Not a great start to Lasley’s short managerial career.

Not a good end to it either.

Cannae mind the last time Accies scored 3 goals in the league absolutely sickening,Chapman is more of a journeyman boxer than a goalie he would do better with boxing gloves on,Mugabi is a bombscare and the rest have zero confidence and are totally gutless be a miracle if we survive this season.

Robinson is in the past. He's been gone what, 72 hours now.  Just how long are you going to keep harking back to events that have been and gone.  It's all about the here and now.

That's how it works right?

He'd be in the past if he took the squad he built with him.

Sadly that's not the case.

[Yorkyred 525]

I think Lasley is probably not even in the frame now. It’s just a case of getting the right person in, as soon as possible. Wright would not be the worst choice should he want a return to Scottish  football, we would not be the worst choice for him.

You will be visited by the ghosts of 3 ex managers - the ghost of ex manager past, the ghost of ex manager present and the ghost of ex manager by the end of the season.

I don’t think Martin Foyle is responsible for Lamie and White, but I assume he had a hand in McGinley, Mugabi, and Chapman. He’s also not responsible for most of the players we’ve made money from, so he needs to go, and we can replace him with some guy off Twitter.

i didnt blame martin foyle    i just stated that  in robbos last interview he said  martin foyle was doing a great job      right now i dont think any off them  are doing "a great job"

Only keep the number 2 on as manager when things are going well - had Robinson left last December there would have been an argument for Las.

[Fairhill 17]

I wasn't able to listen today, but  I didn't think it would be 3-0.

I do not believe our develop and sell model will ever lead to a consistently winning team, and today we can reap the rewards.

I think we deluded ourselves that we were 3rd last year. If play had not been shut down with covid Aberdeen would have finished 3rd, and Hearts would not have been relegated.

We've retired the debt, great, but we're bankrupt in a football sense. We've got a fair price for players, Turnbull, but the fees have just not been put back into the football side of the business, and I really wonder how many supporters will pay to watch the quality that's bee delivered this season.

We’re clearly  getting fuck all out the next 3 games by the way. We could quite easily be cut adrift by February.

What’s the equivalent of throwing a virtual season ticket on the pitch before walking out?

Tweet them a Gif?

I'd cancel my streaming subscription, but for better or worse, it's my weekly homesickness cure. I think the team is trying to reverse my decision to move back home though.

Get onboard with Nashville SC, just tell the CEO that you know me and you'll be good.

Lasley’s probably reviewing old Robinson after match comments to see which one to use. 

[fizoxy 496]

One good thing is we didn't stick a camera in someones face as they walked off the park. I'm happy with silence today, instead of the usual shite.

I'm a Memphis 901 guy. They're shite too.

[texanwellfan 424]

I thought after the Dundee utd and Aberdeen games we had steadied the ship and would build on those results but apparently I was very wrong. 
 

ahhhh! For the good old days of 2020

Nashville done OK for their first season in the 'Big time'

I can't help but feel losing players like Tait and Hartley have been a bigger loss than we anticipated. It seems that their omission has left a hole in the team.

We have nobody on the pitch to rally the troops and the team seems utterly devoid of passion. Tait was really good at putting in one of those hard challenges when the game needed it, the sort of challenge that added intensity and drive to games when we really needed it. Hartley was an average footballer, but clearly cared about the team and winning and that's what the side is lacking badly. He seemed like a good motivator. The only similar player left is Campbell, but his bite has disappeared and he generally seems like a shell of himself.

I really don't think Gallagher has stepped up to the captaincy very well either, although a good player on his day, he just doesn't come across like a leader to me.

The team is just utterly devoid of any drive and it's blatantly obvious.

What worried me most today is that the players just didn't seem to even care about what they were doing, and had zero professional pride.

We now have a perfect storm of players who just won't cut it at this level, and complete shitebags who do not care one jot about the future of this football club. Pathetic.

Is it any wonder that some of the players don't care for the club, and by extension, the paying fans? This is surely a consequence of the model that the club has adopted. Our biggest selling point seems to be that we can put them in the shop window so that they can further their careers. So, we have short-term contracts and loans. It has nothing to do with playing for the Jersey and wanting Motherwell to be  successful. It is all about the individuals now, not the team.  The guys that seem to care are those that have an affinity for the club; Campbell, Grimshaw and Watt. Campbell may have lost some of his mojo, but so would anyone after battling alone in midfield for so long.

[Stuwell2 31]

I think the reason Las will be in charge for the next 3 games is not to let him prove he’s the man for the job but because

1. Rightly or wrongly,  we hadn’t planned for Robinson going so we have no one lined up. 
2. It will take a week or so to get and go through CV’s. 
3. In the present COVID circumstances, interviews will take time. 

So starting him after the Aberdeen game on the 23rd is possibly the earliest date unless we have someone in mind or had already been in discussions with them. 
 

[Spit_It_Out 16]

This and i mean the Accies team is one of the worst Spl sides i have ever seen and they pumped us.No fight in us other than Watt  and at least Grimshaw tries his best,Gallacher,O'Donnell and Campbell will be out the door by end of January and its time to invest in some quality or embrace the championship

Agreed. I said last season the model and the way it works had made us far too individualistic. Chris Long in particular is a prime example of this. We are no longer sold as a club that a player can have a collective achievement with over a period of time. We are now merely a stepping stone and that strategy has come home to roost.
