I must add though that I also cannot believe that our manager keeps rolling out the same excuses and blaming the players.
On Saturday, I watched in disbelief as Stone kicked out every one of his goal kicks into a storm force wind, rather than build from the back. Obviously we, the fans, have been asking for our keeper to do just that for 9 months, or at least vary the situation, alternating between building from the back and kicking, but on Saturday he blasted the ball high into the air so that it inevitably came back towards him and was intercepted by the Kelty forward line.
Was this deliberate? Was this Marvin sticking two fingers up at the fans and 'proving' that kicking out from goal is futile?
I couldn't care less anymore what he thinks, he certainly is not a manager of football players, and he has absolutely no idea how to play to the conditions.
One of the initial posters on here said "it will be windy, keep the ball on the deck"....but that was like a red rag to a bulk and Bartley did the exact opposite.

We have 4 matches left and anyone from Queens, Stirling and Annan could be in the play - off spot and Bartley needs to realise that it's his future that is at stake not the players.

It's over to you Marvin. You got the team into this mess, and you need to ensure we get out of it.
Great post Jardi - absolutely spot on - but I doubt even if he reads this he will still blame anyone or anything rather than himself.
