Arthur Morgan Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 They did get that Moriah Welsh on a permanent though and they seem to be raving about him. From what I saw of him in the derby he's similar to Devlin, a hard worker but maybe not the most gifted technically. I guess he will stand out for them because they lacked a player like that previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTweedy Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 On 07/03/2024 at 13:26, Mikey1874 said: It's a good question as to what it takes to get 3rd place. Build a good squad. Hibs look to be 2 or 3 years away from that though they could be lucky if Vente and Levitt suddenly deliver, Josh Campbell and Chris Cadden come back from imjury as better players and they can get a few good loan players like Marcondes. But it's still also dependent on the opposition. Hearts are talking about signing better players as they have more money to spend. Surely at some point Aberdeen might get a good manager. And you can't discount the likes of Kilmarnock and Motherwell. I actually don't think Aberdeen and Hearts are aiming to be the 3rd place club. They have higher ambitions. Hibs need to start thinking about aiming to be a top six club. The 2nd bold bit is absolutely a fundamental factor in the answer to the question. I'm very much in the camp of 3rd not being fully done and dusted this season yet (although I'm very confident that we'll get the job done!), but we're heading towards breaking the 70 points mark this season, and that's after a poor start where we only took 11 points from our first 10 games. Obviously, it remains to be seen if we can keep this form up to the end of this season and into next season (particularly if we have group stage European football next season) and beyond, but if we can, and we're consistently hitting circa 70 points, or even pushing 80s, which we'd be looking at this season if our start had matched the rest of the season, that's a very high benchmark for h1b5, the mutton molesters, or anyone else with aspirations of getting 3rd, to reach. It's a very different story to last season, where a very mediocre Aberdeen were able to take advantage of a poor season from us and finish 3rd with only 57 points. Tbh, while of course I want to see us getting at least 3rd ourselves all the time, if we're sustaining that sort of level ourselves, it would actually be tremendous for Scottish football on the whole if another club was also able to reach that level. In fact, it would probably mean the Glasgow arsecheeks were seriously in play, as whoever else was getting towards the 70 points level would almost certainly have to be taking some points off them, as we'd almost certainly be having to too.
