Away to Hearts on 4th March according to ICT Instagram. Can't find any more details about venue or time as it may clash with our game at Firhill in the evening. I think they play these games at Tynie though as opposed to Oriam, which probably means evening rather than afternoon. The official websites that should have this are worse than useless.

The difference being that in 2016-17 we were hurtling towards relegation wheras, despite poor results and performances, we remain in contention for promotion with no threat at all of dropping down a division. There may well come a time to discuss the manager's future but not until this season has been concluded.

At least let him have the season, the end of which is a better time to judge how things have went.

I agree with the sentiments above. It is his first season. We were spoilt with our early season form, which has made the last four months seem very poor. But before the season started, I’m sure the vast majority of us would have been happy to start February in the position we are in. With the freshening up of the squad, now is the time to kick on and aim for a first or, at worst, second place finish. If we miss out, that is the time to review our position, not now.

Its a hard job, and like others I would say cut him some slack ... He is trying to manage our team with basically nothing in terms of resources. The pandemic has put paid to a lot of income and any measures in place to help are temporary and minimal to say the least. We are at the right end of the table and the recent activity in the window to release Duku and get a few bodies in that might turn things around are an acknowledgement that things need to change. We can all look down the road to Rugby Park or elsewhere and wish it were us (except Starks Park), but Killie are betting the farm on getting back up in one season - just like we did after our first relegation - and if it fails they are in deep s***. We can replace Dodds if you want, but then the new manager would have the same players, and even less finances to work with once we deduct any payoff needed for him and any of the backroom team that might have to go too ... Who do you suggest that would provide the spark that Dodds cannot in your eyes?

It’s his first season as a boss outright, cut the guy some slack!

Pointless! BD is going nowhere so we just carry on and what will be will be...
