Lets be clear, at 2-0 today every single one of them threw in the towel and just gave up out there.

Ability is one thing - we all know that they are just a bunch of fairly limited footballers at the end of the day - but attitude is another thing entirely and should be a given for every player, yet we sadly lack in that department too.

Same just giving up as happened today also happened last time down there, at Killie at xmas, against the Tims at least twice this year, and there have been loads of other games where the attitude and desire on display has been totally unacceptable.

Thelin had a long post match debrief apparently. Well its not worked before so what is going to be different now?

Ive been told the Aussie winger is signed & 3 other signings are agreed and defo coming in, but cant be announced until post season. Ive no idea how accurate that is, but I do sincerely hope both that this is true and also that is only the start as that team still needs loads of work.
You are right about performances like today being something that has happened on numerous occasions this season with the current squad of players and Thelin.

But the bigger picture is these performances have been happening regularly under 5 or 6 different managers with completely different squads over the last 5 or 6 years.

I can see certain individuals chomping at the bit (not yourself) to start calling for Thelin to be sacked but is it really going to make a difference?

We have been chopping and changing managers yearly this decade but it hasnt made any difference, just a rinse and repeat scenario.

Personally I would like to see us give a manager a few years to try to build something, its not like the usual suspects will give the next manager more than 6 months before they start calling for his head.
