I think Dunne will keep his spot his pace does get us out of a lot of trouble. I have a feeling that it's Kilpre who will get dropped. My worry is that Aldred might be slower than Kilpre and might get exposed for pace against trickier opposition but he looks like a good no nonsense tough lad.

Very interesting to see what will happen re bowman, fisher, and newell. From what I have heard newell is rated as a potential first team player above those two. Speed and skil and needs to develop strength. Main and Citfi looked a different class touch control speed and strength - especially main who looked well up for it

Also learnt that dunne is really good in the air and winning balls when at CB.

What did we learn today? Kilpre - is still quite good - but Aldred is better (Aldred and hartley will pose probe,s for most teams) Tanner will boss gems and is a great creator Main and Citfi are both very good and a league above fisher and bowman Newell is back up (got injured) fisher ranked 4 and bowman on his way out!!,

Hang on a minute - Newell is 20 and was never intended to be a first team player immediately. He looks keen, fast and willing to give his all - for what it's worth Moult himself said that newell looks like a great prospect and one to keep an eye on. But agreed we definitely need a new strike force - the one positive from recent games has been Tanner. Both Cadden and Frear have been big losses for us.

Utterly ridiculous post. Frear is a totally committed player who give his all every time - it's comments like this from the stand that I find totally embarrassing get behind our players instead of shouting abuse. Frear was one of the few who fancied it against Patrick by the way!

Hammel got ripped apart is too slow for this level. The first glimpse of newell shows us why the u20 staff at Motherwell think he's the next big thing - his pace for that shot just wide was rapid. I would go with tanner whose skills and touch were evident throuought

Interested to see if Bigi makes a showing. Any inside information on what's happened? Last year he would have been playing every week, now he can't even get on the bench.

Hi I've never been to Pittodrie before - where is a good place to park? Got my wee lad with me - is there a bar like the cooper bar or do you need to get food somewhere else?

Bad news he's done his ham string and now out injured - just as he was looking good!

It shows how far Campbell has come!

It really is quite something that we signed bigi - who is a very good player and was seen as something of a coup taking a dip in wages and as he said himself was coming as a "servant of Motherwell football club" - and yet this great player who has a fantastic attitude can't get in the side because of Alan Campbell!!! Wow!

How did frear and newel get on tonight? Guessing McLean not enjoying new wing back role?

Injured? Bad? Or so good?

Makes a big difference whether frear is fit or not. If he is I can see Tait dropping out and coming on in the second half with Campbell, mchugh and bigi in the middle? Interesting as to whether he goes for rose in the middle though - think cadden will be right wing back. Tanner looked quite sharp the other night - good fitness check for him, but yes u20s totally different level.

Seemed to alter his position between left and right. His preference is supposedly right. If he's good enough - not sure how he would fit into our system. Tanner was also buzzing around a bit tonight as well.

I'm afraid Alex fisher missed a complete sitter - he was really annoyed with himself - he did score a header and pen though.

Was the best player on the pitch by some distance - very fast indeed.

yep,he set up 2 (won a penalty) and scored 1 - he is definitely rapid.

Hopefully the extra week will have allowed tanner and bigi to get full fitness and if that's the case there will be interesting selections to be made. Really good that we still have moult as I was certain that we would be relying on bowman/fisher to score the goals. Also signs from last game that bowman can operate well with Moult.

Yeah totally agree about frear - scary lack of cover - when he isn't playing we offer nothing down that side - although Tait did OK on the left.

I think that Tamner is seen as a major player within the squad for Robinson. Whether he is injured or not just now may play a part in whether he starts. But if fit I think he will start. The Tait injury doesn't sound good at all. We definitely need to get another defender in - hopefully that will happen soon. My guess is that Campbell won't start but will come on. Interesting to see if moult starts - he's certainly not looked himself. Fisher needs a shot in the middle and not out wide - whether that's as a sub or starter.

I honestly dint get it. Every game we play st Johnstone we match them - in fact even ou play them at times and end up losing. Sorry I'm now agreeing that bowman is definitely not a starter for us - we desperately need someone else.

Yes McLean is a central player but is pacy that's why McGhee played him wide. Would like to see how he would go in tanners slot.
