I wouldn't replace Curle yet either. He should be given the season, or the bulk of it at least. He certainly should be given enough time that he can put his best team out, something he has hardly been able to do yet because of injuries.
What would be the point in letting him rebuild the squad and then sacking him after just 13 matches? It would be a crazy decision IMO. Give him until spring.
The league is very tight and a couple of good results will see us shoot up the table.
Plenty of teams have already changed managers this season.....12 to be exact. If its not working, its not working.
I don't subscribe to the theory that he should just get the bulk of the season...because I just don't see any progress. I'd argue that the standard of football and entertainment is less this season than last season. Giving him till spring or whenever, and certainly thinking that KT will give further backing in January is just pure folly.
As for injuries....come on, every team has them. If we have been unlucky with injuries then how much of that is down to the type of player we brought in or the types of training and fitness work we do....again, that points to Curle.
McCormack (who looked quality on Saturday I will add) for example only featured in 19 league games last season, why expect anything different with us another year down the line?
We can hardly cry about injuries when we are bringing that type of player in. What next, cry about bookings and suspensions too, because some of the players are undisciplined, timewasters....again, that all comes back to.....
Yes, there have been 13 league games this season, but add that to the last nine games of last season and we have gained 6 wins in 22, three at home and three away.
