    What's the two or three things you look for

    When you go to the football for a season?

    I see a lot of absolute drivel posted after a bad defeat and think folk just like to move the goalposts.

    I look for league position 9th to 6th......anything above is seriously punching upwards.

    I look for decent home form, winning more than we lose.

    I HOPE for a break in cup draws to get a half decent run.

    I look for a connection between manager team and fans.

    I look for us to be organised and professional on the park.

    After that I actually don't expect too much on the pitch.....I expect a helluva lot more off but let's no go there

    I think we have had most of the above some of/most of the time this season.

    I dinnae want a baby bathwater situation developing here.

    I really hope Elvis is here next season.

    Pretty much the same but expect total commitment at every derby and some decent football if possible.
    Think we had all that with the last manager despite his record since.
    For these reasons I expect it's 50/50 whether they keep the current manager or not.
    Although this can't be good practice for the club.
    If he goes I'm no fussed and probably the same if he stays,might learn from some of he's errors against dabs.

    I think for a lot of the time we have been and think there has been a connection after a brutal first 9/10 games when I wouldn't have been surprised if he thought **** this.

    I think he's a guid fit for Strachan/nelms master plan that dosent mean I agree with the plan.

    Once I went back after my issue I've enjoyed this season.

    Think we need to add some old pros who want to play and are not completely broken, fitness wise.
    Would quite like some really grumpy fans to direct their anger at the opposition and the officials rather than our players and manager.

    I like Elvis, but I feel we seem to fall back into the pattern we seen at the start of the season, I fear we might go through it again next season as we build with a new team and he has to gel them into his way of playing, I think we?re to cautious at times we always seem to go backwards before going forwards, free kicks on the half way line should be put into opposition box not back to the keeper,

    Derby?s were terrible this season bar one, I?m maybe old school but to lose a Derby 3-0 and not have one yellow card speaks for its self, not asking for legs broken but a bit more aggression wouldn?t go a miss

    If you stand off and don't tackle you don't get booked!!!! Shocking performance from start to finish.

    YOU will be lucky to get 2 or 3 out of that list as long as JOHN NELMS is in charge.
