  1. He does. Robinson gave him a shout out in that interview lately highlighting his qualities and the impact of Covid and been stuck in a house on his own. He’s definitely got ability in my view but a combination of injuries and never really getting up to speed in a settled team has effected him.
  2. How about we just give them a chance before we start predicting league 1 football. Alexander is just through the door, he deserves a bit of time.
  3. The biggest plus is holding on to our better players.
  4. He did, played on that side when we played them at their place.
  5. Well I like to give everyone a chance but this is a very strange signing. Jeez the feedback is pretty grim.
  6. Was thinking exactly the same myself, let’s see who the Alexander signings are.
  7. No sure what that says about Campbell this season then, Crawford has actually been ok.
  8. We’re not doing any interviews in person, it’s all by video. It’s certainly not ideal but given the way the world is just now it makes sense.
  9. 45 minutes is all you need to make a sound judgement.
  10. Ok I’ve had a listen. Honest interview, clearly still cares about the club, yes he sells himself to a degree ( not a problem for me). Has a lot of good things to say about Motherwell FC and for me it’s all good. Can’t really see how anyone could take offence in truth.
  11. To be honest I’ve not even listened to it. He’s gone now so I’m really just concentrating on our new management team and the support they need. Robinson did ok for us and I doubt he’s said anything that’s going to cause the club any actual damage. As above I find people concentrate too much on these things and do tend to twist things at times.
  12. I think if I was out if work and had the chance to promote myself I’d be doing it, don’t blame him at all.
  13. And Aldred who was a failure at Bury, strange how some people’s memories seem to fade at times.
  14. The objection to signing players from the English lower leagues has been mentioned on many occasions. Where have you been. ?
  15. I think the vast majority of football clubs in Scotland are simply making sure they survive just now, any real ambition will probably be re evaluated when we all get through the pandemic. Even then I can’t see anything other than trying to balance the books while staying in the division. I know Robinson and Foyle took stick for signing players from the lower leagues down south but anyone that thinks that’s going to change under Alexander had better prepare themselves for disappointment. I think there will be quite a gap between what some supporters would like to see and the actual reality.
  16. Kelly is a very good signing, Lawless has actually been a member of two teams that have finished in the top six so decent for me, Smith I’m unsure about but Foley could end up a very good signing in my view, experienced and rated by St Mirren supporters. I think we need to accept January is a tough time to bring in really good players, other clubs don’t want to let them go.
  17. A decent signing and he can play midfield or centre half. ” Sorry to see him go. Ok I know he wasn't at his best before he was left out of the team, but that could have been said about most of the squad. We could have done with his experience over the hard run of games to come. Best of luck, Sam.
  18. I don’t think we have a right to state when he should be looking for another job, that’s his business. He did the right thing by resigning, we should respect that and move on.
  19. Not sure I’d say staggering, bringing in a decent goalkeeper has probably been the biggest change.
  20. Yep, better ignored it’s not a good look.
  21. It started with something that has summed up Campbell this season who was really poor, he would never have lost that 12 months ago.
  22. I would imagine location wise we would be in a good position to sign Foley over county.
  23. I must admit that feel good feeling has been a long time coming, very sweet now it’s arrived. I didn’t see the game so can’t comment but it has to be a huge confidence boost for the team. The margin between success and failure in most games this season has just been so small, so many teams that are all of a similar standard and even a couple of changes in personnel can swing it in anyone’s favour. The other massive thing is confidence, we don’t have a terrible squad, we never did but confidence had dropped and you can see that starting to turn around. Maybe Cole is now showing he’s the guy to score those goals alongside the hardworking Watt. I know Carroll is not everyone’s cup of tea but my god it’s good to have him back and thankfully we now have a reliable goalkeeper. I hold my hand up regarding Mugabi who is improving game on game ( who would have thought a professional coaching staff knew more than the likes of me). I like McGuire but have had my doubts about him in midfield, hey maybe I’m also wrong about that but would still like to see another midfield brought in, at least until Donnally returns and I see the signing of Lawless as another positive. I’ve still absolutely no doubt we can get out if this ( but then I still think we would have under Robinson). What I will say is Alexander is coming across really well and I like the amount of support he’s giving to the players in his interviews, yes you can argue he’s talking up the performances but it has to be giving the players a lift.
