Its 9 games in, 29 to go and 87 points on offer ffs, technically every one of the 12 teams can potentially win the league. So its time we all relaxed and dropped the manager must go, we are getting relegated chat, and lets see where we are in 10 games time at the halfway point.

Is this you hinting that you are on a cruise holiday? Any more crap jokes and it will be a cruise missile holiday.😂

On the other hand , if it wasnt for Paulsen, we would have taken points from Rangers, Killie and Dundee.

EKOK

Almost!! 🤣🤣🤣, ahhh not sane kind of exile as texan or steelmaninoz

The VAR and AVAR are never required to justify their decision-making in the context of the rules. And when they do, it’s through Collum, who’ll twist and turn things to protect his idiots. There’s zero accountability, no incentive to reflect on their decisions or learn from their mistakes, and therefore no prospect of any improvement.

Is East Kilbride overseas 🤔

Apologies… I meant Sunday

I dont hate it. But think we are a bit lopsided unless we are playing without width and relying on the full backs to get forward. Lowry has to play central to dictate play and pick passes. Your general points have merit though.

ma tits are bigger 🤣

Think he meant Sunday cos thats the day of the 49 mph winds.

The result is far more important than the performance, we need 3 points to stop the rot, so i'll take a scrappy Controverdial Var assisted goal in the 94th min if it means we win.

I will take a scrappy win but some folk will say you don't have a scooby! 🤪🤪

No you could not. None of us could . I think this is where the majority of my arguments stem from . We completely underestimate as fans how difficult it is to be a football manager, particularly with a team like Motherwell where expectations are high and the budget in relative terms is low. Let's just look at one single variable from last season. The players that AJ has had available to him. Away Ward, Welsh, Slattery, Just, Watt, In other words, the top performing players last season..That is 5 players for a start. Injured McGinn, Koutrombous, Priestman, SOD. Mainstays in last year's team That is 9 players so far. Then we have our friend Maswanhise who has hardly kicked a ball since February.. Remember he was not performing well under JBA either towards the end. Then there is Fadinger who has not been allowed to play in the same way as last season because he does not have the players around him to do so. The names mentioned bring you close Motherwell's best starting 11 last season Longelo and Said apart. This is one single factor of many that Alfred has to manage. To say play SOD at right back and play central defenders in central defence and all will be fixed is simplistic in the extreme. The manager is suffering a perfect storm just now. An inflated expectation of where Motherwell should be in the food chain, players that think they are better than they are because of reasonably brief purple patches last season, significant injuries and on and on and on.......... Look at Dundee..The Dundee fans wanted Presley out this time last season. Look where they are now. We have to be capable of looking beyond the very small timescale of a one month window. I hope the Board have a little more patience than the supports.
