When people say their one regret is, its usually after the fact where they can't change whatever it was. Maybe reading too much into it. Aye when i read it back it does look more like he's a gonner, maybe hand in his resignation to make it look better, as @D'Jaffo said though he's just got a new coach on the sidelines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayr23 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Does that quote not strike anyone else as completely batshit?For him to suggest that if he was on the park we'd somehow be much higher up the table is delusional. He'd be passing it on the deck out wide, for nothing to come from it. Batshit indeed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players like Walsh, Smith, Murdoch (and more) are are all a high standard of championship players but have all regressed under Kerr's management. That coupled with the Anderson and Cameron situation just shows that Kerr can't get the best out of players and doesn't know how to play to their strengths. This isn't their fault, this is the doings of a tactically inept and clueless management team. How can you not blame players where they show no fight or heart , no matter what the manager does any player who does not give 100% is a disgrace to their professional teammates , this is not supporting Kerr but stating obvious failings by some of the players 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders1910 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 And what? Peoples opinions can change you know. Some chose to give him a bit of time and it’s not worked. As I said before there are no special prizes for being one of the ones that wanted him sacked months ago. I don't think anyones looking for a prize. I don't know why the post has bothered you so much, you seem to be taking a light hearted dig at those who were burying their heads in the sand a bit too personally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part time teams with far less ability have class managers and are doing better than us. Hello Dick Campbell. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Our last 10 league games: 1 win; 3 draws & 6 losses. Can someone down in Ayr get the bed sheet out? It's time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 We simply have to have learned from Robert's last few weeks in charge. We cannot afford to be too sentimental about this, I'd love for Kerr to have sorted it but it's not worked. I harbour him no ill-will at all and it is genuinely sad for me to say but has to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 At this stage I'd consider poaching Arbroath's manager and hoping it hurts them as much as it helps us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numerous occasions today the likes of Smith, McCowan and Walsh couldn't trap a ball. Were getting the ball and instead of trying to take a man on were turning back and passing it to a man under pressure or straight to an opponent. That's on them. That said - its time to go. Has to be - not changing formation today was incredible, especially with Wright still out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Jaffo Posted February 27, 2021 Author Share Posted February 27, 2021 It’s wrong to lay the blame solely at Kerr or the players. It’s almost 50/50 I’d say. The players that have been signed have let Kerr down. However Kerr has signed those players and decided to fit them into a system that doesn’t work. It’s a total mix up of players not being good enough and shite management and tactics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you look ahead, you just cannot see a win coming our way the way things currently are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEHonestman1910 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) The players have let Kerr, the coaches and the fans down the season, constantly dropping arse after a goal goes in against them. In saying that, no matter how badly we think the players are, this team should not be second bottom of this division. The championship is a competitive league, but it's a shit league and if we would actually play with a more positive intensity we would win games. On paper we've got the fire power to do so.

Trogdor Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) The players have definitely let the manager down. No doubt. However, Kerr signed them so it rests with him ultimately. He's also stuck rigidly to a 4231 for too long. We've also had a share of bad luck (Wright being injured; Moore injured; Bell leaving). There are also shades of 2016/17 where we had no striker for long spells of the season. We all know how that ended. We need change.

super_carson Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Muirhead looked like he had a bit of fire in his belly towards the end, and I thought McKenzie tried hard when game on but it's hard to argue with Robbo's assement either. It is the managers job, however, to put the fear of god into them if they have a poor attitude or dont follow his plans. There's a saying about hard work beating talent when talent doesnt work hard. That may be true for Ayr but its Kerr's job to sort that out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
