Ive seen it in a work context - start putting the screws on someone - initiate disciplinary procedures ie an investigation. Difficult questions get asked and the problem person gets so hacked off they just want out!

From what Robinson is saying it looks like unless there is movement (moult or bowman) then we are just looking at a defender. Note he's stopped talking about this pacy striker. Does that mean that the new u21 guy is actually the "pacy striker"?

What should I go to to hear commentary? Mixr or something?

I am a fan of frear but have noticed that he never ever cuts inside and has a go. He does two things - outside run and cross or stop and pass back. In other words he would be easy to mark if the right back does their homework. Maybe it's a confidence thing? To me he likes he's got all the necessary skills to do the job. If we've spotted it I'm sure Robinson will have too!

Tuton scored a fantastic goal in Stirling and his touch was excellent against Livingstone but he didn't get much of an opportunity. On what I've seen he looked like a talented player and more tidy than fisher - who will hopefully get better as he settles in. However the complete lack of mention after any of the games from Robinson and this repeated chat of a pacy striker suggests that Tuton has gone. I would be excited if he was still in the frame though.

Yeah Bois went home. Sang about Tait then got bored. Bought a burger, realised they had no more money and went home!

Louis will leave this window. My concern is McHugh - I want him signed on going forwards - he bossed the second half today - is committed and is a real captain. Also was confused why Sean Toutan's trial went largely unnoticed - amazing goal, superb touches - made fisher look like a few levels below. What happened?

I think clay must be working out that the writing is on the wall. He played no minutes last night. McHugh, bigi, Campbell, McLean and Gordon - all ahead of him! And yes Mcleans number one position is in the middle - McGhee played him out wide purely because he has pace. McLean and Campbell were a great pairing at u20 level and both look like the believe they can play first team level.

Very positive tonight. I hate to say it but to me Tuton looks far more confident and composed than Fisher who missed an easy chance. My guess is that Tuton may not fit within our budget unless someone is moved on fast. Can we afford to have him alongside fisher, bowman, moult and the great Jacob?

Carl mchugh did not come to Motherwell to play CB.

I can't believe I'm saying this......I would rather have joe charmers playing than zac attack! If Hammel can't play we don't have many options as u20s also have injuries and although Adam livingstone is good at u20 level it would be a huge step up. I have a sinking feeling it will be more of the 3 at the back nonsense!

Just a quick update, not that it will make much difference but Jacob Blyth (glass man) hobbled off on crutches at the u20s game tonight, looks like his season is over. I guess it changes the shape of our bench and leaves us light on striking cover should moults injury play up.

If Tait is fit for the next game and Robinson sticks with the same formation - what happens? Tait on bench? Cadden in same role? I note positive comments about lasley above - but could cadden do a job in the middle alongside Campbell this allowing Tait to play the wing back role? Perhaps too inexperienced a midfield pairing? EDIT: With apologies to regular thread starter Yabba's Turd for stealing his thunder, with much to consider this seems like a good post to kick off a Dundee game thread...

What's the story with lee Lucas? Is he injured again? He's not featuring on the bench and I'm guessing that Shea Gordon hasn't completely leap frogged him? Is Tait fit for tonight? I'm guessing mcHugh will be CB again as I assume we can't trust Zak attack and Big Ben to pair up again?

The word at signing zone is that Tait had an operation on Saturday and they are aiming to get him back ASAP and McManus is definitely out for the rest of the season. My fear is that they will stick with "Zac attack" alongside Heneghan. If McHugh does go back to midfield then I have to say Pearo needs to go on the bench - Clay was way more involved than him at the weekend.
