You can bet your bottom dollar that if Kettlewell survives this season's crapfest, just like he survived last season's shitfest, we'll find ourselves in yet another shitty situation of his own making come Dec 2025/Jan 2026. What we're witnessing now is a pattern. He needs to be shown the door; if not now, then definitely by the end of this season.

The new Chairman has his first impending crisis to deal with.

I think Miller will now leave this window. With us being knocked out of the Scottish Cup and on a downwards trajectory, there’s absolutely zero incentive for him to hang around until summer.

If only Kettlewell shared your levels of humility then maybe things wouldn't become toxic and the fans would remain on his side.

Yep, all they are is a group of players. There is no semblance of a functioning team amongst them. And that's entirely on the man who built and coaches this group.

Celtic will absolutely tear this ragtag group of players apart. A cricket score wouldn't surprise me.

Oh, so familiar. Groundhog Day. It's happening again. Again, isn't it?! He was shown to be gash by December 2023, and he still won't do in January 2025. But it looks like our meagre budget is enough for a 30-man first team squad now. Groundhog Day mk2.

The highlight of his post-match interview was him using the term 'tender hooks'. Damn, Stuart, those hooks be tender.

Exactly, but some genius gave him a contract and made him vice-captain.

Seconded.

So it was more of the back 5 and with players playing out of position. Classic Kettlewell. What an idiot.

Can you get relegated from the Scottish Cup? 😉

For those at the game, what formation did we start with? From the comments, it’s seems that the first half was okay, but that the second half was a bit of mess as we tried and failed to protect the lead.

His post-match pressers are likely to be spicy.

What happens when someone is promoted above their ability and given a blank cheque for several transfer windows? This is what happens. A massive and aimless squad who can barely muster more than 30% possession most games. We’re going nowhere under Kettlewell, except down the table and decreasing our bank balance.

As a fan owned club, he really needs to do better.

Two of them are already onto me, but that’s nothing new. We’ll all revisit this thread at 5pm tomorrow.

Kettlewell’s interviews this week make it clear that it’ll be more of the same from him. To change it up would suggest that he’s listened to the fans who he clearly indicated he has zero respect for, so that isn’t happening. And with that, there’s no way I am going tomorrow, and it seems I’m not alone in that choice.

Yep, he fully missed the mark on that one, and it appears to have created a him vs the fans scenario.

I've no idea what Kettlewell's signing policy and approach is other than to amass quantity over quality at the same time as pleading poverty regarding the budget.

As a season ticket holder and someone who attends many away games, I know exactly what I see and hear most weeks. Can you say the same from the Channel Islands? If not, don't assume what you don't know.

A good start would be to stop signing injury prone players.

This massive squad will quickly eat into the Bair money. It’s not sustainable and can’t happen again next season.

Luke Armstrong joins on loan. Can anyone recall the last time we had a 30-man (not including players out on loan) first team squad?

Amber and Yellow weather warnings in place for wind, snow and ice tomorrow in Perth and surrounding areas. Given that the Central Belt has pretty much shut down today because of a Red weather warning, I wonder what the state of play will be tomorrow morning.
