I don't know what Kelly does behind the scenes, or how much stock he puts in being captain. On the face of it, taking that pressure away so that he can focus on playing could be a good thing, but it could be counterproductive. I'll disagree with the "vocal" thing. What they say, and how they conduct themselves on the field matters more than how loud they shout. The Roy Keane persona is a cliche from the 90s. The same goes for the manager. A shouty ball-buster just isn't a thing anymore,

Pretty sure kettlewell was a successfull youth coach at county before he managed them, and he came to us to fill the open position of head of youth. I don't think there is any more to his appointment than that. Also, apparently he isn't interested in full time management for job security and media reasons.

Goodwin hasn't really been particularly successful. I looked up Jack Ross and he seems to have been decent at both st mirren and hibs, as far as win percentage goes, but that may include st mirren's promotion. Both at least have experience, but have recently shown a lack of ability to do the very thing we need them to come in and do. The last thing we need is someone else adding to the stink of failure that's going around. All signs seem to be pointing to lambert, who hasn't managed for 2 years, but has 16 years experience at good levels to draw on. I'd assume ex accies manager Stuart Taylor would be assistant. He also fits the ex St Mirren mould, so the bit can continue.

Yes

Any of our injuries going to miraculously heal in the next couple of days?
-
I'm sure by "factors" they mean injuries, getting signings in, the mess Alexander left, the world cup, burrows leaving, players being bad, manager and assistant not being good, board being slow, etc.

We lost him, McKinnon, and Alex Burns when the first bosmans happened. We were all a bit pissed about it, but I can't remember anything being directed at the players. The chat a few years later was that Lambert and McKinnon would have stayed if they had got a modest pay raise. Man, what a team that was. Some of the stuff between Coyne, Davies and Lambert was magic.

We have no defenders, which is about 10 less than he would prefer.
-
He wishes. He also wishes he didn't relegate dunfermline, raith and Hartlepool. Enough job openings have passed him by to suggest he's not that good. I'll support whoever gets the job, but his record since leaving Inverness hass been piss poor.
-
No to kettlewell, he was only good when he had half the job at county. Goodwin and Ross have experience, but their success is a mirage. I wouldn't be furious with either, but I'm not sure they will want it. John Hughes can fuck right off.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

Do we know why it was cancelled?

No amount of money is going to persuade me to read twitter replies for the foreseeable.

Ha ha. Maybe go finish your homework. If we are going to rate our execs on how much we win and how far we go in europe, then we're going to have a bad time. You can't blame the execs/board for everything then claim our player successes are solely down to coaches (that they hired). A whole lot of revisionist history and point scoring going on due to recent mistakes.
-
Went for O'Donnell because as shite as we were, he showed some nuts and made a fist of it in a position he should never have been in. I'm not going to slate any player for that shit show today, that was a display that smacked of "please sack me" from the manager.

The problem right now is there isn't anyone to play in their place.

And of them, how many were we actually sad to see go? When Carson left it looked like he was a perma-crock, the same with Dunne and ohara. Most of us were happy to see the back of Gallagher, and Main was hopeless for us before he somehow got a gig at Aberdeen. Then there's tait, who lost his place to Liam Grimshaw. I like Ryan Bowman too, but no one cared when he left either. Doesn't mean they wouldn't walk into our team now, but would we have waited two years for these players to turn things around? No chance. I'm more concerned with the rate of injuries at our club. Are we training on an ash park?

I think our development team is a bit on the younger side compared to others.

The club doesn't miss much with player announcements, with posts across all social media and on the website, so not sure what else can be expected there. It has been discussed previously regarding injuries, this looks like a deliberate stance from the club, and could be related to player privacy and not telegraphing our lineups. Return dates aren't guaranteed either, so you'd get folk whining regardless. Not sure what other clubs do in that regard. I don't think the social media and marketing stuff needs to be at the expense of anything else, it's a different department from the football side and will have a budget that is dwarfed by that. Marketing the club and players well is imperative to any club, and fan engagement is just as important. Having some connection the players outside of the match day can help ease tensions and also build anticipation for games. Every now and then it gets us recognition from outside of our bubble, which may just entice a few more people to fir park. Our previous media team did end up getting carried away with themselves and became insufferable. It became more about them than the club, and they became disconnected from the fans, and more interested in their CV than serving the club. The current group seem to be delivering the bare bones, probably due to lack of numbers. There's no engagement at the minute, and I can't remember the last time we had any content about the players that isn't a pre match interview. That can add to the feeling of being disconnected. However, when results aren't going our way, everything gets picked at. No one would care less about the media output if we were winning.

Giving our injury history, we're the last place he needs to be.

He's having coffee with our new defender.

No one is taking this job
-
St Johnstones tactic of "move slightly to the side" when they are on the ball is really causing us trouble.
-
This is the worst we've been yet. Absolutely clueless.

Googling league two midfielders named aragorn.
