Fair dinkum we would be top of SPL with that mob 🤣😂

I've already said it but again, the "who do we replace him with" is just a nowhere question. In all my time on this forum I don't recall a single time any of us have correctly predicted a managerial appointment. Do you honestly think because a bunch of fans on a forum don't know who to get that there just isnt anyone out there? If you honestly think that there is not a manager out there that could do better than the current one that would take a job at a financially stable top flight Scottish club then I really don't know what else to say. Its not our job to know this, its the clubs.

Without changing how we play now would be a decent time to move to a back 3 That would enable longelo and sparrow to push further up think this could help both our defensive and attacking shortcoming

Henrik Jensen assistant at Burnley go & spend some money on Simo theres 2 names for you that’s on the back of my earlier post rather than your’s el grew 😂

Good job we didnt sign 11 aussies, we would have a 5 a side team!! Just waiting on big jake getting injured next

Ideally we need to win our next 2 games although I’d settle for a win and a draw. Anything less than 4 points and I think it will be time to part company with the manager. Having said that, there are a few problems with that: 1. He’d be due compensation. 2. Who to replace him with. 3. A new manager may not be able to turn things round.

Johnny k another injury,muscular,wtf.

Who’s a suitable replacement 😂 when was the last time Motherwell employed a manager that was on anybody’s shortlist? & tbh it’s a much better approach that it’s not the usual suspects, sometimes it will work….sometimes it won’t u could pick any manager in world football & they wouldn’t lose 6 in a row with this team gave plenty reasons why I think he doesn’t work…..blindly defending a manager without giving any reason for optimism was what I questioned you must be pals….or maybe…..

The gaffer said

I'm merely reflecting the figures that have been reported online and in the media. I realise the accuracy may end up wide of the mark but we most certainly invested more money than we've done for years , even if it was £300,000 we aint getting value for money so far. However as you say the club accounts will confirm

Far too soon to say "We signed some decent players over the summer" I think the Jurys still out on that one. The only one who consistently convinces is Lowry.

To be fair, you've not really backed up your point, or answered the original question. All you done is turn it on the person who asked the question. All you've said is 'it's up to the decision makers' (which is an absolute cop-out) but have pushed another user to give a suitable answer. Well, one that's suitable to you. I know this is all about opinions, and how we're all free to voice them, but you could have given your opinion on who is a suitable replacement.

Fadinger and RCC possibly back for tomorrow but Lowry and JK out until after the next international break. Lowry has a knee injury apparently.

The manager has to settle on who he wants to play in defence. It's changes every game. That doesn't give them time to understand each other.

I think the way the game is played now, there seems to be a dearth of quality goalscorers at all levels. I dont think its too much of a problem if you get your midfield forward and support your facilitator. Last season we had JT, Just, Slattery and even Manny weighing in with goals. I think its something we have struggled to balance this season. I think Kanga on the left doubling up with Manny looks promising. But 30 minutes is a small sample size. Said started well, but has faded again. Lowry has picked up a few, but is now injured. I think there are goals in the team if Alfred can get it functioning properly. But, aye a proper goalscorer would be nice. Where to find one on our budget is another matter.

We're currently struggling to score goals and I think a major reason for that is our recruitment of strikers, which has been less than impressive even under JBA. Maybe its related to the way we play. Hendry, a permacrock, has never been a goalscorer, more of a facilitator. Thor looks to be the same type of player although he's never had a run of games. Palmer-Houlden again looks to be a facilitator rather than a goalscorer. Now this type of player is fine if you have others able to score from deeper positions but we currently don't. JT was scoring for fun early last season and covered up the cracks, but his goals have dried up. Now, you could justifiably attribute some of our goalscoring problems and form of our strikers down to lack of support from midfield and you'd be right. In fairness, goalscorers are hard to find and don't come cheap, but right now we don't even seem to have a 10 goal a season striker. A big questionmark hovers over our striker recruitment policy.

Yep afraid I cant see us getting anything , our defence is shocking and you'd be better with me up front. Our record of 9 defeats on the stoat is looming large. I only think it may turn around once we get Priestman and McGinn back , until then its "bombscare are us".

Great stuff, Well Well. Thanks for all your efforts.

Has Alfred been bad in a previous life? He has no luck at all 🤣🤣, sorry.....hold on.....'ehhh uno aperol spritz and uno sangria pour favor ' 😎

Usually like a run up to Perth ,but a midweek game, horrible weather and the run of results we have been getting means I'll probably be in the house heating on and watch the game on the telly 😎👍

The travelling fans, however small in number, need to be vocal in reminding him that he is a snivelling shitebag.

Update for the week to 26 October. Citations are now at 38,718, up from 36,310 last week. Most of this week went into going deeper on clubs already on the site rather than adding new ones. Twenty clubs re-checked from top to bottom Every claim on twenty club pages has been tried against the British Newspaper Archive, the Scotsman and Times archives at the National Library of Scotland, the Scottish Football Museum's archive, the club histories and annuals, and the web: Airdrieonians, Alloa Athletic, Arbroath, Ayr United, Dumbarton, Dunfermline Athletic, Edinburgh City, Falkirk, Greenock Morton, Gretna, Hibernian, Livingston, Partick Thistle, Peterhead, Queen of the South, Queen's Park, Raith Rovers, Ross County, St Mirren and Stenhousemuir. Each page has new photographs of its grounds, old and new, and of the people it names. New on the site Scots Abroad has a new piece on James "Dun" Hay, from Woodside to Celtic, Newcastle United and Scotland, with thanks to Roy Hay for his help with it. Those Who Kept the Record, the page for the writers and archivists the site leans on, now includes Hugh Keevins and Michael Grant. The kits on every club page are now drawn as proper shirts, matching each club's real strips but without the sponsors. Club records now cover 52 clubs. Rangers' record wins now show both 13-0 Scottish Cup wins of 1877, over Possilpark and over Uddingston, thanks to Stewart Mathers, who sent the sources. The grounds map has 342 grounds, with Larkhall Thistle's Gasworks Park and Royal Albert's Tileworks Park among the new ones. Things the papers turned up Cowdenbeath's old Crawford's Park was North End Park. The ground at Foulford belonged to Mrs Agnes Crawford of the Crown Hotel across the road, and the club was playing there by 1884. Morton's page now shows both founding years, 1874 as the club gives it and 1876 as the SFA annuals have it. Albion Rovers were at Meadow Park from 1883, with thanks to the club historian Brian Nugent. Saltcoats Victoria's grounds from 1880 to 1936 are now set out, checked against the papers. Kilmarnock Women's old home at Strandhead Park in Stewarton is now the site of the Rose Reilly Sports Centre, named after one of the club's own. Crests and photographs 17 more clubs have given us their crests: Aberdeen City Ladies, Blantyre Victoria, Caledonian Braves, Carron Ladies, Cumnock Juniors, East Fife, East Kilbride, East Stirlingshire, Fraserburgh, Hill of Beath Hawthorn, Johnstone Burgh, Kilsyth Rangers, Lochee United, Lossiemouth, Nairn County, Saltcoats Victoria and Stewarton Annick Ladies. Ashfield sent club photographs from 1904-05 up to this year, and Johnstone Burgh sent theirs. Thanks to both clubs, and to everyone who has written in. As ever, if you spot something wrong on your club's page, the corrections page is there and I fix things in public. https://scottishfootballhistory.scot

Obviously “shite/pish” is subjective. The lack of intensity, movement, rotations and urgency isn’t. That’s the objective analysis behind my opinion. But I guess we see things differently.

What's the injury?

John Beaton the ref!
