We're a professional football club,the least we should expect is players being comfortable enough to pass the ball too each other,it's a basic skill,budget shouldn't come into it.when it comes to playing through the midfield having your best player out injured is far from ideal but we have slattery who is decent on the ball and andrews looks the same when he was actually giving the ball in the second half at easter road,there is absolutely no reason why we shouldn't be passing the ball and players moving to give there team mate an option,we do the complete opposite and it can only be down to that's how the manager wants us to play.im all for having some big units in the team at centre half and a target man up front but the constant long ball and playing right Into the oppositions hands is nothing to do with budget.

He was anything but astute,he's an average player that's had a number of serious injuries over the past few years,he should never have been signed.we keep hearing we have no money and running on a tight budget,we can't be gambling like this when it comes to handing out contracts.

Good post grizzly,the big issue is definitely how he sets us up,he's persisting with a failing system that's playing more into the oppositions hands by the week.the last few away games have been dreadful and it's like watching a carbon copy from the game before.kettlewell never seems to learn anything about the opposing teams despite playing against them so regularly,it's the same starting formation,in game tactics and negative approach,why don't we ever change things before a ball is kicked and look to exploit weaknesses in other teams.if you were scouting us as the opposition,you could write your report on the back of a stamp.its mind boggling that between kettlewell and the experience of frail that they can't see the issues that are in front of them.playing st johnstone again so soon,i can't wait too see the approach we take to that game,if it's same again then that will tell us everything about the manager.

The way kettlewell sets us up we're lucky if we create a couple of chances a game so we're never going to have a striker that scores consistently.we currently have the worst problem imaginable in that we score very little while we could conceded at any moment.im not a fan of kettlewell but i think he has enough at his disposal even with the injuries to drop the over cautious approach and start to play a bit more attacking,the current set up, especially the 3 at the back is killing us at the minute.

I hope there has been words exchanged in the dressing room,there's some home truths needing to be heard from manager to players and vice versa,that was shocking yet again today.

Armstrong is as tall as watt and vale so surely we won't be bringing him in to play as a target man,he might be physically stronger and can mix it that way but if the plan is to keep playing the long ball most of the time then it's pointless bringing in another player at 6 foot.

Aye bringing in callachan had disaster written all over it.i get players can get injured at anytime but we really have backed ourselves into a corner with some of our signings of late,we need to be avoiding players with dodgy injury records no matter how cheap and easy the deal is to get done.

We will never get rid of a manager while we're in a comfortable position in the league but let's be honest kettlewell isn't very good,we could replace him with a semi competent manger and we would be better off,as for alexander if anyone deserved stick from the fans it was him.

That's really good going considering there's been some horrendous away performances lately.ive got my ticket but I have to say right now I'm not looking forward too it,let's hope the players can give us something too cheer about come full time.

I don't expect us to play any different even if we have all our midfielders fit,we have played hoof ball with miller in the team this season and he's our best on the ball.andrews looks like he will be a good addition,he wants to get on the ball and make forward passes,slattery is good on the ball and is an upgrade on the likes of davor,it's a shame that miller is injured cause that would be the makings of a good midfield at this level.we need to start playing through the midfield a lot more,with guys like TJ and vale in the team there's decent pace and movement there if we can provide them with the right service.i would like to see us switch to a back 4 as none of our full backs look comfortable at the minute in a wing back role,the amount of space and time there caught out of position is a real issue for us,let's keep it tight and not ask them to do anything other than defending,having a functioning midfield that gets on the ball and keep it and make the right forward passes will take any burden off the full backs having to offer much in an attacking sense.next couple of games will really make our season,we will either have our tails up or be on a right downer.

Aye he should have been gone at the end of last season.for an experienced player that's played international football,he doesn't half make a lot of stupid mistakes,what he did yesterday was idiotic.

I know he got injured soon after arriving but we've had issues at full back all season so for him to not be getting any minutes is strange,I wouldn't be surprised if he leaves this month, hopefully with others to follow.

Aye we should have switched to a back 4,we don't have the wing backs to play 352,they offer very little going forward, probably on kettlewells instructions though.we don't have one forward that is capable of mixing it was the opposing defenders but yet we play a long ball game.we have next to nothing in midfield,I thought andrews was decent today so we're relying on yet another 18 year old in there,it's simply not good enough.

There we go red card to top it all off

How many penalties has that idiot gave away since he's been here,he should never have been giving a new contract.
