    Let's hope TC sets up to play our best in the 1st 3 games , if we do and we play well then it's win win
    We either get points and those doubters amongst us get our pusses shut for a bit, or we don't in which case it proves we need to bring in better.
    I said 3 cos transfer window is shut 3 days after our 4th game which is Hearts.
    Playing defensive and snatching a point or 2 will tell us f'all.

    Or TA could bring in better now and avoid further shyte on forums

    Had a look at our previous starts to the season in the top flight and its a mixed bag. The starts don't necessary suggest how the season will pan out but it's more how we recover from it if its a bad start. Some seasons gone past I have dreaded the fixtures we got but ended up getting a decent point total (2014/15- Aberdeen, Motherwell, Celtic, County and St Mirren) while other times when we've had "better starts" but have struggled.

    First 5 games
    20/21- 7pts out of 15 (2W 1D 2L) - Finished 9th
    15/16- 4pts out of 15 (1W 1D 3L) - Finished 12th
    14/15- 12pts out of 15 (4W 1L) - Finished 5th
    13/14- 5pts out of 15 (1W 2D 2L)- Finished 4th
    12/13- 8pts out of 15 (2W 2D 1L)- Finished 6th
    11/12- 5pts out of 15 (1W 2D 2L)- Finished 4th
    10/11- 5pts out of 15 (1W 2D 2L)- Finished 4th
    09/10- 8pts out of 15 (2W 2D 1L)- Finished 3rd

    so my prediction
    Aberdeen-Draw
    Sevco-Loss
    St Johnstone-Win
    Hearts-Draw
    St Mirren-Win

    Optimistic or stupid who knows but what we do know is the start of the season is always unpredictable

    Start is massively important.

    I think we need minimum of 7 points from the 5 matches - basically need to beat the sheep as what comes after is not easy

    Come on United !!

    The stats from Darren right before you suggests otherwise, aslong as we get more than 4 pts we should be fine 😜

    Paul McMullen might be 4 out of 10 performance wise for a lot of the match but he does give moments of 9 out 10 which wins matches.

    We have too many 6/7 out of 10 performances.

    This where I am too, but if my zoomer gloomy predictions turn out to be wrong I will be delighted. I will apologise to Shedka ADS and all the others who foretold our success.
    But if I'm right and we struggle at the bottom for the first time in my long posting history they will hear me say I wasn't surprised and
    I FN TOLD YOU
