Yeah i actually watched their game, he was excellent as well, and then went down unchallenged and hobbled off. The boy has no luck. This was a lad who had no injuries ever until he was forced into that preventative surgery and now he seems to be a continual crock. Gutted for him.

I think this new board set up is fantasic and i love the new way of thinking a modern way of going about things.i dont have a bad word to say about it. Sure might not get it right all the time but i shall never ever criticize for trying to do something different so for me 10/10! Kyrk comes across so well every interview i have seen him do also Caldwell too its say to safe think the clubs in the best hands its been in for a good number of years and we are moving in the right direction.

This was a brilliant listen. Really enjoyed that

That's Miller and Kelly been called up to the Scotland squad

Here is one of his interviews

Only going on his interviews and stuff I have read but he seems a very positive individual and I’ve been pretty impressed. The appointments of Wimmer and JBA have been a bit left field but I’ve found both managers a breath of fresh air in particular JBA, I think he’s been extremely impressive in such a short period of time. I had doubts he’d be able to get that group of players to play in an entertaining, possession based way and I’m staggered with what I’m watching at the moment. in all honesty I can’t recall ever feeling as positive as a Motherwell fan and I’ve been attending for 50yrs. I know at some point the wheels will come off but that’s all part and parcel of supporting us, let’s face it, we are mostly all glass half empty individuals. But so far it’s a big thumbs up.

Very good post. I really like the chairman and way he has been running club, I also think Caldwell is doing good job

Interested to start a discussion on how our new Chairman's vision of the club going forward has been taken on board by the fan base . He certainly comes accross well in interviews and seems very honest and transparent with his answers to questions. Feel it's a much tighter ship now as not much gets leaked as seen with transfers incoming and out going . For me I'm on board . He like many of our support were not happy with many aspects re. the football side and in particular the style of play adopted by the managers appointed pre Wimmer . Hes gone about changing that completely by being bold with European type coaches who have different ways of looking at how the game is played and also different mindsets/mentality . Pre Wimmer it was doubtful I'd have renewed my ST as the football was an awful watch imo . I've been going to FP for 58 years and it would have been a wrench to stop but this fresh approach has been a breath of fresh air . How will we do this season ? . Position wise don't think it will be much different to any other season say 5th to 8th kinda thing but I'm 100% convinced it'll be a much better watch So to conclude I'm delighted the Chairman has taken this bold step and should be given enormous credit for his decisions so far in changing the direction of the club .

The wins will come. Christ, we've played 4 games! No-one expected 3 points against Rangers (We got 1). StM (Very much our level) 1 point on their turf (decent result) StJ were never going to be a pushover. Best of the championship with something to prove. (We got through) We battered Hearts for an hour in capital and not a soul would have expected that. Yes we should have seen it out but we'd all have taken a point before a ball was kicked. That said, I expect 3 points on Saturday against the one who shall remain unnamed.

There's a where will we finish this season thread on the boards - I completely get what you are saying - but every year you get people saying some fans don't have ambition if they see avoiding relegation as the main priority and it should be top six and a cup run we are aiming for. I have always been more or less safety first - the league is tight as folk know. But I don't see why we can't aim for top six if we get a couple of more players in and we keep playing well.

Its premature to make predictions about this season for several reasons. In theory, a team can sign better players than they did in the past but what if rivals sign even better players? In short, its all relative. With the exception of last Saturday, we've had problems in converting possession into goals. That might change with the arrival of Hendry and Osong. Who knows? Our midfield is the match of most in the league, although it currently lacks a defensive element. Our defence, including the goalkeeping position, though concerns me. Our goalies are probably ranked in the bottom 4/5 maybe? Full backs? Early days but probably mid league. Central defence? Probably bottom 3/4. All this could change in the next 7 days of course, with the arrival of new recruits hopefully. So far, I like our new style of play but questionmarks remain, for me, as to whether it will be effective in securing results.

I think that what allows us to dream this time is not that the team are playing attractive and entertaining football, but that way of playing is being implemented by, what I think we would all agree is, a better quality of player from what we have had as the norm in recent years. The first 11, and a few on the bench are, in my opinion anyway, the equal of, or better than most teams in the league. Therefore, I don't expect a collapse. We won't win the league, we may not even get Europe, but a top-6 finish is certainly possible. Who knows where my dreams for this season will end?

This is what it’s all about

I think you make a fair point. My expectations are always avoid relegation and see what happens. Invariably I expect us to finish around 8th. But there are different ways to finish 8th in the league. We could grind our way there or we could play the way we're playing just now, win a few and lose a few but entertain along the way. Would I like us to finish as high ip the league as possible? Of course. But I enjoyed watching Butcher's team that finished bottom more than Alexander's team that finished fifth. Basically I want Motherwell to be as successful as possible but don't know if I want that if it means watching dreadful football...

Are you MJC......are you MJC....are you MJC in disguise?.........are you MJC in disguise.....🤣🤣

Not trying to put a downer on things as I’ve also enjoyed the games so far and hope that it continues but my expectations for this season, at the moment, is no greater then any other season, avoiding relegation first followed by a good cup run then trying for top six. As the season progresses that might change but for now I’m enjoying the games and will dream of giddy heights but reality and previous experience will keep those dreams as dreams until something’s in the bag.

My head up somewhere else according to Mrs grizzly 🤣🤣

Play like we have been and the wins will come,for me to be actually looking forward to watching us play is the big thing,for to long it's felt like a chore going to the football so I'm going to enjoy this period we're in as this looks like a manager and team that you really feel like wanting to get behind,that yesterday for the most part was as good as I can remember any motherwell team playing and I'm buzzing for the next game already.as a fan being excited for your team is what it's all about so let's see where it takes us.

I wasn't having a dig. I do get the wins need to come soon

Is it really? Is that a dig at my post - sorry for trying to be positive. I was responding to a post saying they didn't think we were going to keep Jens - context matters A team could be bottom of the league and potentially win a trophy

Not at all. Like everyone else, very much enjoying what I'm seeing so far.

I think JBA is much better than Gannon - and we've signed players who still need to get up to full fitness with hopefully more to come in

You're right. But we are currently 5th - so not doing so bad eh?

If you dont dare to dream when things are looking good, when can you? We could well fall flat on our faces, and if we do, you will be right and we will be wrong. But some of us will have had some fun along the way.... 🧡❤️🧡

Yeah I get that and like you I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far this season. But we need that first win badly. The reason I brought up the Gannon time is because that is the last time there was this overall excitement about the place early in the season which was based on, dare I say it, more than we’ve seen this season, and some of the talk about how good we would be was wild. And it all fell apart very quickly. I’m not saying JBA is anything remotely like Gannon but it is still very early days and regardless of improved performances we still haven’t managed to win a game yet. So, I’m not getting carried away.
