Yeah you have gone too far with that bit

Tinfoil hat stuff can get in the bin though 😏

You might want to have a word with at least one of the 'absolute wankers' about being a bit harsh or verbally abusive to others. Although, in fairness, he can take it as well as he dishes it out.

That's a bit harsh. People on here are allowed an opinion whether you agree with it or not. It's a democracy. There's no need to be verbally abusive to others if they disagree with your opinion. Its Motherwell FC forum. Not "happy clapper" forum. Whether opinions are positive, overtly negative or balanced, they should all be allowed to be heard and respected.

Former well player Mandron equalises vs Rangers with a Mark O’Hara assist

I do understand the point you are making and I actually thought he would walk if we hadn't got that point at St Johnstone a few days later. The pressure would have been on if we had lost that game as well. Why should managers go every time we hit a crap run? We can't afford to be replacing and paying off managers every other season. Unless we are rooted to the bottom next season he deserves to see out his contract. Plus. He's got managerial experience and he wants to be at Motherwell. And as you say he's got the dressing room.

I will put my hand up and say SK should have went after the 3-0 Ross Co pumping but he has slowly turned things around and deserves a summer transfer window. I feel he is learning but has to stop over thinking and complicating things. Comes across as a decent guy and definitely has a united dressing room. No signs of players downing tools.....we are just poor at times. COYW

Looks like a red card from this angle.

I was told St Johnstone appointing Levein displayed the kind of ambition Motherwell never show. Championship football seems a strange ambition, but there you go. Ross County, Hibs and Aberdeen could tell similar stories - multiple times - but apparently we should have no trouble finding a successful manager with great experience at our level.

Exactly this. It’s when you then ask them who they’d have in SK’s place they come up with names such as Tam Courts and Yogi Hughes. Lunacy. I quite like SK and I like his backroom team. Ok we occasionally have shockers of performances but this happens every season under every manager.

I completely agree. I honestly don't get why the standards set for Kettlewell seem to be so high - as long as he keeps us out of the relegation zone he's going to see out his contract.

If SK had been sacked we would probably be heading to the Championship by now, and the usual fuckwits would still be whinging about the new manager and how they need to be dumped. I'm glad the club seen sense, it's stability we need not a constant churn of managers every other season.

Would have probably seen us relegated and paying off another mgr but the posters advocating that are ok with that. We have lost a lot of soft goals but we just don't seem to have the defenders currently at club

You're probably right. They could have taken the decision to sack him then but didn't. That decision could still be taken tomorrow, next week or in the summer - there was no missed opportunity.

With Vale that has been my main gripe for weeks. He is a striker so why are we playing him in deeper role? Bair is isolated on his own. I also agree that guaranteed he starts Nicholson but I would hope he started in place of Spittal and we bring Moses in for Vale. Or bring Shaw in for Vale......cueeeeeeeee......ba.......boom....🤣🤣🤣

When we were on a poor run and folk on forums said he should be sacked I assume.

He has already been signed for another year

SK should be judged on this transfer window, he's still working with a lot of guys who were given contracts by Ga / sh...you can only work with what you've got. There are players now on their 4 th manager .

We need a new keeper. Kelly is too expensive for what we get from him now. We either want someone who can command their box or stop shots very well, but we likely can't have both. Depending on what formation Kettlewell settles on for next season, and with the defensive aspect of our game being one of our major weaknesses, there’s a need for a least 3-4 new defensive players, and I include the full/wing-backs in that assessment. We need a couple of midfielders and a good bloody winger. What we don't need is several guys past their peak. We also need another striker as I’m not sure about Ferrie so far, unfortunately. So, I make that at least 7 or so new first-team players are required, and a massive clearout. Several players can go immediately, and Kettlewell needs to be brutal in this cull. If Kettlewell (and Daws) doesn't get his third transfer window right, and it's his biggest challenge yet, he’ll be gone by Christmas.

It baffles me that Kettlewell can't see what the fans see every week regarding Vale. He's a striker; play him beside Bair. It's that simple. Although I bet he starts Nicholson instead of Moses next week. It's time for a new keeper next season. For a team like ours, I’d rather have a big commanding keeper than a smaller shot-stopper. I'm pleased to see that Kettlewell isn't afraid to call out the officials on this incident. However, it’s a shame he's not as quick to learn from his own persistent failings, as perhaps that would give some indication that he's capable of implementing effective changes across the piece.

Pretty much agree with that, although I'm still not 100% convinced of Blaney yet. Maybe 2 central defenders?

The one that lives only in his head.

What opportunity was that?

That is based solely on clean sheets, here is one that shows that Buckland and Hart are joint worst as they haven't saved a single league penalty between them. Lies, damned lies, etc

I hope Andy Halliday hasn’t signed a pre-contract for next season. If so we should be cancelling it pronto. Can’t see how he’ll be any use to us next season. He’s miles off it. some of Davor’s recent performances have been poor too. We may need a full set of starting midfielders next year if Miller is inexplicably sold. I would be happy with Casey mcginn and blaney next season rotating around a new commanding centre half. kelly’s times up
