    Our next 5 games

    Dundee Away, Celtic Away, Motherwell at Home, Rangers Away And Aberdeen at Home.

    If we fail to win any of these, which is a possibility as we only won one of the original games against these teams, it would be 2 wins out of our last 15. Need to bounce back from today’s result quickly and make sure that we are still in contention for 3rd at the end of these 5 games.

    Dundee and Motherwell should be wins. The other 3 we'll be lucky to get a point from, possibly against Aberdeen IMO.

    We beat Rangers at Ibrox first game of the season, not sure what you mean by 'original.'

    Ah yes you’re right. I’ll edit it now as made a mistake there. By original I mean the last game at that ground eg Dundee Away 1-1 Motherwell at Home 2-2

    IF we don’t win any of the next 5, should questions start being asked of Lennon? I have confidence in him, however if it gets to 2 or 3 wins out of the last 15 then surely the questions must be asked?

    Was simply posing the question. I’m a fan of Lennon and think he’s done really well with us.

    Our next 5 games

    The OP is getting some stick but he makes a fair point. If we fail to win or take any points over the next 5 games we’re in deep farm animal dung! Will people still be backing Lennon in a little over 2 weeks time if we don’t get any positive results from these games?

    Negativity? Simply stating what is a realistic possibility. I’ve already stated twice on this thread that I’m a Lennon fan, however facts are facts and we’ve won 2 out of our last 10 games which is not good enough and it’s a very challenging run of games coming up. Do I have faith in Lennon to tie it around? Definitely. No need for that negativity comment.

    Unless there was a complete meltdown in Portugal by the squad and Management ,there is no chance we wont win one of our next five fixtures and at least draw another ,and that would be a minimum expectation

    Top six finish should be the target for first year in the Premier League. Europe a bonus.

    Let's not look at the next five in isolation, we'll be better placed to judge at the end of the season.

    If, according to the doom mongers on here, we crash and burn, who do we need to get us out of the Championship?

    I give you Neil Lennon, who won it for us last year.

    My opinion is let the man get on with it without constant sniping. Get behind the man and the club.

    There's optimism, realisim and wishful thinking.

    Games we just need to get through, and both Motherwell and Dundee are winnable, then we have a pretty decent 6 game run to the split.

    I'll go DLWLD so 5 points.

    Doom mongers? I’ve stated multiple times, twice on this thread alone, that I’m a fan of Lennon and have faith in him. Don’t see how being concerned about 2 wins out of 10 makes me a doom monger though. Been nothing but supportive of Lennon.

    Dundee and Motherwell are must-wins. We can write off Celtic, and a point at Rangers would be a good result. The home game v Aberdeen is extremely important as to how our season turns out.

    Celtic should not be a write off by any means, they are absolutely beatable.

    I mean ffs hearts hammered them!

    We've taken 4 points in glasgow, taken 4 points from each of Motherwell and Dundee and should have beaten Aberdeen at home.

    Our recent form is relatively poor but we've shown before we can go on a run of decent form.

    Since losing to Celtic in the league cup we've

    Won 6 league games
    Drawn 4 leagues games
    Lost 3 league games
    Lost 1 Scottish cup game

    Not really that bad is it?

    Doesn't fit in with the doom-mongers on here tho mate does it....had we not lost that scrappy late goal yesterday this place would be very different today. It's amazing what 1 bad result does...all of a sudden we r gonna plummet down the division

    Is it not more the case that yesterdays result has brought a poor run of form stretching back a couple of months and 10 games into sharper focus rather than a knee jerk reaction?

    I've certainly seem some hysterical stuff but I've also seen a lot of valid points, positive and negative, over the last 24 hours.

    Dundee a 3, Celtic 1, Motherwell 3, rangers 3, Aberdeen 1

    Totally doable.

    Not when you are sitting in 4th at this stage of the season, with a decent gap to 5th. To merely finish in the top 6 now would be a disappointing season, especially having been knocked out of the Scottish by that lot.

    There are issues I'm not denying it...I've also posted querying what Lennon was thinking about with that line up yesterday and I am concerned at his signings to date. But people claiming what will happen when we lose next 5 games...can we just not wait and give the manager and team a chance to turn it around first

    Agree with this. When you see the rest of the quality in the league we really should be finishing 4th, 5th at absolute worst.

    I keep seeing the excuse "first time back in the top flight" which would suggest we'll add to the squad to build on it...however I'm not overly confident of adding better players to our team than we have.
