    Kinnoull Kicker got a reaction from Maskrey in St.Mirren V St.Johnstone - 24th February   
    I have given Craig Levein and his sidekick the benefit of the doubt until now. It is clear to me that he / they are displaying pathological behaviours that are resulting in this squad performing far below its collective capability.
     
    There is no doubt that we are bereft of any width (save for the injury prone Wright). It was obvious that this was the case from the day Levein took over but he failed to recruit to at least attempt to resolve.  Kimpioga and Sidibi may get us out of jail but without supply this is doubtful. Prioritising the signing of Connor Smith just makes no sense given the central midfield options and he is yet to show any ability to create opportunities. Sprangler now clearly behind C Smith and Kucheravyi in the pecking order - what?
    There has to be an urgent change in approach or we sleepwalk into relegation.
    What’s wrong with reinstating May with Clarke and playing Kimpioga wide? What’s wrong with  playing May as a number 10 with Sidibi / Clarke or Kimpioga up front.  Robinson and Gallagher clearly are unable to play as creative wing backs and the jury is out on Keltjens. The go to back three lacks pace and prone to bombscares. Move to a back four now and at least try and make use of the pace that now exists to give width, stretch defences and give forwards at least a glimmer of hope of seeing a penalty box chance.  
     
    For god sake - release the shackles and try something different that gives at least a reasonable chance of picking up points. 
     
    Over and out!

    Pains me to say it but McLean and coaching staff need removed now. He was dealt a bad hand but was presumably integral to the squad overhaul despite the fact he had no managerial experience. McLean talk a good game but has simply failed to deliver -whether its recruitment or coaching he has failed. We are almost a third of the way through the season - not even looking like we can win and of course the League Cup was a disaster. Pointless him criticising and threatening players ( that in itself show an serious lack of man management skills given that he cannot change personnel until we are half way through the season), everything points to either they don’t want to play for him, tactics and team selection are wrong or the squad is simply not good enough. My guess is it’s a combination of all of this. At the end of the day the manger and coaches are responsible and to give any hope of avoiding relegation, changes need to happen NOW.
    What we need is for Geoff Brown preferably or whoever controls the Club to make a clear communication on how the Club plans to resolve the current situation and the timeline for action. As a season ticket holder ( along with my family) it is simply unacceptable that underperformance on so many fronts has persisted for so long.
