    Too inconsistent. On our day we’re impossible to live with but we need to be like that more often.


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    One game away from decent (ie - the loss to St Johnstone today)

    No toms h points dropped

    St Johnston x2
    Aberdeen
    Hearts
    Livingston


    Lack of want to have a shot at goal and strikers in the first team. Let’s sing a left and right back that cant even get on the bench.

    average 1.63 pts a game.

    that'll take us over 38 games to 61 points. is that good enough? I don't know.

    Clearly not. It's the exact same as the first half of last season.

    Should've beaten Aberdeen and st Johnstone twice. Would look very different.

    Not good enough so far. 2 absolutely diddy clubs above us.

    Expected I would say. Our squad look short of at least one forward and that was known at the start of the season. We have too many similar players in the midfield and we have been unlucky with injuries. Before a ball was kicked lots were trying to figure where Boyle would play if SDG was playing and even with El Capitano out Boyle is still playing in a position where he is not very effective. Signings have been OK with Mallan and Bogdan good, McLaren and Flo good acquisitions but not able to get two fit at the same time and Jury out on Horgan and Hyndman. Milligan looks good in the middle but I don't think he is as good as our regular centre halves and he seems to play there even when some of them are fit.

    I think where we are is just about right for the squad and the injuries.

    Not brilliant to be honest. We need our injured players back quickly. Hopefully we can bounce back next week but Pittodrie's rarely easy.

  16. #15
    Voted not good enough, but its pretty tight. Bottom line though, if Aberdeen win their game in hand then we are equal to or behind every team we should be challenging - ie not good enough.

    I've stuck my neck out and said yes, because although on paper the points tally isn't good enough, as last season proved (and as the yams and Celtic are now showing), the early months of the season often count for little come the business end of the season. Despite today's dreadful result we're still very much in the mix for a top four spot and hopefully we can kick on again in the new year.

    Had we had a more settled team of our first choice players then we’d likely be in a different position.

    Be good to have fully fit players, especially:

    Hanlon, SDG, Porteous, Kamberi, McLaren, McGregor, Agyepong, Marciano.

    Yet our biggest rivals are 8 ahead having a lesser settled side and even more players out?

    Why would you like Marciano back in? What has Bogdan done wrong?

    Bogdan has been great, but was brought in as back up to Rocky.

    And they haven’t had Europe to compete in.

    My biggest worry this year is that we seemed to more often than not only be capable of beating the teams right at the bottom of the league.

    12 of our 18 points have came from wins against Motherwell, Hamilton, Dundee and St Mirren the bottom four in the league. The Killie game is the exception as they were already playing well which was a great win but could have went either way. Decent point at Tiny, draw against Aberdeen who were honking at that time and draw against St Johnstone added the other 3 points.

    We are a middle of the table team at the moment on merit and slightly under performing mostly due to injuries. We need a good January window to get into Europe imo

    So that's made us stronger in that area that our second choice has turned out to be better than our first choice. Only area we've improved in. Bogdan is class.

    Not confident about the upcoming season

    I think this sums it up. A bunch of decent wins against very poor sides is the story of the season. The highlight is a win against Kilmarnock (and it is a home win vs a rival that we should be well ahead of financially). Against our other rivals we have done somewhere between OK to slightly dissapointingly.

    If we can get the new guys fit and into a system of playing that works, we may get some improvement and challenge for the top 4.

    It's not unlike last season. A bit wasteful and a feeling that we could or should be doing better.

    We look disjointed and like a collection of individuals rather than a team, but there are certainly positives.

    I don't think we're far away from being a good side, and the correct tweak in January could see us having an excellent second half to the season.

    Injuries to key attacking players in a squad that lacks depth have been very costly.

    We got lucky with injuries last year, and haven't been so lucky this season. I reckon our fortunes going forward depend on this as much as anything. That, and clearly talented players like Hyndman making the kind of contribution of which they are capable.

    Table is very tight and I don’t think a lot will separate 2nd - 6th right up to the split, happy enough with where we are but a disappointing week. Getting Kamberi and jmac starting together fit is what we are missing

    Happy enough?

    With our budget we should at least not have to rely on a 19 year old defender and be panicking if he doesn't play.

    "Finds" like slivka, hyndnan and Horgan need to start playing or we are buggered.
