I was there too, thought he was decent though didn’t get put under anywhere near enough pressure by the Charlton frontline. Do you go to the valley regularly Donaldo or just taking advantage of the football for a fiver?

Going into that 5 game run was reminiscent of the 14/15 season for me. We were playing a style of football that all other teams had sussed and there looked to be a morale issue. There were differences of course, we had a new manager and lots of new January arrivals. What we did have though was a critical run of games in February that gave a glimmer of hope that if we managed to get a couple of wins could see us nudge over the line to safety. As every week passed, that hope slipped further and further away. This year, the management and squad have made the most of that run and we are safe for another term. For that, they deserve nothing but applause. As much as I thoroughly enjoyed cuffing the h*n, going into those playoffs is not an experience I want repeating any time EVER.

To be fair, I think there’s quite a lot that’s beyond you Steelboy. Very short sighted way of thinking. I do wonder why some folk go to the football when it makes them so fuckin miserable

To quote supertramp (one for the old bastards amongst us) crisis? What crisis? It would be crime of the century if we were to be pulled into the mire. I’m happy for this to be famous last words but even in their quietest moments, the biggest doomsday merchants can’t think that we’re anything but free as a bird. See, I’m a dreamer but I get it that for some, pessimism is indelibly stamped and that some things never change. But as sure as Weeyin will be having his breakfast in America, willing progress as Well fan feels like everything is in slow motion. Some Things Never Change.

Straight from the green bottle lol. To be fair to Yodo, he/she has actually been fairly complimentary of the team lately. Of course, with the upcoming fixtures, I’m sure there will be opportunity for the full vitriol. I’m just content that it’s just turned February and we are as good as safe from a relegation battle.

Exactly the stuff I’ve been thinking but put in a far better way.

Yes, 4 crucial games at a crucial time. As you have often pointed out, he has had a generally poor win record, but more often than not, Robinson has an ability to get the team to perform when really needed. I think the timing of the shift of style is an interesting one. Was it out of necessity to survive or desperation for his job retention? Or, to play devils advocate, has it always been planned to be so? I mean, perhaps he’s chosen to change now because the likes of Turnbull and Hastie are now ready to come through and have a new style of play built around them? is it a coincidence that the change came just before a transfer window? I honestly don’t know and won’t ever likely know, but either way, I hope the new style takes on whichever way it’s come about.

Why does there need to be a but?

I remember saying on this thread during the summer that I suspected the reasoning behind the re-signing of the likes of Rose and Grimshaw and 1 year deals for the new signings was to make weight and mark time for the youth coming through. It just might be coming to fruition.

Theo Robinson loaned out to Swindon.

An awful lot of wishful thinking. Main is not good enough to get in the Luton team

You’ve nailed it. Taking the emotion out of the situation, this is a really well considered take on the difficult decision that the board will have to make. For a club with our limited level of spending capacity, the appointment of the manager is perhaps the riskiest decision of all and one that cannot be made on impulse or in any way reactionary without consideration being made to all factors. Nothing in life is guaranteed and there a number of external variables that could play out to our detriment between now and the end of the season. Like any decision when considering risk and consequence, there are patterns and trends that will enable justification for a decision though. Both St Mirren and Dundee have changed manager to little effect. As shite as it is, the likelihood of a sharp upward trend in our performances is unlikely if we changed manager. Our current trend with the current manager should be enough to see us through. For me, if he was to be sacked this season, then he should’ve been given his jotters in the Autumn. My heart says punt him and punt him now and my head says let him go to the end of the season and begin looking for his replacement now.

Nothing like jumping to a preconceived conclusion lol

Lots of reignited memories.

Yes, I’ve had mine a couple of years and it continues to look good with no flaws. the only problem is that it is a little on the slim side.......though it did fit me better when I bought it a couple of years ago. So maybe not the shirts fault.

I got the Adidas one on an eBay site a few years back. Perhaps the same trader. I will keep checking the site and will definitely buy an Umbro one https://aztecretro.com/search?q=Motherwell+

That Umbro kit is my all time favourite. I’m showing my age, it’s the one I wore whilst playing for motherwell boys club all those years ago. Is that Aztec retro legit trader?

On series planner................Nice one grizzlyg

Oh good god ...... make it stop!!!!! i blame you for this grizzlyg !!!!

This. Luton scored 90odd goals on the way to promotion last season and have taken league 1 by storm. Their fans have become accustomed to a high energy passing game. whoever they appoint is going to be critical and given that we’re in the window, they’ll want to do it quickly. I would wager that Robinson will not be appointed. Paul Hurst would be my punt.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrgh!!!!!!!!!

LOL I was in New York for a course last month and it got to the point where I was involuntarily silently screaming every time I heard “Awesome, great job”. Like nails on a blackboard

I wasn’t trolling Yodo. Thanks Supermarv. As it goes, I’d like to see that formation given a whirl too. I suppose the only question would be around whether we would have the players with the passing and game management attributes to play it.

With the alignment of the text going all wonky, I’m guessing what formation that is. Is it 4231?

Awesome !!!!
