It got quite heated at one question and I don't think he came across well. A fan brought up that he feels the club are being naive to their position after 18 months of struggling and now bottom of the league, especially given we've been in this spot before. Caldwell said its unacceptable, which basically ended in Caldwell saying "we've had 83 shots on goal in my time here" and responded with "but we've only scored 2".
Very guarded responses about signings and departures. Didn't have a number when asked about the minimum signings needed. Asked about short and long term signings, but was a scattered response. Basically hes got people identified he wants in and similarly he wants out. However if there are no suitors for the players Caldwell wants out, we'll just have to keep them and work with that. Bannigan and Quitongo they are "speaking to and their agents" regarding January but also sounds like they may have other options. Would prefer players with experience in Scotland to come in.
Scouting network is 3 volunteers down south and basically the management team in Scotland.
Confidence being low and fear in the team was alluded to a lot. Sadly, I got the impression he seems to rate Miles Storey which was severely alarming. Thinks the goals we concede in the second half of games aren't down to fitness (which he feels has improved) nor lack of ability, its a mental thing.
It was a lot of cliches and vagueness, and the usual shite folk as at these things don't think theres a lot to say really. I didn't give me any more positivity than before the meeting.

Nah they can use the terracing as well. The minimum capacity and all seater crap has gone since the SPFL replaced the SFL and SPL.
-
They can play at Somerset now in the Premier League without any issues.

You'd have a right good giggle comparing the wages paid by Ayr and ourselves, especially when you add in that we are 23 points behind them before Christmas has even arrived.
What a banter club we are.
-
I'm going to head along to this. I think in his interviews with the press and jagzone he's ranged from vague to outright dishonest, so I want to see just how much thinking he's putting into this at the moment, especially on the player movement front in January.
-
I'm ******* fed up of "positives" "signs of improvement" "something to build on" heard these soundbytes from Archie, the players and now Caldwell endlessly and its the same results each time. Just produce wins ffs.

It’s all well and good saying we’ll get rid of the duds in January, but
1. Who else would have them?
2. We’d need to pay up their contracts and we don’t have the money
3. Is anything better going to be available in January?
We’re deep in the shit and it’s all well sayings that improvements are being made, but we’re bottom of the table and not getting results.
Thats going to be a problem. Most of these lads are done as full-time footballers and headed for the real world come June, and most will no doubt dig their heels in, in that regard.
-
Neilson and McKinnon have had some bad results too since coming in but have blatantly improved on the shite that was there previously.
I haven't seen that from Caldwell. My trust in him at this point is low. He deserves none.
-
Its the same shite.
Same shite being picked every week.
Same shite gutless style of play.
Same shite soundbytes from a clueless manager.
His position needs to be under consideration, because I've no faith in him to do anything positive in the window and we've already ****** things up once by sacking managers between windows.
-
Here we goooooooo, two in a rowwwwwwwwwwww
-
They'll be even worse without them is my point.
-
Falkirk are rotten and have their front two out on Saturday out on international duty. A defeat here would be utterly unacceptable and I expect us to win actually.
-
Bannigan whilst nowhere near our worst is well overrated IMO. He's never kicked on. Still gets booked a lot, never added much in the way of goals or assists to his game.

Aww wits up pal day you no like it back its no ma fault its archies ya nob put your dummy back in thickest posters are the ones that want to give this dick more time a take it u were not at the game yesterday archie got caldwells tactics all wrong ya fool
Who was the manager when we got relegated? Who signed all these players? Who was the manager when we were playing games with 4 subs? Who was the manager when we were losing to shite like East Fife? Who was the manager who also was winless in his away games?
Some people are more invested in Archie than the club. It's pathetic. Caldwell has had a rancid start, but yet people can't overlook how hard done by poor wee Alan Archibald was and have suddenly forgotten just how shite we had been for 18 months.

I've no problem with him calling players out. They've been getting protected for months and its done nothing. They're now effectively playing for their careers at this point as the next drop down is to the part-time ranks. If this doesn't make them wake up and smell the coffee, then nothing will. A lot of them are gutless.

You seem to have avoided the question on if you watched today's game or not?
Putting that aside the other question remains would you back this clown or not? Your happy to keep harming back to Archie he's gone do you think Caldwell will get us promoted?
You said I was having a laugh and I answered why I believe the fans are too lenient with their expectations of the club.
Wasn't there today, and to be honest, being hounded 5-1 by a below average team in this league is a scandalous result, and up there with our all time worst for me. He has a window for me to prove he can turn it around.

After today you really are having a laugh. If change us what you craved how are you enjoying tonight? Then again maybe not hurting much as you never had to watch the outcome of those crap and ridiculous halftime decisions.
We backed ourselves into a corner when we kept backing a shot fighter and then sacked him between windows with Caldwell left to pick up the shit. If the fans were loud enough at various points before this he'd have gone, but the same old shite kept ringing despite things getting worse and worse. Killie 5-1, last minute goals v Dundee/Hamilton, RC 4-0, the play offs v lower opposition. Even before the window closed when it was obvious we were miles off the so called aim of a title challenge. He could have all gone at those points but was backed again and again by fans who let him away with months of piss poor results. Archie would have been emptied by other clubs long before he was here, and that's as much down to a lot of the fanbase who were continuously supportive of his position despite the teams decline as it is the board who lacked the stones to get rid of their pals.
-
I really do blame the fans. Low self esteem as ****. Defended Archie until the bitter end. Even after Livi it was " but who else could do the job?". Congratulating the club all over social media for sticking with Archie. Ridiculed fans who wanted a change. No other clubs fans of a similar stature would have put up with this shit for so long. We get what we deserve.

If he has any stones he will tell some of these lads they can leave tomorrow, by any means necessary. Nevermind their lack of ability the shitebaggery of many of these boys is just poisonous.

This all goes back to the board. They hasn't the bottle to sack Archie when they should have both last season and after relegation. Then they appoint a ******* useless manager.
Some fans are as much to blame. They kept asking for more and more time and mocked and ridiculed those who wanted him out. We can't make the same mistake with Caldwell and these players.
-
Worst result since we were horsed 4-0 by Clyde under the bunnet.
-
Not good enough. Some players need to leave next week. Caldwell has a window to turn it around or can get to **** an all. My patience is being tried already.

Meet the Manager - Tuesday 6pm

"Nightmare" on p&b has given a very good rundown of the whole thing, very detailed.
One thing I will say positively, is I do think that he is working his arse off to change things despite all the shit thats going on.
