More the fact he was asked to play the holding role in midfield yesterday...

First time using the service today and have to say that my stream was ok. No sound in the first half but when in the second half I could hear the commentary, I was very much convinced that silence is golden. In terms of the picture quality, it was fine for me...

Your general point is right. Like I said, when it comes to attacking players I struggle to think of one good signing Robinson has made. Polworth as a creative midfielder is perhaps the best. A couple of good keepers, a few good centre backs and some decent defensive midfielders but when it comes to the creative side of the game, his record is generally quite poor. Attacking players that have done well in his time have been those he has inherited (Moult) or those that have come through the youth system (Turnbull and Scott). Doesn't reflect well...

While you're right his track record in particular at signing attacking players is poor, McGhee signed Frear...

I'd be embarrassed if I were a Dundee United fan that they've only managed to win this 1-0...

This is a poor Dundee United side and they're winning this without breaking a sweat. Get used to hearing 'Motherwell nil' a lot this season...

A few more performances like this and they'll have every right to...

How many times do we have to watch teams come to Fir Park for a point only for us to gift them three?

Not a bad shout...

Utter garbage...

Marginally the better team but lack of cutting edge. Is a long throw going to become our main tactic? Also a concern how easily they counter attacked on us there....

Dunno if I'm being influenced by reports from the Ross County game but for me Hastie has been dreadful...

Who else would you play in central defence if Lamie is needed for left back?

I do appreciate that they're not even pretending at the Record anymore. Headline could simply have said 'Scottish Clubs'. Nope, it's Celtic and Rangers...

Playing with only two centre midfielders is an act of folly these days...

Won't say too much as I'm at work and didn't see the game but for the second time in as many games, I read here about how the opposition look fitter and sharper. Worrying...

That's right. Expect three in one go shortly....

Oh, I know. Results dictate everything. Concerned that the back five (including the goalkeeper) features three players who didn't play last season. With the unusual nature of the preseason, there's not been a lot of time to get them to function as a unit. Time will tell...

Aye, I'd imagine it's Polworth on the wing. I thought Campbell wouldn't play. I thought it would be a midfield three of Donnelly, O'Hara and Polworth with Watt, Long and Hastie up front. Not convinced by the lineup...

We'll finish 8th and go out of both cups in the quarter finals. We always disappoint when the squad looks decent on paper...

In your dreams...

Can you suggest why 10 days before the start of the season we look so much less fit than another team in our league?

Irrespective of opposition, pretty sure we could have arranged more games than we have so far. If the club feels that it's a better approach to play two games this weekend and one next midweek then that's fine. But to simply say 'Rangers are further ahead in their preparations' makes it sound like we are behind schedule...

Can I ask a question? I've seen lots on here about how Rangers are ahead of us in terms of preparation. Given we both start the league on the same weekend, why is this the case?

My feelings are similar. On the bright side, I was a bit concerned that people were feeling too confident ahead of the new season on the basis our business looked alright on paper. Overconfidence shouldn't be a problem now...
