Stop the stealing a wage patter its shite.

Looks like we're in luck - it's showing up now in the Motherwell TV site.

Lamie and Mugabi have both had good spells in the team so I don't think they are uncoachable. However they are both inconsistent and have mistakes in them. I think Lamie has more 1st team potential than Mugabi and I'm not against both or either being replaced but as 2nd string players I think they are worth a place in the squad. They are both experienced, know the league and have a wee bit versatility, Mugabi can go to right back and Lamie can go to left back in an emergency. What I wouldn't want would be Lamie and Mugabi together as the centre backs for any length of time.

Alexander wasnt that great....... Boom! Grizzly is missing all these open goals....

Another one? The lad is only 22 and he has three kids. I'm surprised he has any energy to train!

The kind of disjointed performance you'd expect a week into the season. It's going to be 5 or 6 weeks until teams start really clicking and we are no different. Started poorly, dominated the middle portion, then faded out of it again. Although there was only 1 goal in the game both teams could easily have scored multiple goals and both teams missed what were frankly sitters. People will criticise Obika but he gets in positions and has good movement. Maybe his finishing is a problem but we were clearly a much better team while he was on. I'm not going to write off Wilkinson after one match but based purely based on today he showed nothing, not even a hint of anything. Hopefully he has better days. In midfield I thought the starters all did OK but it was individual performances and they didn't really click together as a unit. Spittal was by far our best player, Lennon Miller is a kid with promise but a lot to learn and Slattery is the enigma. For me he's far better suited as an AM than a midfielder or a DM. He gets forward well and is a decent finisher but his passing is sloppy and he's easily neutralised when the opposition is on the ball. I'm not entirely sure he fits into the formation. I'll give O'Donnell credit for stopping what looked like a certain goal but overall he was poor again and defensively we weren't entirely convincing, Queens Park could have scored 2 or 3 if they'd been sharper. Overall we got the job done and that was the main thing. Our fitness and sharpness will get better but there might be personnel issues in terms of putting out a balanced first XI that really blends well and compliments one an other. Would like to see Zdravkovski to see what kind of player he is and I think you are looking for more from some of the players, established and new.

He made a goal saving challenge and would have had an assist had Obika not inexplicably missed.

Disagree jonny as apart from mcginn who got motm him slattery and Spittal were only others who looked semi competent. Our best moments were when those 4 at different times combined down right hand side . Definitely need a striker or the 2 there just now improve drastically which is a doubt going by last 3 games but still time. Hope the new midfielder is an upgrade on miller so we can feed him in slowly as today I felt he got a bit dominated which is to be expected I suppose. Every time we are in the league cup it throws up more questions than answers but least we look odds on to qualify and likely as top seeds which is in most part down to kettlewells professionalism I feel.

Still very early in the season, and we're at a stage where we've likely not finished our transfer business (incomings or outgoings) so it's not quite the finished team yet. As long as we win these games and avoid disaster, I'm happy enough. There's always potential for slipping up this early, but we seem to be getting the results we need. Onwards we go.

Aye its me here , iv got yous down for a cup win a champions league spot and to cuff Celik three times this year. That ok for you ,Oh you need to promise not to swear n give all yer money to charity .

It's hard to believe how bad Wilkinson is.

Playing Celtic or rangers that would have been PK against us

Aye seems his sword is a bit blunt.

Happy to see Obika on the score card but judging by this forum hes missed a pretty bad sittier ? 😕 Nice to see Moult scoring today also as much as i was enjoying Dundee Utds downfall 👏

They shouldn’t be, but perhaps that’s what’s happened in recent years. Who signed Danzaki, for example?

Big Wilkinson moves like he has concrete boots on.

I have Harman each way at 100-1

Moult is gonna tear the Championship up this season.

In the UK it is. For the overseas subscribers like the Texan and me, it's a video stream.

I think whats most encouraging at the moment, is that there appears to be a plan and structure about the way we are going about our business, which sets it apart from the splatterdash signings under previous managers.

Exactly, but it can be a fine balancing act across a season to not over-expose the youngsters vs not ship goals due to certain pros being consistently and predictably guff.

Lamie, Mugabi shouldn't be played at the same time. Both have qualities to offer but both have cost points and will continue to do so. I'd let them move on and like you said start bringing in the likes of Campbell and others coming through the ranks. I'm far more tolerant of youngsters making mistakes than senior pro's who're simply unable to learn/stop the same thing happening.

He was yes

Hope Marshall was in goal again.

The said same trumpets clapping like seals when Hammell was appointed under similar sentimental claptrap almost led to the polar opposite of a fairytale ending. They would have McFadden back in the squad given the choice and as such are not to be encouraged

Spittal is shite.

Not gonna lie, I would absolute love to see McFadden pull a pair of boots on again for Motherwell haha
