Slattery's was a knee injury rather than muscular so I'd put him in your 'part and parcel' category. I agree that the injuries to others were muscular and that must come down to strength training and conditioning. Were they ready to play? Have previous injuries not fully cleared up and / or weakened them long-term? It's not just the eight this year, we had a bad run of injuries last season too and maybe no-one or no one thing is to blame but it's enormously frustrating.

Oxborough kept us in the game with some good saves.

There are professional pundits who talk as much shite as you.

Calum Lang starting off his season with a goal at Elland Road.

Perhaps someone can be really helpful and write a precis of what SK says each week.

I hope he moves to a decent team in Europe and Motherwell receive a small slice of the transfer fee. I honestly think it's becoming a waste of time for young Scottish (and English) lads moving to premier league and championship clubs hoping to play regularly.

Rohan Ferguson kept a clean sheet for Larne as they held on for a stunning win against the mighty Ballkani in Pristina.

He's had a reasonable career but he didn't come through our academy. Edit: sorry, didn't read Denny's post first.

I generally like him but Montrose's goal and a lack of concentration v Roos County almost cost us us goal. Fortunately the chance fell to Jordan White and he has the first touch of a shire horse.

Soooo.... Should we call him Stamo?

Is he from Winchestertonfeldville, Iowa?

Nicky Cadden has joined his twin brother at Hibs.

Possibly Nicky Cadden. After a slow start in the lower leagues he has been playing at a decent level in England for a number of years and has just moved to Hibs. Not saying he's made a name for himself but he has been playing in League One which is either a similar or a better level than the SPL depending on who you listen to.

Calm the fuck down! I'll happily take a point.

Yeah, thought so too but then Blaney switched of for a second which gave White a clear chance to score and that is what worries me about him.

Looks like you forgot to cast your vote.

Not much to choose from but Wilson did alright, slightly ahead of Oxborough.

Naw.

Mad start to the second half and McIver did so well winning the ball before shooting.

Miller's played poorly so far and this is what happens: very little creativity from the other midfielders.

No, it really doesn't.

He's still a Well fan and did a lot of good for the club so he should always be welcome - just no longer in a professional capacity.

Yeah, if you want to. They have a point though. If it comes down to the number of lines on the team sheet how could the officials read all nine names on our bench but only eight on Thistle's?

McGinn, Kaleta and Sparrow all played an hour for the B team. Looks like Luca Ross will miss the game, possibly concussed as he had to go off after a clash of heads.

I remember him getting booked for unsporting behaviour and genuinely don't understand what he did wrong. The reaction of the opposition team was a bit over the top and possibly swayed the referee to reaching for a yellow card.
