Wasn’t the “roll the wages into one” ideology where McCall went wrong? He didn’t have the youth to push through despite the calls for it on here. Push the youth into the first team is a recurring Motherwell anthem of discontent but really, who on here is truly certain that we have the young players to push through this season?

Whilst I agree that I’d like to see Bigi getting more game time, he was most certainly not one of the best midfielders in league 1. If he was, he wouldn’t have come to us.

I know I shouldn’t bite, but honestly, how old are you? Are you really this much of a moron or are you much brighter than your post suggest and just a troll ? The whole “we were by far the poorest team in the second half against Edinburgh” patter sums you up really. Shall we all just forget the 5 goals that were scored in the first half of that game? No getting away from today being a cause for frustration. We should’ve comfortably won. However, results like this in this tournament at this time of year are not at all unusual. I will not be shitting my pants just yet.

Did Robbo shag your missus or something???

Any team that has its keeper save 3 penalties in a shootout and still loses it doesn’t deserve to win.

One striker signed that you don’t rate and we’re gonna get pumped every game??? maybe a little bit of an overreaction

I honestly thought it was a wind up like the Cadden story when I clicked on my NewsNow...... Can’t say I’m inspired. I’ve never rated him but I hope the bloke is an unmitigated success because if he succeeds, we succeed.

It’s much nicer than ours.

Having often watched Tony Watt at Charlton, I would be concerned if we signed him. He was overweight throughout his time there and it’s fair to say that his work rate consistently fell well short of the required standard. Charlton fans are very much like Motherwell ones, they live in the shadow of giants and will forgive a lack of talent for sheer endeavour. Watt had the talent. However, he frustrated them immensely as he seemed to be able to turn it on or off and through lack of endeavour, he was mostly off. This, compounded by the rumours that he was a right big time Charlie in and around the dressing room making it no secret that he thought he was above playing in League 1, made it easy for them to say goodbye. He is capable of playing at Championship level but his record says otherwise. If he came to us, we’d be taking a punt and it’d be last chance saloon for him.

Roberto Martinez managing Swansea to league 1 champions, Wigan to a FA cup win and a Belgian World Cup semi final .... work in progress

Grabban and Jutkiewicz are much bigger and stronger than Moult. The Championship loves a big strong centre forward. I hope to god I’m wrong but I fear Louis may be one of those prolific League 1 strikers but not quite got that extra bit to be a regular championship 10+ a season striker. If he does go on loan from PNE, I hope he comes to Charlton as he’s exactly what Lee Bowyer needs in a striker.

This popped up on my FB the other day. We are the man with eggs; The old man is an egg seller, selling eggs to make ends meet. A lady approached him after not been able to sell not even single egg for the day. She asked him, ‘How much are you selling the eggs for?’ The old seller replied, ‘£1 per 10 egg, Madam.’ She said to him, ‘I will take 15 eggs for £1 or I will leave. The old seller replied, ‘Come take them at the price you want. May be, this is a good beginning because I have not been able to sell even a single egg today.’ She took the eggs and walked away feeling she has won. She got into her fancy car and went to a posh restaurant with her friend. There, she and her friend, ordered whatever they liked. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered. Then she went to pay the bill. The bill costed her £140. She gave £150 and asked the owner of the restaurant to keep the change. This incident might have seemed quite normal to the owner but, very painful to the poor egg seller.

LOL......A very positive outlook. Wes Fletcher was given the no9 because he was signed as the main striker. What he did with that shirt was down to him as indeed it will be down to Louis this season. Indeed, you only need to look to that season to see the difference between Fletcher and Moult.

To be fair, I don’t think he’s suggesting that he is.

Good to see Louis Moult being given the no9 shirt at PNE. Surely a vote of confidence and hopefully the beginning of a good season for him.

Now that is the kit we should’ve got

They are different but yeh, I think they’re maybe a variation on a theme. The home one might grow on me but the away collar is the waste of an otherwise very nice shirt

I would go with that, I only really put the names in for demonstration. Either way, even if nothing else happens with transfers, we would be well represented in this formation.

Just had a look at them on the official site and I like them even less. I really dislike the collar on the home but what’s going on with the collar on the away??? It looks like they’ve done one of those mock collars (like the old Scotland diadora number) but then decided that that wasn’t naff enough, so added a proper collar....that was too short. The result just looks wrong to me. It’s a shame because I like the stripe. The shorts on the away are bit ??? aswell.....they look like the hems hanging out. The claret striping on the home is cool but the embossed 1886 just looks tacky.

Away ok home bad the collar is ugly and I really wish we wouldn’t persevere with the ganting C&A top white shorts combo

I would laugh my tits off if Yodo’s predicted players and formation becomes a reality. The new signings are most likely replacements for those in the exit lounge. That said, with the squad we have have now, the fashionable 4231 would be interesting Carson Tait Kipre. Hartley. Taylor Sinclair Campbell Gorrin Cadden. Frear Tanner Main Took ages to space that out on the iPad and it still looks shit.......but you get the gist

You’re right, like so many before, there’s not enough for fans to know about him to get excited. I’m taking no notice of the show reels as they made Craig Clay look a prospect. That said, he’s obviously known to the management team and the squad. Hopefully, their judgment is sound. I too hope he makes an impression but only time will tell. I only hope people give him and those others who join us this summer the chance to be successful. One good thing though, given that he’s come through the ranks at Sunderland, he’ll be used to the shite weather.

So ..... you’re not happy with this signing then?

Not being pedantic, just being a curious exile....what did McEwan Fraser do to support the community ethos?

I tend to agree with LukeMFC1 but it’s never reassuring to see things like this. None the less, welcome to the club ATS. https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/your-clubs-worst-player-ever-voted-fans?page=0%2C7
