Genuine question for those who seem the most concerned about 5 draws. 

Assuming our points were same after 5 games would you prefer that it had been based on 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses?

 

 

Not sure if you class me as one of the folk you’re talking to but given the five games were Rangers(H), StM(A),Hearts(A), Kilmarnock(H) & Dundee(A), then probably not in previous seasons but given the percentage of possession we’ve had in the games and the nature of draws where we’ve failed to add another goal or even hold on from a winning position, then yes I am concerned at - what I perceive to be - the amount of points we’ve dropped. 
Having said that I’m not panicking, more frustrated.

Eg  not inconceivable that games played out differently and we lost to Rangers and Killie (were down in both games)

beat Hearts

drew StM and Dundee 

I don't think that the main issue; in any event its academic. Whats more relevant is the manner of those draws. In probably 4 of those games we've been the better team, should have won but yet failed to win any of them.  That and the fact that we've drawn 3 games on the trot having taken the lead. Today we had 16 shots at goal compared to Dundee's 7. However they managed 4 on target, the same as us. Thats been a feature in more than one of our games. The words "frustration" and "concern", but not "panic", sum up the thoughts of a few, including me.

As Ive said elesewhere, I think a big problem next week could be injuries.

With Koutoumbis, Welsh and Stama all going off with some sort of pull/tweak/injury on top of the others we already have (McGinn, Hendry, Slattery, McGhee, Sparrow) then we could be severely limited as to the team we can put out.

Hopefully some of them are just minor/precautions and it wont look as bad as Im projecting.
