I'd be happy with Slivka. Matulevičius not so much.

Dylan Mackin?

The only way Keatings makes sense is if we're planning for a 2018/19 promotion push.

Oh aye definitely, I'm still a Robinson fan. Was just making a weird and badly made point that there are comparisons there if you want to seek them out.

Not that I necessarily agree but playing devil's advocate you could definitely draw some parallels. Scraping our way to safety,living off a few "iconic" results- 6-1/cup run- and high player turnover. I do think Robinson has much more about him than Baraclough though.

I'm weirdly not at all bothered by Murphy going to Rangers.

The basketball thing was probably a reference to something Hartley said a while ago. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.scotsman.com/sport/football/teams/motherwell/go-and-play-basketball-peter-hartley-tells-motherwell-critics-1-4619598/amp

No they weren't. We were 5th in the league, taking points off Rangers, Aberdeen and Celtic and in a cup final.

Carson Tait Kipre Hartley Dunne Bigi Campbell Cadden Tanner Frear New Striker SHOULD be enough to form the bones of a decent,comfortably top 8 team this year. Bigi and Frear can drop out for Rose or Grimshaw if we're in need of some more physicality. Tbh I'm increasingly convinced there are no good left backs anymore. The fact we've been trying to replace Hammell for 5 years to no avail makes me think Charles Dunne is the best we're going to get.

Sounds versatile.

Right now we're in a totally expected bad run of form. This has been compounded by injuries to all our key players and a busy and difficult schedule. If these sort of runs carry on once all those factors have been resolved then it goes from a blip to something clearly far more serious. I don't think I've been seriously wanting to see a Motherwell manager sacked since Malpas but if we're still losing every week despite having a fully fit and hopefully strengthened squad then I'll have a harder time defending Robinson.

Not even that. We drew with Celtic and beat Aberdeen in November. We've literally had one bad month.

It was a month yesterday that we drew with Celtic. Since then we've had a horrendous schedule, injuries to all our key players and also a few glaring mistakes from Robinson. But aye, sack the manager because we've had literally one bad month all season.

That's a bit OTT for Moult's farewell.

Loving the knock-off Shakin Stevens soundtrack to that

Aye it turns out transfermarkt isn't particularly reliable when it comes to stats. I miss Statto

Believe it or not we've actually got the best home record in the league in terms of points. Dundee have the worst away record.

Aye Alex Fisher is constantly pinging them in from 30 yards right enough.

What's the Plymouth connection? Am I missing something really obvious? please be Lionel please be Lionel please be Lionel

Stops him scoring against us I suppose.

I've came to the conclusion that Carl McHugh's powers come from concussion but wear off after ~ 6 months. All we need is him to take another head knock at Rugby Park and we'll have a cracking player by the start of next season.

You're most likely right. I'm probably imagining somebody completely different tbh

I always remembered him at Hibs as in the Josh Magennis/Ryan Bowman mould- hardworking, physical, bit of a nuisance but not particularly prolific. Looking at his stats though he seems to have turned into an absolute goal machine in England. When the fuck did that happen?

Jamie Murphy being linked to Ibrox.

Carson Tait Kipre Hartley Hammell Bigi Campbell McHugh Tanner Fisher Frear It's a tossup between Hammell and Dunne for me, but tbh the thought of Jordan Jones running at either of them gives me the fear. Bigi and Campbell should be two of a midfield three, not really bothered who accompanies them. Bowman isn't a lone striker. Fisher probably isn't either but it's worth a try.
