You say we are 'going backwards', but that is only your opinion. The last few results have been a disappointment, but so were the first few matches of the season. Were we 'going backwards' then? We soon went on to pick up some good results and put in a few decent performances as well.
You want to sack KC after a mere 13 matches, following a summer where he has been allowed to rebuild the squad - do you see how knee-jerk that is?
You say the youngsters would develop and come through, but are they yet good enough to compete at this level? In the continued absence of Watson I'd like to see Pollock given a start and I think J.Williams deserves a place in the 18 when he returns from his loan spell. I'd also like to see one of the strikers given a chance in place of Smith, who I think has looked poor, so I don't entirely disagree with the sentiment.
However I still think when all are fit we are able to put out a decent side for this level and I can't see how any of the youth players will currently do more than warming the bench when we are at full strength. Harriman, Wharton, Goode, Turnbull, McCormack, Watson, A.Williams and Adams would all be nailed on starters for me. That leaves just 2 outfield positions for the rest. Would you drop any of those I've just listed for any of the youth?
Of course I state my opinion .... it’s what people do on message boards !!
We are going backwards because the consistency of results are no better than they have been since Austin left , the home form has hardly improved , the quality of play is worst than its ever been and there are now no youngsters playing at all.
I do not see where your optimism lies for finishing anywhere near the play off zone or even in the top half .
Yes we have had injuries but Curle has signed ageing injury prone players on not insignificant wages .
As for 13 games - we didn’t progress throughout last season either and so it makes it a calendar year in my book that we have gone nowhere
