It’s pretty clear that Stama is made of tissue paper, so it’s time to cut our losses at the end of the season and find someone else willing to pay his wages.

Sadly he’ll probably play second fiddle to Patterson (playing that poor that he’s been told to get his act together by Moye’s)and Ralston (most Celtic fans even think he’s a liability) as Clarke’s an idiot.
Patterson isn’t in the squad, but I agree that Ralston will probably be picked ahead of of Max because Steve Clarke…

I’m assuming that you’re talking about Scottish players as we have a couple of foreign internationalists playing for us at the moment.
Yes, I am referring to full Scottish international players. It's also great to have some foreign international players in the Motherwell squad, but I think it's more enjoyable to follow when you've got players turning out for the national team of your own country.

He’s just been called up to the Scotland squad. For an 18yr old to be picked by Steve Clarke for the national squad, that is incredible.
well deserved and I hope he gets to show people what he can do at that level.
If Clarke gives him minutes and he impresses, and he continues to flourish for Motherwell this season, I see no reason why we can't expect his value to creep towards £10m in this market. The only downside for us is that, if he's sold at the end of this season, he'll no longer be our player when he's (likely) called up again for the international friendlies in June. So, let's hope he gets those minutes against Greece, as I can't see any other Motherwell player on the horizon likely to get full international minutes anytime soon.

£5m cash and a new main stand should seal the deal.

A big concern for us should be the potential for Robbo to set St Mirren up to kick lumps out of us and cause some bad injuries. We need to be smart going into this game.

3-1.
Casey to score a perfect hat-trick.

What a difference it makes not having an incompetent over-promoted ballon as manager.
Yesterday was sensational and, without diminishing the excellent effort of the players, it was solely down to having a manager with sound tactical ability.

Sensational. Wimmer has the ‘Well playing actual football. Win, lose, or draw today, that first half was brilliant to watch.

O’Donnel injured ?
No new injury concerns according to pre-match update.
https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2025/02/28/rangers-a-short-trip-to-govan/
He’s either been dropped, injured in the warm up, or out for personal reasons. Or any other guesses?
-
I think I’ve probably said this before here, but Arteta is a prick. That’s why Mika is now with Monaco.
-
I wonder what Herr Wimmer will think of all this pomp and ceremony today.
Is the stage set for March 1941 all over again in Govan? Or will Staunch FC prevail over FC Wimmerwell this time?

I can see a few Motherwell players massively raising their game for this fixture. Add to that the new manager bounce and the opposition being led by the Staunch Bros, I have the feeling we’re in for a good game.

Looking at the bottom half of the league table, as well as considering recent form and events, this game could not be any more of a six pointer. Anything less than a victory will only worsen the death spiral.
Six pointer ✅

Dundee have concede 20 goals in their last 5 matches.
Motherwell 0 then.....
Dundee have scored 39 and conceded 58 so far this season.
We’ve scored 30 and conceded 46.
They may have scored more than us, but we’ve conceded less, and our goal difference is slightly better.
It’s certainly going to be a tight game with both teams likely to score.

Hopefully the bring a friend for £3 adds numbers as well.
Im certainly bringing someone along so hopefully others will do the same.
Even if we just get 200 - 300 more it will help.
Thats less than 10% of ST holders need to bring someone. Hopefully thats achievable.
Aye. I know that me and a few other ST pals are using the £3 offer to bring other non-ST pals. It should be a decent crowd.

Yeah, many think it was a good signing however watched highlights of the game on Saturday against County and he was rotten, he for me isn't the kind of players we need to be signing. We need younger players who we can potentially sell on for money. McGhee is ok if we aren't going to be carrying SOD, McGinn etc....
McGhee was a Kettlewell signing, but we have to hope that Wimmer can get a tune out of him and several other new players next season. The Kettlewell hangover will remain for 18+ months, but note that I’m not directing that at McGhee, as he could be an excellent versatile player for us.

Hopefully a decent crowd tonight for a midweek game.
I’m a ST holder but rarely make it to midweek games due to work/family/etc., but I’m not missing this one. I’m thoroughly looking forward to supporting Wimmer and the team tonight.

I feel we say this every season now, season on season in September we think we have a strong team, then by March we are desperate to get to end of season maintaining our league status and clearing out the diddies.
My take on it, we either punt Daws and let MW and AK solely do the recruitment in summer this season using there knowledge of European football. Kettlewell was working with a very tight budget and in September I did think we have a decent squad but as season has progressed and injuries ramped up we have ended up with guys who evidently aren't good enough to play premier league football and because squad is so big we are also not seeing guys who have came to us as hot prospects (Dickson and Andrews to name but 2). Lewis Grabban instantly comes to mind when I think of they two....
Daws should've been gone alongside Alexander. A whole topic was started at that time.
And here is my tuppence worth from back then.
On 1/10/2023 at 2:04 PM, wellfan said:Daws was brought in to support Alexander's philosophy, so he should now be moved on as well. As others have stated, we need a new Head of Recruitment who supports the Club's philosophy, which every manager should align with, including Hammell. It should not be the other way around.

Our injury list is almost laughable. The sooner this season is over, and the clear out taken place, the better.

As I said previously, it’ll take at least 18 months for Wimmer to undo the damage Kettlewell has done.
The only positive from yesterday is that Wimmer got to see some of that shite with his own eyes.

A lot of users of this forum are more interested in criticising the poster rather than engaging with the substance of the posts. We can all be guilty of it at times, but feck me, it’s exhausting.

I’d be more sympathetic if it was his ankle, but he plays football not handball, so I’ve no idea why he won’t be fit to play for at least 8 weeks.
Even with a proper run, as you suggest, there are no signs so far to suggest that he wouldn’t continually breakdown during that either.
His run of no less than 3 not insignificant injuries since arriving is very bad luck indeed, but also indicative of someone who’s perhaps not robust enough for his role.
