Where would we finish in SPL?

[Holmesdale Hibs]

What's everyone's thoughts on this? Watching how even the semi's are and the way we've played in the cup competitions, I think we'd be a decent mid table side and we have a better team at the moment than we did for the last few years in the SPL

[Fergus52]

4th easily.

The way Stubbs has us playing would be far more effective in the SPL than against teams who defend narrow with 11 men behind the ball

[DH1875]

Reckon we'd be better than mid table.

[neil7908]

Yes we won yesterday but if that was a league game we would have drawn with the worst team in the league and been lucky not to lose over 90 mins. Before we started on this iffy run I would have said easily challenging for a European spot. Now I'm just not sure

Let's worry about where we are the now

[heretoday]

About fourth bottom.

[Steve20]

Anywhere between 5th and 11th. All pretty similar in the SPL.

[Ringothedog]

This "iffy" run we are on is 3 wins, 2 draws and a defeat in our last 6 games, 4 of those games were away from Easter Road. We are not playing well but we are slowly turning the corner.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

9th or 10th I would say.

[Lancs Harp]

Think the present team would do ok in the SPL. Teams would give us more space to play in. I think we'd finish sort of 6th/7th

[Thecat23]

3rd.

[Galahibby]

2nd. Or 3rd. Or 12th. Gave up making predictions involving Hibs years ago.

[hfc rd]

5th

[bigwheel]

Think some are getting carried away...we don't score enough goals to be particularly high in the top league. My guess is 6th of 7th with current squad ...

4th.

[Keith_M]

Bottom half but safe from relegation.

Laughable to suggest 4th easily it really is,do you watch Hibs?

[sleeping giant]

Really hard to say.

Going by our form against SPL teams this season I would say 2nd/3rd but more than likely 7th

[Toldo123]

Is not relevant.

One of the reasons I believe that we have underperformed in the league this season, is the players thinking they are better than they actually are.

I have heard stubbs say on several occasions "we are a premier league team in the championship". In my mind he should be saying exactly the opposite. We are only a premier league team once we have reached the premier league and not before, and it is up to the players to show that they are a premier league team by being good enough to get promoted.

[Sir David Gray]

Earlier in the season, we would have been easily in the top half but over the last couple of months, we would struggle to stay above the play off position.

We don't score enough goals.

It's all about perspective.


For instance, if you think our current form includes only the last three games then, after 90 minutes, we've drawn two, and lost one. Scored two and conceded three, with the opposition being a team challenging with us to get promoted, a team already relegated to League One and a team as good as relegated to the Championship.

we've played the teams that are second and third and twice played the team that was 4th at the time.

We were the better team in every game, except maybe Aberdeen which was quite tight.

We would score far more goals against teams that give us a bit of space, rather than the 11 men behind the ball we play against every week in this league.

have a word if you think that Killie, Partick, Hamilton, Motherwell etc have better players and a better manager than we do.

The league table does not lie.

We are currently third in the lower division, so one can only assume we would be near the very bottom of the Premier League...and judging by yesterday's performance against Dundee United, the current relegation favourites, that would be about right.

When we deserve to be in the premier League, then I'll worry about where we finish there.

[LeithMike]

I think we would have started well but as teams sussed the way we play and the lack of goals from midfield the points would have dried up and we would have slid down the table. How far I am not so sure but it might not have been unlike our last season in the SPL. I'd be worried how the current team would do in the SPL without a radically different tactical approach.

In saying that, I think, with the addition of a couple of wide midfielders and a flat 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 we have the nucleus of a squad that is more than capable of challenging at the top of the SPL. It would need a different approach from the management though.

This. I have no idea

[ArmadaleHibs]

Seriously. Two weeks ago we got beat by Alloa. Why do we have these threads after a win. Let's just try and get out the league were in before talking about how we would do in the top flight.

[Phil MaGlass]

As someone above said i would say 4th easily. Our team have difficulty breaking down 11 men behind the ball. Premier league teams play more attacking and thats how we are set up

Eight days ago we lost to a part-time side who will be playing in the third tier of Scottish football next season.

I don't need to have a word.
