How many points from first 5 matches?

[sunshine1875]

Home v St Mirren
Away v Falkirk
Home v Celtic
Away v Hamilton
Home v St. Johnstone

How many points? My guess is that we will go Draw, Draw, Loss, Win, Win - expecting us to start well, but struggle with goals - so 8 points out of 15.

Also, I cannot remember many wins on the opening day of the season. Only one I remember was away at Tiny. Can anyone confirm our record in the last 10 seasons?

We will beat celtic - they are our new bitches . Not too sure about the other/harder games.

Possibly 3 points

Actually, sillyness aside, we're probably looking at 9 or 10 points if we apply ourselves and allowing for our usual start of season slippery ups.

13

Yep, 13 and top of the league. Just a draw with Celtic to spoil our start.

[bighairyfaeleith]

I reckon 10 should be realistic

[Hibby 2005]

9

[nickwhibs]

I'd go for win, win, draw, win, win. Optomistic I know

[Wotherspiniesta]

I see no reason why we can't win them all. 15

[hibs0666]

8

[Steve20]

7

[jakki]

11

[Delboy4]

10 Points

[wazoo1875]

10 from me , however i think we could maybe get 13 if we can hit the ground running . Celtic at home should hold no fears for us , they seem to hate comin to ER more than we hate them being here

[Cocaine&Caviar]

I would be very happy with 9:

Home v St Mirren W
Away v Falkirk D
Home v Celtic D
Away v Hamilton D
Home v St. Johnstone W

[FifeHibby]

10 points

[zlatan]

Realistically we should be looking at 12 with anything against Celtic being a bonus.

We're up against 4 teams almost guaranteed to be bottom 6 this season, if not relegation candidates, and these are the games we've got to start winning consistently.

[MyJo]

10 points

[jazthehibby]

Good chance of 13 IMO

[jgl07]

Anything less than 10 will be a disaster.

spot on

[Oscar T Grouch]

12, possible 13 wi a draw against the smellies but we should really be winning the other 4 matches. GGTTH

[Broken Gnome]

I would kill to win the first two, just to give us a chance of being level or even ahead of Celtic going into game three.

100% start, new manager's first test against the Old Firm, Mowbray's return, live on TV..... would be a fantastic atmosphere. And if we beat them....

Exactly mate spot on.
No time for draws at home to St Mirren or away to Hamilton. Need to win these games!!
Anything below 10 certainly would be a poor start in my book

[Sir David Gray]

We absolutely must win at home against all the non-OF teams and I think we also have to win at places like Falkirk and Hamilton if we have any aspirations for getting into Europe.

So in saying all that, I think we should be aiming for 12 points, maybe 13 if we can get a draw against Celtic as well.

St Mirren-WIN
Falkirk-WIN
Celtic-DRAW
Hamilton-WIN
St Johnstone-WIN

Unfortunately it very rarely works out like that for us and we'll probably end those five games with 6 points or something like that.

That would be relegation form.

[Hibby Kate]

I'm hoping for 12 points

St Mirren-WIN
Falkirk-DRAW
Celtic-DRAW
Hamilton-WIN
St Johnstone-WIN

I think Falkirk will come out with something to prove to Yogi.

[smurf]

15.

[Steve20]

I notice people saying we should be getting over 10 points. Maybe we should be but does anyone, if they are being honest, really believe that we will?

[Judas Iscariot]

Home v St Mirren - 1
Away v Falkirk - 1
Home v Celtic - 3
Away v Hamilton - 3
Home v St. Johnstone - 3

Total - 11

I think we might be caught cold or not be ready yet in the 1st 2 games, Hughes said he was worried about fitness levels for Saturday and Falkirk will be out to make sure they give us a torrid time..

By the time Smeltic come we'll be ready and then that'll be the result to get our season underway
