Cut The Crap Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Cup win and 3rd. Levein to finally show he is capable of outperforming the budget at his disposal. While important to the money men, fighting it out for 4/5/6 doesn't really butter my parsnips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upgotheheads Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 4th in the league must be the minimum expectation.If we get through tonight then I think getting to the final is a real possibility especially if we get ICT in the semi. For what it's worth and as much as I hate to say it I think Sevco are favourites to win the cup now and might be a good value bet for the league. We know that they can beat Celtic and we don't have the pace to compete with their high tempo game, and their cheating wee striker and his referee pals. Having typed that I'm away to wash my hands.

smartin1987 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Cup final win rangers and celtic are beatable not as good as their made out to be. 3rd in the league if we win our next two league games dundee and hamilton away will set us up nicely for games against Aberdeen and hibs at home. All to play for cmon hearts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nookie Bear Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 11 hours ago, StevenNaismith said: With our current team I don’t think we can beat Celtic, Rangers or Aberdeen at Hampden unfortunately. Every time we play on a big pitch against a good side we struggle. Dunno if it’s a fitness thing or a general lack of legs/pace in the team but it’s a problem that needs addressed in the summer transfer window. I don't think it's lack of pace, more that we are too slow to move the ball through the midfield. Our thought processes always seem sluggish and it gives the opposition time to organise.

Nookie Bear Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I'll say something, if Levein can get us beating celtic in a Scottish Cup Final then he can have a job for life and i couldn;t care less about the league for the next decade.

Cruyff Turn Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 1 hour ago, Getintaethem said: We've got the forth biggest playing budget in the league. A fourth place finish and semi finals (given that we've not been drawn against Celtic or Rangers on the road to them), should be the minimum expectation. If Levien doesn't achieve that, then in my opinion he's failed. Of course 4th should be our minimum expectancy in the league however 2 semi finals and 4th would be a touch beyond that as I cannot recall the last time we managed to achieve all 3.

BigAlim Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 (edited) If we won the cup I wouldn't care where we finish, if we don't then a European place. At the moment I just want us to win our games against Dundee and Hamilton because after that we're only going to be playing top six opposition Does the team losing the Cup final still get into Europe if the winners are already in Europe?

There's only one loser in a cup and that's the team which loses the final, up to that point everyone has just been playing for the right to compete in it. Watching your team lose a cup final is a horrible feeling, I'd rather go out in an earlier round as long as it's to a better team and we put up a proper fight. The only time I've ever been content with a final defeat was 2013, when we all knew the money from that game was going to help keep the club alive.

tian447 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 All I want is for us to Qualify for Europe - that should be Priority Number 1. I don't care if we do that by finishing 4th, or through winning the Cup. The Scottish Cup would obviously be a bonus, and I would love for us to come home with it again. Either of those, and the season isn't a complete write off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mercer Takeover Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Cup win would certainly work wonders for season ticket sales and eliminate further supporter bickering over the future of our manager.
