It's all relative though as we expect to be in the bottom six but challenging for the top six so bottom two is failure for us. Liverpool expect to be winning trophies every season so 8th and out of the cups is probably a comparable level of failure for them. The point remains though, support your team through the hardest times too.

You'd send him to Tanadice?

Don't forget, we also looked fairly good under Hammell for a handful of games at the start of the season. Hopefully Kettlewell won't run out of ideas like he did.

I like the way that Kettlwell has managed our most disappointing players i.e. O'Donnell and Slattery. He could easily have punted them into the reserves but - despite knowing full well how poor they were recently - he put his trust in them and put them on to defend leads. They both seem to have responded well.

2-0! Spittal playing a one-two with the far post.

Clarkson's already got that job. Would have thought that Kettlwell will bring in his own assistant if he gets the job until the end of the season.

Glad to see Bevis back on the bench. Hopefully full of confidence and providing much-needed defensive cover.

Wasn't he suppose to take a place on Grimsby's board too? Perhaps he'll combine the First XI manager's job with being the new CEO.

Hopefully we'll also be telling Aberdeen to go fcuk themselves when they start making enquiries.

Spittal - pressing, tackling, passing, looked full of energy tonight.

Max had a great game, just the right reaction to being harshly dropped.

MFC TV.

St. Mirren won't be expecting that ....

Butcher as a holding midfielder and Cornelius working with him with his energy is a step in the right direction. If Goss is playing wide left then I would have preferred to see McKinstry or Crankshaw out there instead.

You can copy and paste this onto the Alan Burrows thread too: identical scenario.

Disappointing, scratching my head already.

I think that saying he's been dreadful is overstating it a wee bit. He's been left completely exposed by a poor defence way more than he was last season. His distribution has deteriorated markedly though, his pinpoint passing was a real feature when he arrived on loan.

I'd pencil in Oxborough for league cup games next season to give him first team experience. This season the only change that I'd make in goal is giving the armband to an outfielder and let Kelly focus on his own performances.

You think he's hot? Not sure that needs to be part of the recruitment process.

PJ Morrison has apparently made a massive blunder in scoring an own goal and giving Darvel hope of getting back in the game. 2-1 Falkirk at the mo'.

Yeah, I'd understand if Johnston had gone off too but he was fine.

That's us defaulted the game then surely?

This is the kind of signing to get excited about!

I was thinking 4-4-2 as well but with Danzaki instead of Spittal as he's much more mobile and possibly Obika instead of KvV. The old school little and large pairing upfront is something that is worth a try.

Looking at the other games this weekend there is a chance that our relegation rivals will all drop points. We need to hope that our marginally better away form gives us a chance tomorrow.
