Genuine question for people backing the manager ( u know who u are )

if the results & the standard continues…..

how long before u realistically turn?

(for the record I don’t see him turning it but I’m genuinely interested in how long)

End of this month( 3 more games)

Our league performance under Johansson to date:

HOME P4 W1 D1 L2 GF3 GA6   
Falkirk D 0-0
Dundee Utd W 3-0
Aberdeen L 0-4
Celtic L 0-2

AWAY P5 W1 D1 L3 GF7 GA10 Hibernian W 1-2
St Mirren D 3-3
Rangers L 0-1
Dundee L 1-2
Kilmarnock L 2-3

That’s 5 losses on the trot and a win rate of only 22%.  On top of that we’re losing close to 2 goals per game so we need to score 2 goals per game just to get a draw and 3 goals to win but our current scoring average is only 1 goal per game.

Our next 3 games are:

25th Oct Hearts (h)    
28th Oct St.Johnstone (a)   
31st  Oct St. Mirren (h)

That takes us to the start of November. For me, we need to take at least 6 points from these 3 games. If we don’t then I think it will be time for him to go. Meantime, the board should be exploring options as to who they will replace him with should it come to that.

I agree with your overall assessment Grew.

In terms of our record to date, I reckon the Dundee United win is a known unknown. Would we have won if they'd kept 11 men men on the park? We'll never know. 

However, I'd settle for 5; most likely draw against Hearts and St Johnstone and beat St Mirren. On paper thats achievable. 4 points would answer little. Less than 4 and I'd say AJ was on borrowed time, but not quite there. 

We also need to take into account performances. Will they improve or get even worse? A lot of these games are down to very fine margins as we saw on Saturday with Killie benefitting from spadefuls of good luck. We on the other hand, are taking a shotgun to our feet.

He’s got until the end of the month to prove his worth.

After the st Mirren game was where I felt it should be reviewed ( thought we had 4 of 5 winnable before Celtic )

almost more frustrating that all of the teams seems to be performing poor or taking points off each other 

any sort of run takes 4th in the league

Its 9 games in, 29 to go and 87 points on offer ffs, technically every one of the 12 teams can potentially win the league.

So its time we all relaxed and dropped the manager must go, we are getting relegated chat, and lets see where we are in 10 games time at the halfway point.

Don’t think anybodies said we’re getting relegated ( currently I do think we’ll be down there though come the end of the season )

it’s the performances that are the concern 

I’ve still not seen anybody on here point to 1 positive to suggest it’ll turn 

not saying it will but if the unthinkable happened where we took no points from the next 3 ( we won’t from hearts in my opinion )

you’d still blindly leave it til the halfway point?
