Jesus we have some amount of bed sh1tters in our fan base. We are 5 games into a season with a new manager, playing the best football Ive seen Motherwell play in 50yrs. We are sitting 6th but I think everyone knows with a little bit of fortune we would be sitting 3rd. I think folk should take a chill pill and calm down. Our manager also talks sense and it’s never word soup and I have every faith we’ll be in a Hampden semi final by this time next week.

I don't think that the main issue; in any event its academic. Whats more relevant is the manner of those draws. In probably 4 of those games we've been the better team, should have won but yet failed to win any of them. That and the fact that we've drawn 3 games on the trot having taken the lead. Today we had 16 shots at goal compared to Dundee's 7. However they managed 4 on target, the same as us. Thats been a feature in more than one of our games. The words "frustration" and "concern", but not "panic", sum up the thoughts of a few, including me.

Agree. We are unbeaten though. I like your positivity. I actually think we could beat Celtic as they pretty toothless up front. Or draw.

Just been drinking in some of these mental comments 🤣 things are fine, I don’t get the whole worked up-ness about playing entertaining football. Well come good.

As usual, I agree with most of what you say. However we also have Hendry and Osong. I know almost nothing about Hendry but his record suggests he's not a prolific scorer. Osong - too early to assess him, although someone did suggest he's more of a facilitator or "foil" in archaic language. I agree 100% about Stama. Michael Wimmer opined before he left that we need to boost our firepower up front and he & Nick Daws, presumably, were working on that element of recruitment. However that seems to have been derailed after his departure and the business we did during the window seemed somewhat disjointed and haphazard. As for the defence, perhaps due to circumstances it was neglected somewhat during the window. We had bad luck with McGhee's injuries and Longelo, whilst a good signing, looks to have defensive frailties. I did like Gordon when he first joined us but now I'm not so sure. Can we work on the defence to give it more solidity? Time will tell, but again I'm not 100% convinced. Either way, I can see us having a very busy January woindow.
