I think we should look out for Dylan Wells and Luca Ross next season, although that’s not to say that the other boys currently out on loan won’t have developed further.

Questions need to be asked of Daws.

The end of season leaving party is going to be well attended.

I guess we’re better off sticking with the leaky back 5 then.

4-4-2, please. Or any other system with a flat back 4.

LOL ROFL LMAO That’s young-speak, btw.

If we had 11 players with the tenacity of Armstrong and Sparrow, we’d be okay.

Caldwell isn’t to be trusted. That is clear to me now.

In other news, it’s nice to see Celtic fans, the police and stewards mistake steps for seats. Again.

Is this a football forum or what? Fuck off.

Classic. It’s easy to see why you’re divorced.

What about Johnny K? Another Kettlewell and Daws special, not even on the bench.

Our back line is a narrow zig zag. Schoolboy stuff.

Utterly appalling defending for both goals, but what’s new?!

Sparrow the only bright spark so far.

You could blame Caldwell for that.

I can see Caldwell moving on at the end of the season. He came in at a difficult time and I don’t think he’s handled a few things very well so far.

I can only assume Frail has put him on the naughty step for hurting his best pals feelings.

You’ve completely missed the point of my post. According to Frail, surrendering possession wasn’t a deliberate tactic. It just continued to happen because we’re generally shit. And if it was a deliberate tactic, which it wasn’t, then that’s fine, so long as we have the players to make it work effectively and to score more goals than the opposition, which we don’t.

If we win today, the Kettlewell debacle will very quickly be old news, but the former won’t happen.

He shouldn’t have to say anything, although these things always come out in the wash anyway. He’s currently the victim according the press etc, but I’m sure that may change in time. My point was that the media has had a feeding frenzy on what Caldwell said via the resignation statement etc, and not because of anything Kettlewell has said directly on his resignation. Kettlewell’s tactics were indeed shite and Crags has already said his piece on that. The true victims here are our eyeballs. Not Kettlewell.

We now have a 33 man first team squad, not including those we’ve sent out on loan. 10 of these players are loans. Strangely, we now have 11 forwards, with 6 of these being loanees. These are bonkers numbers. But what about the midfield?!

My point wasn’t about stopping using loan players - as I see the value in the system - it was more about not relying on them and/or having 8 of them in at any one time.

Even as Kettlewell’s biggest critic, I don’t think that’s fair to say about him at the moment. The resignation narrative has been led by Caldwell, albeit echoing what Kettlewell told him, but I don’t think Kettlewell has had a fair chance to publicly say his piece as yet.

Another point would be trying to not rely on loan players. It’s something I highlighted last season under Kettlewell. I think I was trying to make the point that loan players should be the exception and not the rule. Plus, I’d rather we didn’t spend our time and budget developing numerous other clubs’ players each season, only for them to bugger off and leave us back to square one, again.
