I'm a big fan of O'Hara - personal view is he's our best midfielder (excluding Campbell) and much better than others are coming forward/passing etc. A modifield with Donnelly, Campbell, Ohara, Polworth) always meant that 2 stayed back and 2 moved forward. Personal view this is the balance that got us to 3rd in the league v's the off balance we've had this season.

Grimmie didn't come in as right back - he's a midfield player. A hard working player with limited ability. A bit like Crawford in that respect, prob decent people to have around the club but not first team players .

Fantastic news. Like others mentioned can't see how we could expect to sign anyone better. Personal view changing formation would see a significant difference in SOD. Being able to get forward/being paired with a right sided midfielder will make a difference. Being the only person to cover the right hand side of the pitch (other than a rotating forward) is something we should solve. Delighted with this signing.

Jurys out on the gaffer for me. The relentless 4-3-3 approach makes us a sitting duck. StM ran us ragged and we're lucky not to be 2 down at half time yesterday. It took an injury to force a 4-4-2. Appreciate he's got us to a relative safe position but his lack of adaptive approach concerns me.

great 3 points. Shouldn't take a serious injury to sort our formation but 4-4-2 and 5-4-1 really stopping stmirren pressing

since we shored up midfield we've been a far better team

Long is far better a part of a front 2 than 3

does look a bad one. wonder if we'll go 4-4-2

GA pisses me off with how he's set up the team. Every game StmIrren pack the midfield and out battle us - change the set up FFS !

were been completely out fought - bring on Foley or Ohara and firm up the midfield

why we play 3 in midfield v's their 5 baffles me. Makes it easy for StMirren

ooft Lamie was sold cheaply there - good save Kelly

completely with you. Ohara for me has proven to be spot on. If we're going to play with hard working battling midfields then we should play 3 at the back and push Carrol and S OD into wingbacks.

great point about some players don't work out a certain clubs. Personal view , I don't rate Crawford, he's no better than the likes of Grimmy. I'd rather we let those making up the numbers go and look to build a better starting 11.

Thanks all , I thought he was a loanee. Be good to see him get a few games under his belt, he looked accomplished and comfortable on the ball.

Foley passed the ball well and also sitting deep enabled Campbell to move up the park. Would like to see more of him, shame he's not eligible on Sat. Thought Dec was excellent and very happy to see him back in a Well shirt, playing well. SOD is also much better moving forward. Having a back 3 and pushing him further up the park is worth pursuing.

He's got a lot of talent and had an excellent first season with us. I feel for him in as much as he's not the type of player who's suited to tracking back or winning physical battles. For whatever reason it's not worked out for him and us this season. He's been villianised as someone who doesn't try or deliberately got sent of. In reality he's it's more likely that he's got frustrated, fallen out of form and no way real way back into the team. Hope it works out for him at his next club.

enjoyed listening to Watt today and getting a sneak peak inside what's going on with the squad.

cracking goal

has Crawford been brought in to replace our frustration at Grimmies lack of ability to pass and find a team mate.

significant lack of quality - we can't find our men. Lawless has been reasonable. Probably a day for Polworth to get a game.

I'd have rather we spent the 50-100k to bring in some great Scottish talent who could earn us more money in a few years time vs splashing out salaries on 30 first team players. Im not expecting us to go crazy but look at Campbell - someone will pick him up for buttons but he'll earn more on a Hibs/Aberdeen type salary than a Motherwell one. We could be doing the same for some players who'd see Motherwell as a step up and that doesn't need to be the lower English leagues.

completely agree - it's hardly a significant tactical advantage over other clubs to keep it quiet. Just give us a basic understanding of those injured/ill. A 2 minute update on the website isn't a big ask. The lack of communication from the club is what leaves us jumping to conclusions. O'Hara and Grimmy - I've no clue what's wrong with them and why they've been out for such a sustained period of time.

I'd be happy with a back 3. Gallagher, Mugabi, Lamie (or Mginley or Magloire)

Our club is going backwards and complete agree about eye bleeding . We should be picking up some of the very decent youngsters from the likes of Hamilton and using a little of the £3m turnbull to invest in better than what we’ve got . not impressed by the club and not impressed by GA either .
