You seem to lack the facility to handle facts Ross. This is supposed to be a thread in support of your hero, and there seems to be a severe lack of it coming his way. Maybe....just maybe.....you and the rest of the happy clappers are in the minority!

Right, this is supposed to be a thread in support of our hero, so why don?t you go post elsewhere?

... and look beyond the horizon, there is a world outside this forum:

Jefferies will today come face to face with another man he admires - Inverness boss Craig Brewster.

The Killie manager said: "Caley Thistle are an established SPL club. They've done well to consolidate their place in the top league.

"They say it's hard and people write them off but they continue to stay in the top flight.

"Craig was doing really well for them before he left for Dundee United but now he's back and is doing a great job."

sure he?s not the only one.

I'm not a regular poster to this site (but am a regular viewer), and it seems to me that Brewster will never be able to do anything right in the eyes of some on here. I've recently read various opinions from a number of fans on this site which include:-

We've lost the game and it's Brewster's fault (albeit that there have been some basic defensive errors)

We've won the game, but not played well, and it's Brewster's fault (not the players though?)

He should give the youngsters a chance

He should stick with experience

The defence are making too many errors and he should now go with Munro & Duff

He goes with Munro and Duff and we concede a poor goal against Morton

McAllister's playing well in the reserves and should be given a chance in the first team

McAllister's not cut out for the SPL and should be farmed out / offloaded

We use too many young players without experience

We should give youth a chance and get them some experience

He should give younger players a chance against lower league opposition in the cup

He should put out the strongest side to beat lower league opposition in the cup

As Greavsie said "it's a funny old game", and the above conflicting opinions come from all of us "armchair experts" who think we know where it's going wrong - but we can't all be right. Brewster will be judged, in time, on how he's performed - and that should be on results first, and style of play/performances second!

I understand why fans are irate about the performance against Morton last night. On paper we should be much better than them, should beat them in normal time (even with some youth playing). However, Hibs on paper are a better side than us and they found it very tough against Morton - this was always a potential banana skin of a fixture. The bottom line is we're in the QF's and showed character & resilience last night to get there. If we're going to blame Brewster for the performance, surely he should then get credit for ensuring that the fight and attitude where there to force home the victory (even if it wasn't pretty)?

Let's get things in perspective:-

Whilst disappointed with the manner of the victory last night, we're through to the QF's.

Although home performance in the SPL haven't been great, we're sitting mid-table which, on balance, is probably where we generally belong (albeit with the odd flutter a bit higher).

Whilst we'll possibly/probably lose talent to bigger clubs, the youth set-up seems strong and we've some good young players coming through.

Football supporters can be emotional and fickle beings, but calling for Brewster to be sacked after a (poor performing) victory, seems to be taking things a bit far
