Jumbo Whiffy Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 ......I also remember our fans clamouring for Danny Lennon's head and look how that turned out. We fans can be very fickle. Only in the hope of him being replaced by someone better. Not the next cheapest option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whydowebother Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Our manager predicts we will challenge for the title... Unless of course i just made this up? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33766741 At this moment in time , it'll be for most goals conceded and least scored. I don't subscribe to the theory we should still be putting the main part of our squad together after we have played perhaps 3 or 4 games. I would of thought getting off to a decent start for any team hoping to challenge was important. I think it's okay to add a couple of squad players ( yes I know effectively they all are ) to the club after the season starts , but your team core should be in place preseason. Like most I want us to do well , but as it stands it'll need a monumental performance to get anything out the opening game , I think as it stands it's a case of how many will they score ? Start at 4 and you won't be far wrong. Gies a signing ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddie Marvelous Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Looking at our squad, there's no doubt in my mind we should be winning games in this league. My prediction was 2nd place. I think it's going to be a long hard season with us finishing in mid table. We took far too long to assemble our squad and we're still fannying about with it!

I think it's gooing to be a long hard season with us finishing in mid table. We took far too long to assemble our squad and we're still fannying about with it! Couldn't agree more. We have the third best squad in the division yet have only 5 points from 6 games. Far too early to talk of regime change but we need wins and need them soon.

linwood bud Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Why is it to early to talk of regime change? I'm not convinced about (waterboy) Mark Spalding. Apparently he only took up a post at Dumbarton helping out with the cones, bibs, water bottles etc on a voluntary basis a couple of seasons ago. Granted he did have all his badges, but he had never been round a club until then. After buzelin left to join Hamilton he was made No.2 at Dumbarton, much to the players surprise, this also coincides with a slump by the sons and a few of their fans saying they were happy Murray left. Now a few months later he is our No. 2, I'm wondering if we should get a more experienced man in with murray, like Danny did when we got rid of Jenkins?

ss39Lavety Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) I see people complaining about Spalding as he hasn't played football. But didn't Jose Mourinho start as Bobby Robson's translator? There is always a slight risk I guess that Spalding will turn out to be unlike Mourinho in some key areas... In terms of predictions...and based on the early games, I'd say that SMFC will be battling it out with Raith, QoS and Morton to decide 4th - 7th place. Livingston, Dumbarton and Alloa I predict will battle it out for relegation. The Rangers will probably do a Hearts, Hibs and Falkirk will contest the second playoff tie.

scottd Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Looking at our next 7 games we have Hibs twice, Rangers and Falkirk again. We'll do well to a single point from those. I felt optimistic after last week but yesterday was a monumental kick in the baws and a relegation battle beckons if we aren't careful. Shame because we have decent players who are being poorly led.

TsuMirren Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I see people complaining about Spalding as he hasn't played football. But didn't Jose Mourinho start as Bobby Robson's translator? Hahaha hahaha...oh that was good. Just imagine, for a second, the difference in the teaching and what could have been picked up. I just think Murray turns and says "damnit, look at the space between attack and defence. What to do though" to which Spalding goes "ooh, aye, erm, I'm sure I printed out a piece on just that. I'll...oh shit, the printer was out of ink..." and walks forward "squeeze it lads". Murray moves in "Great advice...". We then see everyone aside Thommo defending our own 18 yard line.

elvis Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) We will Finnish 7th possibly 8th there is no chance of us being any higher we are as I have been saying for a very long time not very good .I thought we would do OK this season but having watched us three times there is no difference this season we are still utter pish .

Gordon Urquhart Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 One point from nine at home so far suggests we will be fighting it out nearer the bottom than top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenziebud Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Rangers will win the league Hibs, Falkirk and St Mirren in top four. We are better than all the rest and that will show over the season. Form at the end of the season going into play-offs is key also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 What makes you think we will finish below Falkirk? They finished 5th last season and have since lost their top scorer and a couple of their other top players. Their fans don't seem confident about the season ahead at all. I would pick Houston as the most likely manager to get sacked early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 We'll finish 3rd. At least 20 points behind Sevco and 10 behind Hibs. I would think it's 7th , 50 and 25 now Dave , if we're lucky ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More the point about not having to be a former player to be a success as a coach...many great players have failed as managers, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
