It's not Paton's fault that he's not an attacking midfielder; it's Kettlewell's fault for playing him as one. The blame for Paton getting a target on his back lies squarely at the manager's door. As should all squad failures.

Because he's got the tactical nous of a conservative cabbage, which was apparent for most of last season as well, so it's not an overreaction to be pissed off at a scenario repeating itself. Fortunately for him, however, he's got time and a player budget to try to build a better squad and develop a better shape with options, but if he signs another fucking wingback and holding midfielder instead of a striker and attacking midfielder, he'll be on his way out before the Club has a chance to extend his contract.

Ox. He saved a penalty.

Pathetic. Miller aside, that squad has zero creativity. Kettlewell needs to replace Spittal, stop relying on duds from last season, and stop being a one-trick pony in his tactical approach to games. As it stands, this squad and those tactics can’t even cut it against League 1 opposition.

Thoughts and prayers with Davor at this difficult time.

Feely is the Chair of the Well Society Board, so sits on the Executive Board in that capacity. He hasn't resigned so remains on both Boards. Dickie resigned from the Well Society Board, but, as far as I understand, he was only on the Executive Board to represent the interests of the Well Society Board, alongside Feely. Therefore, as he resigned, surely his position on the Executive Board is untenable, unless he was an Executive Board member first and Well Society Board member second. Someone else might be able to shed some light on this. McMahon will be resigning as Chairman, which will end his membership of the Board. Notwithstanding, today's statement from the Well Society indicates that they are looking to reset the relationship (and I assume clarify roles and responsibilities) between the two Boards. They state: "...now is the time for a significant reset in the relationship between the Club Board, the Well Society Board, Society members, and the Motherwell fanbase as a whole..."

As promised, I've just doubled my monthly Direct Debit to the Well Society and have encouraged others to finally join. I hope other members now follow suit.

Excellent news. That leaves McMahon, Dickie and Feely to be picked off next.

Marvellous.

Once CONCACAF or CONMEBOL, or whoever it is, has paid out compensation after their piss-up in a brewery last night, they won't have a pot to piss in, let alone cash to pay clubs.

Stuparevic is probably lined up to play as a 10.

Robinson looks the most likely to perform as a proper number 9, whereas Moses is probably more of a penalty box finisher, time will tell with Stuparevic, and I assume Ferrie will go out on loan. Therefore, I’d like to see us sign another big athlete like Bair, who can batter through the middle of defensive lines.

I’m relatively happy with the attackers signed so far, but, if Bair is sold, the Club needs to invest some of the fee received on a proper replacement with sell on potential, and not another project. We got lucky with Bair, so kudos for that, but it’s rare it’ll happen twice in a row.

Sensational. I can only assume you’re a landlord.

According to the scum: Auxerre have made an offer of around 1.5million Euros, which equates to just over £1.26million.

To be fair, most of us have held our hands up, but SK still talks a lot of shite.

We really need to sign a replacement for Spittal. Preferably someone who isn't made of cardboard or is Paton. The one man up top routine doesn't work without that piece of the puzzle. Halliday is still guff. You can see he has a good footballing brain and wants to make things happen, but his body isn't keeping up with his thoughts anymore. A benchwarmer at best now. Impressed by Wells today. Let's hope he gets more minutes and makes us another few million in a couple of years.

Balmer over the full 90, but it was nice to see Wells provide a little bit of spark at times.

Campbell to leave Luton this window.

Spittal was our most important player last season. Not properly replacing him, yet, is a concern.

Careful now, someone might start quoting the scriptures at you.

McCoist is a prick.

Maybe Eric Barmack is the man for the job. I'm sure he'd pitch a good AI-generated script to the SFA.
