I said this a wee while back but my biggest fear isn't who the new manager would be, but the fact that what they have to work with just isn't good enough. Previously when a manager had been replaced mid season they have at least had a squad of a decent enough standard to play with, this time around we are asking Wimmer to polish a turd. 

Now now yoshi

The polishing a shit is ma phrase 😜

Do we have a medicine and sports science department? If we do then a review is needed. Far to many injuries. Mind you, since he arrived Blaney seldom plays a run of games before being injured. As for Nicholsen. Think his career is gone now. Risky signing that's not worked out. 

When the going gets tough it seems it's easy to get injured. 

I like wee Nicholson but seems really susceptible to injuries now, that was him being eased back too.

All we need is for him  to get enough shine on it to last till May, then we can get rid of the dross in the summer and he can rebuild the team in his own style.

Only if the season finished tonight.

If we're guaranteed 10th otherwise, that is a lot of dross we'll need to be watching until May.

Sacrifice I am prepared to take ahead of major reboot in the summer....or should that be Das Boot!!🤣

Though I would happily take a turn of fortunes and pushing for top 6

Think that was main problem, if he used both eyes we might have had more success in transfer market! 🤪🤪

Looking at the bottom half of the league table, as well as considering recent form and events, this game could not be any more of a six pointer. Anything less than a victory will only worsen the death spiral.

100% cannot afford to lose this game or we are in deep shit.

A win gives the new manager some breathing space to figure things out and keeps us in touch with the top 6.

It really couldnt be any more important.

I feel we say this every season now, season on season in September we think we have a strong team, then by March we are desperate to get to end of season maintaining our league status and clearing out the diddies. 

My take on it, we either punt Daws and let MW and AK solely do the recruitment in summer this season using there knowledge of European football. Kettlewell was working with a very tight budget and in September I did think we have a decent squad but as season has progressed and injuries ramped up we have ended up with guys who evidently aren't good enough to play premier league football and because squad is so big we are also not seeing guys who have came to us as hot prospects (Dickson and Andrews to name but 2). Lewis Grabban instantly comes to mind when I think of they two....

I really dont blame the players as much tbh the last manager is to blame due to his horrible tactics and refusing to change thus the confidence slowly went out the window only Casey by the looks of it called it out for what it was and got put on the naughty step

if Wimmer can get that back into the players then we shall be fine however thats easier said than done.

2-1 to the Superwell get in!

likewise but I have a real fear we will finish below that. Although we improved on Saturday we lost to a Dundee Utd team that didnt do much other than score a solitary goal.
