Richie Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 I think with the 'Hammell bounce' in hinsight we were pretty fortunate to beat St Mirren with a Kelly masterclass. Horsed Ross County though. Kettlewell seems to have settled things down in terms of the previous frantic play. St Mirren was a bit of a graft, but Hearts we were relatively comfortable and didn't seem to be panicking/inviting them unto the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameron_Mcd Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 Total difference between Hammell's time as interim and Kettlewell's. With Hammell we would have been turned over by a St Mirren side that had just lost to Airdrie of it wasn't for Liam Kelly having the game of his life and then we lost to a poor St Johnstone team at home. Since Kettlewell has come in we've comfortably beaten 3rd and 4th place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 He’s given us a massive lift and 6 unbelievably important points in his time as caretaker manager. Time to get behind him and support him and the team for the rest of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So let's just hop on the same merry go round with Kettlewell and hope it works. Kettlewell has won two games in a row now he is the Messiah according to some people. Also why is Burrows interviewing him as reported in the press. Two wins and be thinks he can hold a gun to the clubs head and make all sorts of demands. Tell him to fuck off. How many people have called him the Messiah and what are all these demands? Did these things actually happen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MearnsWell Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 I’d agree with previous post that Kettlewell has clearly setup the team entirely differently and to the strengths of the players he has, rather than impose a 4-3-3 irrespective a la Alexander and Hammell. He’s also got previous first team management experience which Hammell didnt have, which is notable in how the teams played. He has clearly kept up with the game in his time out, and looks like a guy who’s hungry, learned and improved. If we’d to bring in a new boss, it’s be a slap in the face for Kettlewell, plus it’d take a few weeks for the new guys philosophy to bed in plus the other candidates don’t know the Scottish game. Time that we don’t have in our current situation. It’s the right short term decision and if Kettlewell keeps us up, potentially the right long term one as well. He has my support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Grew Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 This does seem to be taking an inordinately long time to get sorted out. It’s pointless to speculate but maybe the board do want him BUT they’re only offering the job until the end of the season then review. If that’s the case I can understand their reluctance to offer more at this point given their experience with the last two managerial appointments.
