Blame Grizzly.

At the moment it's underwhelming. On the downside Top manager leaving + top players left/leaving + small squad + injuries are a tough part of the equation. One the upside Adding Alfred + 3 signings by mid July. Observations Injuries to Jonny, SOD, McGinn, Hendry & McGhee - no suprises there ,majority often pick up injures or getting on. Conclusion None of the above was unknown or surprising. What we've to date secured isn't sufficient. Without a competitive ball being kicked it's very difficult outline how we'll be competitive for top 6. Hoping and willing to be impressed with a surge of quality coming through the door but so far it's underwhelming.

Great input. 👍

If ma auntie had baws she'd be ma uncle.

If we finish 6th with a decent cup run I will be more than happy. Alfred has a tough gig on his hands

It’s more likely than not that next season won’t be the same as 25/26 in terms of quality of football and overall league performance and as I’ve already said that’s fine. It would be a very tall order, unrealistic even to expect it to be the same. However if we are humiliated in Europe which is a distinct possibility and start the season on the back foot from the word go and our domestic form is also poor resulting in us involved in the relegation dogfight, or worse actually being in the playoffs or relegated, then that will be hard to be looked on as anything other than a disaster of a campaign. On the other hand a solid if unremarkable season with a league finish anywhere between 6th and 10th wouldn’t be disastrous.

Got my ticket for Fridays game and there’s not many/any left in the centre part of the main stand. Might be a decent crowd in. I’ll be happy if there’s a sign that we are playing in a similar fashion to last year albeit looking pretty raw and I fully expect a bundle of mistakes. I look forward to the many mutterings of “it’s just not the same” from the crowd.

Jeez, you lot are a tough audience lol

I suppose disaster is subjective here. For me, going out of the UCL at the first hurdle, given who we're playing and what this team achieved last season, would be a disaster. Especially as I think it would negatively colour the rest of the season before it's even begun.

Predictably, any hint of concern on this forum is dismissed with the usual pantwetting patter. I suppose that's easier for those with the self-awareness and critical faculties of a toddler than actually engaging with the points being made.

Relegation or liquidation? If it's neither, then I'd suggest nowhere near a disaster.

Invest in pampers

The omens certainly aren’t good at the moment. Last season’s squad decimated with more departures to come, a small squad riddled with injuries, a very young manager just in the door having to deal with all of the above and all this just a week before a European tie. It doesn’t look good.

If I win the lottery I'm opening two next to it and call them the Reich ....

I’m afraid this season already has disaster written all over it for me.

There's a pub in Wishaw called The Reich?

I think there’s a spare seat in the taxi !

This one will be the first, the player you mentioned was Franz Resch signed 1997. That said "third" would be a good if not a bit controversial nickname for Reich if he signs.

There is no chance of a Billy cross keys.

Definitely, standard getting worse. I am not a Wellman.........ba boom

In a nutshell.....yes Grizzly nae mates 🤣

I did say on the books ! I made no comment on their usefulness 😃

Franz Resch but points for effort...

Did we not have a Franz Reich play for us before? Add Jake Reich to the equation and he’ll be our second. i wonder if we’ll ever have a third Reich

Don't get out much nowadays do you bud. Football on a Saturday and that's it. 🤔
