A goalkeeper should command their box and deal with threats before going for the ball, either by clearing them out or being more aware. With the protection they get, there is no excuse. Foul or not on Ward, he has to be stronger in those situations. Maybe he just is not capable of it. And he has butterfingers.

That’s fine, but strikers are there to score.

Total crap! https://x.com/SteelmenNews/status/1962117073930269122

Hendry deserves his chance to lead the line once he’s fully up to speed with the manager’s system.

Not my man of the match, but I thought Said played well yesterday. There’s definitely more to come from him as he gets sharper with more game time.

A new GK, CB and CF would do nicely.

I’m sure JBA is as frustrated as the rest of us. His side is playing some great football and dominating games, but keeps being let down by a weak first choice striker and an even weaker keeper. You could add a shaky central defence to that list too. It is now on him to sort out both ends of the pitch and I see no reason why he won’t or can’t.

With a proper striker and a better keeper, we’d have won those first four league games. Time to get the chequebook out.

Great game again, but Ward chucking it again and our number 9 not scoring goals again is killing us.

Calum Ward please.

Scott Burns is reporting that Balmer could be set for a move to Kolding in Denmark.

At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what kind of welcome our fans give Kettlewell today. He’s a narcissist who will spin his own narrative, and the press will lap it up regardless.

Good luck to Ewan. With the right system and carefully managed minutes, he should do really well at Raith. What it means for his long-term future as a Motherwell player, though, I’m not sure.

For me, it’s simple. I enjoy seeing Celtic and Rangers humbled while hoping the rest of the Scottish teams do well in Europe. You can think that way without caring too much about the coefficient. I also don’t want Celtic and Rangers getting richer than they already are, and their fans are pricks.

All some fans have done is turn on him as quick as he turned on us, except we ain’t the liars who whored ourselves out to the Sun newspaper. He lied to try to deflect from his own failings. I’m not saying he deserves verbal abuse on Saturday, but he does deserve all the criticism and heat that’s coming his way.

An excellent signing!

And here I thought a home crowd creating an intimidating atmosphere for the visitors was a positive.

He deserves every bit of criticism he may get for being dishonest and disrespectful. If it happens on Saturday, it will not make Motherwell fans look bad but show us standing up for ourselves. And if he thinks that justifies his previous opinions and lies, then so be it. He is a twat.

Kettlewell spends five minutes explaining why it’s definitely not about him. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cvgnyjg2vzdo

Money.

A centre-half next please.

Yeah, that’s a good point. Maybe McGhee, though I’m not sure he’s match ready yet.

It’s clear that JBA has had to build the squad as though Robinson, Nicholson, and Stuparevic don’t exist. Once they’re fit, it makes perfect sense to send them out on loan to regain match sharpness, as they won’t be walking straight into JBA’s team as things stand.

As solid as our two veterans have been in the middle, I can’t see them both keeping this up all season, so I’d expect Gordon to be back in before long.

Charles-Cook could be a really good signing. JBA is steadily building the squad with more attacking players, and I like that. Central defender and midfielder next?
