Having reflected on last night I am still raging but also need to acknowledge we had SIX starters missing, Ox, mcginn, Gordon, seddon, miller and stama. That would impact any team.
However the players on the pitch should still have been good enough to get us a win. The problem for me is how we are being set up, any opposition knows exactly the formation we will be playing and that all comes down to Kettlewell. He has no clue how to change things but surely Frail should be advising him also.?
Also I think the pressure is now getting to him hence the run of yellow and red cards he gets now. Seems to blame everyone bar himself.
I like the guy, and backed him loads but it does seem he has run out of ideas and also a lot of signings really need to be questioned, but has also made good ones, stama and TJ I think have been good but only if played properly.
I don't think he is going anywhere soon but he needs to get a tune out of these players, were 1700 there yesterday, be lucky to get 170 this Saturday which says it all.
And finally a lot of folk comparing him to Alexander. I disagree, we were brutal last full season and somehow managed top 6. Yet board kept him on but for me Alexander was an unlikeable person, way he treated SOD was terrible. Kettlewell frustrates me but I don't dislike the guy.
