Gordon strolled thru the first phase of games for us last season ,he canāt suddenly just turn shite. Need to take into account previous manager lost the plot after those games. Still think heās a good defender.
Looks like Ox will have this injury hanging over him for a while.
Gordons fine when he's played to his core strengths of defending high balls and clearing his lines,Ā not so sure how he'll cope with playing it out from the back which looks like the way we'll be set up.

He was one of may favourite players when I was a kid. I think I was about 9 or 10 when he joined us. Of course, at that age I had no idea of his history. For a brief time we had Wullie P, Bobby G and Peter M together.
That made my heart singā¤ļø.

I thought we were poor last night for what itās worth but not going to lose sleep over it. If we are as bad in 3 weeks time then I may get worried
If you browse through some of the other SPL teams fan forums they're all saying pretty much the same thing.
Welcome to close season in Scotland.

Pity just as it looked as if we were beginning to get into the game a bit better.

Thread Title: "If Thatās Our Ambition, Then God Help Us"
Posted by MJCRight, Iāve tried to stay off here for a bit but after watching that yesterday I genuinely wonder whatās going on at this club.
Weāve just had a pre-season where weāve allegedly strengthened, yet here we are playing hoofball against a team that finished 9th last season and looked like they couldnāt be bothered to get out of second gear. Is this the grand new era we were promised? More like the same old p*sh, just with a fresh coat of Dulux.
The manager says āthe boys gave everythingā ā aye, well if thatās everything, weāre in for a long season. No shape, no urgency, no clue. And as for some of the new signings ā honestly, Iāve seen more presence in a ghost town.
We let players go, tell the fans weāre building something, then turn out a performance like that and expect folk to pay Ā£25 a ticket and clap like seals? Sorry, not for me.
Call me negative (as usual) but unless thereās a serious wake-up call, weāll be sleepwalking into another relegation scrap by Halloween.
Anyway, Iāll leave it there before I say something Iāll regret.
Now there's a great idea.
We all do the same and post the results.
That would be hilarious.

Assistant manager appointed:
https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2025/06/23/max-rogers-appointed-assistant-manager/
Someone out of the box and not indoctrinated in the SPL way of thinking. What's not to like.
We're certainly blazing a trail and hopefully it all comes good.

That thought had crossed my mind also , after everything that happened with Stuart Kettlewell I wouldn't put it past the media to be asking our ex manager's for an opinion
Wait until we play Killie for the first time. You can just imagine the headlines.

Sorry to see Ahmet leaving
I didn't honestly think he would be staying on realistically though
Maybe new Assistant manager to Michael WimmerĀ

Heās probably no better or worse than any other winger we might pick up from within Scotland. That said, most of his career has been spent in the lower leagues. Still, I canāt help but find it funny that Kettlewell has signed an attacking winger.
Going to play him as a RB (probably).

If we go with a traditional back four next season, I think Wilson would do the job just fine. As for Thompson, he doesnāt offer much going forward or defensively, so I would be disappointed if we gave him another deal.
Ā
Saw Wilson playing the traditional left back position for Beith and he was easily their best olayer that season when they won the WOSL Premier League title. Definitely looks happier playing in that role although he was used as a wing back on occasion as well.
Wouldn't have any qualms about him as a LB in a back 4.

Don't know much about Sylla, I must confess, and I'm aware of the Ebbe Skovdahl line about statistics but we've already signed a defender from a Dundee team that conceded 77 goals last season (highest in the division). Not sure signing a 31 year old defensive midfielder from that same team is guaranteed to help our defensive solidity...
I can only go with what the Dundee fans say about him and the general consensus is that he was one of their best players in a poor team and they're gutted to lose him.
Must admit any time Ive seen him he's looked steady if unspectacular which is probably what we're looking for, unless our new man has his eyes on something better.

If we werent continually having to look for a new manager what else would we have talk about during the close season.
Seriously though every new manager is a risk. This one is no different to anyone else we appoint.
He might bugger off after a season or he might just bring something we've all been looking for and become a club legend.
Either way I'm more excited about this appointment than I would be if we had gone with one of the recycled shit tactics Scottish managers.

Weāve had a fair number of managers who were with the OF:
Roger Hynd Ā Ā Ā
Davie Hay Ā Ā
Jock Wallace Ā
Bobby Watson
Tommy McLean Ā Ā Ā Ā
Terry Butcher Ā Ā
Stuart McCall. Ā
Alex McLeish Ā
Billy DaviesThe only one I had no time for was Jock Wallace who IMO was an ignoramus.
Funnily enough Im reading Tommy McLeans autobiography right now and it's spooky that a lot of stuff he talks about is even more relevant these days like the lack of young talent being given a chance for example.

i watched there games in the play offs and they were brutal,if that's how brown wants his teams to play then no thanks.
TBF I've seen them live 3 times in the League and they played some nice stuff.
I suspect he changed his approach specifically for the play off games.
A moot point anyway as I don't think he'll be in the running.

Leaving aside Brown's history, IF and I stress if we're looking for a young manager with a half decent record, seems to have done well at Ayr according to their fans and who hasn't yet been indoctrinated into the SPL shit tactics managers club, we could do worse.

Nah Iām not convinced of that. You tend to find that the people who buy the kits will buy them regardless of what they look like and those who donāt, wonāt buy them. I genuinely donāt think that chopping and changing the design and template of the kit makes much difference to sales, or any difference atall.Ā
Have to agree with you there. I buy the home, away and 3rd strip for me and my son every season.
It wouldn't matter to me what it looked like or what sponsor was on it.

Will reserve judgement until I see how he does.
Caveat: Ā
Heās spent the majority of his career in the Championship.Every Dundee fan I've spoken to in person or online have said they're gutted to lose him and he's consistently been one of their best players every season.Ā

Linfield have given Dundee permission to speak toĀ DavidĀ Healy about becoming their manager.
Dundee fans not impressed as he has history in applying for jobs in Scotland when his contract is nearing end at Linfield and uses it as leverage for a new and improved contract and transfer budget. Did it with St Johnstone apparently.

Exactly what I expected.
Shite football on a shite park in a shite stadium only made worse by getting burnt alive with a 30mins wait in the kiosk queue and the usual wee fannies costing the club another fine by letting off flares amongst other things.
On the positive side we were probably always going to have to beat Morton in the last game to qualify regardless of the result today, assuming we don't massively **** things up against the 2 minnows.
