Big Stall

Jesus. One defeat and now we are back to getting relegated & binning the manager? Wtf.....

Aside from the rangers game, it mustbe the first time youv called it in what, 3 months?? Well done👍

As much as McKinstry is a good, exciting player, you have to be off your head to suggest he should be in the team. We have just nailed 16 points from 21. Outside the old firm we are the form team. Kettlewell is making all the right calls at the moment. If we were not pulling in the points at this rate then yes, perhaps we could question him but for the time being, just enjoy the roll! Some folks just like a moan

Its good bantz tho - like the amount of times over the years that you predict we are definatley going down. Pretty sure we had one of those posts this year? Certainly there was a 'we wont win another game this season' a few months back. 😁

Cant see that but wouldnt be surprised if Aberdeen start sniffing about

Financial benefit to getting top 6, but on the playing side it would surely be good for Kettlewell to have some dead rubbers in the bottom 6 to experiment, get the team spirit up & plan for next season.

Parochial in as far as i have zero knowledge of what has went on, then thats correct. Are you suggesting the police has asked the club for information and we have handed it over?

We assume it, because most of us who are casual observers 'assume' that the police are in general there to serve and enforce the law. If you or anyone else has evidence to suggest something different then by all means, let us and the media know about it. Assuming (again) that dawn raids have been happening, why do the bois have a beef with the club? Surely they should be protesting outside the police station? Unless of course we sent Butcher and Bevis down to kick someones door in

Like others, i have no involvement with the lads or knowledge on what has been going on. I would say however, to the normal observer, the thought of the police conducting "dawn raids" with no evidence does seem a bit far fetched. I stand to be corrected of course & while there are no doubt a small number of police officers with jumped up attitudes, generally you dont get hit with a full police operation unless you have been up to something. To put Robbos boys post in a bit more polite tone, enjoy the support the Motherwell fans have been giving the bois throughout, but dont expect that support to be automatic and unconditional if there are unsavoury or unlawful incidents. Fair?

Lambert turned out pretty shite in bigger clubs in England however he has enough experience, is a big enough character to boot some baws & can surely handle our league. He isnt exactly inspiring in interviews but i would give him a go before goodwin, yogi etc

Brutal, shambolic, no fight, no clue, no desire. Think that about sums it up? Right from the off with that crazy 4-2-3-1 formation it looked like they didnt know what they should be doing. St J outfought us, were first to every ball which essentially meant we had four guys up the park beyond the ball. It should have been changed after 15minutes as it was clear it wasnt working. It got worse, any confidence we had seeped out the players. More mistakes crept in, some started hiding and pretty much every one of them was bullied off the ball. I was fine with Hammil. Had thought the losses were against the run of play and lots of bad luck but that changed with the performance against County and now tonight. We need something different, even if it is just some experience to work with him. We cant turn up like that again and expect to takr any points.

And then theres also the fact that the internet (and social media) doesnt really reflect reality no matter how much outrage can be generated by a relativley few people on scudbook and twatter

I keep reminding myself that we are actually playing well, losing by the odd goal and have a good set of fixtures coming up....... then we serve up that! Hopefully the style was due to the weather but by god it was an awful watch. Did Hammy phone GA up & ask him for a look at his tactics book? Easily the worst we have played under Hammil. As has become the norm, we sacrafice points through our own pish play. Another shambolic goal to give away. We need to get someone in to help the management team who can coach defending AND scare the shite out these clowns! Going forward, we are generally ok - except for today. (Look at our goal difference). The issue is at the back. Positives - we didnt let county catch up. Crankshaft looked less pish than expected, McKinstrey had another good game, we have got a much better goal difference than the teams around us & a decent run of fixtures coming. Negatives - we are shite. Very few of that team would even get in Barracloughs team which finished 2nd bottom. Confidence must be shot.

At the end of days he was one of only two GA supporters remaining. So i would say it's a fair bet. The guy is entitled to his opinion, even though he is totally wrong - in my opinion.......

Do we know what the injuries are to Efford, Moult and Spittal? I've not seen anything say what has happened or how long they will be out?

I think the issue is that JFH let him go and they now only have 1 or 2 recognised strikers

Jimmy Floyd punted by Burton. Hopefully our contract with them & Moult is secure. Disaster if the new manager cancels it next week

Get moulty on for a cameo the last 10minutes. The guy was always a great header of the ball. Rolando& mcinstry pinging in crosses......

Moult to come on with 5 mins to go and score 10 goals!

Van Veen taken the huff at Louis wanting his number back

If he signs then i cant see how it can be anything other than good news. Will he be the same player as we had before? Highly doubtful. However can he be an able back up for VV when he's knackered or suspended? Surely. Also, we all know if he gets himself fit, he will fight tooth & nail for a starting spot.

For a few different reasons that was my first game since Sligo at home qnd wow, what a turnaround. Forget the scoreline, it was great to see us going forward with intent, attacking, making things happen and even when not in possession, really pushing up on ICT. Our players actually look like they know what they are doing and it was enjoyable to watch. It must be enjoyable for them as well without us all shouting at them. The shape went to pot with all the subs but the game was done by then. Could we have won that under GA? Possibly, but it certainly wouldnt have been pretty or even comfortable. We would have sat back a bit and made ICT look good. Tonight, we never gave them that chance.

Aarons first appearance for us was very positive and full of promise. He only got a handful of appearances after that and was sent packing due to the covid issue so i don't think we should be rushing to judge him just yet. When everything was shut down but before the season was officially called, i did see him out training himself at the palace grounds on quite a few occasions. Speed work, bands, bag of balls. The guy was obviously trying to keep himself in shape/sharp which is encouraging. Given that GA shipped out all of our width and pace, then Aarons certainly brings us something we don't have. Hopefully going to be a good addition to the team.

Im far from in the know, so could be completely wrong here but I would be shocked if we are paying anyone £4k per week. Let alone adding another three at that level.

A win here would put us 11 clear of Killie and probably Dundee United (as they play Celtic). While it's very early doors, that is a pretty good safety net for the time being.
