Agreed. But I think we will start winning games, sooner rather than later.

His Uncle Roy sacked Dick Campbell after a couple of months because the team weren't playing the right style of football, supposedly on the say-so of Adams Snr. Being top of the league obviously didn't wash. Wee Derek got the job back then, so mibbe he'll get Morecambe FC in his Christmas stocking this year.

Slattery's was the one that really annoyed me. The other guys could've done better, but he only had eyes for the penalty - again. There was one move where he turned a couple of players and got away from them, despite their efforts to pull him down. He's got that ability, but he looks for the easy option far too often, as his ridiculous number of bookings demonstrate.

Rangers - very doubtful. Livi - why not? In those last 7 matches, we've picked up 5 points and lost 2 games. They've lost 6 and picked up 1 point. If you're expecting a miraculous turn around in form from them, then why would it be doubful we could do the same?

When he's stopped reversing that bus over them he might as well stay on it, cos he's a goner.

You do wonder, but I don't think he's wrong. Hard to imagine his players nodding along, though, so keep it up Del.

Absolutely true. It's chronic, but it's also the reason why we're still not anywhere near adrift and could be what saves us again. Our 5th place finish under Alexander proved the level of ineptitude in this league. 5 months of pitiful results and we still couldn't be shifted from the top 6.

Moult's dried up, no goals in 6.

We need to look after our own business, but the only forward who scored in the Premiership today was Shankland. We are far from alone.

Anything's a possibility, but past experience and the laws of probability would suggest it'll end before then. Whatever else this team is, it's not much worse than most of its opponents, nor has it given up. If you want rid of Kettlewell to get us winning again, that's understandable, but there's absolutely no guarantee who or what will follow. He walks and is replaced by Frail, Foster or Clarkson - does anyone fancy that? And if not them, who? Ian Murray would be the obvious candidate, but why the hell would he take the job at this time? Whatever side of the fence we're on with this, it's all guesswork. Hammell's sacking seemed inevitable and necessary to virtually everyone. Despite this run, I don't think a huge majority feel the same way about Kettlewell - yet.

How can anyone know we won't win until February?

No. Enlighten me.

Instead of bottom. Have you worked out what Gretna have to do with this yet?

Or Calvary, if you ask David.

Livingston just missed a penalty.

Piss off Slattery.

What's happening, I just woke up.

2-1 us.

Not as poor as your stats.

What record is that?

Nothing?

Yeah, a vote of confidence from the board might as well be the manager's eulogy. He's still there, so I can only assume by not sacking him they're backing him, and when they no longer back him, they'll sack him. Sounds like I'm stating the obvious, but without a public statement or any insider knowledge, what else can you go on? If he makes it to the window, I'd expect them to publicly back him with transfer funds. If they decide to pull the trigger at that point, they should be next out the door.

How would the club back him?

Dundee United mucked about with their keepers last season. Replaced their first choice, who lost 11 goals in 2 games, with a guy who lost 12 in the next 2. Then brought in another who lost 4 on his debut and was immediately dropped. Without having the first clue how good Oxborough is, no one can be certain dropping Kelly is a wise move.

Yeah, if the team had jacked it, you wouldn't need to think twice, but they obviously haven't.
