A year or so ago I would have taken Kyle Lafferty in a heartbeat but not now. He’s barely played at Killie this season plus he’s 35 years old and by all accounts a bit of a helmet of a guy. I wouldn’t imagine he’s on our radar anyway.

Agreed. Thanks for the megaphones, sorry, memories Sol eh?

I’d say it was more when he became involved with the international team that his head turned, no doubt with his agent in his ear telling him he was too good for us now that he was getting picked for Scotland.

Sol gone, official.

First I’ve heard that but not in the slightest bit surprised. So we’ve got yet another crock on board.

We won’t win. 0-0

Alexander is partly to blame, but those higher up in the club are more to blame. They gave him a free pass for the dreadful football and results from December ‘21 onwards and they awarded him a contract extension. Bad enough but they then allowed him to go into this season with the same squad that had fallen flat so badly in the second half of last season plus Josh Morris and then when we were shown up by Sligo in the Europa League Qualifiers ‘mutually consented’ him two days before the first league game and replaced him with the youth academy boss who was basically on a hiding to nothing from the get go. It’s been a ‘perfect storm’ for us all season.

I agree, but unlike Alexander who is hugely responsible for the mess we are currently in, Steven Hammell doesn’t have the pig faced arrogance to try and tell the support that black is white and that we are playing well when we clearly aren’t. Obviously him being a club legend and much loved by the support helps Hammell’s cause too. The sad reality is though that Stevie Hammell just looks like a thoroughly decent guy who is miles out of his depth.

Poor guy. It’s a hard watch seeing him repeat the same things just about every week. He has undoubtedly had bad luck with injuries but he is looking increasing out of his depth with each passing poor performance/result. It’s hard to see this ending anything other than badly.

I agree that the goalkeeper being captain doesn’t sit right, but there isn’t anyone else at the club who fits the bill as a captain or leader. SO’D had the armband previously and was stripped of it so who do you give it to? For me the best option is Lamie and even that is scraping the barrel because he doesn’t show much in the way of leadership qualities.

The reality is we are going down or at best heading for the playoffs with barely a whimper and it’s heartbreaking to watch.

Full time, officially joint bottom.

If Hammell goes it’ll be Kettlewell or Clarkson that gets it.

No arguments there but we aren’t blessed with any other better options from the bench. Our squad is absolutely garbage and we have little to no depth and even less quality.

Cornelius on for Goss

That’s the way it is for the majority of the league to be honest, it’s “Survival of the least shittest”.

Well we’ve finally managed one from Johnston but Carson saved well.

Only a matter of time before they score again I reckon.

Hammell won’t be sacked, we can’t afford to pay him off but I don’t know how much longer he’ll stick around for before he decides to chuck it. We are basically doing the same things week in week out and not surprisingly getting the same dire performances and results.

Half time 1-0. Another gormless and dismal display from us. We might scrape a draw yet but in yet another game where we need a win we aren’t getting it. Its all just so depressingly familiar.

Ross County winning as well which means as things stand we are joint bottom with them, Dundee Utd and Killie.

This is our problems in a nutshell, we just cannot do the absolute basics of football. We can’t defend and we can’t score goals and that’s why we are almost three months to the day since our last league win and have only recorded one home league win all season.

That is just pathetic. Another uphill struggle to just get a point here.

Depressing right enough. Mandron being injured just sums up our fortunes this season.

Danzaki not involved as clearance not through. Mandron not involved as he’s injured so Shields starts.
