It was probably bad luck that Heygi got recalled just before Ox got injured. However Matty Connolly was on the bench last week I believe so none of us know why he wasn't this week. It could have been for any reason The reason that Heygi didn't feature was because Ox hit form Mair has a good rep by all accounts and it can't be easy being flung in at the deep end like this

Sure Stam was meant to be that person potentially Recruitment isn't just down to him - there are others involved surely. But I agree things need to change on the recruitment front

All I hope for right now is that we get players back from injury and we have a decent transfer window and kick on from there. It is gutting and I understand why people are upset

I think we miss Bair and Spittal. I was really sorry to see Bair go. And that is the problem right now. We don't have a striker who can just bang goals in. Even last season when we were rubbish for long spells we had enough players chipping goals in to make up for the leaky defence and we don't have that right now

Well I hope none of them go on camera crying when Kettlewell goes. They are paid very well to do a job - whereas someone like me had to scrape every last penny I had together to buy my season ticket this year. Im not discounting your point of view. I just don't think this is all on Kettlewell Edited to say. I've been in more than one job that I've been treated very poorly in - I still had to turn up. I had no option.

I honestly do not think if Casey and Kettlewell had a bust up at half time that it should have been made public. Or posted about on pie and bov. Where did that come from - Casey? Or another player - if so that's completely unprofessional If they want to down tools and get the manager out so be it - but Casey signed for us at the last minute last season - and we pay his wages - another manager might want to punt him Surely if Casey has an issue with the manager it should be kept private - that's the professional thing to do. And as I'm sure you know - the social media stuff always grows legs and gets blown out of proportion

The players should not be losing faith in my view. They are paid well to do a job and chucking it isn't good enough - it's making a fool of fans who live in this area some of who earn a tiny percentage of what they are paid. They can back Kettlewell or ship out in my view - and I'm aware of his faults. I have no time for players who are well paid for what they do deciding to throw in the towel. It's not just on him. They've looked like they don't care for the last few games - and that isn't good enough. They don't want to play for him - fine. But they should be playing for the fans who've paid to watch them I actually don't think loads of fans have turned against him -if he goes so be it but as I've said elsewhere in two years time some other manager will be on the other end of this - social media has a big part to play in this - I actually miss the days when I just watched the team and went home

If Casey has had a blow up with Kettlewell at half time why should it be Kettlewell that has to go - come on now - no one needs to know about disagreements because of "someone" who knows something who knows someone on pie and bov. Remember Liam Kelly sitting crying when Alexander got the boot - the players are responsible too and they know it - this is not all on Kettlewell. They need to get the collective finger out and soon

That's good it's fine to disagree.

He said that the goalkeeper had barely a save to make in the last two games. Not sure that's him throwing the keeper under the bus.

I don't think he is either. Today was gutting but for some reason we always blow it in cup games against teams we should be beating. I think we miss Miller and Ox is going to be a big miss. McGinn too. Hopefully we have a decent transfer window

Obviously teams below us will play one another and drop points too

I don't agree

You're right - but I hope it doesn't come to that

I don't think we are going to be in the play off position. Someone said earlier that we only need another 6 points for safety. It is tough but it's the same as last year. When you are on a downwards trajectory you can't catch a break - I'm sure we will pull ourselves out of it. I'm on the wine too

I am too

I asked my brother last week if he thought we would get rid of Kettlewell if we lost today and he pulled a face and said don't be ridiculous - and he's a bigger Kettlewell critic than I am. The last thing we need right now is to be paying off yet another manager

I completely understand where you are coming from. But we have 9 players out and a new goalie - it might have been different if Ox was in goals I hope so is the answer If Casey did call him out he's taken long enough. I'm not a fan of rumours - and Im concerned personally that if a conversation of that type took place someone has leaked it - at a time where we don't need disharmony

I honestly don't know what you are going on about at this point. You said that I was going in on you when I had responded to you once before tonight. Then you said I needed to get out more - and now you are trying to defend Dan Casey based on "rumours" from pie and bov. I mean come on - you're saying that I base things on what I read - you're doing the same. Believing the pie and bov posts I personally don't think me supporting motherwell should be any greater or lesser whether I've played football or not. You don't like Kettlewell and that's why you've latched onto the pie and bov "rumours" - but that is completely your perogative I mean come on - we surely can't be getting into the realms of someone on pie and bov said it so it must be true. The players need to look at themselves as much as Kettlewell and that will be the hill I die on I'll also defend the right of anyone to their opinion - but at the moment it seems like if you do like Kettlewell - your opinion isn't welcome

You asked me if I'm a footballer - are you having a laugh? And then you told me to get out more. Are you a footballer? So basically I can't have an opinion on here because I'm not a footballer? Ok. You clearly know better because you play football. Sorry that I'm a female that doesn't play football. My brother does though so I'll ask him and get back to you

I actually really like Dan Casey in a lot of ways but if he's in Kettlewells face at half time that's a liberty. Considering how many times he's been caught out this season - it is just rumour though. I think there's a few people on pie and bov who like to play up to the I know something you don't

I've never asked you to justify a single thing you've posted on here - you're the person that made it personal - and I will block you if that's what you want. If you don't like being disagreed with that's not my problem

People have the right to criticise. I personally just don't want to see someone chased out the way Alexander was. It seems no one is good enough for us at times and before I get rinsed. I've been watching Motherwell for decades and I understand peoples frustration

I think Casey should pipe down tbh. Particularly given that he took long enough to decide to sign on with us again. If you have issues with your manager - keep it private

I actually don't have it in for you. I think I've responded to two of your posts. I need to get out more - you're making this personal. Not me.. Ps I would love to get out more but I shattered my leg to pieces less than a year ago and getting to fir park has been challenging enough. I don't have issues with anyone on here - it's fine to disagree surely
