Looking at the December fixtures - Aberdeen home and away, Hibs away, Kilmarnock away, celtic away, Motherwell home - I wouldn't rule out us being 5th or 6th by the end of the year.
My worry is that every mistake and every bad signing takes us further away. We really cannot afford any more mistakes. The recruitment of managers and players in the last 2 years has been horrendous and very expensive. Difficult to keep going to the fans every summer with another rebuild and project.
