But he scored also

Ypu, that can't be denied. I just don't see him as a viable right back option right now, in a relegation fight. If SOD had given them the run of that flank multiple times while jogging back from the half way line as the ball passed him by, he'd be getting pelters on here.

I'll rephrase my original post. Are they being coached properly? Now a poor defensive display is nothing new; it's been evident for months. In the words of none other than Alex McLeish "if the players are being coached properly and they continue to make the same mistakes, then they need moved on". 

That's laughable coming from McLeish......

Can't argue with that about SOD, lad takes a ridiculous amount of stick

That's fine. No need to rephrase on my account. We can all sit and ask questions as to why we are struggling but ... none of us have the answers

We did sign another RWB in Callan Elliot. Oh, wait…

Aye think he needs to be taken out of the firing line for a while, get back to basics and try to recover his confidence.

The Ox might be ok but having only seen him play twice in 2 years I'm not even sure if he's any good. Kettlewell seems as if he's not convinced either.

He wasn't convinced with Gent and davor either, how has that turned out.

Who apparently isn't match fit. Seriously. I can no longer be bothered. The negativity on these boards is beyond the pale and if you say anything positive about Motherwell or Kettlewell you get hung out to dry. I'm not taking about you in particular but I've had people taking shots at me for weeks and I've had enough of it. 

Most of it has been relatively civil. Some of it hasn't been. Again. Not talking about you.

It's tough being on here if you like Kettlewell. And it's not worth it. Not for me right now anyway. That's before you get people posting the laughing emoticons on everything you type. See if people want this to be an echo chamber of the we want Kettlewell out - that's where this forum is heading. 

Only one opinion will be tolerated

The only way we'll find out is if he pitches him into the inferno.

Might be brilliant might be shite but it would be nice to know one way or another.

You've got to be one of the most football ignorant people ever to post on a forum.  Callan Elliot is a young player with no experience of Scottish football who we can look at and possibly develop as a long term prospect (You know, like that shite striker we signed from St Johnstone who Kettlewell should have got sacked for signing).  Throwing him in during a part of the leage season where we're aiming to stay in the league would be suicide. Like SOD or not (and you clearly don't), he's the best and most experienced right back at the club. Admitedly not the most dynamic or fastest going forward, but the best we've currently got. I've never put someone on ignore on a forum before but you are such a dumbfuck, you might just be the first.

Elliot is one we will monitor and if he looks a prospect will get a deal in the summer.  I doubt he is on a big wage so it's worth a punt to see if any good

But they weren't READY for first team football... and he only put them in when they were ready, it was actually really really good man management by Kettlewell.

 

Or some other shite like that.

Davor got pitched in in the St Mirren cup tie and wasn't up to speed. Gent was making sub appearances until he got up to speed. Players need time to adjust, especially the more inexperienced ones.

Playing devils advocate because we’ve not seen the guy play…

If he's not fit, can’t be thrown into a relegation battle and SK still thought we needed another right back after signing him, then I’d also be inclined to question his signing at this stage. 
 

(He may well come good)

Completely agree. And I think it's testament to Kettlewell how well both are doing right now.

Agreed. Some of the roasters on here would just pitch him straight in cause its fashionable to say SOD is shit

I think you've failed to understand my sarcastic comment or read my previous posts on Elliot, as I know he isn't fit because he hasn't played since summer and is, therefore, likely a project. Who's the ignorant dumbfuck now? Not me. 

My view is that a January window is for signing starters (like defenders) to help a struggling team immediately. It's not a time for signing projects, or unfit and injured players just because we can. 

Also, take your personal abuse elsewhere and bile yer heid while you're at it.

Just saw in the highlights that Bair was holding his hamstring at the final whistle. Hope thats not an injury that keeps him out.

Too much. Way too much. Including getting booed when he comes on the pitch 

me again wellgirl, i come in piece, i agree with you 100% on this, never boo your own player on or off it destroys confidence, and yes he might not be getting any younger, and maybe leggy, but the guys got scotland caps and what you loose in your legs you never loose in your brain you cant buy experience. duk was there top performer and kettlewell brought on SOD to basically nulify him , and by the way i am by no means his biggest fan

Absolutely this. I never boo players and I never boo managers. You don't boo your own. SOD for some reason has just been to easy a target over quite a long period of time. 

Same with folk on social media saying Slattery is as slow as a week in jail. Like come on now. Like seriously nothing is good enough for some fans and I mean nothing.

How is he a project? Like. When Bair signed he was apparently a project according to some fans. What makes Elliot one?
