What would you consider a successful season?

[matty_f]

With pre-season three days old and the first friendly a little over a week ago, what would you consider to be a successful season?

I’d go for European qualification through a 3rd or 4th finish and minimum of each cup semi final.

[bingo70]

4th or above in the league.

Good cup runs.

Enjoy going to the games as we’re playing on the front foot, scoring loads of goals and playing with lots of energy.

Some good results against Hearts and the old firm sides.

[007]

Getting to the end of the season with the same manager that started it. 😃

[Keith_M]

Winning the League, the Scottish Cup and the League Cup, while playing outrageously attractive football in front of sell-out crowds and beating Hearts four times in the league and once in each of the Cups.


Anything else is just not acceptable.

[hibee-boys]

Qualifying for Europe in the league, irrespective of position, and at least 1 visit to Hampden should be our minimum aim each season.

Probably about right that!

[B.H.F.C]

European qualification and actually enjoying the games again. Getting the upper hand in the derby games.

This.

[Northernhibee]

This year, in the context of last season?

Top six with a feeling of enjoying going to watch Hibs again.

[Stuart93]

Think after last season I’d be happy with getting back up towards top 4.

Making hampden is always good but guess it depends on our run getting there.

[Gordy M]

It changes as the season goes, if we are 3rd up until say Feb, then finish 4th folk will be upset, if we get to semi finals/final and get beat of say Killie , Livi etc or Hearts, again folk will be upset/angry as we saw under Ross. Its just the way of football fans the world over. Expectations change as the season goes on.

[Sir David Gray]

3rd place in the league and getting as far as we can in both cups until we face Celtic or Rangers (hopefully beat them too obviously but we should be looking to win every other cup tie that we play).

Also winning more than 50% of the points on offer in the derbies would be nice too i.e. at least five points if there's three derbies or seven points if there's four derbies.

[Mikey_1875]

For something measurable I would say Europe and a visit to Hampden.

Really though I just want to get the feel good factor back at Easter Road and be entertained in the majority of games. The two can go hand in hand of course!

[Greencore]

3rd and one semi final

[Wakeyhibee]

3rd and 2 x semi final appearances min, means we've beat our realistic rivals in the league. Cups draw depending

4th is still a v good season but successful? I'm not sure.

[The Modfather]

A team that is enjoyable to watch, with pace, energy and players actually running ahead of the ball.

This. That would be the biggest success for me this season after how pish I’ve thought the last few years have been to watch.

[bod]

Both semis & if not 3rd then within 10 points away from whoever is

Sounds pretty good, with perhaps a European visit at the end along with one of them cups, would do for me.
GGTTH

[Jones28]

Europe and cup runs. Winning one is incredible. But we’ve established ourselves as a good cup team. Semis and finals do count for something imo, even if you don’t win. Lots a variables though

[Key West]

Watching a team that was entertaining with a sense of balance and shape, young players getting closer to fulfilling their potential and giving the support something positive to talk about from game to game especially against teams with inferior or equal resources.

[Dr What If?]

I want one of those wee tin pots we play for each season.....just one of the three would be fine, not greedy.

[Dashing Bob S]

Too three and a cup

[Eyrie]

Based on our history, either third or a cup win is successful.

In an ideal world, we'd be unbeaten all season, win the treble and get the Ugly Sisters kicked out of Scottish football.

[lugz]

Top 4 or winning a cup. Give me cup glory every time though.

[Mr. Wonderful]

A successful season for me.

A good home record, wins against our closest rivals and a nice rendition of SOL

Goals scored increased substantially.

Fans and players appreciating each other.

Two or three stand out players who fans love to watch/rave about

European placed finish

Good go at the cups

Feel good factor returned

[The Spaceman]

4th with attractive football should be our goal this season.

Cups are a bonus - we’ve been a brilliant cup team for a number of years, but can’t have that every season.

[Jim44]

At least 4th, plus a semi and hopefully a final. Anything short of fifth place is unacceptable.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Top six.

[Steve20]

Success in the league - top 3 finish. 4th minimum.
Cups - only winning them is success. This whole attitude of ‘getting to a final’ or ‘have a good cup run’ isn’t success. A day out at Hampden is garbage when you lose.
Football that’s good to watch. Not the slow predictable eye bleeding stuff we’ve had in recent years.

So - Top 4, win a trophy and entertain the fans.
