One thing I'm sure, it'll be everybody's fault bar his. Has never accepted any responsibility.

All I can say is new goalkeeper. why is it always the keepers fault. 1st goal keeper going the way of the ball but half hearted block takes it back the way it came, nothing the keeper could do but I seen he got a hand on it. Second goal all the players from both sides crowding the keeper but who ever was on the right of the goal should have done better. Third goal was lost by Will just over the halfway line and a fantastic cross into the path of the on rushing striker who took it well. The midfield seem to be missing in the games I have witnessed. They don't have the urgency and drive to get in the faces of their opponents and as a result it will be one way traffic which no team can sustain, the game against Cove on Tuesday sums this up. I would agree with other comments that Smart is lazy and looks uninterested with his SEE not far behind.

Big deal, if he did well at the cove game and saved some good saves, but he still let 3 goals in and 3 today,we are a struggling team.

Potts is nowhere near good enough for this level and unfortunately he's proved that since he played his first game for the Rovers. Doesn't make him a bad person, he just needs to find his level - as we all do at whatever we choose to do for a living.
That said, he was blameless today.

He was unfairly (in my opinion)thrown in at the deep in that League 1 match at Ayr after Bowman quit having never played a league game previously. At that point Brian Kerr (rightly) wanted to bring in an experienced `keeper on loan but was knocked back by the powers that be.

We’re do we actually go from here if Kevin stays in the job. Does anyone who has watched the last 4 games actually see us getting ourselfs out of this troubled situation which we are in. What things does people think he could change to make things better on the field. The players don’t seem to know how to go back to doing basic stuff on the park when the going gets tough. I feel we need to roll our sleeves up and get stuck in like we mean it and stop giving the ball away so easily when we are in possession.
Thoughts anyone

We were bottom of the league for a minute this afternoon, that's how close we are. We are not mid-table, nor are we near (or anywhere good enough) to a play-off spot.
We are rotten & by all accounts there doesn't even appear to be glimmers of hope. The buck stops with the manager - time to go.

No surprises for me today.Stirling are a better team than Rovers pure and simple.I said that after we defeated them earlier in the season.
KH is unable to stop the rot and we have an ineffectual board who will huff and buff until we are rooted to the foot of the table.
Hand on heart we all know where this season is heading but I can't see anything changing.
Thanks for everything Kevin but it's time to step down so we can try and salvage our season.

Not at the game today so won't try and defend anything, it's a rank rotten result.
KH did prove he can get us out it, worth remembering we are not in the same position as last year. Is it the case that these players need a kick up the backside or a cuddle? I don't know.
We have some winnable games in November, and realistically if the worst happens we won't be cut adrift. I wouldn't press the panic button just yet. Who is to say he won't be replaced by another Brogan.

Doesn't make him a bad person, he just needs to find his level - as we all do at whatever we choose to do for a living. That said, he was blameless today. Absolute nonsense. Potts has been immense during the past few matches and saved us from a cricket score on Tuesday evening. He should've saved one of the goals today (scramble in box) but the other players around him need to look themselves in the mirror. This isn't a one man scape goat issue. It's a team issue and we need a consistent confident team on the park. Not a constantly changing starting eleven. I would be the first to have a go at Potts if I thought it was justified. It isn't justified. Peter

Let's see in the next 2 games what happens, we need our stronger team in all departments.

The fairies at the bottom of your garden may agree with you in relation to Potts, Peter but that doesn't mean they're right either. Potts wouldn't get a game for any other team in this league. He's only getting a game for Rovers because Goodfellow is an absolute liability. Probably the one big decision that Kevin may look back on as being the rock on which his Rovers tenure faltered..... failure to recruit a decent first choice keeper and competent back up.
As for the rest I think they're all decent enough for L2 level. They're just not interested in producing a decent performance for Kevin. No idea why but it's obvious. The fact Kevin has no idea what his best starting 11 is doesn't help. Or who his best captain is - I'm beginning to think they have that on a rota.

One of the concerns I have is over the captain role. This seems to be a case of pass the parcel at present which must be unsettling. In the past the captain was the pivotal role and you can think of Mick Dunlop/Willie Leishman/Davie Main and Duncan Shields to name a few, who would be barking out orders and pulling team mates up for basic errors. There seems to be silence in our defence ranks and can permeate through the rest of the team on match days. They are talented individuals and are better players than the Brogan squad , but there seems a lack of understanding with each other and how to string moves together e.g. forwards running off defenders to create chances for someone supporting/ midfield who drive forward as a unit to support forwards and defenders creating overlap runs down the wings. I am no Jurgen Klop but these are basics in all leagues that we seem to lack.

I am no Jurgen Klop but these are basics in all leagues that we seem to lack. Have said same recently. No real captain on the park. I think it is very clear that KH had 'lost the dressing room' big time. I don't think he can recover it as the team doesn't appear to be playing for him at all.
