Aye the manager , who was a defence coach , can't see that and won't make that a priority to change. 

We don’t know that he’s not making it a priority. He’s said himself the window’s open for almost two more months and that we should expect more movement.

This'll be my first game this season, and even after the Clyde result, I am excited about the prospect of seeing some progressive, positive football from Motherwell. 

I expect that the first half will be difficult, but we will eventually win through by a clear margin, 3-0 to The Well.

The exciting, progressive football is definitely a positive. But with that defence and keeper, the only way we’re winning games is by scoring 3 or 4, because they’re always good for conceding at least 1 or 2 soft goals.

After that shambles in the plastic Sahara yesterday, anything short of a proper win on real grass won’t cut it.

[2025/26 Ins & Outs Discussion]

Forget what I said before. Today made it very clear this team is missing a spine. We need a GK, CH, CM, and CF. All of them starters.

[Clyde v Motherwell 12/07/2025 🏆]

Same shite (defensively), different season. That aside, it was good to see what some of the new guys brought to the table.

Listened to Halliday's press conference.  I like Andy, always speaks well and I think is a big influence in that dressing room. One of those players that probably doesn't get the credit he deserves 

He does get credit. He won the Players’ Player of the Year award last season.

That's fair enough here's the squad we'd be going into the season with in that case

Gk- Ox, Ward

RB - SOD, Johnny K

Cb - Gordon, Balmer, Mcghee, Mcginn

LB - Longelo, Wilson

CM - Miller, Watt, Halliday, Slattery, Sparrow, Fadinger

RW - Just, Nicholson, Ross

LW- Maswanhise

ST- Stam, Sule, (Robinson, Stuperavic both crocked to December at the earliest)

Plus any youth lads that could potentially break through

My point was made in acknowledgement of Miller being replaced, so that’s another signing. I also concede that another centre-forward would be nice, and perhaps a centre-half at a push, but anything more will bloat the squad.

The people of Firhill require socks. He’ll do well there.

Why are we now ruling Sparrow out of the right back role?

Because he’s a midfielder.

We have two fit strikers, one of whom is just returning from injury and the other has barely played a first team game. I think another striker doesn't make a bloated squad.

Ideally I'd move Balmer and O'Donnell on and bring in a centre half and a right back. It's not numbers I'm looking ing for, it's quality..

My opinion leaves scope for another striker, which I agree we need.

Balmer and SOD are going nowhere, unfortunately.

[2025/26 Ins & Outs Discussion]

I’ll be content if we don’t sign the extra 2–4 players some are now calling for. The same people complaining about a bloated squad in past seasons are now demanding three players per position.

[2025/26 Ins & Outs Discussion]

If we’re making any further signings, it won’t be a right-back. It’ll be an established player to replace Miller.

So with Clyde being the Hamilton club now is this a derby?

No. Clyde separates Motherwell and Hamilton.

Longelo looks like a genuine left-back rather than a wing-back, which, if we sign him, strongly suggests we’re sticking with a traditional back four this season. Hurrah.

Paying a fee for an established winger is an encouraging sign that we’ve moved on from the throw-enough-shite-at-the-wall approach.

We’re playing Carlisle behind closed doors.

Hat-trick for Sule. 

[2025/26 Ins & Outs Discussion]

Seems like a decent bit of business, especially if he can replicate Biereth’s loan impact.

There are rules and laws in place for good reason. Then there are self-important pricks who go beyond them, make it up as they go, and get it wrong through sheer incompetence.
