It might be the fitness coach that's turning it around but I can't help feeling it's just 'everyone,' inc fans, pulling together at the club that's giving us that extra urge.
One thing I've always liked about Kear even when I've really wanted him out to stop the traditional trinity rot is he always believes, even at 30-0 down his RL brain must be re-routing to find away back.

Some reasonable points and I'd agree that there are still some frustrations with JK, particularly in terms of selection, set plays and developing young players. But, to suggest that the performance of the team this season has nothing to do with him is churlish and frankly, a bit daft; every team needs a leader, no matter how motivated and engaged the individual members are, to create the vision, communicate it and get everyone bought in - I'd say that job has been done at WTW and I can't see anyone else being responsible.

One thing to consider - if the atmosphere and culture around the club last season was as negative as some have said, perhaps JK himself was also demotivated, unhappy and lacking leadership? It would explain a lot, including his desire to jump ship when Les Cats came knocking.

How would you know, have you seen us this season? Come on Mops old lad (assuming you are he) put the bitterness behind you and just accept JK was right not to give you the job

Reasonable counter argument. Have no problem with accepting others point of view when it is explained in a rationale way

Shut yer gob numpty

He was there yesterday and has been to U18 games

I was winding him up, or is this just a one way thing

John Kear is THE best coach for us at this moment in time without doubt. The effort and passion he shows is superb, and the tag of "underdog" suits him down to a tee. I will support Kear 100% to the end, whether that be at the end of the season, or whenever. In Kear We Trust- Together We Are Stronger.

If you rate Kear so much why do you give his first choice FB such a hard time?

We also had a guy called Bill kirkbride who did a decent job if my memory serves me correctly.
Oh and lets not forget another guy who had a spell with us. He was a great as a Trinity player but
did not do that much as coach however I think he had a good coaching record elsewhere


Mr Derek Turner

Last but not least, lets not forget our old friend Terry Crook

I've a lot of time for Kear and have had some very close contact and many conversations with him in recent years. He is one of, if not THE best technical coach in England and his ability to bring young and hungry players on is to be admired. Players like Mariano and Tommy Lee have been crying out for a coach who not only believes in them but one that has the know how and techincal expertise to make them better players. I am pretty certain that had he been Rovers coach and Morgan Wakeys coach the result yesterday would have been the other way round.

Really hope you guys stay in SL, so good luck for the rest of the season.

I have to say I would go down as a "Kear knocker" over the last year or so - and I am not ashamed to admit it. At the time when I was knocking him I didnt think he had the ability to take us up to the next level and for us to progress as a club from one in the doldrums to one that could challenge for a play off spot consistently.

I have got issues with his team selections, his gameplan and also his substitutions are baffling at times - but the one thing I have never questioned is his ability to get the lads up for a game. I think he has been instrumental this season so far in getting the lads up for it and getting them to punch above their weight, I dont think there is anybody better at taking a bunch of missfits, rejects and rogues and turning them into solid SL standard players.

I think my main criticism of him is that when he does have some money to spend he seems to get it wrong and we often seem to pick up players on the surface "for the sake of it", not exactly panic buying but you know what I mean. Give him a shoestring and he comes into his own, the old backs against the wall mentality.

Yes I still have issues with him and he has his faults, but for now I am happy for him to be in charge as he will get the best out of what we have, but should we stay in the league and have more money to play with next year then I fear we would see the same kind of thing happen again to us as happened last year and also happened at Hull, "poor" players under Kear = good side, "good" players under Kear = not so good side maybe?
