Just a bit of speculation

We have the potential to win the division and should be challenging to do so, mid table isn't good enough.

Agree. Regardless of the opinion people have of Kit, this is a team that should be challenging to win the title. Is there a team with a better squad in the division? Not just first 11 (which you'd be hard pushed to find) but our back ups, especially in midfield are incredibly strong.

McCormack, O'Hara, Cairney and probably Stearman would walk into any team in this league. Pringle, Lonergan, Husband, Richards, LVC, Tunicliffe, Parker are all above average players at this level. The only question marks are if Woodrow and Dembele can finally make the step up to take some pressure off of Ross.

To say that our squad is only good enough for mid table is ridiculous. People wanted players with championship experience, well now we have 6 players who were their teams player of the season in this league in the first team. How good a team at this level are people expecting to get promoted? Outside of us getting Jordan Rhodes up front with Ross, there not a lot more improvement you can make, aside from starting to bring in Premier League players (which people will moan don't have "Championship experience")

Still predict top half and will look to push on from that. But without pace and forwards we will do no better. Although solve those problems and we may well be a good outside bet for playoffs.

current squad and Kit and his current coaching staff in place... nothing else changes.... bottom 8.

but this sort of thing is fluid. If we see genuine improvement in the next four games and some proper stability and structure to the way we play then I would be happy to revise my prediction.

I think 8th. Don't know if that is enough for kit to keep his job. It would be harsh to get rid of him if he does manage 8th. If this squad had been together for a month I would suggest we should finish higher. This is why I get so frustrated at last minute deals. Could be two months into the season for our players and manager to get things right.
