Dogmeat Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 With no Hearts in the league and QotS weakened the standard in the Championship has fallen this season Hearts had practically won the league by February maybe earlier last season despite it being a harder league to play in There is no evidence to suggest this Rangers team is any better than last season Your team is just playing a more attractive style of football against mainly weaker opposition With a stronger Falkirk, a strong Morton team added to the league to replace a dreadful Cowdenbeath team and a consistent Hibs team? If not equal then this league is slightly harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Weaker opposition? You make it sound like the teams have all got worse since last season, this is simply untrue. Hearts were replaced by a top flight team in St.Mirren, one full time team for another. Morton replaced Cowdenbeath and are a significantly better team. Falkirk have improved Hibs have improved The rest of the clubs have pretty much stayed the same and will likely have similar budgets. St Mirren aren't comparable to Hearts Apart from that everything is right and the league seems stronger this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Stronger without Hearts? Stronger with St. Mirren? Stronger with a rejuvenated hibs and a high flying Falkirk side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Stronger without Hearts? Stronger with St. Mirren? No. Clearly not what I said. Hearts are better than St.Mirren so obviously that lowers the league quality. However Rangers have improved, Hibs have improved, Falkirk have improved and Morton are a far better side than Cowdenbeath were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Tennis Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Weaker opposition? The rest of the clubs have pretty much stayed the same and will likely have similar budgets. We've certainly not stayed the same. Last season we took seven points from each of Hibs and Rangers. This season, we've taken none so far from either. I don't see that changing in our remaining fixtures with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRob72 Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Absolutely I think Rangers will get more attention than the other 11 teams put together regardless of how they are doing and I think how well Rangers compete will be down to how much money will be focused towards building that team. Right now you probably only have about 5 players that can take you to the next level above just going up not including the loanees. I think 4th or 5th next season might be a realistic target. Aye that's fair enough, a season long relegation battle naw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogmeat Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 If you look at it another way Morton replace Hearts and St. Mirren replace Cowdenbeath You have a far worse Alloa and Livingston sides There is no challenge for the top 3 places from Queen of the South this season As for the top three I don't see much improvement other than there is no Hearts in the same league to take points of the three teams Livingston are far worse? They have more points at this point than last season. And instead of a challenge for top three from QotS there is one for top two from Falkirk. Hibs have improved and are now consistent. Rangers are rejuvenated this season and are miles ahead of where we were last season. Basically QotS have gotten weaker and Alloa are now bottom because of the loss of Cowdenbeath. Apart from that it has improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Establishmentarians on the pitch and in the courts, we truly are the people. Repeatedly lucky, sometimes by two or three goals. Ally was probably worst manager ever tbf.

He handed in his notice on the day of the 2-0 game, but was still notionally in charge. The team we horsed 3-0 was managed by McCall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 If Rangers and Hibs get promoted then they'll finish in the top half, with top four the target, even with their current squads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Should have better discipline then shouldn't you? Lyle that good at the back? What can you do, if fourth officials who are only there as glorified substitute refs for televised games, decide to grab the limelight and make blatantly wrong decisions that need overturned?Your grasp of football is weird if you think losing a striker only impacts on his team's capacity to attack.
