This season however I am worried about......
ICT, Ross County and Partick Thistle and maybe Falkirk and Dunfermline.
Do you think Ray's Morton will finish above us.
Ayr United maybe too.
I am confident we will finish above Alloa.
Not sure about QoS.
I think it will be a close league this year but the teams you mentioned are nothing to fear.
We need to establish a winning mentality early in the season. Look at St Mirren and how many games they won by a single goal, or came from behind to win. That mentality and desire is what we will need this year as there will be a lot of close games.
County have money. They will get most of the players they want, summer & January.
Partick are ‘starting over’ and I don’t think they’ll be top 2/3.
Dunfermline are losing key players.
Falkirk have Hartley.
Inverness will fancy it, no doubt.
All these sides will take points off each other & it will be tight. Our thing will be taking 3 points on the road against the top 4.
4 trips to the Highlands, that’s 12 points that will decide who’s up there.
Alloa sterner opposition than Brechin?
But Ayr Utd unlikely to be our Dumbarton (bogey team)?
I'll go with -
United
Thistle
County
ICT
Dunfermline
Morton
Falkirk
QotS
Ayr Utd
Alloa
winning at home could be the key which will involve the fans, no pressure lads, Fortress Tannadice 2018/19.
I do think the division is stronger next season
I’d put main rivals as Ross Co, ICT, Partick, Dunfermline, Falkirk and Morton in that order
The division will be very competitive this season, there really will be no easy games.
However all the teams play a similar battling style relying on the basics of long balls, plenty of crosses, hard tackling, energy and workrate.
If we match up to it (for once) we have a good chance of winning the league imo.
3 recent ex-Prem teams - Partick, Ross Co, ICT
3 C'ship stalwarts - Pars, Falkirk, Morton
3 'easier' opposition - Alloa, Ayr, QotS tho that's a wee bit unkind on the latter but trying to pigeon hole them in threes.
Dunno why your worried about dunfermline, they've hardly got a team, we'll finish 11th 🙂
