Big city club and three times the wages ?

He’s building a reputation as one of the better managers up here so it’s inevitable there is going to be interest. Stats given for points gained by each premiership club from last October until now show Motherwell in 4th place behind only Celtic, Rangers, and Aberdeen, that’s pretty impressive given the budgets of many clubs next to Motherwell. I don’t see him as one of the favourites for either Hearts or Hibs but would anyone be hugely surprised if he ended up at one of the Edinburgh clubs ? Hopefully he stays a good while longer because I worry who we may replace him with.

I think he’s turned out to be the real surprise of this season, when I first saw this strong, athletic, positive player I thought maybe it was not the same players given pelters before he even played a game on the back of very poor feedback from supporters of his previous club. Gallagher was always going to e a good signing and Polworth just continues to improve. But Carroll could actually end up being a real find and we may end up struggling to hold on to him.

Yep, we really looked head and shoulders the better team. Pity we won thought, we would have had half a dozen posts by Yodo after a heavy defeat.

Looking in advance at Hamilton away on their plastic pitch then two big city clubs with budgets that dwarf ours the thought of three wins would seem ridiculous. I think it’s fair to say the management and players have to come out with a huge amount of credit for doing exactly that. The new signings along with Donnelly are also bit by bit showing they may have plenty to offer.

Just to put it out there again, 3rd is up for grabs this season for any team that can even hit average. Biggest challenge could be holding on to Robinson.

He was supported because he came through the ranks, he was poor the last few games and subbed. Moving forward I don’t see him playing in the Scottish Premiership in one of the better teams on a weekly basis. I could see him in a lower ranked team or one of the better championship teams. A lot does depend on his developments but I still think there will be question marks regarding his attitude moving forward, he’s no David Turnbull ability or maturity wise.

It will have been a huge increase in wages so think an offer many of us would have taken if we’re being honest. Taking the money out of the equation though he was very predictable and teams soon sussed him out, stop him cutting inside and you nullified most of what he did. He struggled with us last three or four games and was subbed, maybe by then his head was turned but i’m still not convinced he was the real deal.

Nope, but we still need one which I think Robinson is well aware of given he keeps trying to sign one.

I certainly think Cole can improve but I think that’s going to take a good few months, the same with Seedorf. We have a real chance to finish top four this season in my view ( there really are no quality teams outside the top two and that’s going to end up with Celtic top again) but to do that we needed a central striker that could hit the ground running.

In my view we really need a central striker so pretty disappointed.

In my time there appears to have always been a player that never gets a break, I just wish at times people were more patient and give players time to develop, Donnelly another always in the firing line yet improving game on game.

The attendance was just under 6000

Yes I think at this point in his development the wide position suits him.

Polworth for me.
