Genuinely; Turnbull, Livingstone and Maguire should be in our first team starting XI or thereabouts. The signings in the summer of Sammon, Donnelly, ATS and even Gorrin seem all the more mental when you have players in the youth ranks who are visibly and significantly better footballers. Brown, Watson and Mbulu look like very decent prospects for us. Scott is a significantly better forward than Sammon, with his touch being better than Bowman's. Hastie is going to be a terrific player for Motherwell. The most entertained I've been by football team at Fir Park this season. Football played the right way, the ball sprayed around by a very comfortable looking team of accomplished footballers. Final word on the ref today; He didn't half let some wild tackles go.

Except we have absolutely no one like Hastie in the current squad. He was good enough last season to get time in the first team. A good manager would be making sure these players get to develop here but instead we are signing sammon, rodriguez, grimshaw, donnelly to fill out a bench instead.

McLeish is quite clearly not well and it's been noticeable or a good couple of years. Questions should be asked of the people who have put him in this position, it can't be good for him.

Two of the best left backs in Europe? I watched Tierney play in Salzburg the other week, 48% pass completion.

Cadden got a run in the team after we got gubbed 6-1 by Hearts. Campbell got a run in the team after getting gubbed by St Johnstone and being booed off at half time at home to Ross County. Turnbull seems to be in the same boat as Maclean last season in that he'll get subbed on only if we are losing and devoid of ideas. It's no way to run a youth set up.

Over the 4 years he was here he was a very good player for us. And he scored an all time screamer.

Loaned to Raith Rovers probably.

meant to post this the other night in response to Busta and siebs posts, mustve fell asleep! unluckily post editor seems to have saved it? team selection and line up is a total shambles , I've taken to focussing on a few players each game , Donnelly was totally hung out to dry by Robinson at the weekend (again). the Lad is the most one footed player I think we've ever had, yet our experienced football manager puts him out there on his wrong foot for majority of a game, a second game in succession , the lad was almost shell shocked by time he got moved to RB. I'll go as far as saying Robinson is destroying decent reputations and perhaps even ruining players potential by dropping them into roles they just arent suited for. There can be plenty arguments that players should be capable of using both feet etc, but if a player simply cannot kick with his left foot, you'd have to be a certain type of 'visionary to think they would deliver on the left hand side, especially only a few days on from watching them play like a swan on ice Robinson is slowly showing he's losing it, having taken to 'putting down' these "qualified young coaches with their licences" that have ideas of playing football only one or two steps away from saying the players aren't delivering what he's asking them to do, a la Yogi Hughes patter. the football we've been served during his tenure up has been 80-90% god awful, 10-20% sheer delight, he might deserve more time, but NOT if he cannot select and set out a basic team utilising the capability of the players he has at his disposal (from his squad)

Donnelly is doing no worse than the rest of his team mates but for me the beard is an issue.
