Right at this stage do our fans think we are weaker or stronger than this point last season?
I know we are a point in front but I mean squad?
05 Aug 2024 11:29:46
For me I think we are definitely weaker.
05 Aug 2024 11:32:27
We only lost Lundstram that started, replacement Barron, I would say slightly weaker but hopefully that's addressed before the window shuts.
05 Aug 2024 11:46:16
Weaker.
05 Aug 2024 11:47:33
I personally don’t think theirs much difference yet until I see all the new guys play together it’s hard to tell.
05 Aug 2024 12:09:22
Weaker.
05 Aug 2024 11:52:09
Def weaker but hopefully that’s addressed before end of window.
05 Aug 2024 11:52:33
A lot weaker today Storm, I’m not panicking but it’s tough to see a successful season in the horizon. Still a lot of player trading required and then these guys need to gel.
05 Aug 2024 11:53:48
Hey Storm. i believe we were poor on Saturday and should only improve once all the new guys are fit and available. To play as we did, the point was good despite Dessers doing his usual.
I also think that was Hearts at their best and they'll do well to play better against us or the other mob moving forward. Considering we lost at Killie last opener, i'm still hopeful we'll improve and maybe see a difference tomorrow in Poland.
05 Aug 2024 11:55:59
Storm an interesting question, I’m saying potentially stronger b.
McLaughlin Mccrorie jack Roofe contribution zero.
Barisic lundstrum cifuentes very poor and most wanted out
Lammers dreadful
The addition of diomande and Cortez make us stronger as does Barron and Cerny
Replacing Goldson with Pröpper is a very positive move.
Issue they need to gel quickly and we hope Cortez is not an acl or that’s end of obligation to buy
Looking forward move on tavernier Davis dowell cantwell hagi mb dessers would be A good businesss
Bring in four or five starting with Niasse rrhamni plus couple that r in pipe line would be.
05 Aug 2024 11:58:33
About the same. there's been a massive over reaction to the hearts game. Only barron has replaced lundstrum. Proper and cerny to come in shohld make us stronger. Were going to need another 2 or 3 though.
05 Aug 2024 11:59:45
Not much in it I don't think.
Need to get the new guys in and up and running.
Devoid of confidence. PC should be trying to instill belief instead of publicly fawning over players who left the club.
05 Aug 2024 12:02:37
Weaker.
05 Aug 2024 12:02:45
Weaker, basically same team and totally shot of confidence and tactics.
05 Aug 2024 12:07:53
My star, are you forgetting about Sima? Even though he was injured, he was a big player for us, and his absence, along with others, makes us weaker.
We have got consistently weaker season after season since we won 55, and right now, we are at our weakest before SG came in. The club, both on, and off the park, is not in great shape, and if we go out the CL to Kiev (we will imo), then it's going to get worse)
Strap yourself in lads, we are now slap bang in the brown stuff and I don't see it getting better anytime soon.
05 Aug 2024 12:20:48
Thestig it is a bit early because we haven’t seen the new guys. But right at this min I would agree with mystar.
05 Aug 2024 12:25:09
Weaker. I have little hope for the season ahead.
05 Aug 2024 12:32:31
Think the issue we have is a lack of depth in Mid.
It’s clear we have to find a ‘general’. Overused phrase maybe but a player who can dictate play, which I assume was hoped to be Jordan. Think finding a player of that caliber for ‘free’ is tough, meaning it’s likely a loan. Sounds simple but with many clubs not yet fixing their season squads I think there’s a reluctance to let players go yet. Particularly as injuries seem to be increasingly common throughout football these days (see Raskin and Cortez) .
The frustration is really we need that player for CL qualifiers, which I don’t think will happen, meaning we have to currently go with what we have.
So for me utilizing players we have under contract is paramount right now, and needs must outweigh feelings (ie; Cantwell or Hagi), unless these players are literally heading out the door. After all they are still being handsomely paid by us.
05 Aug 2024 12:42:19
Stronger! Aye, John, good one! ???.
05 Aug 2024 12:50:09
Weaker.
05 Aug 2024 13:02:05
John ref ‘end of obligation to buy’ do we have a get out clause during this loan period if Cortes gets seriously injured again.
05 Aug 2024 13:18:24
We have lost a lot of experience and leadership. Lunny and Goldson esp but I trust our gaffer and think at end of window we will look and perform much better. Might be too soon for the euro ties though.
05 Aug 2024 13:19:15
John2561 What position does the two in the pipeline play ?????????.
05 Aug 2024 13:23:40
John don't get confused with the wage bill looking stronger.
Id say weaker. Not one area of the pitch has been massively upgraded.
Defence still has tav and davies so the weakness will remain.
Midfield we are majorly short. What if barron or dio get injured?
Yes cerny is in but we've lost sima so wouldn't call it an upgrade.
Jury is out on all the project players we signed.
Danilo fit gives us another option up top which is a plus but him and igamane probably won't see best of for months.
Bare minimum need 2 midfielders and a winger.
Cb and striker if dessers or davies leave.
05 Aug 2024 13:33:53
Ss, I certainly did forget about Sima mate.
05 Aug 2024 13:53:56
Sunshine do you honestly not know how to read, I say potentially stronger and give my rationale
The guy asks a question, I chose to give my view, you just write crp
Coully yes we as do other teams have get out clause, also remember the player will be insured.
05 Aug 2024 13:55:05
Newman defender and midfield.
05 Aug 2024 14:31:30
??? Good one John. ?.
05 Aug 2024 14:38:01
Big dado where do I mention wage bill in my reply to the question.
05 Aug 2024 15:46:31
Just because you highlighted guys leaving who contributed zero who were out of contract as part of your rationale that it makes us potentially stronger. They haven't been replaced with first team players only projects really. Potentially stronger further down the line if they develop yes. We are a shambles right now let's be honest.
05 Aug 2024 16:27:09
Cheers John ?????????.
