What would be an inspiring draw then ?

Apart from not being at home against a lower or non league side why is it a poor draw? If you are going to get another premiership side, then avoiding the good teams is a big bonus, let's be honest St Johnstone are not the best. Getting either of the ugly sisters, Aberdeen, Dundee untd, would have been a poor draw, this is a very winnable tie.

I agree to some extent that he seems bereft of a plan B at times but he has to work with the players he has available and given our horrendous injury list i dont think hes had a full squad to pick from all season, so i would cut him some slack for that. It's not a crisis yet but we have a tough run of games over Christmas so by January it could be, and solution needs to be found soon.

We are struggling just now Dave the injury list is horrendous, missing key players especially SOD and McGinn, there's no width or threat in the team so until SK gets players back fit, I think we are going to see more of the same unfortunately, I don't know if he can come up with another plan given the current resources he has available.

Where to start with that feckin shambles today, 2 shots on target, a keeper who has been solid all season so far gifting them a goal, no midfield, no goal threat, no plan apart from kicking it long. The squad is down to the bare bones,our injury list is shocking, Robinson, Zdravkovski, and Halliday are worse than a man short, all 3 of them are brutal. SK's game plan was abysmal against a team who have conceded 7 goals in their last 2 games, we never threatened them. With the run of games we have coming up before the transfer window opens i fully expect us to be right back in the relegation fight, something needs to change as what's being offered now is not working.

Have you watched him? He runs about like a headless chicken, never seems to be where he should be, and as for having a good finish, previous to a good season with Dundee where he got 12 goals ( presumably why we signed him)his next best return was 6. 110 appearances for 8 different clubs over 5 years, and 30 career goals in total, averaging 6 a year is stretching the definition of " Striker " a bit too far

Why would you have Robinson starting, he's feckin brutal, Stama, Ebiye and Fat Tony are all much better options.

Are you Grizzlyg's padawan getting some much needed practice in? 🤦‍♂️

Aberdeen bottled it big time, 2-1 up on 92 mins and 3-2 at 95 mins not winning games from that position is shocking.

I don't think we could afford him now, and if we could would he come back? would be a great addition though

Correct

OK counting the OG, it's 9 career goals over 20 years ffs, 6 of which were for us, and he thinks he's a Celtic legend, I've amended my original judgement of him, he's a deluded tosser.

He's an obnoxious tosser, who thought his career only started when he signed for Celtic, with no regard to what went before, or respect for the club where he got his start as a pro. He only scored 2 goals in 304 appearances for Celtic, 6 for Motherwell in 252 so the best stats of his career were at Fir Park but as far as he's concerned he's a Celtic legend, as I said a tosser.

They will also be looking for a new manager by next Saturday, what worries me is that we are always generous to struggling teams in need of a win, so I hope this time we don't do them any favours.

Out with a minor injury according to the club X feed. https://x.com/MotherwellFC/status/1860318635085938780?t=3u42_1aWqW3zuQy3X-d91w&s=19

Never mind we are 2-0 down, how are our possession stats doing, are we winning that contest?

Police are now advising people not to travel over the weekend, I think the game will be off https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvged5y8qn2o

Lennon Miller attracting interest from some big English clubs allegedly according to BBC gossip Scouts from Celtic and Rangers watched Motherwell midfielder Lennon Miller captain Scotland under-19s this week and were joined by representatives from Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Aston Villa.

I take your point about remembering more from games than the result, I'm the same but it's Goals like Jutkewitz in the 6-6 game, Colin O'Neil with the 3rd in the 91 semi, Steven Craigan opening the gate for his throw in, great or terrible tackles, etc. My point is these are all that fans remember, can you tell me how much possession we had in the 6-6 game, or the various finals and euro game we've been in, no neither can I. As I said the stats that matter are Goals scored, points won, final league positions, and the number of trophies won at the end of the season. All the shite we get nowadays expected Goals ratio, corners, possession, etc etc is just meaningless drivel.

I got the jist of it OK, but as I said earlier irrelevant statistics that nobody remembers, but if if discussing it in depth maintains your illusion of superiority feel free.

Nah, just wanting your team to win patter, the only thing people remember about games is the result, not how much possession you had, shots on target, corners, etc etc. So the stats are irrelevant it's did Motherwell score more than the other team, that wins points and prizes.

I'll settle for 1% possession in the last minute to create a sweeping move that results in a winning goal and 3 points to take back to the Shire.

Time for the new board and CEO to step up and take charge with a minimum £6 million fee to start negotiating.

Therin lies the problem, the football authorities, club officials, Stewards, even I daresay the police are all shit scared of upsetting the Blue and Green uglies, so they do feck all in situations like the one we saw at the Celtic game. Visible overcrowding, thousands of fans standing (when individuals in the POD were being told to sit down), etc it's a blatant disregard of safety guidelines so as not to upset the uglies. I live in hope that one day the other 40 clubs in Scotland will grow a set and finally demand changes on the way the game in this country is governed to remove the influence that the bigot brothers have.

Well according to him there was 200 tickets not used apparently, they must have been for the hospitality boxes as I struggled to see one spare seat never mind 200. All I'm saying is that the "migration theory" sounds implausible given what everyone could see. Thats two Celtic games in a row there has been highly visible overcrowding so something is not right.
