So much to say when we lose yet so little when we win.

Ah Yodo welcome back, that your weekend made.

Dreadful

It would be nice to see a decent home crowd tomorrow, the weather also looks half decent.

I’m absolutely sure it won’t be a walk over and will be tough, they just about all are in the top flight. I think thought if we go into this with a positive attitude we have nothing to fear. As before outside the top two I don’t believe there is a team with any real quality in the league.

Again nothing to fear here. I feel we may see a positive performance and a 2-0 to Motherwell.

You just have to ask why a player with his abilities is playing at that level ?

Yep, I’m just being rather mischievous.

It’s a free transfer.

Turnbull, still believe he’s off to Celtic pretty sharpish when fit.

Would he turn down say Sunderland ? that would be a hell of a call.

Big increase in wages and higher profile would be a pull. Both Alex Neil and Ross got big clubs after doing less than Robinson has in my view. Don’t see compo been an issue for any decent sized club down south. Look at the hike in wages Neilson received moving from one of the biggest clubs in Scotland to the massive MK Dons.

I think interest is inevitable, Hamilton and St Mirren only two of late that have lost their managers to clubs down south. If we finish top four he will be gone in the summer which I think would be a huge loss to the club.

I thought the best of the summer signings, Polworth is now however giving him a run for his money, well done to him.

I think at one point last season he was lucky to keep his place in the team. However he’s certainly upped his game now.

I agree

Really Hearts, Hibs, and Aberdeen are a level above the rest with their budgets. They are just making a mess with what’s available. Hearts must have a playing budget five times ours.

The positive is that when Turnbull does go which is inevitable we are now well covered. big cheque in the bank with no replacement needed. Obviously Turnbull would be a loss to any team but we look like we can hold our own without him. Problem would be Robinson going and taking half the team with him.

I’m guessing another one of those “ my mates girlfriends mums gardener told her “ moments. Goes alongside the likes of “ such and such a player can’t stand him” just before they sign a new contract. come on are we not past nonsense like this.

It’s certainly been an interesting start to the season. The new signings were initially heaped with praise, which then turned in its head to the majority of them described as terrible, then back to optimism again. Donnelly looked to be this seasons fall guy “ is he even a footballer” stands out. Robinson has again gone from having question marks against him to the fear we may lose home to a bigger club. Looking at it as it stands at this point we’ve actually had a good summer, Gallagher is a top player, Polworth just gets better and better, we’ve actually signed a more than decent left back In Carroll , Cole, Seedorf, and Hylton are all finding their feet and improving. Donnelly is quickly turning into one of the better midfielders in the division and my god he’s a goal scorer. If we could hold on to a fit again Turnbull we could finish top four in my opinion, still seen nothing to be frightened of outside the top two. I just wish one or two posters were more patient. Robinson has had to more or less build a new team and it takes time for some players to adjust. There will always be ups and downs with a team like Motherwell with such a restricted budget.

We were terrible against them at home last season, surely we will see an improvement Saturday.

I’m VERY confident.

Big city club and three times the wages ?

He’s building a reputation as one of the better managers up here so it’s inevitable there is going to be interest. Stats given for points gained by each premiership club from last October until now show Motherwell in 4th place behind only Celtic, Rangers, and Aberdeen, that’s pretty impressive given the budgets of many clubs next to Motherwell. I don’t see him as one of the favourites for either Hearts or Hibs but would anyone be hugely surprised if he ended up at one of the Edinburgh clubs ? Hopefully he stays a good while longer because I worry who we may replace him with.

I think he’s turned out to be the real surprise of this season, when I first saw this strong, athletic, positive player I thought maybe it was not the same players given pelters before he even played a game on the back of very poor feedback from supporters of his previous club. Gallagher was always going to e a good signing and Polworth just continues to improve. But Carroll could actually end up being a real find and we may end up struggling to hold on to him.
