Looking at the SFA website, it's the 13th, 16th and 19th of November.

So another international break? FFS someone needs to get a hold of these FIFA and UEFA idiots and stop all this nonsense with so many games between UEFA competitions formats and international leagues or whatever the Fk it is now and let countries have their own seasons

  it used to be reasonable with knock out competitions and euro/WC qualifiers, now it’s just ridiculous and purely greed. 
the players Moan about too many games so maybe they need to step up to the plate and get things back to being a bit more reasonable. 
it’s made even worse nowadays since we are more global and end up with players traveling all over the place

Probably because Kettlewell has turned a goalscoring club captain into a headless chicken. Although he has also been injured recently which meant he's probably dropped down the pecking order a bit. A shame for him, but he really needs to be banging down Kettlewell's door asking him to play a system that suits him; otherwise, his signing will prove to be a waste of our money and his time.

Disappointed for him but hopefully good for us as he won't be jet lagged.

Kettlewell needs to start playing him properly.  Jeez we paid over £200,000 for him so needs to be played to his strengths

Maybe he needs to start playing better.

Having said that, I wasn't expecting a goal machine after a few starts even without injuries or new babies, or round trips to Oz to get in the way.

Wenger used to say it took 6 months to adapt to a new team in the same league. Longer if you came in from a different country.

Cheers pal, that has been my case for him.  Takes time to settle and I genuinely think there is a player there but .....apologies if proved wrong but Robinson is a different story, just doesn't look like improving .....but again Kettlewell I feel is not helping our strikers with style we play

Stama not being picked this time round will be good for him and us in the short term.

Last break he travelled to the other side of the world and played zero minutes.

His move hasnt been straightforward having to relocate his wife and newborn child, getting injured and the aforementioned travel.

He really hasnt had any opportunity to settle down and show us what he can do.

After this break he will get a run of games and we will hopefully start getting more players back that will allow SK to have us playing in a way that suits him.

Long term we need him playing well, scoring goals and being selected for Australia as, I presume, the plan is to sell him on down south for a significant fee.

Yup on paper it looked good for him bringing in some players improving them and selling them on. But by fek he was tactically lacking big time. He couldn’t read the match before it started negative tactics were the worst iv witnessed in all my years at Fir Park but he did get points on the board in spells. I’m sure he is probably a good coach but no way a good manager. After what he said about the support , tarred us all with the same brush in his interviews, then he forgot to mention we stuck by him on his horrific winless run last year. Wouldn’t wish him good luck at all but it would rhyme with it
