We need to calm down when we drawI genuinely think we look so confident and comfortable with an arrogance about us that I really can't see why not.
The first time we draw its going to feel like the world caving in around us
Pretty big gap still, I would fancy us in that position.Even should it go to 17 points after 2nd Jan its still only 8 points IF they win their games in hand. Firmly in the one game at a time camp here.
One game at a time. Can’t look further than our next league fixture.Just keep winning our games
Long way to go
I don’t envisage a Jan collapse.Given our collapses from January onwords in the last two seasons I will only start to believe we will win the title if we are a number of points clear come April time.
Whoa whoa whoa down, way, way too far ahead!
Not for me mark we have their number nowOld Firm games are a lottery. What was killing us was drawn games against the supposedly lesser sides.
Another 2-0Not for me mark we have their number now
we will wipe the floor with them imo
they are an unfit shambles of a team
Last season is another countryHave people on this forum completely forgot about last season??
We got similar threads to.this on a regular basis with people getting way ahead of themselves.
We had all the Kerrydail posts taking the piss out of them before we've even lifted trophy.
We've been excellent this season and the performance levels from the players and the manager have been through the roof however, we've yet to prove we can do this over 38 games.
This season does have a different feel to it with an improved squad but as far as I'm concerned we're only 5 points clear with some tricky fixtures coming up.
The most important thing for me is we maintain or even stretch this lead between now and the mentally challenged game in January.
If we move out of February still 5 points ahead taking in games in hand, I’ll start to believe properly. Right now, I’m living game to game!Given our collapses from January onwords in the last two seasons I will only start to believe we will win the title if we are a number of points clear come April time.
Agree 100%That would be 11 points they would need to make up on the other fixtures
I just can’t see that happening
Can we just calm down a bit ffs.
We're not even in December yet and people have the league won already.
People have very short memories. We collapsed last season after doing so well in the first half of the season.
The correct answer irrespective of what are resident "league over " posters say.even then it would be far too early to tell, we might have faith that would be the case, but until it's mathematically impossible to be caught i'll just remain cautiously optimistic.
This. I don't want a nervy finish, I want a glorious march, a procession towards our title at a steady pace, my heart won't cope with anything else!I would like to win the league in double figures if possible.
Keep winning and the finishing line gets closer by the week.This. I don't want a nervy finish, I want a glorious march, a procession towards our title at a steady pace, my heart won't cope with anything else!
AgreedJust keep winning our games
Long way to go
I feel this post above should be given more consideration.Not like we haven't fucked it after Christmas 2 years in a row now.
You've got it in one!!!January is going to be a very tough month for us regardless of how good we've been, Celtic followed by both Aberdeen and Hibs away could see a big lead become much smaller if we let complacency creep in.
The team, management staff and supporters should be united in taking this season one game at a time, focus on our momentum and we could be in for a very special season.
Small targets all season, let the rest look after itself.
Our next games are:
Benfica
Falkirk
Liege
Ross County
Poznań
Winning v Benfica and Liege is key to December. Win those and we can really rest key players v Poznań to prepare for December and hopefully build towards Them first game of 2021. As long as we minimum maintain the current gap im confident we’ll outplay them again
It really isn't as if they make up that point , as well as the others , they would win the league with a poorer goal difference. A better way to look at it is as half a point. Enough if we are on equal points. Not if they are a point ahead.The goal difference is worth a point at the moment.
Its imperative we keep that going .
This is my view too. Match them point for point until 02/01 and that game is effectively the decider.They have a really easy run of fixtures up until the Old Firm game. Don't really see many potential slip ups in their run, even with Lennon still in charge.
We have a far tougher run of fixtures than them.
If the points difference is the same as it is today when we play the next Old Firm and if we beat them, then it would be over. They aren't pulling that back but there's many hurdles to get over before we reach there.
Need to continue to take each game as it comes. The players look incredibly focused which is great to see.
They won’t keep doing it though mate that kind of luck eventually runs out

I am confused, but if you say so. YesIt really isn't as if they make up that point , as well as the others , they would win the league with a poorer goal difference. A better way to look at it is as half a point. Enough if we are on equal points. Not if they are a point ahead.
Not mathematically they aren't but they've always been pivotal months and if we navigate the next two months in a similar vein of form/results I am almost certain we will be champions. It's still an if though so not wanting to get too ahead of myself.People are getting ahead of their selves.
