    Totally agree. My guess is that he must have agreed to give it a go with Abbo and Dreary, and the. If it isn’t working out bring in his own team, but Edin has now said no due to empty piggy bank, raided the sofa, drawers,jars everything.

    Although I understand where you are coming from its a bit like asking a joiner to build a kitchen but they don't have a hammer or saw to do the job he can only do so much with the items in front of him.

    Grayson didn't do much better. McCall lost 6 on the trot. Collins was out of his depth and had no answers. Hopkinson's record is awful.
    Hello! Do you see a pattern here?

    Dont look like its the coach/manager

    Write the names of all our players and how they were rated before coming to BC
    Look at that and think why are they how they are playing for BC

    Hopkin hasn't been a rip roaring success, and I'm not convinced hes the right man, but he's pretty much the only option at this stage. no one else would want it if he walked/got sacked.

    we'll have to stick with him and hope for the best.

    getting rid of Greg and Drury would be helpful.

    Making some interesting decisions but it’s almost like he’s given up on this squad and set of players and will wait for January. Not that we will get anything in of any quality.

    He needs his backroom team in. We need some experience heads. I don’t doubt he’s a decent manager but at Livingston his coaches may have been some of the brains behind it too? Who knows but it’s clear we are not improving

    Won't make ANY difference. It's all the fault of David just as it was , Stuart, Larry , Michael and the fans that don't agree with Edin. Also the players that were friends of Stuart, JM and all the other staff that had to be removed.

    Even if you accept your opening statement regarding NKP (which I would find surprising since he's been ever-present for the last two seasons and I would have thought someone would have mentioned the fact by now) you got your wish versus Rochdale. NKP was dropped to the bench by the 'poor mans Grayson'. You can hardly blame him for the injury to Mellor. Maybe he's not as out of his depth as you're making out.

    I stand by my statement that NKP is terrible. Has been since January this year, he plays like he wishes he was somewhere else, as I said, would rather see a youngster in his place.
