Harper has resigned!, resigned to the fact that he hasn't got a clue and Hoofball doesn't work against Fort William like it doesn't against Brechin/Elgin etc.
Sorry if first 3 words got anyone excited!

A This is up there with Sunnybank/Hawick Royal Albert and Glasgow University in ineptitude in our history. With Glasgow Uni and Hawick Royal Albert, we won the away replays.

Totally agree, today's performance was absolutely abject. No leadership or game plan was evident. However, disagree with the gathering bandwagon that Kevin should be given the boot. This guy came in late last year and pretty much saved us from the probable oblivion of relegation to the Lowland League. Reckon the guy deserves a reasonable amount of time to attempt to turn things around. Just saying.

What is reasonable? Brogan + 1?

Can't include the brechin game as I wasn't there but the last 5 games excluding that one have been the same. Rank rotten. We can't wait. We can't take the risk. It's gone arse up and he has to go.

Wasn't at the game today but it doesn't look like we've made any progress since the last game.
I was questioning the Brogan signing policy, such as it was, from before a ball was kicked last season so I'm not a happy clapper by any stretch. I'm with Prof though, Kevin is due a bit of time to turn this around.
I feel sorry for him, he was a hero last year and no doubt felt like he was due a better gig than the Rovers. I wouldn't have argued with that assessment either. About a dozen games later he must be thinking his belated chance at a managerial career is on its last legs. And he's probably right.
There's clearly something wrong though and he needs to get it sorted. He was the saviour last year. He's due a bit of time. Cove next week is probably a bust. Stirling and Stenny are winnable. Lose next week and lose to Stirling and we need someone new for the Stenny game.

Colletively a less than ideal performance.
Fort William players and fans were over the moon and applauded if by our remaining fans.
The frustration heading towards and up the tunnel was seen in our players but our goalkeeper Daniel Potts was bang out of order lunging at an albion rovers fan.
Surely the freefall can't continue thank goodness we are not facing Cove next week.

It may have been over the top but I would rather see that than just trudge off licking his wounds.

It's all very well giving the manager more time if there is even the slightest green shoot of recovery on show. There isn't.
More time for the manager will see us out of the Cup and rooted to the foot of the table. Is that what we want ?
Even when we were on a bad run last season under KH there were visible signs of improvement and in some games we were playing well and unlucky not to get something. This is different. That was a bunch of non triers yesterday unwilling to play for this manager.
The players must also take a huge amount of culpability for that performance but to be sent out to play in such a tactically shambolic manner against a dreadfully poor FW side is unforgiveable.
The end of the road for me.

He should have showed some passion shouting at his teammates during the 90 mins of the game He should have went down the tunnel head held in shame

What's actually gone wrong?? Made first few games of season but haven't been able to get back since the 4-4 with Cove. I left that thinking if we could tighten up the defence we could be in the mix for the play offs. We were playing some good football, looked like lots of goals in the team and attitude seemed spot on. But wheels seem to have come completely off. What's happened??
