Just listened to the after match interview & my take is similar to what others have commented in that I don’t have much confidence in the fact that he is learning from his set up & selection issues
Comments like it was a toss of a coin between McKenzie Lemon & Craig Williamson are again not helpful when it is clear that the latter is nor ready for first team yet whereas Lemon is very comfortable playing at Gus level
I also found his sentiments about the Huddersfield loanee both patronising & contradictory
Agree that he’s starting lineup v Airdrie will expose his true thoughts on how he perceives opinions of others as my take on the booing etc on Saturday was as much about the lineup & system he was adopting as the players ineptitude

Absolutely not. I want sheerin to do well
The reality is that he refuses to change his tactics which we can all see haven’t worked for weeks

Wonder if people would take a loss if it meant Holt & Sheerin were replaced by Yogi & Rice

Trust adding Declan will mean that the club will be able to now have the courtesy & resource to respond to those parents who when invited (twice on club website )to refer their sons for trials never even received an acknowledgment

For a starters if you do go down the road of a dof then at least get someone with previous experience in the role instead of a complete novice like Holt.
Seem to recall that Jimbo Jeffries was being lined up to take the role until we were budged out of the way for his first love - be interesting to see if Jimbo would have made a better fist of things than Killie Gazza

You are spot on. Unfortunately the support is full of people who will put up with any old shite to get out on a Saturday afternoon. The days when the fans would join as one to give the bod pelters have long since gone and as soon as deans opens his mouth and gives the usual it'll be different this season I promise speech, they can't get their cash out quick enough and then seem surprised when the season is just as stinking as the last one. Meanwhile the club continues to plummet into oblivion getting worse season after season. It's a scary thought but will we actually have a club to support in a few seasons time?
For Sheerin to get any credit in the bank he’s going to have to be radical in his team selection & tactics which will mean him having to drop some of his boys to go with a fresher & more flexible approach but somehow don’t see it happening on basis of what I’ve witnessed over past few weeks

I've a feeling that last minute goal saved him.
1. Too slow. Insisting on the passing game. Making Perry triangles is fine but but goes nowhere. The slowness allows the opposition to organise.
2. Forward passes go to a player with his back to goal and a defender up his back. Should be passing into space, keeping the opposition moving.
3. Lack of mobility. A static player is easy to mark. More movement into space needed.
4. Single 'Striker' does not work for us. Sheerins comments that he wants to see goals come from all areas off the park, and the fact that our combined strike force have scored one league goal, indicates he wants to play a false 9. That's fine but, other than Nesbitt, there is no contribution from the midfield. Out with Morrison, our top scorer is Dixon!
5. It was noticeable that we began to get into more attacking positions and came back from behind when Two went up top. One up top is bread and butter for two centre halves. Going one in one with them asks questions.
6. We were promised attacking football. Two holding midfielders is not attacking football. Krasniqi playing as the single holding midfielder is what we needs. He can break up the play and do the simple pass. With him sitting in front of the two centre backs, he drops in to form a three when we are defending and steps forward when attacking. Like Fernandinho at Man City, not comparing Krasniqi to him but you get the idea.
7. The single, and capabke, holding midfielder allows Telfer to move further foward. Before the meltdown last seas on he was one if our most effective attacking options from deep. It allows the full backs to become proper wing backs. Krasniqi sitting allows Dixon and McKay to cover the full back areas when they drive forward.
8. Learn how to counter the deep lying opposing midfield and defence. If they are sitting deep, drop back into your own half and force them to come forward. Then go over the top into space behind. It's long ball football but it works when a team wants to play 10 behind the ball and let you pass yourselves to death.
9. Mutch. You can kick the ball long from hand. A pass to your full back does retain possession but it allows the opposition to get back and reorganize. Try a bit of variety.
10. STOP the constant back Passing. Yes, you retain possession but it goes nowhere. Try gambling more with forward passes. Yes you will lose possession more but possession does not win games. Getting in the box breeds goals. Drive forward, lose possession and then press to get it back further up the field. Passing it across the back four is rubbish to watch and does not win games.
Bit of a rant but it's honestly getting boring to watch and each week of this makes the garden centre seem more appealing

Like it from an attacking mobility perspective but chances of that team starting are slim sadly

4231 is not a fancy formation. It is a formation that is used at every level of football, including boys clubs.
Very few teams will use a basic 442 anymore because it is out dated and far to easy to play against.
on basis of last few games we are easy to defend against full stop
We need more tempo & urgency into our play & less passes across the field & back the way with Hetherington worst culprit

The poverty of intensity, quality & tempo on the pitch is worrying but from where I sat in the South Stand today the apathy, complacency & lack of passion off the pitch is even more concerning & I get real feeling that we as a fan base have now given up & just accepting our lot

Now this post is bound to divide opinion but is it not time for us as a support to reconsider the high moral ground positioning many of us have held & consider a loan bid for arguably the best striker in the 1st Division with option to buy in January

Loved his positive & passionate perspective & the quote ‘ fans were the 11th man yesterday

OK, which miserable gits from here do we think it is?
Where my grandson & I sit we have a few guys behind us who are younger than me but sit chatting about office politics throughout a match
Assumed post Covid they would have left that chat behind but they were back again on Tuesday night with same old
everybody to their own I guess

Also think the anti Wilson rhetoric is unjustified

Some decent stuff despite the pace of the game being quite slow.
Probably see a flurry of subs around 65/70 mins, Seb Ross done well as has Nesbitt again.
Intrigued with slow pace comment as I felt there is a real tempo about our play with a lot of one passing sets

A cracking prospect. Perhaps the best since Gillespie, but a complete bam.

64 Days to the start of the new season, the time taken to travel from London to Rome by donkey in Roman times. It would cost you 50 dinarii for the donkey's food.
Now that is being ITK

Wonder if it’s possible to have an amnesty on negativity for a day to give our board & Holt the opportunity to demonstrate they mean business or am I being naive
