I might have missed this in previous discussions but how many games will we be missing Maswanhise? I know he’ll be away and out for the Rangers and Celtic games. Gutted to be losing him as these are big games at an important time. Maybe RCC might come in and play his role? It’s a tough ask.

The media think we are entertaining and a force to reckon with this season https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cz68g6qyqd3o A nice article to read

Have you seen the attendances down at Rugby Park recently? 😁

Financially, I'd say yes. Numbers wise probably one more if thats JBA's wish. However, there are a large number of complicating factors. I suspect there will some outgoings and maybe one return (Ewan Wilson, who hasn't set the heather on fire at Kirkcaldy). We might also receive bids for some players and Welsh's position isn't 100% guaranteed. So its a bit unclear at the moment. We also have the prospect of long term absentees like Nicholson, Robinson, Stuparevic, Sule and McGhee to consider. Some of those could be punted out on loan. Potential outgoings? Rumours of Aston Oxborough being unsettled; Kofi Balmer, Andy Halliday, Esapa Osong. Loans for Luca Ross and Dylan Wells (whatever happened to him?) I don't think we need or will do a massive amount of business next month; more of a tidying up/fine tuning exercise.

The last 5 years very much proved this not to be true. Even games we won under Alexander and Kettlewell could be soul destroying and just down right depressing when we lost.

Our squad seems pretty large, with our bench now containing multiple players who would consider themselves in the equation to start most matches I'd think. Question is, do we have room for more players to come in during this window without people going out the door 1st?

Coincidence that the board changed and society got more involved at that exact time.

Oh his current form, Miller would be on the bench (which sounds like a ridiculous thing to say, I know). I'd like to see a striker, a left back and another central defender in the mould of Welsh. If we lose any players then, of course, that will change. And anybody we bring in has to have played in a similar system because we don't have 2 or 3 months to get them up to speed.

Any win against Goodwin is a good win - so hope we can turn them over like we did at Fir Park.

Previously I'd say that a point would not be a bad result. Many years ago, I studied in Dundee and never saw us win there. We were at the start of the Tommy McLean era whereas they were flying high and reaching European finals. Given recent form and confidence from our new approach, this is now a fixture we should be looking to collect all three points from. Not a disaster should it not work out that way, but it would be great to keep the "feel good" factor going for as long as possible.

I agree 💯 , I will always follow us no matter what but from about 2020-2024 we were a tough watch often Since Michael Wimmer took the job , then Jens moved things forward we are a much better watch Enjoy every home game now

Yes, win lose or draw Motherwell are always entertaining thats why we support them, through the good times and the bad.

We dont need another midfielder on the books, Watt, Slattery, Just and Fadinger are doing just fine. At least one ideally two strikers should be top of the wish list

I'd hope for a second left back if possible. Koutroumbis did well there yesterday but having someone naturally left footed there automatically widens the pitch...

Is Miller good enough for our current midfield ? Rumour on my radar is that he's going on loan to Celtic with a £4M buy option.

People might think i am being daft but......how about getting Lennon back in January on 6 month loan? Usinese get him having first team football plus Lennon has chance to get in world cup squad. Just my view

I certainly don't think that we are anything other than a "work in progress" and that any chance to improve the squad should be looked into. My main point would be that it takes time for any new players to fit into a new club. Previous successes like Baer and Van Veen only flourished in the second half of seasons. Bringing in anyone in January therefore becomes more of a gamble, especially if we are looking for immediate results. We may also have players coming back from long term injuries. Perhaps we will get more from seeing what they can offer, rather than taking a chance on someone from outside the group?

Yes. I am loving it and long may it continue

No sympathy at all, guy threw whole support under bus in January then did his YouTube interview with Oprah mcgregor on same day wimmer was appointed.

I was honestly so disconnected from the club and playing squad in January that attending matches was more an obligation than an enjoyment. Fast forward to Askou and I'm in love with us again.

Even if we have a total collapse in the 2nd half of the season and end up with a bog standard 5th-9th Motherwell finish, I'd much rather it be this way than watching an Alexander or Kettlewell style team.

I've just watched Luke Armstrong score for Carlisle at Blackpool in the FA Cup. Unfortunately for him, Blackpool are 4-1 up.

In my head when I came up with the 17 points thing, we were beating Falkirk and drawing this one, however, it's on grass, they're shite and we're 2008 Spain. Nothing can go wrong......

If we can win this and our next home game (as predicted by Allymax) it coukd be a major boost for us since there are a bunch of games where the teams around us are Playing each other.

Kettlewell is obviously feeling the pressure, but his outburst last night was disgraceful and should be called out by all in media. The guy has anger management issues and apparently he has been like that at all levels of the game towards officials. The officials as much as we all dislike them dont deserve someone cursing them in their face, especially from someone who apparently had it happen to him and his family. There is no excuse for his behavour and should be hammered by the authority. Lennons just be banned for 6 plus 2 suspended. Kettlewell should get at least the same.
