Ok give us the lottery numbers

Agree When you play 4 4 3 your defence has to be up to the job As you say earlier in the season we were getting away with it As for our defence while Gillespie is a great shot stopper his distribution is shite We have 2 fullbacks who cannot defend for their lives In Hartley we have a centre half who’s slower than a week in the jail Thank god for Gallagher ( who by the way I think is carrying an injury ) So to be in the position we are says al lot for the rest of the teams

Scott’s done his ankle ligaments in training and could be out for the rest of the season Could quit easily done the same with us and then we’re £1m + quid down Wish the boy all the best but these thing happen in football sometime better to strike when the irons hot

How about this for a starting XI Gillespie Gallagher Donnelly Dunne Arrons Campbell O’Hara Polworth Turnbull Watt. Long

Think he’s talking about the St Mirren end Just under 5000 in a stadium that holds over 8000 Crazy that St Mirren could not give Motherwell more tickets if they could have sold them

Yip that’s what I thought at the time Dallas had just made up a new rule He’s actually a worse ref than his faither if that’s at all possible

Correct Donnelly backed away and left the guy with whole goal to aim at

I agree with you …… but he is not a natural defender and his positional play leaves a bit to be desired Not getting at Grimmy as he gives 110% in every game and as said above he is a better option than Tait But a back 4 should be a unit and with Grimmy not being a natural defender it can cause problems for others I know the game has changed but IMO the first objective of a defender is to defend

Because he’s not a fullback Look at his positioning for 2nd goal

Utter pish WRONG formation WRONG substitutes Got bad vibes about Saturday

Think it’s the way we sell the club to youngsters and their parents If your good enough and progress there is a pathway to the 1st team We’ll develop your talent and if the right bid comes in we won’t stand in your way Think it is why our academy is the envy of so many others ……… if your good enough, show the right attitude there is a pathway to bigger and better things

Scott himself could have said no if he thought he was not up to the challenge of the Championship. From his statements looks like he’s delighted with the move !!!! All the power is now in the players hands, as I said previously any agent worth his salt will insist on a release clause in a contract You can bet your boots that Gallagher, Campbell and even MacIver will have them in their contracts As for Hull’s initial bid all clubs will test the water with low ball bids you never know depending on some clubs financial position they might bit Motherwell knocked it back immediately indicating to Hull that if they did not meet the release clause (what ever it was) don’t bother coming back with a bid WELL DONE THE CLUB YOU PLAYED A BLINDER

Depends what was in the extended deal that he signed There could have been a clause where he had the option to leave if we received a bid over £1M No one bar the club the player and his agent know what was in that extended contract So your assumption that the club could just say NO may be a load of shite

Heard from a good source he’ll be back playing in 3 weeks

Got. It in one

I think everyone would agree with that statement But can anyone name a player like that who would be within our budget ???? Only asking cause I’m sure the back room staff are looking for said person

Here’s one from left field Lee Griffiths on loan till end of the season ?????

That’s the problem WHEN FIT He’s been out nearly as long as Tanner was

Think its what is drummed into our fullbacks on the training ground !!! Its the same every week does not matter what wing a team is attacking down our opposite fullback is usually miles away from the man he should be marking Happens on to many occasions for it to be a coincidence

Agreed it may have gone in but it was not a tap in on the goal line There is no way that Long knows for sure that it is going in and he actually has to drag the ball from behind him …… that’s what makes me think it was going past the post or maybe hitting it

Have watched replay a few times and am not convinced the ball was going in Look at the angle from where the ball was struck from If it had went passed the post just imagine the pelters Long would have got on here to my mind he did the right thing that any good centre forward would have done ………… put the ball in the net !!!!

Yea …………Like they grow on trees

Correct Against Rangers Celtic Aberdeen Hibs we cannot get away with 3 in midfield Robinson seems to have this stubborn when it comes to team selection where he thinks that his favoured formation is a fit for all occasions Im afraid it’s horses for courses and if that means 1 or 2 up front so be it As has already been said on numerous posts our midfield is not good enough when teams do there homework on Alan Campbell and crowd him out and put pressure on him as Rangers and Aberdeen have done recently ( I’m sure others have been watching and we really need to change it for 2nd half of the season) Having said that I’m sure a fit David Turnbull will help

Agreed Playing 3 upfront against so called better teams is suicidal for us We badly need an extra nam in midfield or they will end up running over the top of us

Midfield rank rotten Grimshaw couldn’t pass water Hylton / Cole to light weight Changes need urgently
