It’s more about being realistic. Had we had a season like we did 6 years ago there would be plenty to be looking forward to. Alas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win our home games against the top 6 teams outside the old firm. Thats 18 points. 1 win against Celtic and 1 against Rangers. Thats 6 points. Nothing there should be seen as overly optimistic for a club with out budget. It would get us 78 points - that would put us 2nd this season. And I thought I was an optimist 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackLadd Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 The slight upturn in fortunes is cause for optimism but the target has to be just avoid the bottom three. Over 40 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over 40 points. Whose target? Certainly not mine. Won't be Neilson's. Won't be the board's. Won't be FOH. If you think that's a realistic target, good and well, but I certainly don't agree.

jamboozy Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I will tell you at the end of the season what my expectations are, and, what’s more, I will be correct . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerd Muller Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 With our budget, 5th place is the absolute minimum and even then that's a poor season. Semi final of the cups should be the aim. Start winning games at the pishy wee clubs for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nookie Bear Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 How about the team plays to its maximum capabilities every game. If we then lose, then we accept that and move on. Do that and the players and management can be rewarded with a pay packet at the end of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indianajones Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 The target is to stay up. Anything above 11th is a bonus just now. Unless of course we empty the management team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambo_Jambo Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 In all seriousness: - We've finished better than 5th once in the last 10 years. - We've been 3rd or better 4 times in the last 15 years which includes the 2nd place. - We've been relegated, twice, albeit with extenuating circumstances - We have been awful in parts this year. - we all know this squad needs serious work I'll be happy with top 6. Anything more would represent wild success vs our average performance in the last decade. Top 4 should be a stretch goal. Top 6 the goal. Avoiding a relegation battle the minimum requirement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordiegords Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Neilson will be happy with 6th, so will Budge, Targets met. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
