Our medical fitness director is ready to examine and test any potential new arrivals

The Squad is a joke. Kettlewell fucked it.

"Everton test will prepare us for Rangers Hampden clash, says Motherwell boss" Correct.

I‘m not a fan of bringing back ex players but I would take Tony Watt back right now if we had the chance as he instantly improves that forward line of ours. I get why there is a bit of bad feeling towards him for the way he left but the club weren’t blameless in that episode either.

Callaghan should never have been signed in the first place,he's a run of the mill spl player with a history of injury problems and yet here we are already where he's injured.

Not sure I would want him back but this version of why Watt left is closer to what I heard. Might not fit the preferred line though. My understanding. Following discussions with Burrows terms had been agreed but paperwork not completed. Watt intended staying and was happy to do so. Hence his little show when he stood up on the terracing wall. Then Alexander decided he did not want him around, not for footballing reasons but to do with his influence amongst the players. And Watt was not the only one to challenge Alexander in front of the squad. Burrows backed Alexander and Watt was on his way. A classic clash of personalities. Perhaps explains (but does not excuse) his OTT reaction at Tannadice. Totally different from Gallagher. He was just a rat who feigned injury to avoid an automatic extension kicking in. Player quote 'Don't think you will see Dec again until he gets his contract sorted'.

Let me see your war face

Sean Batty to explain it.

Well I suppose we know what not to do. Now we just have to work out what to do.

If you offer a decent signing on fee.....you might be in with a shout !

Ouch. Well I did think we’d get stuck in toffee

That is succinct and to the point 😆

When he got the offer from Dundee United he told the club he would down tools if they didn't let him move. It was just money.

I agree. But if you are the manager and want to play a certain way, you should identify and sign players that fit with that philosophy. Its an entirely different situation SK finds himself from when he got the job and had someone elses players. I think this is one of the valid criticisms of him as a manager so far, in that he has signed the players. He should be committing to a tactical set up that maximises the sum of the parts. Once he has all HIS players fit and available for selection he should be judged at that point.

Stamatelopoulos to score a Louis Moult-esque last minute screamer of a winner past Liam Kelly who gets the nod after Jack Butland trips coming off the team bus and injures himself. That’s how my dream went last night anyway. seriously though, if we are to beat rangers back to back in the league - an away game for both teams is probably the best time to do it.

Is there a doctor in the house?

We've had many a let downs against them but there is no reason we can't, under Kettlewell we have for the most part been very competitive in games against the arse cheek's add that to the fact that they're there for the taking. Not going to get to carried away as it's still Motherwell we're talking about obviously.

There are at least 6 in my street alone

It’s when you add the cost of taking your kid, getting a hotdog, pie etc. it’s a lot of money in this current climate. you wouldn’t mind so much if the product was good but it’s not. The standard of every side has deteriorated so much in the past 10-20yrs.

£33 for a ticket FFS. I heard Killie paid £36 at parkhead as well at the weekend. £26 for accies v Ayr as well. Scottish football is ruined.

I agree this time with you steelboy. Nicholson actually said himself on one of the after match videos last season when asked if he could replicate his super goal he said words along lines of Well maybe if I still had 2 working knees ankles and hips. I was shocked at the time.

I can’t contain my excitement for another 37 games just like that one. Total football….breathtaking stuff. i think it’s safe to say us and county will be in the relegation mix this season.

Our heatmap from the weekend kinda tells a story. Hmmm, what could be missing?

So Nicholson is a chancer now , a self proclaimed gone wrong, who no doubt conned the doctors, physios, coaching staff etc to gain a contract. And you were shocked at the time, aye OK then ffs what a load of shite 🤦‍♂️
