Just voted today. Went For Gillespie (Player) & Turnbull (Young Player).

Stuart McKinstry looked good in setting up the goals. Is he deffo away to Leeds?

Anyone know who the striker was that didn't appear after the other club 'pulled the plug'?

My team: Carson Kipre Aldred Hartley Tait Dunne Cadden McHugh Campbelll Tanner Main

Here is my evaluation of the squad so far this season. Trevor Carson (10) An excellent number 1. Sorely missed at the moment. Russell Griffiths (6) Seemed a good backup until called upon. Hasn’t covered himself in glory the last few weeks. Will be off at end of season as Rohan Ferguson comes in to the squad. Richard Tait ( Has played in a couple of different positions this season. Always gives you everything. Reasonable crosser of the ball but needs to defend better. Steven Hammell (7) Decent backup. Surely his last season. Peter Hartley (10) Great signing. Priority to get him permanently signed up ASAP. Ellis Plummer (5) Haven’t seen him to judge and that probably sums up his time so far. Seems to be injured most of the time. Charles Dunne (7) Is caught out of position fairly regularly. Can’t pass the ball. Has reasonable pace and is strong. Needs replaced and moved down the pecking order to backup. Cédric Kipré (9) Still raw at times and with a few mistakes in him, but generally good. If he improves on his concentration and cuts out the mistakes, we’ll have some player. Liam Grimshaw (7) Decent enough squad player. If he can recapture the form he had first time around, he may be good enough to start more regularly. Gaël Bigirimana (7) Has blown hot and cold so far this season. If he ups his game, I think he has the creativity that we sometimes lack. Chris Cadden ( Was getting back to being the player he was before injury, prior to being injured again. His raw running power is a great asset although teams have started doubling up on him. Carl McHugh (7) He likes a booking. This is down to his lack of pace. Seems to want that extra touch sometimes. Weird thing is that I think we miss him when he’s not in the middle of the pitch. Elliott Frear (7) Been injured. Has shown flashes of being a decent player. Again, needs to up his game. Andy Rose (6) Apart from running about and being tall, I can’t see what he brings to the team. Back up. Craig Tanner (7) Again, has shown his ability in flashes. Works hard when he plays and can deliver a free kick, Craig needs to be more consistent. Louis Moult (10) Good luck with Preston. Will be missed. Ryan Bowman ( Came good this season but doesn’t look the same player since the semi final. Needs to clear his head and get back to working hard and scoring goals. He needs to get more efforts on target. Alex Fisher (7) Another player who works hard. Maybe he’ll come good at some point. However, at the moment he doesn’t look like a goal scorer. Deimantas Petravičius (6) Has done nothing to suggest he should be in the team. Not sure if he’s a winger or a striker and neither does the manager. January signing priorities: Goalscorer to replace Moult Hartley signed on permanent contract (2.5 years) Replacement for Dunne If everyone fit (and leaving out U-20s), my top team would be: Carson, Kipré, Hartley, Plummer/Dunne; Tait, Cadden, McHugh, Campbell, Frear; Tanner; Bowman Subs: Griffiths, Plummer/Dunne, Grimshaw, Bigirimana, Rose, Petravičius, Fisher If we can sign a left sided central defender and a striker, they would be in the team with Plummer/Dunne and Fisher dropping out the squad. I would like to see some of the U-20s pushing for a place. Just my thoughts and a starter for debate.

From Robinson on Sunday after the match at FP.

Campbell and Cadden will be rested for tomorrow night. Petravičius will get game time at some point but may start on the bench. Manager still undecided whether to play him on wing or up front. Robinson also said on Sunday that he told the players that they could go out for a few beers to celebrate. To a man they said no as they wanted to prepare for Wednesday's game. Think that speaks volumes about our squad.

My team, based on current situations (Rose out and Petravičius with hamstring issue), would be: Carson Kipré Hartley Plummer Tait Cadden McHugh Campbell Frear Bowman Moult Griffiths Dunne Hammell Grimshaw Bigirimana Tanner Fisher Not convinced by Dunne as ball out is generally shocking and would like to see Plummer get a chance. If not him then Hammell. Fisher makes bench as no other real options.

Looking forward to seeing Mount play

As to the folk that wound me up, the current Aberdeen manager and assistant are a couple of fannies. I remember one game at FP, Stuart McCall ran on the pitch to kick the ball back for a free kick. Both of them started screaming to the 4th official 'he just ran on the pitch' like a couple of spoilt kids. However, as special mention must be made to Mark Venus (assistant manager to Tony Mowbray at Hibs). He was an arse of a man with his complaining and winding up the fans.

Thanks.

Can anyone at the game tell me how we set up? Cheers.

My Team (assuming all fit) Carson Kipré Hartley Dunne Tait Cadden McHugh Bigirimana Frear Bowman Moult Subs: Griffiths, Plummer, Grimshaw, Campbell, Rose, Tanner, Fisher

BBC Gossip, Paper Talk and on various forum etc.

As far as I’m aware, current rumours are: In Paul McGinn – Free Jordan McGhee – Loan from Hearts Out Ben Heneghan – Blackburn (bid made), Hull, QPR & Birmingham Chris Cadden – Brighton, Cardiff Louis Moult – Rangers, Leeds Ryan Bowman - Hartlepool Any others?

This was my response to the story in the Record linking Heneghan with Hull: This whole thing about getting Motherwell players cheap really annoys me. I read fans saying he’s rubbish and that we should accept £200 000 and be thankful. Nonsense. He is a major player for us and I would be gutted to see him go. I don’t care he is out of contract next season as unless we get a good fee for him, he’s worth more in the team. Personally, I think we should be asking for £1 Mil. (looking at similar-ish players championship teams have bought) and stop selling on the cheap. I’d settle for £750 plus 25% sell on. I stand by it! Scottish football has got into this rut of selling players cheaply, compared to other countries round Europe. It's time we said 'Can I have some more please'!

My team for Sat would be: Carson Kipré Heneghan Dunne Tait Campbell McHugh Bigirimana Frear Cadden Moult Assuming Frear is fit. If not, Plummer instead of Dunne and Dunne instead of Frear.

Been looking at potential loan signings to compliment what we have/future signings. Thoughts?

We should be pushing for as much as we can from Burnley or anyone else as far as Heneghan is concerned. We always sell ourselves short, it's a Scottish football trait. If we have no need to sell, bump up the price. At least half a mill with a sell on clause!

Not sure how readable this is, but here are some potential transfer ideas (Mainly based on out of contract and freed players so far.)
