'It is time Kettlewell was no longer at Rugby Park'

Iain: Unfortunately, it appears that the manager cannot get the results Kilmarnock now need to avoid a relegation battle. Gazza: We showed in the first half that the players have the capacity to play some very decent football, an expected lack of confidence and two tier refereeing meant we only went in one up. The second half showed how much damage our manager can cause when tinkering, it was obvious Graeme Shinnie would enter and Aberdeen would come at us.

We asked for your views on Kilmarnock's 2-1 Premiership defeat by Aberdeen, which makes it 10 games without a win.

Here's what some of you said:

Iain: Unfortunately, it appears that the manager cannot get the results Kilmarnock now need to avoid a relegation battle. Therefore, while there is still time for a new manager to make a difference the Killie board needs to act.

Dan: Yet again bad decisions by all officials cost Killie the game. These decisions are costing teams and managers are going to lose jobs because of them!

Gazza: We showed in the first half that the players have the capacity to play some very decent football, an expected lack of confidence and two tier refereeing meant we only went in one up. The second half showed how much damage our manager can cause when tinkering, it was obvious Graeme Shinnie would enter and Aberdeen would come at us. Why oh why did we sit back, Stuart Kettlewell? Care to enlighten us? Oh well Killie board, you have a massive decision to make. Don't get it wrong again.

John: Rubbish. Marcus Dackers is way off the pace so is George Stanger and Robbie Deas, in fact most of the team is. Fifteen minutes to go you knew defeat was coming.

Peter: Started well, got ahead and tried to hold on despite the fact that we never keep clean sheets. Then our manager complains we played too deep in the second half, isn't he in charge? All that said a ludicrous decision for their penalty!

Frank: I have been a Kilmarnock fan for over 65 years and never felt so distant from the club. It is time Kettlewell was no longer at Rugby Park. He is dragging the club down, no excuses it's his group of players, he decides the tactics and picks the team. If he has one ounce of dignity he would resign.
