Obviously we don't know starting xi or subs for Sunday but can I just put out an appeal that we don't actually boo any of our own players? Just my own view but I found it embarrassing to hear SOD being booed when he came on. Now I don't know the lad personally but apart from not playing well I don't know what he has done to cause so much anger amongst some fans unless I am missing something. If players playing badly then booing them isn't exactly going to help. Anyway let's create a great atmosphere on Sunday and hopefully get another great result. COYW

Not only that, but any regular viewer of the EPL or English Championship will be served up their fair share of mince. Sky is just better at convincing you it's steak.

The players up’d the effort on Wednesday night and by quite a bit. So much so it was night and day from previous matches. The crowd could see that and responded accordingly. So the players are at least tying to turn things around. Up to the fans to do their part now and support and encourage the players even if they don’t like them or if they are struggling. We have to keep everyone, players and fans alike, all going in the same positive direction so Grizzly’s post is spot on. Let’s get behind the team and give as much vocal support as we can! You won’t hear me but I’ll be up for 6am kick off watching it on the Telly roaring them on and getting an earful from the wife for being so loud so early on a Sunday morning.

I was in a meeting with my colleagues down south today and one supports Peterborough. He didn’t rate McCann as a manager and said their fans slaughtered him every week. So I’m not sure why so many here have a high opinion of him? I’d never heard of the guy. let’s face it, it’s absolute pot luck in our position when appointing a manager? We might get lucky and get a manager that just fits the club and he gets a bit of success. McCall fitted for a while and he had been a resounding failure elsewhere, similar to Robinson for a period. I can’t really ever remembering a manager that fitted straight away and was loved apart from Davie Hay. We have rose tinted specs for wee Tommy as well. His still of football would make your eyes bleed. Duff signings every year, palmed off cast offs from his brother. His success really came from a bit of luck getting cooper who changed everything for me about the way we played, Bobby russell to an extent too. Whoever gets it, kettlewell, McCann, hughes….. whoever…. It’s a lot to do with luck if they are a success or not. We can’t really judge who will be good or sh1t…

We don't have 5k of a core support, more like 3 maybe 4k on a good day but that's no excuse for not getting behind the team so I hope the fans do just that and support them, as long as the team do their bit as well.

I'm not a fan of latin per se.

His contract expires in May 2023 so the club should be doing everything possible to offer him an extension and encourage him to sign it. Early indications point to him becoming one of our best ever homegrown RB/RWB.

oh n he doesnt scrstch his head n say disapointed / disapointing

I think that's just a modern football thing rather than an indication of instability at a club. Before Alex Miller in 1983, St Mirren had 8 managers, including him they've since had 18 or 19. I'm guessing a few other clubs would be similar...

Scottish football is what it is. It's a league where most players are paid the equivalent to lower league wages down south, and if you remove the Old Firm from the equation we're a league befitting the size of our country. I think sometimes fans up here see the stuff on offer on Sky and draw comparisons, which is totally unfair.

I've seen the "cheap option again" patter trotted out a few times now, with Kettlewell and Hammell before him. Here's my question. What does that mean? I can understand fans saying that when it's a club owned by a rich individual or whatever, and they're not keen on throwing away millions on a manager, but that's not where we're at. What benefit would the board draw from sacrificing the right candidate to save a few quid? Why would we go for "the cheap option?"

Sadly that’s true. If I see a player not quite on their game I encourage him not abuse him. Some of our fans need to get a grip the abuse is way over the top. COYW

Hopefully the singing kettle will keep us on the boil until the next permanent manager is appointed. If he keeps picking up points, then he could well be that man. Those expecting any form of silky-football between now and the end of the season may want to find a new wee hobby to keep them busy on match days. Those attending should bring wee plastic bags for the previously referred to dog shite. And talking of shite, in aboot the Hertz lads.

If that’s the case then hopefully he can help us avoid relegation before he goes and we get a decent sell on clause when he goes.

Do you have a right choice?

We have went from a great 3pts to "aye but we played rotten", the points was the priority. I don't think kettlewell is the long term solution as I think a couple of bad results and folk will be lik ",aye..told ye so" However what I will say is he spoke very well, he tweaked the formation to balance the opposition and he was animated on touchline and had more of an idea than Hammell who looked like a rabbit in headlights on the touchline. At this moment in time I am not expecting flowing silky football. We need points and to move up the table so deal with that part first. If Kettlewell can get us on a run then we all be smiling. I would rather have him than Holloway which just looks like a disaster waiting to happen. Grant McCann would be my choice as a decent record down south and hopefully lots of contacts. I know I can hear folk comparing him to Alexander but we have no idea what style of football he would bring. COYW

I see folk saying not Kettlewell but not giving us any actual alternatives.So please enlighten us with decent alternatives that might come to us?

Agree 100% can’t believe the clamour off the back of one game. Where I thought the football was utter dug shite. Only thing I saw that was missing from under hammells last few games was a bit of fight . beat off hearts this weekend and I suspect the furore around kettlewell will soon dampen

try dip in the last 14 weeks and your a wee bit nearer the mark

They didn’t teach that in woodwork and metalwork classes at my school.

People just see a big guy and automatically assume he will be good in the air and put himself about. He didnt win a header all night and you wouldnt have got a newspaper under his feet during most of his challenges. That doesnt overly bother me as he was good with the ball into his chest and feet and was able to lay it off to others. Probably more a case of us learning what he is good at, rather than demanding he do stuff he is not.

That's a point I was trying to make earlier, On here and FB when team announced there was a pile on on Goss, especially...there's noone else in the team can spray it about like him, his pass for second goal, a prime example. When we aren't winning people want to have a pop at less physical players , anyway well done to the whole team Looked a lot more solid at back, Sunday will be stiffer , would take a point.
