Reilly did a dummy turn down the wing to beat the defender, crossed for Walker to loop a header into the far corner.

My first ever game against the Buns was the first season of the 'new' 10 team premier league in 75/76 season (i think). We drew 5 in a row (including the Tims), lost to St J, then pumped Hibs and Rangers (3-1). I ended up at that time with an inbuilt false sense of security that we'd beat them regularly. In them days, we kinda did though.

Seems to be something that was missed in the discussion, which concentrated on the cross and goal for KVVs header, but the entire move from edge of box to goal was great stuff which seems to have gone un noticed ! On the KVV debate, you could look back on posts from Alexanders time in charge where I complained about how KVV was played. He spent far too much time collecting the ball on the half way line and out on the wings. The guy is a striker and a decent one. He needs to receive the ball in scoring positions in and around the box. thats what good strikers do. Whenj he gets the ball in the right places, he scores the goals. All this 'downed tools' patter is just pish.

C'mon the 'well....lets win this and start looking up the table rather than down it !

4-0 To the 'Well

Welcome to the club Richard. You probably havent't been here since the play off when Marvin Johnson ripped you a new one and you spent the day with a wee petted lip commiting petulant fouls 😃

FFS.

How half empty is your glass ? We were by far the more threatening team in the second half, even on that abomanation of a pitch. Draw was the least we deserved.

I assume he's safe from a sacking thread for at least another seven days now.

Not the best performance but we should have scored at least one in the 2nd half with the three good chances we had. Having said that, thats one of these games we'd prob have lost 2-0 a month ago. 7 from 9 over three games isn't bad at all, with a winnable game coming up next week.

What a fucking free kick !!!!!!!!!!! +

Whoever bought him was clearly a real big spender.......I'll get your coat for you....

Marked safe from 'Kettle' puns for nearly 24 hours now.....this site really has gone off the boil.

He didn't buy that with brew money.......

Imagine the nick of this place if we lose to Killie 🤣

Save this post for later. We're finishing 7th. Hopefully, he can get us on the boil, build up some steam and not end up on the brew.......

On the fishel site now. Come on Grizzly, get the Kettle puns going. You'll be in yur element......

Correct. Willie McLean and then Roger Hynd had Stuart Rennie. Sproat came along with the advent of ally mcleod.

Not sure if it's maybe just me but I can see a massive and obvious difference between the Hammel Bounce and the Kettlewell Bounce. Robinson/Alexander and then Hammel all persisted with a particular formation with a striker playing on the wing and midfielders doing things they weren't suited to, the more it didn't work, the more they stuck to it. Where are all the folks who went mental the last time a Hammy team sheet was read out with Sheilds on the right wing ? What Kettlewell did was look at the formation and change it completely. Extra defender in the middle to make a back three, Goss in the middle where he's more effective and Spittal/Cornelius pressing from the front and tracking back, trying to deliver the ball to one or two strikers in the final third rather than on the half way line or out wide. These changes have taken us to two wins in a row, one of them beating the clear 3rd best team in the league. So, it's not 'just two wins', it's a complete change to the way we line up and approach games. Neither of pre-sacking Robinson, Alexander or Hammel did that, with much more time to do it.

Probably cause 'flow called him about the Aberdeen job...

Not accepted it yet I don' t think. We're all boiling with anticipation, but if he takes it, some of the support will be in their element.

To be honest I'm rather disappointed in the amount of laughing emojis it got. I was sure it was a winning comment 🤣

You'd have to be a total maddie to think they'll be no jokes about his name.......

A week ago everyone was saying that our players were all shite and whover was in charge, we were doomed because of Alexander/Hammels's signings. Kettlewell has managed to prove that the squad we have is capabale of beating the clear third best team in the country, on their day. I think between that and the momentum he has generated, mean that he should be given the job until the end of the season with further discussions to take place depending on where we finish. The last thing we need is another manager coming in now and saying 'no, we play 433, you centre forward, get out on the wing' or some such crap that is based on his dogma or 'football ethos' rather than knowledge of our players or league. Getting the best out of what we have is the key to getting out of this relegation battle.

Jings. A MoM thread that you actually want to take part in. It's been a while 😁
