    Mark McGhee

    Our level of professionalism sky rocketed when the previous manager was released and McGhee came in culminating on a great run towards the end of the season. I think what has happened has McGhee has probably allowed a sort of 'last day of school' atmosphere creep in when there was nothing to play for. However this team has proved time and time again that it needs to be kept on a short leash. I don't think McGhee will make that mistake again.
  2. If Jack Leitch played like that every week he would have had more than our contract on offer. Unfortunately he only managed it once.
  3. The annoying thing is we have actually had a pretty decent 2nd half of the season but this was the last match and there is nowhere to go now. It can't be made up next week. I think reasonable fans will accept honest mistakes, being beaten by a better team or even periods of bad form if you have something in the bank but the one thing that can't be tolerated is a lack of basic professionalism. As for Watt, if you are a youngster and you get a chance you need to absolutely bust a gut and take it. Cadden is the perfect example, he's got a lot to learn in the game and lot of areas where he can improve but he gives you everything, every time. It was as if every rumour, every thing you'd heard about this guy came true on the pitch today. See you later, Liam.
  4. 0-7 is going to hang round our necks now until next August. I wish I could be in that dressing room right now. The team today shamed the club, the supporters and themselves. Hopefully someone gives them a mighty kick up the arse before they jet off on their holidays and remind them that guys like me that put my money in their pockets can't afford to go on holidays.
  5. As stated Lasley played at Parkhead last time out. 6 defeats out of 8 including the two most embarrassing drubbings of the season. What kind of evidence do you need? As I type another goal goes in.... agg without Lasley - Motherwell 8 SPFL 27. Could be more by the end of the day!
  6. When Lasley isn't in the side, good teams just run all over us. Another warning to those that want him ditched. Tynecastle all over again.
  7. You can say you don't care about this game but....not really, right?
  8. Really? He had plenty chances? Between 2007 and 2015 he had 9 league starts. In season 2009/10 he started 2 league matches on the trot, the only time that ever happened while he was at the club. Overall his record of league starts was 2014/15 - 1 2013/14 - 3 2012/13 - 2 2011/12 - 1 2010/11 - 0 2009/10 - 2 2008/09 - 0 2007/08 - 0 Sure he had a lot more substitute appearances but you can hardly expect a player to come on getting 5 minutes here, 10 minutes there to prove himself.
  9. Was at the Queens Park v Clyde match today and although they lost the match I was quite impressed with Queens Park. Played good football on the ground and most of their players had decent technique and pace. Liam Brown, only 17 years old, looked like he could easily play at a higher level. He's very light weight but I think it will be worth keeping an eye on this guy.
  10. McHugh was unfortunate in that he was trying to break through at a time when we had very strong players in the forward postions. I'd never seen a Motherwell player score 20 goals in nearly 30 years of supporting the club, then we have two players do it two seasons in a row. On top of that he's been up against some of the best forward players the club has had in the modern era - McFadden, McDonald. He didn't do enough with us and it was time for him to move on but I don't see how anyone can say he's not a top level player based on the game time he had with us. He's got 8 goals in 12 starts for Falkirk this season and the Championship is not much different in quality than most of the Premiership. Most of his goals have been against the better teams in the league too - Rangers, Hibs, Raith Rovers so you can't even say he's scored his goals against Alloa's and Dumbarton's. I'm guessing Lee Miller won't feature for Falkirk next season if they come up but they have signed Nathan Austin from East Fife.
  11. Manchester City are a defensive shambles and look how much money they have. Defending is a dying art in modern football, refereeing and new rules have made it very difficult for defenders, even something like the modern interpretation of the offside law means defenders can't even be sure that someone who is offside will be flagged. Defending a set piece? Any physical stuff or shirt pulling and you are risking a penalty while attacking players are only risking a foul, giving attackers a big advantage there if there is a tussle. The modern game has neutered the defender and across football even at the highest level the standard of defender has dropped dramatically. McManus was very poor last season but I think he's been decent enough this season and certainly isn't any worse than most of the rest of the defenders in this league. I mean, look at who Celtic have at the back - Boyata, Ambrose, etc. Who are we going to attract with 10, 12, 15 times less the resources?
  12. Johnson has the natural talent but I think his stamina is a bit suspect, he often blows himself out of matches far too early. Also he needs to improve his overall effectiveness and consistency but in terms of technical ability he's probably our best player. I would say though that I think Jamie Murphy left us a significantly better player than Johnson is now and he went to League 1.
  13. I gave him my MotM award against Inverness.
  14. Went for Cadden. Johnson had some nice moments in the first half but weirdly he was better at left back than he was after Chalmers came on. In fact the second half he was pretty anonymous. This was my last match of the season so I can declare Scott McDonald my player of the season for 2015/16. 6 - Scott McDonald 5 - Louis Moult 4 - Kieran Kennedy 3 - Connor Ripley 1 - Morgaro Gomis 1 - Stephen Pearson 1 - Marvin Johnson 1 - Josh Law 1 - Lionel Ainsworth 1 - Stevie Hammell 1 - Chris Cadden
  15. But more if no fans had went on the pitch. Don't think we needed to bring in 300 stewards and 800 feet of fishing net to stop that happening.
  16. Though we started well but about half way through St. Johnstone came more into the game and took their chances to take the lead. After that our energy just seemed to drop off and to be fair St. Johnstone are a stuffy team to play against at times. The end of season lap of honour was a farce. I think there has to be a serious discussion about the level of measures taken today. True, our own fans have often let us down but the scenes at the end of the match were utterly embarrassing. What were the costs to the club today and how many season ticket renewals will it cost to pay for them?.
  17. BBC reporting we have made an official bid for Dunfermline's Faissal El Bakhtaoui.
  18. I don't rate Dow. I just think he's one of these guys who is a good footballer but doesn't have a position that he actually excels in. Where do you play him? Up front? Cos he doesn't score goals. Dixon will be 30 in November so he would only be a short term replacement for Hammell if that is what you are looking for. Ofere was decent with Inverness but hasn't done much with Dundee Utd and he will probably be on high-ish wages. If you look at his recent record Inverness was really the only club he did well at, excluding Caley he's got 1 goal for his last three clubs. Like Dixon he's the wrong side of 30.
  19. St. Johnstone recently went to Tynecastle and won 3-0 and then went to Rugby Park and lost 3-0. Kinda hard to predict what Saints team will turn up.
  20. If the workies did it for nothing and there were no other costs involved other than the actual seats.
  21. As I stated earlier Aberdeen have only lost once all season at Pittodrie so this was always going to be a very tough match. Add in having nothing really to play for and changes to the team and it's not really a big surprise, especially when we give away an early penalty. See Laing got subbed at half time. Was he injured or did he just get hooked? Got to say I don't rate the guy and he's miles behind Kennedy and Hall for me.
