I could take one off you if you would sell them one at a time. Sorry for your loss

How JBA wants Ward to play is not the issue here. The problem is Ward's continuing inability to meet one of the fundamental requirements of being a goal keeper, ie catching the ball, how many points does he cost us before he gets benched.

Brendan Rodgers still is.

I personally think Maswanhise is pretty up and down a lot of the time but even if he scores a goal every few games it's worth it. I'll be happy to see what Hendry does when he's played a few more games. We very much miss someone like Spittal although Slattery does a good job in the middle

And in that 'over a year', how much time did Stama miss through injury? He has not had a full year on the pitch. And on top of that the entire team is learning a new system under a new Manager with numerous new players being introduced.. My point re Bowman was that he played his full part in the team scoring. As has and is Stama. Although I accept Stama is looked upon by us fans as the main striker. But is he? Maybe Maswanhise is looked upon as the main goal threat. Could Stama do better? Of course he could. So could everybody else in the team.

RIP Bobby. Well Legend

Stama only played just over half a season last year due to injury as folk know - we can't criticise him for not scoring enough goals over the season when he wasn't playing for just over half of it. He was playing well until the wrist break from recollection

Bowman had a natural number 9 in Moult alongside him. Stama, by contrast, was signed to be that number 9 himself, so the expectations are different. Comparing him directly with Bowman doesn’t really hold up. Stama’s had over a year now, which is more than enough time to have shown more than he has.

One of the most "cultured" players to don the C&A. A wonderful player and a deserved member of the Hall of Fame. RIP Bobby.

Started going in 1977-78 season just after bobby left but my dad said him and pettigrew were just immense So sad

I have been backing him since day one and I am still the same. I am with you pal

I had John Goldthorpe and Jumbo Muir, plus, on at least one occasion, Keith MacRae. Good but not what was to come.

Bobby Graham and Wullie Pettigrew were the first strikers I remember from when I started watching Motherwell. So I grew up thinking the way they played was normal, and all the strikers I would see at Fir Park would the the same. If only I knew...

Looked to me like he was heavily involved in both goals v Killie. He was in the right position then so an obvious improvement and a decent contribution. Given his price tag he certainly needs to score more. But if others are scoring off his work then that helps. Only Hearts have scored more league goals than us up to now. I think he deserves a bit longer before he is deemed a failure. We have had other strikers who were not prolific goal scorers but contributed. Bowman springs to mind. He had a poor goals return. The rest of the team made up for his lack of goals and so far that is what we are seeing with Stamatelopoulos. But could he do better? Yes.

One of our all time greats (IMHO), those of us of a certain vintage got to witness something special when he and Pettigrew were terrorising defences. RIP Bobby.

There’s quite a lot on social media from Liverpool fans talking about him too. Considering he’d played with them such a long time ago it speaks volumes of the impact he had when he arrived there. Injuries really screwed him over at Liverpool. I remember a friend of mine who knew him mentioned how he really didn’t like bill shankly which was the first time I’d heard anyone speak negatively about him. I think Bobby had got a really bad injury and was out for a long time and shankly didn’t speak to him at all after that. Would purposely ignore him if he were to walk past him. He then got him punted to Coventry? I think? without as much as a thanks and good luck. managers were mental back then.

Hi Everyone, Not sure if I am allowed to do this. Due to a bereavement I will not be able to travel to the game. I have 2 x Adult tickets (£52). Happy to sell for £35.

Sad news. Him and pettigrew are the best partnership I’ve ever seen. Pettigrew of course scored the goals but Bobby had the skill to set up the chances but I think his greatest attribute was not setting up the chances but his ability to control a ball that came to him at any angle speed or height. His touch and ability to bring a ball under control was outstanding. RIP Bobby

What a load of bullshit. The guys a good player and no where near out of his depth ffs he was capped for Australia last year and then spent most of the season out injured.

If he sat on the halfway line for 90 minutes, he'd still be better than The Rile.

One of my all time favourites, and quite a coup that we were able to sign him (thanks to his links with Ian St. John). Graham, Pettigrew, Goal.

RIP Bobby Graham My wife's grandfather's cousin , and a proper club legend who I would like to have seen play live

Stamatalopolous was involved in both goals on Saturday. I’d like to see Hendry get a game through the middle for comparison purposes. We’ve scored a few goals this season, that is not where the concerns have been.

Hopefully not another John Reilly !

Hope so with Hendry. Maybe Stama is more a penalty box striker. Yes he don't have pace of Taiwando but he's not slow either. I think Stama is doing better holding up the ball and linking up play. Looks like we gonna get more goals from midfield this year.
