It's Andy Goram all over again.

Frear went straight down the tunnel when he was subbed as well. Never seen if he came back out or not.

Campbell in for Rose and I'd be pretty happy with that.

By my reckoning our first team squad consists of - 11 Englishmen (I'm counting Dunne,Rose and Bigi as they're all either born or raised in England despite representing other countries) -7 Scots -2 Northern Irish -1 Irish -1 Frenchman -1Lithuanian I'd possibly rather we had a few more Scots but that aside, it's hardly more multicultural than most workplaces.

We'll probably owe Kidderminster a percentage of our percentage.

I think people forget that Robinson is still learning as a manager. I doubt many on here would demand a young player with less than a season under his belt to be the finished article and managers are in the same boat. Even guys like McGhee with 1000 games in management dont get their tactics spot on from the start every week, so I don't expect Robinson, with half a season at Oldham and a few months at Motherwell to either.

Honestly wouldn't blame him for wanting away based solely on that account.

McNamara was essentially on commission too.

I liked Lucas as a player. Injuries and inconsistency made him a pretty useless signing for us but I reckon he's got the quality to make it at this level or L1/L2 in England.

At home to Inverness in 2015/16.

Always liked Andy Rose.

FIFA's a video game mate, we're talking about real football not your Xbox.

When did Plummer come on, think I missed that?

I had high hopes Blyth would sclaff in a scrappy 90th minute winner and go down as a funeral selfie taking, substance abusing cult hero. Alas, it wasn't to be.

Doubt it'll be on TV with both the Old Firm away to Premiership opposition, one of which will no doubt be marketed as a "Glasgow Derby". Still, hopefully lead to an increased crowd actually at the game.

YAAAASS

Moult will score.

County sign Ross Draper.

Tbh I only had one specific incident in mind, where he hesitated to make a clearance and let Candeias rob him at the byline. Dunne was fine in the main though, I just think the last few years of Angol, Straker, Chalmers and Jules have scarred me and left me overly critical of all left backs.

I thought Rose was actually okay tbh. Linked up quite well with Frear and Tanner. Still not sure if he offers more than Campbell or Maclean though. I'm still not entirely convinced that Dunne doesn't have the potential for a few Julesy moments but having a full back with genuine pace like him is massive advantage for us. There were one or two occasions yesterday where it looked like Morelos or Candeias were going to go one on one but Dunne caught up with them comfortably.

Sounds like the lad needs to pray more.

I'm still struggling to comprehend the fact that in Kipre we have a Motherwell defender who might actually be... decent?

What was the minutes applause for btw?

Are people serious about Bigirimana not playing on Sundays? He played on the Sabbath several times for Coventry last season fwiw.

Aside from Rose, who I'm not really convinced is a better option than Campbell or McLean, I don't really think any of our summer signings are taking up positions in the squad that could be filled by the u20s. Even then, the likes of Plummer, Rose, Kipre and Dunne are all only on one year deals. To me, this would suggest that there's scope for Campbell, McLean, McMillan etc to challenge for a place in the first team this year and nail down a place for the start of the next season. Personally I would like to see us have a core of Scottish players who've came through the Motherwell youth system, but it's not the be all and end all. Inverness won the Scottish Cup and finished 3rd a few seasons ago with 2 or 3 Scottish players in the starting eleven most weeks, with the rest coming from the English lower leagues.
