Kerr frustration in his post match interviews in the recent weeks has probably matched most fans. I don't expect he has any huge emotional attachment to the club in the way most fans do but with this being his first managerial post, if it goes badly it could well be his only one in the senior game. He could easily come out and say "rub of the green" or "we just don't have the resources to compete" like previous managers, blame budgets or training facilities or luck but he has been reasonably honest (comments about the midfield in the QOTS game aside) about the teams failings. He of course is the only one who can influence change and has hired most of the currently underperforming/failing squad. His evident frustration has made me think that he should be given time to get it right or at least try to. Gary Caldwell was a warning that players with a philosophy don't make good managers, Kerr hasn't had players traumatised in a mock kidnapping yet so I have hope that he can turn it around. Hope doesn't trump facts though so he needs to start quickly. I think it's more a case of having to accept our limitations. I do agree that we've been terrible at times, however that's just a sign of the times I'm afraid. Players at all levels would appear to be regressing and that's obvious to see when the top players in virtually all the leagues seem to be 30's and above. The fact remains that a couple of wins will have us top 3 and ultimately all the teams in this league are as bad as each other. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have a striker called Cammy Keith who always seems to be on the scoresheet for them. Think he scored last round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North British Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 These cup games should be a huge priority for us , If I remember correctly we pocketed about £60k for getting past County last season ,Skyline should be able to confirm . I know we are well capable of making an arse of it in the Highlands on Tuesday , but it’s high time these players maned up and punched their weight . Win on Tuesday and the caliber of who we bring in in the window could increase exponentially . Not to mention what we can offer Smithy .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not particularly confident for Tuesday based on recent form but in reality it's a game we absolutely should be going up and winning, and then should be getting through the next tie as well - it's a great opportunity to be in the last 16 with a minimum of fuss. Note the use of 'should' rather than 'will' haha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the reality is that they're a part time outfit 2 leagues below us and have already lost 33% of their league games this season, so despite our recent poor form we really shouldn't be going there expecting anything other than a comfortable win. Of course, it may not turn out like that as we know all too well, however we certainly shouldn't be worried about going up there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of English Premiership sides are bordering on actively trying to lose in the early rounds of the Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did still have a big dumpling Dallinson who wasn't particularly good at Falkirk at centre half though....but yeah agree with you. Ayr will be playing strongest team you would assume so wont have the excuse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Championship team wanted him and made it known he’d be involved then I don’t see why they wouldn’t choose to send him to a higher level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know what Hamilton’s situation is coming back into Livingston is , but scoring today has done his chances of a first team slot no harm at all . However with Livingston in with a real shout at a European place maybe they won’t experiment too much . We seem to have a decent relationship with Livingston so maybe they see us as a decent option for his further development . On the other hand it could well be big Loko as he’s done at Raith and nowhere near the Livingston first team . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
