How come Hamilton are allowed to have their regular home support at the game?

Oh shut the fuck up, you got your pound of flesh.

Am beelin'! I cannae be expected to interpret nuance right now!

Utterly abject. Whether you have a day or a month to prepare for a game if you have a goalkeeper who gets beaten at his near post with a fairly routine shot, and almost jumps out the way of a shot hit virtually straight at him, you are on to a hiding to nothing. And that's before you get to defenders losing the ball in the air and strikers that have gone 180 minutes without finding the net against the worst defence in the league. If Accies had anything about them they could have easily matched or surpassed that 5-0 from a couple of seasons ago. There have been a number of games where we've shot ourselves in the foot, spells in games where we've looked a bit sorry for themselves when it hasn't gone our way, but that was a perfect storm showing virtually nothing, gifting goals and just looking like they didn't want to be there. Piss, piss poor!

We need a Captain. For all Gallagher is a decent player, he isn't a leader.

Purely for starting that absolutely awful goalkeeper

After a deep breath, the reality really does come screaming home. The rot set in at the start of the year. I wrote on hear calling for a statement of strategy from the board / Robinson when we sold on Turnbull and received the money from Scott, which I think we were entitled to as a fan owned club ie. What did we intend to do with our biggest transfer fee/fees? Instead, we got White and Lamie. This is a situation that is 100% of our own making and goes beyond Robinson into a lack of strategic management at board level. We should/must have the financial power to get ourselves out of This mess however that starts with a vision and a clear statement. I won’t hold my breath however I would like to hear from Burrows before the weekend is out. What’s the plan? If the plan is to support Lasley (who has been a great club servant and should be treated properly) and bring in a couple of loanees then the clear out needs go much higher than the dugout.

A few thoughts after that today. Chapman and Mugabi are simply not good enough and should not be see again in a Motherwell shirt, not their fault but they belong at a lower level. Depending on how long Carson & Fox are out, we need to bring in 1 or 2 goalies. 1 with some experience. Presuming Gallagher & O’Donnell don’t leave, a defence of those 2, Ohara and Carroll should be more than good enough to keep us up. We need an attacking midfielder to play alongside Campbell and hopefully Donnelly. A defensive one as well if Donnelly not back this month. Although McGuire needs another look at in that position whilst Donnelly is out. Need a goal scorer and a winger to play with Watt. Long and Cole maybe be good enough as replacements but not as starters and the less said the better about Seedorf and Hastie.

You will be visited by the ghosts of 3 ex managers - the ghost of ex manager past, the ghost of ex manager present and the ghost of ex manager by the end of the season.

Not a good end to it either.

His one and only chance for me today. Goner

Main worry now is if we give Las the next 3 games, we end up further adrift and little chance for a new manager to make changes during the transfer window. I have watched that today and have been left wondering what manager would want to take over with the goal of keeping us up with that shower of crap. Clear out needed but who is going to take them. Mugabi is a bombscare, h ecan have a decent game one week then crap for the next 3. Grimmy probably needs to move on now. O'Donnell I imagine will be away if he want to keep his Euro dream alive Hastie needs to be sent packing If Seedorf can't get ahead of Hastie then bye bye. Polworth either needs to step up or leave Cole, Long not doing the job and shouldn't have been brought back.. Especially Long.. he's only here cos he didn't get any other offers. I love Carson but think that the injury earlier in the season has probably done him. So not sure how much we can rely on him for the rest of the season, Chapman not good enough so we either need to use PJ orget another keeper in. Big job now for whatever sucker gets the job.

Can’t blame Lasley for that. He has inherited a shit fest. Mugabi and the Goalkeeper were not even Sunday league level. Our recruitment this last year has been absolutely farcical.

Polworth is only good when you are on a winning streak, he is not someone that rolls sleeves up and battles

Another reason we need a new face in as manager. When you hit these patches it's more about confidence than anything else. A new gaffer with no baggage or history with the current season is needed to inject a fresh approach. There's plenty of good arguments that we need to strengthen the squad, but the core of this team should have enough to be a middling Premiership team.

He's got to sub Mugabe and Chapman to at least prove he's watching the same game. It won't make a blind bit of difference up top mind you. We have no cutting edge.

Mind how Gallagher said the players were all up for this game? In a league that contains power houses such as Accies, St Mirren, Livingston, Ross County you’ve surely got to fancy you’re chances of not being relegated? This team is going down however. Worst I’ve seen in years. They have absolutely noting about them at all. Nothing.

I reckon it was Lamie's fault.

heez going out on loan to clyde rangers auld rab finney would turn him into a player

I made much the same point elsewhere Andy. We must not appoint a new man (unless one has already been targeted) in the next day or two but equally this can't drag on for weeks.

Watt for all his trying misses some amount of simple chances

Based on one performance, it looks like Lasley is more part of the problem than, going forward, part of the solution. We don't have the time to muck around here so hopefully the search for a truly able replacement is already underway. We can probably write off the chance of taking anything except a pumping from the next three fixtures.

Note the smiley Gentlemen, note the smiley! Tongue in cheek on my part based on numerous past exchanges. I supported Robinson to the bitter end, I thought he could turn it around. I still think he could have improved the squad and sorted things out to a degree, That he didn't have confidence in his abilities suggests that my faith was misplaced. I think when our first best eleven is on the park we are better than what we are showing, and I believe with two or three good additions we will show that, but I couldn't possibly argue against the point first game post Robinson our team looked weak both in quality and mentality.

i dont see eye to eye with yodo but ffs he possibly has a point were still talking about robbo cause were still getting pumped with the players he signed

Yer right Robinson is in the past so is the 3rd place finish and the two cup finals . However what is remaining with us at the moment is the legacy Robinson has left us which is a team full of shite

I think we left it far too late in the day to let Robinson go now whoever comes in will have about 2 weeks of the transfer window trying to get players in.Hope Foyle and whoever have belters to make up for the shower of shit that we signed in the summer. An utter mess.

who signed the shite ???? and realised on wed just how shite they were then bailed to leave it to ????????????

Way off the mark on this one.

I didn't want to believe our problems were as bad as they were but this is some mess we are in. I think its pretty clear we need a total clear out of the coaching staff.

That was an absolute masterstroke

They were limited to a guy who clearly hasnt been good enough versus a guy that we dont know if he is good enough but done reasonably well on loan... ...he went with the apparent safe option of the older guy

We need to get the right man in. We can't make a decision in haste.

I will take dull now as other option is the championship which is where we are heading unless we get new manager with fresh ideas asap

Dull but sensible choice simply for his ability to organise.

After today we need to act quickly. Tommy Wright being the obvious. Knows the league well, has kept St Johnstone out of trouble for years, will bring an organisation and determination.

This supposed 4 game trial for lasley should be binned immediately. All players and coaching staff to be sacked. Complete shambles. We have managed to out do ourselves and somehow got worse. a new man with no ties to Motherwell brought in to make difficult decisions and to clear the decks

This should be the last straw,the board should be meeting up at fir park tonight to sort this mess out,we need a new voice in the dressing room and quick.

Totally. The rot started long before today

I can see bringing on white if he was replacing Chapman but not as a forward

I really hope we push the boat out and pay a pretty penny for a good manager. This is a shambles

We have waved the white flag,losing to both kilmarnock and hamilton in a matter of days with bearly a whimper is embarrassing,we are serious trouble now.

The board have to get together and act immediately,no harm to las,as it's not really about him but we need a new manager and soon,this can't continue,we have to give a new manager every chance to bring in new players

It’s uncertain for everyone. Outwith the old firm, we were the ones who finished third (ie wel over budget) brought in a rake from Player sales in the past 12 months and had a million euro in prize money from the 3 European matches. No one other than the arse cheeks if Glasgow, Hibs ,United and Aberdeen had such fortune yet we have regressed big time due to an ill advised policy of pursuing the bank balance over maintaining long term fan acquisition and development by ensuring product

I think there is something in this. But also the last two players of quality that we've brought through have lasted 6 months or less in the team before being sold off, or would have been without injury. We simply can't hold on to good players for even a season now, never mind longer, due to the economics of the club and the game in general. The focus of the club has shifted from putting together a good team to keeping a good set of accounts and I understand why but there is a big risk that if you neglect the football then longer term it's financially deleterious. There are some parallels with Inverness but also with Dundee Utd.

We badly needed to freshen it up as well as trying to get a bit of width into the team so I'm happy enough that hastie has a chance and no sign of a lamie which is always a plus.

Added to the fact he’s shite, it puts him in a footballing realm of his own

Personally I don’t mind him getting another shot under a new manager, very much a confidence player so he might see it as a new opportunity, we will see. Delighted to see Carroll start, a proper left back.

Happy to see Hastie get a start, wont be many folk happy about it but I am pleased seeing him start. I am not a huge Carroll fan but good having an actual left back in there...COYW

Stevie Kirk

Roy Keane ..... purely to see him run on the park and knock f@@k out of polworth for his non commitment
