D'Jaffo Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 This team is absolutely going to end up in a relegation battle unless change is made soon. Performances are abysmal and not really sure what style of play Kerr is trying to introduce with this team but it's certainly not working. The team is gutless and has no fight but should be making up for it in other areas because imo we actually have a decent squad. Also worrying that there seems to be some unrest in the dressing room with Anderson going back to Aberdeen. One thing that is clear is that Cameron's lack of ambition and choice of appointing a rookie manager has back fired once again (who'd have thought after Roberts). Kerr needs to go before we end up back in league 1 which is an utterly depressing thought.Anderson going back to Aberdeen doesn’t point to dressing room unrest. And any chat of Cameron being unambitious should be put to bed after how well he backed Kerr in the summer. There’s plenty of valid way to criticise Kerr but pointing to stuff like dressing room unrest, Cameron being unambitious or comparing him to Mark Roberts is complete and utter nonsense. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpInTheAyr Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Some kind of mad mental block going on with the team any time the ball goes in the net 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirepud Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Fully expect us to lose at Elgin next week, scramble a point at home to Alloa then we are staring at 5 defeats to Pars, Dundee, ICT, Hearts, Raith. We will be in bottom 2, if not bottom, by the end of February. How do we stop the rot as the team have no belief? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I would be happy if we paid Zanatta to sit in the house on a Saturday, he'll be part time next year, any club that pays him a full time wage is a mug. Apart from Reading, McCowan and Smith, you could bin the lot of them. People calling the team cowards on the match thread, there should be personal pride from some of these players and there is absolutely none, this looks like a Roberts team, as long as everyone has a good laugh we'll be ok. There is nothing that says this team wont get relegated, I have seen us play every team this season and the only team I would say that was worse than us is Alloa and even they are picking up results now. How can a team be so bad so quickly? This needs major surgery this month, 9 players in during the summer and with the exception of Smith, who we were lucky to get, every one has been absolutely stinking. Does Kerr get more money to spend on players? do we bring in a coach to help? do we sack Kerr and hope someone can change this team? We have gone from being in a play-off race, to a mid-table bore-fest to a relegation contender in a month. This is fucked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 I need to calm down a bit. I'll post something a bit more rational later. Right now I'm a bit of a seething mess... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkyshotton Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Based on that performance I can’t see us getting a point against Alloa. 0-0 would be our best chance as we concede to often when we score. Hope I’m wrong as that would put us deep in the mire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders1910 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Anderson going back to Aberdeen doesn’t point to dressing room unrest. And any chat of Cameron being unambitious should be put to bed after how well he backed Kerr in the summer. There’s plenty of valid way to criticise Kerr but pointing to stuff like dressing room unrest, Cameron being unambitious or comparing him to Mark Roberts is complete and utter nonsense. I know nothing about the reasons for Anderson returning to Aberdeen but that coupled with the teams general mental strength and susceptibility to crumbling in every match means that it is a possibility. It's either that or that Kerr just doesn't have a clue what he's doing? The comparison with Kerr and Roberts comes from the hoofball p*sh that's been witnessed every game this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we need is an honest appraisal of where we find ourselves now. Can the board find the money for 3 or 4 quality signings in January? Could another manager get more out of this group of players? Do we need serious back room changes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Think that I'm feeling Kerr needs to go now as well. It's not been easy given the wider context of everything that's been happening but it's the same for every team and the performances just havent been good enough. I think he needed an experienced head alongside him, but without that it looks like he's been unable to instill a particular identity in the way we play or even a basic expectation amongst his players in terms of commitment. Perhaps it's just an immediate reaction to the result today, but that's 4 in games on the bounce without a win and the collapses have been all too regular this season. Maybe I'll feel differently in the morning, that he should be at least given the January window to try and bring in some experience to arrest this worrying slide down the table, but the performances and now results eally haven't been good enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask me who though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Has Kerr done an old SFA thing and implemented one formation/system right through the club, down to the youths?I can't understand why we never ever change from the 4-2-3-1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be worse than Roberts. Would have to be somebody new to instil some order and discipline in the squad. I don't even really want Kerr gone but I just can't see him turning around the issues with this team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why we never ever change from the 4-2-3-1. Our best players support that formation. I don’t think it’s a formation issue to be honest. The issue is in the four, the two and the one of that formation though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
