Stevie73 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Just watched his post match interview, said he told them to attack, so either someone is telling porkies or the players are defying his offensive tactics. 🤔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsince75 Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Don’t worry folks we’re 4th on the league and 16 points better than last season don’t worry folks we’re 5th in the league and league and 9 points better than last season Don’t worry folks we’re 5th in the league and 6 points better than last season . Dont worry other than this time last season we went through the worst run of games in SPL history - someone forgot to mention those facts . Suspect we’ll finish 9th or 10th in a league that is pretty poor with spending more on a squad than any in living memory . please don’t ask - ‘do who else is better’ in reality SK has performed reasonably well but then so did GA and he rightly got the chop .

You just get a sense when the wheels are coming off and I never really got that sense during the long losing streak but the team had to make a statement today and they have not been able to do it. The manner of the defeat rings alarm bells too. I have fought the good fight but I am raising the white flag. If he does go now, what is for certain is that we are turning over managers at an alarming rate. I still believe that this says more about the challenges of the job than it does about the incompetence of what is a growing list of managers. Good post👍 but i think we might be on course to do a hibs a few years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacking in top half is highly unlikely albeit some comments recent he’s making life hard for himself . he’s been given a very generous budget and on current trajectory we’re heading towards 9-10th again . the entertainment part will be part of his budget - fans will stop coming to games and that very much will impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Spends most of the interview talking about defensive lapses & folk worrying about getting injured. Completley skips over the 3 shots we had on target & the brutal possession stats. Heres some non football manager advice Einstein...... if we dont attack & shoot then we are very unlikely to win games! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 He isn't going anywhere soon, next week we can just write off, we then have a week off as it's the cup. It is then Ross Co at home and for me that is massive, currently 5pts clear so a win would be huge. However a defeat and I do fear the atmosphere could be bad. If I felt Kettlewell was capable of turning it round I would say it but for me that interview last week was chronic. When things are going bad you need your fans onside, he is alienating more and more each week and this includes a lot (myself included) that had backed him. Still feel different from Alexander situation. He just was an unlikeable character and didn't show affection for the club. Kettlewell has the passion but just has no idea how to set us up and a style of football which is driving fans away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean if other clubs don't communicate with fans makes it ok for us to do same. Surely we can aspire for better standards. Also entertainment is zero given tactics he adopts. And it is also an entertainment business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well_said Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 3 minutes ago, wellgirl said: The board aren't going to send a statement out re Kettlewell unless he leaves. That's pretty standard. Plenty football boards give out votes of confidence statements for the manager but that usually means it is the beginning of the end for them. We may be different as we are a fan owned club.

Kmcalpin Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Having sat through another 95 minutes of a turgid, flat and passive performance today, I've come off the fence and now believe it's time to part company with SK. Wasn't impressed with his post match comments blaming the players. He really needs to take responsibility. It's time to go Stuart. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he gets the rest of the season unless we look like being dragged into the relegation fight, although every season is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
