Same line-up as the Partick cup game except Ebiye in for Stuparević (who doesn’t even make the bench!?). As I said last week 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders and rely solely on 3 players to try to create and score goals - young Miller for the former and Ebiye and Robinson for the latter.

How the f*ck can Kettlewell think he can win football matches with a line-up line and tactics like these? Answers on a postcard!

He seems wedded to the use of full-backs to provide an additional attack option - defenders miss the midfield out and get the ball to the full-backs who are expected to provide crosses for the strikers.  Fine if you have got Roberto Carlos or Kyle Walker but not with the ones we have. FFS get a couple of wide-playing midfielders to play with Miller and ditch one of the defensive midfielders Halliday or Zdravkovski.

We need to win our home games against the likes of Ross County or we’ll become relegation fodder.

He should be nowhere near our first team squad, he’s totally done.

I can’t contain my excitement for another 37 games just like that one. 


Total football….breathtaking stuff.

i think it’s safe to say us and county will be in the relegation mix this season.

Take off our creative players and wonder why we create nowt. Usual suspects doing what they did last year. Playing with nine players is not a good look. Halliday and o'donell are finnished at this level. All that being said we should have won that, county were shockingly bad. No chance our support increases playing boring safety first football, with brain farts in our defence giving the only entertainment.

Im gona get my popcorn ready for some of the posts on here tonight

What are you expecting? After that dirgefest along with what we’ve seen in the League Cup Group games then there are genuine concerns for us as a team. 
 

Obviously it’s early doors and anyone nailing their colours to the mast and saying that we are getting relegated based on what they have seen so far is a bit much and definitely kneejerk but it can’t be denied that we have serious problems with the team and the manager.

I get what you're saying but I can imagine what the usual suspects are gona come away with:-

1-We will be relegated

2-Kettlewell should be sacked

3-Its O'Donnell's fault the Titanic sank

Its day 1 of the season, granted we were kinda crap but its soooooo early that I'm not pulling the panic card just yet.

We have signed a lot of players (most ended up injured obviously) and they will take time to bed in.  I also expect 1 more midfielder to come in.
