Kmcalpin Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Well, its the cup next weekend. Our injury and suspension will severely limit our selection options but maybe thats a good thing. As someone on P & B pointed out some time ago, SK is at his best when our starting line up options are very limited and the team virtually picks itself. De facto, his scope for decision making is almost zero. As things stand our best starting line up for next week would seem to be Mair Kaleta Casey Balmer Blaney Wilson Halliday Andrews Sparrow/Davor Watt Maswhanise Thats assuming that we don't pick up more injuries during the week. A huge if. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re more than likely stuck with him until we find ourselves at grave risk of relegation sometime in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't afford to be paying yet another manager off. He's kept us in the spl since he was appointed and we are top six but he's to go. Thankfully you won't be making that decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 We will lose this and exit the Cup, absolutely nothing surer. Even a week away and it’s already got all the hallmarks of a rotten day. It’s such a shite draw in every aspect. Away to a Premier side, not great for travelling fans and with our stinking form and performances it’s hard to muster any enthusiasm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I will wait to see who is available to play before making any predictions about this game. Glad we have a full weeks rest between games at last. We are going to need it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can get knocked out the cup,drop out the top six and be in a relegation battle and he knows he still won't get sacked. Thats how secure his job is at the club.

Granted, its not the most the most attractive or romantic of ties but they'll still be there in numbers. St Johnstone should be making it as easy as possible for those interested, to buy tickets.

wellfan Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 I’m a season ticket holder and have been going to home and away games for 30-odd years, but you’d have to pay me to go to this game. Given the likely outcome, it’s just not worth my time or the expense. I can’t be arsed watching Kettlewell’s crap project likely do nothing other than surrender possession and try not to lose to the worst team in the league. That said, I can only hope I am wrong to give this one a miss, but that’s what happens when fans become disillusioned with having to tolerate a crap manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also delighted to see Slattery back and scoring. I just think it's a bit knee jerk the Kettlewell out opinion - and I'm personally sick of it - not aiming that at you btw. All over facebook. Some folk on here. Let's get rid of him then and see who else could do a better job. Robbo got the same treatment towards the end Alexander got it too.

I don't agree re Kettlewell but that's fine. I think stick is ok to a point - but it went over the score with Alexander in my view. Someone grabbing the mic when he was being interviewed to give him abuse. No need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
