I was fortunate to watch one of the best Motherwell teams to win nothing" The Ancell Babes", and Bert McCann was one of that famous half back line Aitken Martis McCann, and in later years played golf with Bert. McCann, when the former players played at Wishaw. A really lovely articulate gentleman. RIP.

No use in getting lots of crosses into the box, when virtually everyone of them was either overhit or underhit. It was shocking the number of wasted opportunities, when nobody was wide at the back post, to pick up one of the crosses.

I'm in the opposite camp regards the hooped socks. I think there horrible, would rather have plain colour, otherwise the strips look OK.

I'm sorry, but the points that guy has lost us, could get us relegated. We can point the finger at the defence as well, but if your a defender and you know your keeper is not coming off his line for anything, even in the 6 yard box, you have to go for it, hence why we have individual errors being made, and we have a lot of scrambled goals against us. As someone else commented, the other goalkeepers must be rank rotten.

Question....Have we played the same eleven players twice? Seems to me we have never settled on the same team selection since the start of the season.

Goalscorers at any level, are at a premium. Nothing less than £2m or they can go and take a hike!

I thought for his first game Campbell was excellent.

The problem for me is, if we put up season ticket prices, as far as I can see, it will only make some people think twice about buying one, and once they decide to not buy, the chances of them coming back are pretty slim. So this just makes the problem worst. To survive the club have to either put up prices again or offer less salaries for players. It would be nice to think, that they could reduce prices by 5% and gain 10% more punters, but I won't hold my breath.

Lots of very good performances, but Scott McDonald by a mile.

Away up the pit!

I should have posted yesterday, because I thought it would be James McFadden, so I'm absolutely delighted that it is him. Sentiment has nothing to do with it, we all know he will put everything into the role to make it a success, because he has the club at heart. Congratulations to him, and every success in the role.

I agree with the point that too many changes can be a bad move. I would stick with our most recent 442 formation that worked. Gomis on the bench, Lasley back in midfield and replace Pearson (suspended) with McFadden.

Got to say I'm happy with the appointment of McGhee. We now have to all pull together and get this club safe in the Premier League.

John Hartson did that all his career and got away with it, why not skippy!

Listening to Craigan, I wouldn't be unhappy if he were to get the job. He came across extremely well in his interview

Billy Davies or George Burley?

What he needs to do is get back to playing football on the deck. Stop what has happened in the last two games, with the goalkeeper humping the ball upfield at every opportunity, in the hope that one of the forwards might just get it. The last home game was just turgid, not once did the goalkeeper roll out to feet and try and play from the back and through the midfield. It was murder to watch. And then they wonder why people don't come back to football. Even I (and I've supported MFC for 50 odd years) have second thoughts about attending if this kick and rush football continues.

The manager's probably going to play two goalkeeper's on a Saturday, to try and stop losing silly goals. One stays on the line and the other goes for cross balls. What a waste of money!

Only problem is, that's another new player trying to fit into the team. Hope it works out of course.

It's interesting to see how the home strip has polarised opinion. It's seems it's a case of you really like it or you really hate it. I hate it!

Well at least if you guys are right about the diagonal stripe, that saves me thinking about buying a strip this year. I won't be giving it house room.

Sorry, but I'm totally against a sash. As has been mentioned we had one before, and it was naff then and it will be naff now.. Let's keep with tradition and have an claret hoop on amber please.

The boy reminds me of McFadden when he broke into the team. Full of confidence in his ability, and willing to run at people. Defenders don't like that kind of attacker. He is one of the young guys that deserve, and should get, a run in the team. He's exciting to watch even although he makes mistakes, he's still willing to take on the opposition again and again. Hopefully Barraclough can see what a lot of posters on here can see, and give the boy a chance.

Name me a poorer team then please

The biggest problem is that we not had a settled team on the park since the start of the season. Can anybody tell me if we have had the same team on the park in consecutive games? How can you get any consistency when you can't even get a settled team on the park. My only hope is the new players settle in quickly and we get a settled team on the park for a few games.
