made it harder to get on a good run of form.

Probably bottom 6 as per. Conversely, I think if we can go up this year, the confidence from regular winning will do us well.

**Pretty Boy** · 25-01-2015 10:12 AM

6th or 7th imo.

**stoneyburn hibs** · 25-01-2015 10:14 AM

I think top six would be achievable.

***J-C*** · 25-01-2015 10:24 AM

We gave Dundee U a good run for their money earlier and humped a poor Ross C and our poor start as due to the time taken to get shot of Butcher and bringing Stubbs in. Having watched all the Prem teams I think at this moment in time we'd finish top 6 easily and push for top 4.

**#FromTheCapital** · 25-01-2015 10:27 AM

Hamilton are in 5th place in the premier, a few points off 4th and a few ahead of 6th. I think we'd fare similar to them.

Off topic but I just realised how well ICT are doing, only a point behind the supposed title challengers aberdeen and a mere 4 points behind Celtic. Fair play to yogi.

**Del Boy** · 25-01-2015 10:38 AM

Think about 7th or 8th.

With everyone available? As good as any challenging in the top half of that league just now. Aberdeen and Dundee Utd a bit more established as squads just now but I think we woukd be up there. The team is better in open games and we woukd have more of those.

**PeterboroHibee** · 25-01-2015 10:48 AM

Its difficult to say given the quality of opposition we have been up against this season.

I do think the bottom 5 or 6 teams in the Premiership are garbage though, and Id fancy us to be competing towards the top 6 with the quality of first team and squad depth.

***Jim44*** · 25-01-2015 11:31 AM

Mid table, looking over our backs constantly.

**NAE NOOKIE** · 25-01-2015 11:50 AM

From what I've seen of Hibs they seem to play a lot better against teams who open up against us. In view of that I don't think there are many premiership teams we would need to fear. Somewhere between 4th and 8th for me.

**Smartie** · 25-01-2015 11:54 AM

TBH I think we might have torn them apart for their poorer early season form and they might have had a few hidings in the SPFL. In many ways I don't think it's been too bad a thing to build up the confidence at a lower level. Long-term I don't think our last relegation was at all bad for us because it let us regroup and grow the squad/ club again.

I don't want to be down any longer than we have to, i.e. we must get up this season via the playoffs but it may yet prove not to have been disastrous for us.

Impossible to say imo.

**Sir David Gray** · 25-01-2015 01:28 PM

Probably around mid table.

We're not as good as Celtic, Dundee Utd, Aberdeen or Inverness.

I would fancy our chances of finishing above any of the rest.

**Onion** · 25-01-2015 01:34 PM

IMO it''s a big step up to Prem level so, mid table at best. Aberdeen and DUFC have kicked on since Sevco's demise. Their Boards saw the opportunity and have done really well to strengthen their squads/clubs.

**NadeAteMyLunch!** · 25-01-2015 01:38 PM

4th or 5th I reckon. We matched DUFC over 120 minutes and have come on leaps and bounds since then. **** it, defo 4th

This. I think the same applies to Sevco and the yams

**PeeJay** · 25-01-2015 01:48 PM

To me, this team is bottom six at best ... if we go up we will need to make massive improvements to the squad to get into the top four ... that won't happen

***Spike Mandela*** · 25-01-2015 01:54 PM

Impossible to say. Hard enough to say where we will finish in this league.

**Zazu62** · 25-01-2015 02:06 PM

Think we would be a top 6 team .. Think if Stubbs is here for a few years we could do really well

**ekhibee** · 25-01-2015 08:48 PM

Well Sevco have beaten 3 premiership sides already, and we've humped Sevco, so top six finish for me!

hfc rd · 25-01-2015 09:01 PM

Between 5th - 8th.

Agree with this.

We need to keep our feet planted firmly on the ground and continue to improve a bit before I consider us capable of a higher position if and when we go up.

***Bishop Hibee*** · 25-01-2015 10:42 PM

9th. We need to strengthen which I'm sure Stubbs knows and will do if we go up.

**Dashing Bob S** · 25-01-2015 11:03 PM

Top 4. Only Celtic, A'deen & Dundee United are any great shakes in that division.

***matty_f*** · 25-01-2015 11:08 PM

I think we'd be anywhere from 4th down to be honest. We have some good quality at the club and when everyone is fit we have a strong first 11 that would definitely compete with most SPL teams.

***dmc1875*** · 26-01-2015 01:25 AM

I think the state we are in now (not start of season) we would be top six. FWIW Hearts would be too, Rangers on the other hand would be found out and scraping the bottom with the current state/squad they have.

Only teams I think that are better than us on our game would be Celtic, Aberdeen, Dundee United and Inverness and going on the United game earlier in the season we could definitely give all four a game.
