Problem is with the injuries and players we have who would make any difference?

We've heard precious little on when the players who are injured are likely to return. I suspect the lack of updates indicates its not soon.

Our defensive problems were there before we lost our injured players. We have only kept a clean sheet in 1 league game this season. 

So the question now becomes who do you trust with the January window to address the deficiencies in the squad and who do you trust to coach the players to defend better?

A new manager needs a few weeks to get familiar with the squad and see what he can coach into a better shape. To me that means they need the 3 games in December and the only way McCall is the manager in December is if he wins against Arbroath and Kelty.

They are not qualified by their own admission to run a football club so they have no opinion

Also they can't ask their benificiaries what they think as they don't know who they are.

However nothing to stop the benificiaries contacting the PTFC Trust - [email protected]

The Manager's position...............is now untenable.

His squad isn't what he bummed it up to be, even allowing for the bad luck that four key players are injured simultaneously.

He is  clearly unable to get a tune out of the ones that remain, as the persistent leaking of goals to set plays proves.

Did Caldwell ever lose six in a row?

Sorry Ian, but for all the genuine goodwill you have towards PTFC, your batteries have run dry, similar to Archie in 2017-18.

The Board hung on too too long then due to sentiment - that mistake must not be repeated.

How do the owners see it?

My guess

1. The expense in sacking 3 of them. Even if they’re out of contract at the end of the season, with a third of the way through this season that’s the equivalent of 2 years pay for one coach/manager

2. They saw him dig it out before towards the end of our stint in league one and so they owe him it

3. Best players are out but will return and so results will improve 

4. January window for some horse (or cart horse exits) trading 

5 finish in top 4 acceptable and in their eyes still possible, with 4th being deemed positive when we had key players out

But two very big games coming up and if returning players don’t fix it then they can’t avoid it 

Just my guess…

Maybe a bonkers idea but….offer it to Dools on a “prove it” deal until end of season on the assumption that he, plus the return of key players, are enough to keep us up and contending?

That way if we end up having to take some managerial retread, we at least will have tried some out-of-the-box thinking before arriving there.

Don’t think it’s that much of a bonkers idea but can’t see Dools working with the present chairperson after everything that has happened before which she was 100% part of .
