Quatermass Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 KVV going to Killie shouldn’t impact us that much. In fact watch me put a positive spin on it. As we are likely to be done with Killie after Saturday he could very well damage the teams round about us when he faces them. Can easily see him try his wee temperamental huffy heart out against Livi, County and St J as he knows it’s for the greater good. In all seriousness, as mentioned, the BIG takeaway here is we are being bodied by Killie, St Mirren and Dundee in the transfer market. That has major concerns for us going forward. If it’s not this season it currently looks odds on we are going down in the next three……and that’s being positive. Best we can hope for is one of these teams to buy very poorly and us to be smart and lucky. It’s not a game plan that’s working so far. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just signed a right back. O'Donnell and McGinn can play right back. It is shambolic. Why did we sign Callan Elliot if we need another right back. Kettlewell is obsessed with full backs. I think we have signed 6 this season Gent, Souare, Spencer, Callan, Montgomery, Devine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best we can hope for is one of these teams to buy very poorly and us to be smart and lucky. It’s not a game plan that’s working so far. On one hand...yes, definitely. On the other, Dundee have had the ability to outspend us for the 3.5 decades I've been going and have fucked it 90% of the time. Have they finally nailed it? Maybe. But maybe not. St Mirren have already peaked and are coming back - Robinson may halt that trend quickly, as he did with us, but again, he might not. We knew others have had some backing we didn't this year and we were paying off last season. Livingston shitting the bed has changed the dynamic totally...the goal this season was survival, balance the budget and start afresh in 24/25. Change is not an overnight process...this season was always one which had to be ensured on the pitch, off it there's been changes in the society and executive to come. Maybe it'll finally go horribly wrong and our time will come next season but it's still there to be won or lost imho. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you. I’d just like us to show some fucking ambition, you know just once. I’ll be honest, I am completely disillusioned with the club at the moment . It’s been one boot in the stones after another this season . Not that it really matters but if Kilmarnock are picking up most of KVV salary anyway why did they not just sign him on 1st January and get him fit ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisGRAEME Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 8 minutes ago, Jim McLean's Ghost said: Gent, Souare, Spencer, Callan, Montgomery, Devine I mean; fine, gone, gone, a view to next season, injured, good to go. I think we're all broadly in agreement that SODs is better at RCB, McGinn can be anywhere along that backline, the series of events that's led to this collection of moving and shaking is feeling a bit like Monty Burns' baseball team but I'm not sure it's that ridiculous to have them? Like, you could definitely argue the reason we've been shite, more than anything, is the complete drop off in quality from wide areas from us, so we've addressed that. Fair play, the flip side of that is that the other thing you'd argue is that our strikers are shite and we've probably not dealt with that tbh. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite sad really, although I think many single club forums seem to eventually go the sane way, with a few overpowering knobheads drowning out the decent and reasoned chat with their own mind-numbing shtick. Sad stuff. Edited February 1 by 'WellDel 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
