I was not a fan of Wilson as a player and I thought we’d seen the last of him when he went off to Raith but credit where it’s due, I thought he played really well last night and looked a better player than the one that left us. The manager sees something in him and sometimes that’s all that matters to raise your game, confidence goes up and performances improves… long may his form continue

Oscar was brilliant tonight, he gets my vote . Fadinger was excellent, also pleased with Moorman, Williams, Reich and Paulsen. that tonight was way better than I expected.

Any idea where this walk is? Please tell me it’s not up Airbles road. I need to drive a pensioner up to the game and with the road works going in I can be doing without any other delays.

Just noticed as well they have put tickets out for sale in the middle section of the lower south stand. That’s brilliant that we’ve sold almost all other tickets. Something like 100 tickets left in the POD, cooper and East.

The manager does seem to have a wee but of an obsession with Mikey Booth? He’s mentioned him personally in 3 different interviews. In all honesty I thought there were better youngsters on show on Friday.

Alfred’s silence on injured players at the presser suggests they must all still be fkd or extremely doubtful which is not great but it does sound like the burton Albion signing will be straight into the first 11. he did mention that HB are in a good run of form so it’ll be a tough game. I’m expecting a draw or a narrow loss and we can hopefully turn it around next week. Time will tell.

Nice kit, it’s like the 2003 untouchables away top which I have in a bag in my loft.

Not to fling shade onto this but I have real doubts we will get passed HB.

If selling Watt enables me to get a recaro seat fitted in the POD then I’m all for it. Not that I want to sound selfish 😂

I hope he does well but not to sound salty, he’s not exactly set the heather on fire anywhere in his career until last season and clearly JBA got the best out him. We’ve seen it before KVV, Theo Bair….. even Ward, get them for nothing, give them a new lease of life and punt them for a good amount before they start to underperform. i sort of feel the same about JT, I felt the dip in his performance last season was drastic. The only player I see moving and getting better is Just. Just in my view is our real class act.

He did move forward when he realised Eli was about to take it but split seconds before it he was looking in the other direction staring at the east stand…looking oblivious to what was going on. a few of us were looking at him laughing when we really should have been concentrating on the penalty….. my lack of awareness was up there with Willy’s

I was hoping to see him play last night, he’s the one youngster I think has a huge chance.

I’ll not bring it up again as I’m not going to bully this guy but he’s not a football player. He had no idea what he was meant to do, his movement was awful and what tipped it for me was when Eli took his penalty, he stood 25yrds out looking at the east stand. He’s a striker supposedly, he should be on the edge of the box.I honestly thought we’d been duped by George Weah’s cousin. Anyway… on another minor point, the big lad who came on in the 2nd half? Nagunda? Or something? He’s 16yrs old!!!! 16!!!!!! I thought he was a coach when I saw him warm up at the start of the game. He actually looks like he can play but he desperately needs to shed some timber.

I really hope I’m wrong too. Hooking him for no reason after 30 mins in a friendly though may be a sign the manager saw enough too.

I’m normally a half glass full type when it comes to Motherwell but I really didn’t know what to make of that tonight. I do think it’s quite concerning playing that side with such an important game next week and having so many kids get quite a bit of game time. I compared it to the game v Hertha last year where I saw a style emerge and players always available looking for the ball to this tonight where at times we were trying to stumble through the opposition. I thought the players we know did fine, Eli, Said, Lucas and Oscar I thought did ok and RCC looked ok too. The new keeper looks ok-ish but quite small. Moorman I thought looked a wee bit like Liam Gordon but less aggressive. a couple of the youngsters I thought looked handy when they came on…. Not all of them. The boy Hunter scored a really well taken goal. negatives. Willy Vogts. I am never a guy to judge too quickly but apologies to everyone as I’m going to do it. That was probably the worst debut I’ve ever seen and he was hooked after 30mins. He looked like a competition winner, he doesn’t even walk like he plays sport. I can only hope he was ill and he recovers but to play this guy and not use big Thor I found utterly baffling. also Alfred screams nonsense during the game, he’s extremely loud and quite confusing. I did feel at a point in the 2nd half to shout and tell him to shut the fk up. and don’t get me started on the POD seats…. My back is breaking, there’s no space and the guy in front of me cut all his leg on the sharp corner of the plastic seat… blood pissin out the back of his leg. Unacceptable. I’ll go to bed and just hope next week we have some players back and fit. But to be honest, I’m not too hopeful unfortunately.
