Marshall Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 If we persist with current manager too.Sorry but this appointment will never work. Mr Bowie needs to stop giving the job to next in line ;it ain’t happening,he must see that by now. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLC Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Hamilton look like they will finally go this season, which may well be our saving grace. With the squad we’ve built we should be certainly competing for the top 6. Anything less must be considered a failure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Wouldn’t bank on Hamilton going down,big physical side with better manager than us .Really worry about our goalkeeper appointments too. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the squad we’ve built we should be certainly competing for the top 6. Anything less must be considered a failure. We will play well against Hamilton but lose two or more goals to "silly blunders" drop another 3 points. AD will come out in the after game interview and talk about "working harder" and "not letting ourselves down". Many on here will defend him and say we were just unlucky and if we get a win in the next few games we can cut the gap to the playoff spot to only 6 points. Furthermore they will say Brophy will be back for our final 5 games in the bottom 6 and if we win all those and other results go our way we could make 10th. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfc_superteam Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Results don't lie and we have been sucker punched once too many times for it to be a coincidence. This didn't happen under Sir Steve. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this at some point every season but they always seem to dig out unlikely wins from somewhere. If we think we can rely on them being even worse than us, then we are in really deep trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Think that is the difference. Accies find ways to win games they have no right to over the course of a season. Under Alex, we find ways to lose games we should be home and hosed in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie242KFC Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 funny how all of a sudden millen and waters (back ups to players who've since left) were deemed good enough and 2 players who were brought in probably on decent wages have barely had a sniff -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangodog Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Have to hope that McGowan recovers from that howler today. Haunstrup must be due a starting place, but I thought he should have started today anyway after Wednesday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdevoy Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Only going to be a long hard season uf Dyer is gone by October. Otherwise we will be relegated before Christmas. In fact it's not looking that good if he goes now. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have to change the system because our back-up strikers aren't good enough then it makes no sense that Kiltie has been kept on. It's not as though he's an unknown quantity. Why not free up his wages and bring in someone capable of challenging for a first team place?

CYRILLRIP Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 It feels a bit as if we are on the Hearts bandwagon. When they got back up to the top league they had everything going for them, but a series of really poor decisions on the football front has left them where they are. Some of their decisions e.g young talented coach working with experienced DoF seemed fine at the the time, but in hindsight, perhaps related to the personnel involved turned out to be hugely flawed. Killie also had everything going for them up until about 18 months ago.The Steve Clarke era should have provided a massive opportunity to get our house in order, but I think our current issues stem back to the lack of preparation for his departure and the delay in making a new appointment. Since then it appears to be one bad decision after another. hopefully we are not this season’s Hearts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the plan with crosses coming in from deep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bhamkillieken Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 power, tish and dicker are too similar. maybe against the old filth when we are going to be under pressure but not anyone else. our play is too predictable. right now i would go with power and tish (cant see him dropping the captain though) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thebigguy68 Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 4 hours ago, CYRILLRIP said: but a series of really poor decisions on the football front Yes there is a strong parallel in that regard. Board decisions. Alex is the scape goat in all this. A nice guy trying his best but out of his depth (unless the goal is to keep up with hamilton and Livingston) appointed by a board that are not competent to make such decisions it seems. Yes, we should be eternally grateful for the funds that have propped the club up but doesn’t mean we have the right leaders and decision makers at the helm to shape the future. Things could barely have been handled any worse since steve clarke first indicated he was unsettled. Firstly “what does it take to keep him”? More money? Probably not. “Seat on the board”? Unlikely. Allow him to manage scotland part time ? Maybe discussed. Keep him on as a non executive director? Build a house for he and his wife. Give him couple of days off a week to get down south. Only board know what was tried to keep the great man in some capacity. I’d have sold my granny to keep him involved and if I’d had to camp out at his house in a tent for a month I’d have been reluctant to accept “no”. Maybe BB did the same. I hope he did. After we had to accept he was not going to be involved in any way, who replaces him.? Even if many of the names connected with us at the time were a little fanciful, there is no doubt that was our point of maximum leverage to get a star name in a continue the momentum. Enter the chapter “a series of unfortunate incidents - or how to blow a once in a generation chance”. Embarrassing, amateurish, damaging. From Steve Clarke gladiatorial address to the assembled ranks of the killie army, to the shame of Saturday. What a demise. Bad decision, worse decision. No decisions. From old firm fans actually looking out killie results to now st mirren fans mocking us. Of course it could change. It may turn around. But who really, really believes it will? I really want to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
