I hope the said 5 figure fee was upfront, that bunch of tax Dodgers probably still owe us for Hastie
Burrows made it clear on the latest podcast that the the fee for Hastie was agreed early and amicably, and it matched fifa requirements, with a sell on fee added.

I’ve got to imagine that he’s at least been tipped off that Gillespie isn’t staying past this season. Will be interesting to see if this changes our selection going forward.
-
I expect 1, maybe 2 incoming.
Other than the obvious budgetary considerations, I don't see a need for more than that as we seem to be pretty well covered across the board.

Richard Tait is crying.

It's not impossible that there's more to it, but our midfield has been fairly settled and the team is doing well, so it's up to Sloth to force his way into the team. Robinson hasn't tended to rotate players to give them games in the past, and the 4-3-3 is working so far. When the team is doing well and there are few injuries some folk are just going to be out of luck.
We had the same with Hartley last year, and soon one of him and Dunne are going to be the odd one out.

All things considered, this is one of the mildest post loss meltdowns I’ve seen in a while. We’ve come a long way in 2019 :-)

With Donnelly and Turnbull set to return in the second half, I’d be surprised if we signed a midfielder. Although, if sloth goes it would open up a spot there. How do we look in midfield in the reserves? Are semple or Cornelius close?
Defensively we have Dunne on the way back, so we should be fine there too.
We definitely need a striker that offers something different, and hopefully not another “can play wide or up front” type, as we have plenty of them. Someone who can keep the defenders occupied and bring our wingers into the game.

We didn't have much in the way of midfield options on the bench, but that's where we needed the extra body when we brought Hartley on. Maguire for either Scott or Hylton at that point would have made more sense to me. But even if we did go with the extra defender, bringing on seedorf was dumb as fuck.
-
Don't know what happened to us at half time, but we were all over the place and them going ahead was just inevitable, as poor a half of football I've ever seen from us. Legitimately the worst game half of those players have had for us. Mugabe was particularly terrible.
We were far from convincing in the first half as well, with a big let off in the first couple of minutes, right before our well taken goal.
-
I'm totally complacent, we will hammer them. The good thing is that the players wont be complacent, and we'll still hammer them.
Someone who hasn't scored will score tomorrow.

A couple of their chances came when they were throwing everything into getting back into the game at the end. Campbell also had a great chance for us, and there was the disallowed goal and Polworth’s 1on1. We were also the better team over most of the game and looked comfortable. We were in no way lucky to win.

They missed one sitter and Gillespie made two good saves, all at a time where were were sitting in an playing more defensively, weirdly enough. Was convinced Thomas was going to sneak a goal.
We should have killed it when Polworth was 1on1, but that aside I thought he had a good game in place of Donnelly.
long is scary fast, and we need to find a way to exploit it more. I think he’d be a lot more effective in a 2. Thought Scott was excellent too.
whatever Andy Rose used to do is what O’Hara did today. Don’t know if that’s good or bad.
-
Thought that was Carroll’s best game for us, with the added bonus of a goal.

Every fuckin week one of our subs comes on and tries to be Billy big baws and ping one in from 30 yards instead of playing a pass. Every fuckin week.
It’s Seedorf every time. He started the season getting them on target and they now seem to be getting further away every game.
-
He’s been desperate to get O’Hara in, and there’s no harm in giving Polworth a break, but we’ll probably se a few changes over these three games into the break. He’s mixed and matched the forward guys all season, so I wouldn’t look into that too much.

I don't think Murphy would pay people to lick his arsehole, so he'd immediately be more use than McCormack.
But if Murphy did pay people to lick his arsehole and then he signed for us it would be amateur hour stuff by Motherwell. I can’t believe they would do that. The silence from the club on this is deafening.

A fit Murphy would be a great signing and would fit in to our system really well, but unless he’s fit and ready to go after the break it would be as pointless a signing as McCormack last year. We’d as well just bring Higdon and Coyne back if the warm and fuzzies are all we’re after.

We’re 4th after 18 games, including playing the ugly sisters twice each, and they are the only teams that have scored more than us, that’s how good we are.
We were poor today, and I have a feeling that Rangers only played as well as they needed to, and could have stepped up if required. Saying that, long and cole had good opportunities to score that really should have been put away, so it was hardly a drubbing. Hylton could have just sat down in the centre circle for 70 mins and had the same impact. That’s the deal with wingers though.
Campbell is really improving on the ball and growing as a player, it’s great to watch.
This was the first time I’ve saw Kent and I don’t see what the fuss is about. Morelos will never leave rangers because he’d be found out somewhere else.

We’ve been really sloppy, and are lucky to be still in the game. Seems half the team just want to get the game out the way.
-
What’s the shithousiest team we can put out?
-
Hearts had a couple of half chances, we were deserved winners.
-
Berra really does piss his pants at every decision, was fun watching him get wound up at the end. That red card was funny as well.
Good set up and finish for the goal, but I’m going to give moment of the match to Donnelly for his cynical challenge in the last 10, and Grimmy man of the match for his Hammell-esque drawing out of throw ins.
-
The manager hinted at changing things up on Wednesday. I’m going to guess that a couple out of seedorf, Scott and mugabi might start. Maybe Tait.
Cant think of anyone else who’s knocking on the door for a start. Campbell could possibly be in line for a rest,

There isn’t too much the club can do, but it really is pointless getting excited about any youth prospect at Motherwell these days.
