That will only kick in if we get beat 😁

Yup....maybe they haven't noticed SOD, shhhh you and I will keep it to ourself

I can't lie, I was expecting a full on forum meltdown about this line up 😄

No mcghee either. Is Wells injured?

Certainly makes you wonder.

No Miller? Potentially moving soon then.

Official site says the game will be streamed on MFC TV for overseas subscribers (no PPV option).

See if you can get lifted over also 🤣🤣

Agree about Balmer and hopefully the new manager plays the game to Gordon's strengths and coaches him a bit, not like our previous manager who seemed to go out his way to play his players out of their natural and preferred positions. I think he did that with evey position in the team except the goal keeper.

Gordon was poor in his latter games for St J and after a brief encouraging start with us he then reverted to little better than the rest. Positional and ball retention, trying to play out hardly inspiring. There has to be a player in there given his earlier St J performances and I think he found playing in a back three especially difficult. I have hopes that in a back four, concentrating on defensive duties, we will see the player we hoped we had signed. But he needs a partnership and I do not think Balmer is that player. So yes we need a CB that the Manager knows and trusts.

Gordons fine when he's played to his core strengths of defending high balls and clearing his lines, not so sure how he'll cope with playing it out from the back which looks like the way we'll be set up.

Agreed a solid centre back and a keeper that will command his area, come for cross balls etc takes a whole lot of pressure away from the rest of the defence.

Gordon strolled thru the first phase of games for us last season ,he can’t suddenly just turn shite. Need to take into account previous manager lost the plot after those games. Still think he’s a good defender. Looks like Ox will have this injury hanging over him for a while.

2 pay at the gate turnstiles open today…. Finally some common sense. Will head down and pay at the gate at 2.50….. oh the nostalgia

JBA will definitely want his own man in defence, someone with the physical attributes that is also comfortable with the ball. Hopefully a commanding goalie is also on his radar.

I think I'm really looking forward to this season if we get two guns in the defensive area.

We really have pushed the boat out in the past few weeks, strengthening midfield and up front. That's great. However, I still worry that the defence will ship goals. I know there are issues there with the number of legacy players but JBA may still want to shake things up in that department.

I think you've hit the nail on the head.

I think it's fairly obvious that the 4 people who are vice captains are experienced pros who can guide the more inexperienced new signings in the football world. I don't believe it is a marker for how many times these individuals will play.

I might be happy he is not our manager but doesn't mean I don't wish the guy well I was at Motherwell College 25 years ago and a project involved a tour of the stadium , trophy room etc . Some will say which trophy room ? He was very pleasant that day , he didn't have to be of course . Taking the time to speak . Only met him of course for a few minutes . There was a guy called Russell Rodgers who done the tour Proper gentleman

You've got the right to your opinion absolutely. I've got the right to mine too.

My son's just said Elijah looks like Messi in videos he's seen lol ⚽

I'm quite excited about this group. I do think the squad is too big and people may need to go on loan or be released, however I'm happy that we are recruiting better quality, hopefully more quality than English non league that we been used to past few years. I'm so looking forward to us cooking st Mirren and Kilmarnock. !
