He seems to spend a lot of time angrily shouting from the dugout, as plenty of managers do. But as I’ve said before, respect is earned, not demanded.

Next 5 games are absolutely massive for him don’t expect us to take anything from hearts but the rest are absolutely winnable like others have said we need to start seeing some style of football whatever that is & a clear plan for me I’m not comparing him to last year ( it’s an impossible task & was never going to be the same ) I’m judging him based on what I’m watching, time will tell

We're all hoping you didn't answer tour own question there 😉

I’m prepared to give the manager time but he really needs to start showing that he knows what he’s doing. However, from what I’ve seen and heard from him so far, it seems to me that his football knowledge has been gleaned from textbooks and coaching manuals. He looks well short on man-management ability and based on our recent performances, I fear the players are starting to doubt him.

Yup....I think thats what we are all trying to work out

The 0-4 gubbing at home against Aberdeen has knocked the stuffing and the confidence right out of us and Alfred looks completely clueless as to how to rectify it. He’s not helped himself with his team selections particularly yesterday. Also, I reckon if we hadn’t postponed that Aberdeen game in favour of this particular game and played it on the Sunday of the weekend it was scheduled for we would probably have beaten them then, or at the very least not got gubbed 4-0.

What's went wrong since? Alfred has had 6.5 more weeks on the training pitch with the squad.

Folk maybe thinking why I am mentioning this but it was only 6 1/2 weeks ago. 6 of the starting line-up started yesterday and we gave the bundesliga leaders a right game of it for 60 mins. Paulsen JGR. JKL. WILSON. LONGELO LOWRY. HODGE. FADINGER MASWANHISE SEB P-H. SAID what i am trying to say is we were playing good football then and we were all happy with the transition. Now I don't know what has went wrong since. Hopefully no internal issues and just needing one good result to get us back on track. Ever the optimist.........COYW

Stephen Welsh. Just checked out the Swansea City fans forum. would say Welsh is the best CB we have had in a very very long time. He has ages on the ball and his passes can almost unlock a team 2/3 times a game. Felt chuffed he was 'made ' in Motherwell . Needed a lift after yesterday.

Awwww shucks

You are funnier than those two.

So, in that aftermath of that drivel, Alfred comes out with this: “We believe we picked the right starting XI.” Bloody hell.

Bit harsh on Raymond and Tam 🤣🤣

The most unfunny comedy gig ever.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/motherwell AJ explaining why Willy started. I am sure the lad is working hard in training but his confidence totally shattered now though granted he didnt show anything yesterday. The one in 2nd half where Tierney outpaced him said it all

🤣🤣🤣

I will only ever boo once again in my entire life, it will be firmly rooted at Grizzly. Stand up and joke for Motherwell gig - to be confirmed. Starring Raymond Mearns, Tam Cowan and welcoming Grizzly G.

As others have said, the reaction to Vogts substitution was probably more aimed at the management team particularly due to the timing of the second goal. That being said, for a professional footballer to offer up that level of intensity and performance on and off the ball, I can see why some fans were pissed off.

If i ever done a stand up gig at fir park the booing would be 10 times worse ( minimum) 🤣🤣

Actually a good point pal, never thought about that. If Willy's confidence was low its absolutely shattered now

Only ever booed once in my life at the team, but it was firmly rooted at the manager. Motherwell 2 St Mirren 3 - 12th May 2007.

Absolutely all 100% true. But those booing need to give their head a wobble. No one ever got better by being booed off the park. Booing the team or the manager or even the officials at the end of the match is all fair game. Singling a player out, who is already struggling for confidence is such a bad look.

Agreed Grizzly. No point in getting on at the lad himself if he's struggling badly. No one booed him around me although a few critised the manager.

Maybe some fans were sarcastically applauding the manager for finally taking Vogt out of the firing line. A firing line he should never have been put in in the first place, given he’s clearly not good enough. It’s absolutely shite man management, to the detriment of both the player and the team.

Yup, made no sense when Said, JT or Kanga could have played that role. The reaction of some though when he got subbed I just didnt enjoy. Yes we all agreed he had to come off but for folk to be on thier feet sarcastically clapping I just dont agree with.
