He also signed some shit players.

Any bookies taking bets yet?

Loaning out Connelly would make sense, although I foresee another PJ Morrison situation with him. If it's true Fox is injured, and we sign Oxborough, I guess we'll release Fox come May 2023.

If we sign him, that means Kelly is off. Otherwise, why would we need 4 keepers?

Unless we sign another proper fit striker, at least one winger and a competent LB, the current 433 will continue to be impotent. With the current squad, I’d suggest a 352 to flood the midfield and start to create from there. It’s worth a try.

I'd rather have someone with those qualities in charge of the academy, which he is, and I'm sure that position also gives him the space and respect required to advise the first team management when/if required. I think for the manager and their assistant, we need the knowledge you refer to, but we also need people with more experience.

On the often debated subject of individual players and team performance, I think we will be feeling the ill effects of what Alexander has sewn into this squad until at least after the January transfer window.

He’s gone!!! Happiest day of the year for me!!!

Putting the dodgy headed back pass from Mugabi, the good free kick, and the breakaway goal aside, we offered absolutely nothing in reply. We didn’t lay a glove on them over two legs, but we all saw this coming based on 2022 so far. This team and management have absolutely nothing to offer and haven’t done since December 2021. Our league campaign is going to be awful if we don’t fix this mess now.

Are you Alexander?

Crags

If Burrows/Board don’t act after tonight, the form of 2022 has shown that this disaster will continue, and it’ll be their positions on the line as well. They have to do the right thing and hit reset now.

Utterly horrendous. Alexander and half this squad need to go now.

We’re doomed under the command of this imposter. He needs to be told to GTF now.

10th. If we replace Alexander, maybe 6/7th.

3 league goals in his first full season (2020/21), but it was 7 goals across all competitions and he got the most assists with 9. That is why we didn't punt him. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/motherwell-fc/leistungsdaten/verein/987/plus/1?reldata=%262020

Efford and Shields are (currently) not good enough. Both should be moved on and replaced with a proven goalscorer to play alongside (or challenge) KVV. If we keep one, it should be Shields, given that he is a 3-year development project.

It’s simple for all to see, or at least should be after the past 7-8 months. Should we lose on Thursday, it’ll be the continuation of the beginning of the end for him, and that should not come as a surprise to the many of us who want a well-run club instead of an acceptance of less than mediocrity.

Recruitment argument aside then, what has Alexander changed since we sold Watt? Cohesion/stability? No. He's dropped our captain, rotated players in/out of positions, put square pegs into round holes, persevered with only one proper (injured) striker, signed duds and released duds, not addressed other weaknesses, etc. What do people honestly see in Alexander in terms of his potential to make us a relative and occassional enjoyable success that I cannot see?

Waiting until we get embarrassed in Europe by a lesser team before finally signing the players and making the tactical changes this squad desperately needs is criminal behaviour. Yet, many on this forum appear content with this approach through their parroting of the '...give Alexander some time to get the season going and get some more new signings in before we judge him...' line. This attitude defies belief and has no place in professional competitive sports. Alexanderball was honking last season, and he got lucky, but we all know this. A well-run club should have most of its significant and necessary signings and required tactical changes sorted before and during the preseason, not after the first set of competitive fixtures. This view is particularly pertinent considering the dire form of the second half of last season and the volume of players we released. Therefore, I'd suggest that anyone signed by Alexander from hereon in will be a reactionary panic to try to delay his inevitable departure.

No. We need another traditional number 9. And a LB and CH. Maybe even a winger.

The age-old adage of using false equivalence to defend a manager's position is tiresome. He's arrogant, stubborn and stupid, making him an appalling football manager. His utter contempt for the fans is also embarrassing. If Sligo put us out, he's as good as finished.

Too injured to participate in the recent squad photos for the website update... Or am I reading into that too much...
