1991

He is a converted right back to centre mid according to his first interview when he signed

Taylor not even in squad well done Craggs a good start

No Law or Taylor and Pearo back

Iv bet us too must be mental

Paul Dickov has just been mentioned to me as also having applied, same guy told me about Latapy

I honestly think Taylor was a major factor in the manager losing some of the fans, he lost my respect with never taking him off and starting him every week. It wasn't the only factor but it was the fact every fan I spoke with had the same opinion yet Bara refused to act which lost my respect in him able to make correct decision

Totally disagree re MVG I can't see how he would be happy working with what's here already I thought Bara had a major role in appointing Robinson as did McCall with Black.

Also listened to Kenny Shiels I would not be surprised if he comes to club along with Craggs and Robinson as they all know each other, he said he would be willing to work with the current staff. If a new manager like MVG came along I presume he would want his own staff so that would cost us more money

I really fear some of the names mentioned and really don't see any of the early favourites get the job other than Craigan. I think we need someone who knows the Scottish game so at this stage guys like Van der Gagg and Maskant are too much of an unknown quantity which is another gamble. Lambert,Coyle and even McLeish are prob out of our reach People suggesting Alan Johnson surprise me as he made a James Blunt of the Killie job. I would like someone like Nigel Clough, he knows the English league and def knows the Scottish leagues you only need to look at players he signed Johnny Russell, Craig Bryson and of course Higdon. I think he tics most of the boxes if not all

I heard Russell Latapy has applied

Was a good listen apart from Chic Young slagging the fans behaviour. Willie Miller actually said he believed what happend in dressing room was a factor in him leaving

I have no doubt McDonald would have been in the middle of the dressing room incident, my interpretation of the radio interview was the dressing room incident was a major factor in Bara getting the bullet

Really wanted him to succeed but it was inevitable as he was out his depth. Well done to the board for a quick decision. I wonder if we will hear what guys like Lasley McDonald and Hammell thought about him. Will be really interested to see the team for Saturday

Sometimes your mate being your boss isn't the best combination

I can't understand why he played such a weak starting line up surely you play your strongest 11 in the hope of getting a few goals and building confidence but no he rests players. If we had won 5 nil last night I guarantee he would still change things for Saturday.

I would go for George Burley but there is prob no chance of that happening

Baraclough is a clown but can defiently talk a good game and can see how he managed to get the job unfortunately he has been given more freedom in the transfer market than any other manager. I can't quite understand the criticism of Alan Burrows, for me the guys does a great job I can't see what he could do different I appreciate he may lack experience but iv never saw a guy try to include the fans more in a club so I think he gets unfairly criticised. In saying the above re Burrows he is a fan like all of us and he must see what is happening on park but he must also have a fair idea of the feeling behind the scenes. Do I think Bara will go before Saturday not a chance which leaves the board with a real headache if we lose, let's be realistic Bara will never walk he will need to be pushed

How does Ripley gets beat with a looping header when he is on his line and to make it worse 5'5" Imrie wins the header, we are a complete joke. Yet again Taylor lasts 90 mins, I think Baraclough forgets he is playing. The only championship Taylor has played in must be the hide and seek championship as he hides the full game. When will we realise playing with one striker isn't working.

I would def drop Hammell 2moro and bring in Chalmers,Johnson will also replace Thomas and the real decision will be Grimshaw and Robinson for Taylor and Skippy. I can't see there being so many changes as above but feel the 4 changes would give us our best chance. Ripley Law Laing Mick Chalmers Ainsworth Grimshaw Lasley Johnson Moult Robinson That gives us pace and a bit of grit along with a strong bench

I agree it appears strange with transfer dealings but we actually have a similar sized squad to last season I think the policy is highlighted due to Samson and Clarkson signings, Taylor appears a poor signing but the rest appear ok

I will be interested to see the line up on Saturday, I expect Samson to take Dan place on bench however it wouldn't surprise me if he dropped Ripley as that's the way his decisions have went so far, if he drops Ripley I will lose any faith or respect I have left for him to succeed

The fact nobody has went near Samson shows he isn't a great keeper he has been a free agent for months, a really poor signing if it happens

I also was behind Baraclough up until recently. On occasions his substitutions have lost us games especially at Perth. I actually think the signings have been ok but we can't gel as a team for example look at Killie, Thistle and even Accies there's only a couple of players from there squads I feel are better than ours which for me shows the problem may be with the manager. Yesterday our bench was the strongest we have had for some time, there aren't many teams with a game changing bench, I feel the 3 changes yday def changed the game. I think the majority of fans would want Kennedy, Chalmers, Robinson and Grimshaw start next week with Law, Hammell Skippy and Taylor all dropped but there's no way he will as he appears to watch a different game from the majority

I have watched every minute he has played for us, he has done nothing at all but what annoys me more is he is never subbed. I'm not saying Jack Leitch is a world beater but he contributes more than Taylor. He dosnt look suited to the role the manager wants him to play. I don't like to single players out but every person sitting around me has the same opinion surely the management must see this

I was never really concerned at losing game as Killie are terrible what does concern me is not being able to kill a team, Killie are terrible one of the worst iv saw for a long time yet we can't score from open play but a win is a win I suppose so try not to be too negative. I thought Dom and Moult had good games, thought Leitch did ok but his distribution was poor and could have cost us against a better team
