All subbed after 62 minutes

The previous comment is harsh on Shields. He is a second striker. He does not fit in with our structure. It's a bit like when we signed Vigurs who had a position he found successful at his previous club and then never playing him there. If you adopt a style - then we can't sign players who's success lies outside this. He is not a wide man.

Ummmmmmm Kelly Mugabi Lamie Soljohm McGinley Donnelly Woolery (Cornelius/O'Hara/Tierney) Slattery Shaw Van Veen

Slattery done something behind the scenes to be dropped like a stone. He did. To what lengths that this is known/punished for I do not know. The fact he's on the bench seems like it's not dead in the water.

I think that was more a comment on Alexanders philosophy than a dig at Donnelly himself. There's a lot of a head down, arse up and I feel for them to a degree. My most annoying thing about today, is Alexanders comment of "I knew it would be scrappy" that's because we make every game that way with no intention to pass the ball.

Not far away - I would have Mugabi for O'Donnell & that be fine for me. Lot's of endeavor, 2 youths to prime. I like it. Stevie73 get him on a 3year deal.

Kelly Mugabi - Johansen - Lamie - McGinley Slattery - Donnelly - Shaw - Cornelius Van Veen - Shields 4-4-2 no chance! Also couldn't fit in Woolery but could fit in for shields but didn't think it fit the shape of a striker.

I think if we take away games v the old firm including three defeats we have a 9-9-9 record. What does that mean in reality? I think it's what as Well fans we would take this especially after some worries in the preseason League cup. The football been dire, sometimes sure. The high press high intensity games I've enjoyed like Dundee United in the rain! Pure football hasn't been in site by any team I've seen outside really Celtic. Some guys will never make it but we seem intent on giving contracts after 3-4 decent games from some. Some have said give Grimmy a contract, I like him, but it's polar opposite to my thoughts. Exactly the player who we should let go and wish him all the best and see someone new better or worse. Some players are incapable of getting to higher standards. It's been ok a lot riding on the next 4 games.

The first line is correct. Robbos Boy is deflecting from O'Donnell's singular performance by discussing others. O'Donnell has not done anything to deserve to be playing.

Kelly Mugabi - Johansen - Ojala - Lamie/McGinley Cornelius - Donnelly - Slattery Woolery - Van Veen - Roberts I agree with many stated and try the team out for a few weeks. Also I think that 4 at the back are principally defenders we don't need expansive wing backs when playing a front three, more required in a two. Hence drop Carroll. Support can be give by slattery and cornelius Tempted by Shaw too forgot about him

O'Hara maybe O'Connor - rest can go.

I'm trying to think of when its backfired. Has it yet?

Definitely agree - I watched the game though and thought both sides for sure were poorer than a normal Motherwell display - to lose we will need to be poor. The fear is taking it to easy and not approaching with intensity.

Regarding this forum & Facebook - couple of people who doubted us today expressing the delight of a victory. Well done boys. The rest notable in their absence, I'm sure they will be back next time we lose. It's ok to not be an Alexander fan, and it's ok to express any doubt about any players or tactics after defeat, lastly it's ok to say well done to the boys on a quarter cup final qualification irrespective.

We only had one good player. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60269133

Great stuff....... On the original comment it was all about Donnelly but Old man Broon is totally finished and I think he is part of their issues. If I was Ferguson I would be on the next bus out of Aberdeen. You are right I was fearing the worst after the offside and it did look like it could well be the type of game you describe.

Out the cup before a ball was kicked today by some.

Kelly Mugabi Solholm Lamie McGinley McGuire Slattery Cornelius Woolery Van Veen Efford

One thing I notice is that other teams run at our defence and take men on. Woolery and Roberts don't cut it on this front. We have many neat and tidy players but that won't cut it. Donnelly needs dropped for sure. Had we had Watt in our team tonight I think we would have at least scored.

As much as I like disagreeing with you. Think you have this one right.

Writing a guy off after 45 mins. Walloper you are.

I'd sack a few on this forum before sacking the manager. Pure nonsense chat. Thank you to Yassin for trying to put a better spin on a god awful post. Very poor performance today - winning 50/50 balls shouldn't depend on the quality gulf. Celtic were excellent though. Watching the game with a Celtic pal and I enjoyed his why do you have an accountant and a hipster barber playing for you?

Don't right off the diddy teams from the top 6. Livingston and Ross County putting good runs together. Who's to say that one of them and not Aberdeen may challenge.

This forum is hard work of late. So I'll pitch in! Thought Cornelius had a nightmare against Airdrie but being pitched in at that point was probably detrimental to him. He pops up again looks decent in his more recent games and he has not shown nothing - in fact he was progressive and I enjoyed watching him. If anything chuck him in against Celtic - we have little to lose. We might get 1 mill for him plus if he turns out right. You won't get that for any others. I'm up for supporting upcoming talent. Double spacing on this site is not my friend!

It's like the Boris Johnson fitba management course
