I think generally we lack backbone and fighting spirit as a team and I think that if fans see positive changes happening in that direction , a team that doesn't crumble when we lose an "unfair" goal or don't get a decision , a team that aren't bottlers then fans will give the new manager time.
We should however be "expecting" to sit in top six pre xmas,and if not be bl##dy close
The current squad being described as a nice bunch of lads to me is a problem because we are over run by teams that are not nice.
We need players who will get stuck in when required like tattie , simmie ,lee richardson.
That all said I still want flair players and attractive football but that I thinks comes from a team which is mentally and physically tough
