If we had a Neymar, Ronaldo or Messi in the team then yes develop a team round their individual abilities, but in the real world sometimes the way a player plays is not what the team needs, so Cadden may have to alter his natural game to suit the team as a whole.

Not for me would rather play ICT Our record up there is good and they are not having the best season, but that said Dundee will probably get through, either way both are very winnable ties.

Could have been better IE a home tie against Brora but Dundee and ICT are murder so nothing to fear from either of them.

You have been told before stop feeding the troll.

Heard a comment after the game today that Bowman allegedly had the rattle out of the pram and left the ground when he heard he was not in the squad, " grabbed his boots and left" was the phrase used. So his days may indeed be numbered.

They were probably trying to livestream the game somewhere, probably weeyin or some of the other offshore well fans that put them up to it.

A great team performance today but there were 2 stand outs for me Tanner and Campbell both never stopped great tackles and ran the show in midfield. Difficult choice but went for Tanner as he scored the penalty.

Agreed and both at important points in the game, but apart from those two he had nothing else to do, Accies were utter crap

He came on about 70 mins no idea how he played though.

No so there will be no trolling tonight, jog on nothing to see here

They are a feckin horrible team to watch going down at every contact, always in the refs face, and trying to break the game up at every opportunity, and more than their fair share of obnoxious wee fuds like Imrie and McKinnon.

Slipping down the league's maybe he is finding his level.

The stats you get orgasmic about are meaningless pish, who cares if Docherty had 3 goals and 6 assists in 1,867 mins of football FFS get a life. That could be a blinding 1st 45 mins then another 1,822 mins of his usual dross.

5 posts in and already talking utter pish you have a bright future stick at it and steelboy will have a challenger for the forum troll title, impressive stuff

Yes

So lots of criticism and negativity when we are on a bad run and stoney silence during the good times, and you don't get of on it...ok then whatever.

You really need to get out more, who really gives a feck about stats like that.

Not believing that percentage figure I will wait for ya bezzer to post a full page breakdown listing all the stats and info on possible responses from forum members then we will get the real numbers.

Why would we enquire about him ? he is 20 years old and since he left for Brighton he has only made a couple of appearances for their U 23 team in the 18 months since he left, no goals either. He may turn out to be a good player but there is not much evidence to support that, would he get into our current 1st team, no chance, so why would we want him back ?

I hope we can do better than him, he has contributed feck all at nearly every club he has been at, so i hope the club stays well away from him. Let saint Brendan worry about getting rid of him.

Why would he go down in your estimations, so he's been a Rangers fan all his days, nothing wrong with that, and while he would probably rather still be at Brighton playing in the premiership he will no doubt be proud to run out at Ibrox. He is a good player and I hope he does well unless of course he is up against us.

Not sure if that was the PNE 1st choice team at Wycombe today, but if Moult was fit I reckon he would have played

How much do you get for a ginger bottle these days ? they might need a lot according to BBC gossip page it's £1 million up front plus at least the same again in add ons will be surprised if they have the cash.

Good post Dave, if we are determined to make the fan ownership model work then the club needs to get itself on a stable footing, IE clearing it's debts to Les Hutchinson, John Boyle etc. This means bringing in a much cash as we can, traditional revenue streams IE advertising, TV money, merchandise etc tend to be pretty much the same each year, so we need to be creative and that means transfer cash. Only this season the club made in excess of £1.2 million with the Johnson and Heneghan deals, plus another £500k for moult, so £1.7 million, in total a few of those deals each year and we will be debt free in no time. Then the club can start to build and develop the homegrown talent, we will still need to buy players, every club has to but a few more players like Cadden, Campbell, stepping up and becoming 1st team regulars will serve us well.

So what exactly should Motherwell football club be, in your perfect world we would develop our own players from a young age, they would all make the grade and we would be playing silky soccer at all times and doing well, the crowds would be fantastic lots of revenue streams so we would not need the transfer cash. Meanwhile back in the real world, very few of the young players we have will make the step up, crowds are down therefore revenue is down so we need to wheel and deal in the transfer market to generate some much needed income that will be used to buy players to make up for the lack of homegrown talent. This is Motherwell in 2018, this is how we operate, and so far this season we had a great start and a trio to a major cup final so we are not doing too bad, granted we are on a feckin poor run currently but that will end and we will push on for a top 6 finish.
