We've been poor for the last 6-7 games. We look uninterested, our discipline is shocking too, are we going for a red card every week? Cowdenbeath were a poor team but we were rotten. I think we had one chance in the second half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time your manager lost a game v Cowden he got sacked a few days later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think questions will start to be getting asked. A tweet came out last night that I thought looked as if excuses were being made.

guvnor Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Maybe the manager should shoulder the blame I can’t believe how bad Kyle Munros form has dropped he started the season on fire but has looked as if he is totally uninterested could this be anything to do with the manager 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quentin Taranbino Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 KR would always struggle with us (Stirling) getting us out of a slump or a bad run. It's like he gives up himself and runs out of ideas. He gets truly miserable and I'm sure it rubs off on the rest of the dressing room The amount of post match interviews we got where he blamed injuries, suspensions, dodgy referee decisions and "just no getting the luck right now" was unreal. There was a long time where he was coming and saying we were playing well and giving 100% but somehow world was conspiring against us and that's why we couldn't get back on a winning run. He also has no idea how to manage discipline. I'm pretty sure we got fined by SFA because out discipline was so bad. Cards galore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin wasn't actually sacked mate. He was told by the board that he had to start winning after a bad run of defeats. He chose mutual termination rather than carry on. In fairness to you, assuming he was sacked is an understandable mistake.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We started the season already short on options in defence because of injuries. Then we got another and another and ended up with pretty much no back four. Not even a back 3. That's when the wheels came off. One of the things that killed Kevin, was that he just would not bring in loan players to dig us out of it. He had this attitude that they wouldn't play for the jersey. He just didn't get it that loan players will often bust a gut just to get first team football and impress their own club. Hopefully a lesson learned on that, because that killed him more than anything. What compounded it was an insistence on playing a big, slow, unfit, overweight striker who couldn't jump. The players made that worse by continually pumping high balls at him to Kevin's frustration. 9 times out of 10 all he could do was knock it on with the top of his head to a grateful opposition defence. Mostly because his faster partner was being played behind him??? When the incredible bulk finally got subbed off knackered, the punting would cease and they'd start giving the opposition a hard time. Why Kevin failed to see that I do not know? He shot himself in the foot really, as he had signed some good players, one of whom was wrecked by Covid for some time. If he's learned from it I think there's a good manager in there trying to get out, but geez he didn't half commit unnecessary suicide at Stirling. I still wish him well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking to a guy on Saturday after the game and he was questioning weather KR wants to be one of the boys or the manager.
