I don’t think any manager could get anything out of this squad, absolutely rank rotten, worst squad since harri kampman. 

Funnily enough, I genuinely don’t think I’ve found a Motherwell side so awful to watch, without being a side fighting relegation, since Kampman’s time. We are absolutely devoid of any football and don’t look like scoring goals.

edit: and that includes 18/19 under Robinson when Main & Sammon we’re our front two.

Was stupid giving Watt away in January,they will leapfrog us in the league and reap the rewards.

Letting watt go was one thing,it was clear alexander wanted him gone but to not replace him was criminal,we are missing him big time,the 100k we got will be meaningless come the end of the season.

Replacing him in January like for like was always going to be a near impossible task. We should just have paid the guy what he was worth. If we can do it with the keeper we can do it for a guy who could offer us 20 goals in a season. That's criminal.

This is reminding me of that John Hughe's Hibs team (2010 was it?). Strong start to the season then an utter collapse from December onwards. 

It's all starting to get a bit sore. The reality is we will be sitting mid February having not won a league game since December and if I was sticking money on anyone for Saturday it sure as hell wouldn't be this lot. Only Dundee are worse than us over the course of the last six matches and our goal difference is the worst in the league. 

That said we are like a cat with nine lives. Everytime we make an a*** of it Hibs and Aberdeen seem to follow suit.

We have the 3rd worst goal difference in the league Dundee and StJ are worse.

I agree,getting in the right replacement for watt was always going to be tough in January but to strengthen a direct rival by giving them arguably our best player for a 100k was a massive gamble that is going to backfire on us.if we couldn't get a suitable replacement we should have kept him,we are the only losers in the watt deal.

I never expected us to replace like for like but surely we should have had another striker lined up?
