    Unfortunatly the last time we had anything to be positive about was 2 years ago when Stuart was last in charge, it seems like a lifetime, we are still nicely placed for at least a play off place it just a matter if Stuart can change the squad mentality and turn our form around he knows what expected and love the mans enthusiasm.

    Rumours are that edin ripped that picture off the wall when he sacked McCall.. Nice to see it where it belongs anyway!

    I think the picture going back up is quite funny and a nice thing to do.

    The scarves for stuart thing is cringey though and looks like someone trying to justify a job. The atmosphere on Saturday will surely look after its self and we can surely save the gimmicks for when we need a bit of a momentum push after we get some results.

    Excellent analysis from Rhodes. I hadn’t realised that other clubs were spending much more than we were. I don’t want to be critical of Rhodes as he clearly running the club on a budget that is sustainable which very few other clubs are doing. He certainly knows how to cut a current in half!

    I WAS being optimistic! OK. So lets take those final 6 losses out of the picture. The bad run of form that "led to his sacking".

    He'd be on 1.73 ppm. Completely discounting those games.

    Now say he continued his pretty regular win record of between 41 - 45%. (We'll go for 45% cos we are being optimistic and we'll round up) and say he would have won 3 of those 6 without Edin's meddling and HendrieGate. He also has a 25% draw record. So off those final 6 games we would expect him to have at least drawn 1. So we'll be REALLY optimistic and say he draws 2. :p So from those final 6 games (of which he lost all of them) We'd actually see 11 points... giving us 1.74 ppm. (He'd have nearly been better off not playing them. :p)

    But yeah. Lets go with the super optimistic 1.74 ppm. Over 15 games we'd see 26 points... finishing on 73 points and probably JUST make the playoffs.

    18/19 = 71
    17/18 = 75
    16/17 = 70
    15/16 = 75
    14/15 = 71

    It's going to be TIGHT. Even if we are being optimistic and Stuart does very very well.

    Regarding Stuart's return I'm reminded of the remark by Dr Johnson concerning a man remarrying that it was 'the triumph of hope over experience'.

    Proper assistant helps as well. The Drury saga ends thankfully.

    At least we are likely to try shooting at goal now.

    I wouldn't call it backwards, the club need instant stability and unity with the fans after Bowers sacking and hopefully McCall will provide that, the place was becoming very toxic again. I would have preferred Warnock myself but happy with McCall.

    That's an important point that shouldn't be ignored. He's here as the manager this time, not head coach.
