Kilmarnock podcaster Callum Scott told the BBC’s Scottish Football Podcast he was “pretty against” Kettlewell’s arrival but has been impressed.
At the time, his opinion was reflective of the support, with one fans’ forum poll of nearly 600 people showing 90% against the appointment.
“He’s brought in some really good players and looks to have changed the style, which has been quite welcome,” Scott said.
“He’s communicated really well, too, and now, everyone’s behind him.”
While Scott says McInnes “left the club in a better place” after winning promotion and consolidating in the top flight, the football was also “at times hard two watch”.
Instead of crosses from wingers looking to utilise Vassell’s physicality through the middle, Kettlewell has been using Kiltie and Tiffoney as twin 10s behind a striker.
“He has stamped his own style on the team and it certainly seems to be different than he played at Motherwell – they are trying to play from the back,” Scott added.
“We are not going to win every game, but if he can bring entertainment and bring through the young boys, we’ll get right behind him.”
