I don't think we should be optimistic about the coming season!.....

    I'll be happy if we play the nice attacking football we did last season without as many defensive disasters, and 52 points minimum. A few nice goals and the occasional penalty wouldn't hurt either. Hopefully we can also see more of these promising young players make more appearances.

    SD is saying all the right things about attacking football, keeping possession, and going forward...fingers crossed!

    I just get a feeling a certain MS might come out of a shadow and score 20 this year so I think 57 points!!! Always been an optimist :emoticon-0103-cool: 57 and a cup semi will do nicely.

    But certainly it will be a great ride. Can't wait for it to start now :emoticon-0100-smile

    My expectation is survival my hope is promotion, I agree that MS may well step up to the plate. Danny has shown the path and Dychey made it clear that that path is available for those who want to tread it so whether it be with us or others success will be rewarded on a personal front with a prem opportunity if you're good enough. I think we'll score and leak fewer this year and if I were the coaching staff I'd be working with Scottie on organising his area, this season is a pivotal one for the lad and I would imagine his last as no1 for WFC, either he'll excel and get his prem opportunity or he'll fall back to second choice be it to Bond, Gilmartin or an incomer.

    I am quite optimistic this year in terms of us being able to avoid relegation. Our defence last season was a mess at times and Loach will not have as bad a season as last year, so I agree with Aberdeen in that we should concede less. we have a bit of money to spend, so we can adjust our targets depending on who we bring in, with the priority having to be a left-back and a striker.

    Good points above! We would have to go some to score and leak more goals<yikes> I think Sean will bring a bit more sanity to proceedings , Left Back and striker in as bare minimum!

    look at this bloody thread, 56 points.... whatever i'm looking at the playoffs minimum. As far as i'm concerned we have decent players that (most of the time) give it their all. Each year we prove the (boring and predictable) critics wrong!

    it's good to aim high, but realism has to get involved sometimes ;)

    New manager, new assistant, best player sold, not much money for other players - we should win the division by a clear 20 points no trouble
