Much to the dismay of most Luton fans. Campbell was key to a lot of their previous success, yet it looks like Edwards is changing up their style and formation for the Premier League, which will likely fail. I hope Campbell now finds the manager and game time he deserves.

0-3. New striker hat-trick.

It was me. Hands held up. He was excellent today.

Fair play to Paton, he completely changed the game and won it for us. I'll eat some humble pie now.

Kettlewell giving Bair a 2-year deal is really going to come back and bite him and us. The guy is, unfortunately, utter garbage at every aspect of the game. He has zero redeeming qualities or ability. It’s the most ridiculous decision imaginable to have offered a known dud anything longer than a short-term deal. Thank fuck for our midfielders being pretty decent because we have zero proven or fit strikers.

Transfer window closing.

Tick-tock.

I've said in the past that Daws appears to be useless. Couple that with Kettlewell’s lazy summer signings and we’re already in bother.

Wilkinson being out is no great loss. Perhaps a chance for Efford to stop himself from being sent out on loan.

And in other news, have your say on white shorts and the sash here: https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2023/08/25/focus-on-kit-24-25/

Yes. https://motherwelldirect.co.uk/collections/away-kit-odoo/products/23-24-home-away-shorts?variant=44433140646140

Probably, but I'm sure they'll be fine once they receive those tasty parachute payments.

He’d fire everyone on day one.

To be clear: 1. I do not favour a relegation reboot; that's not what I said. I implied relegation could give the Club the reboot it's seemingly required for a while now, however unwanted and damaging that may be. It would be disastrous in terms of being able to return to the Premiership and the employees, but perhaps our future economic model (all we hear is we're skint) suggests we would be no higher than the bottom of the Premiership or a consistent Championship-level team. It was an off-the-cuff remark because this is a football forum. The reset we need should arise as a consequence of having better strategic, long-term direction driven by a permanent CEO, and that's why I ended my late-night rant on the CEO issue. 2. I did not say Weir was unambitious or unintelligent; he's far from it. He's our interim CEO and is rightly tightening the purse strings this summer, yet we still need a permanent CEO with a long-term vision who is also ambitious and intelligent. Chopping and changing to plug short-term gaps and overpromoting from within may steady the ship for now, but it does no good for our long-term stability and Premiership survival, which is what we all want.

Oh, the irony. Your general behaviour on here is to constantly attack the individual's persona (e.g., calling them clueless or inane, and judging their views) from an apparent high and mighty yet cryptic in-the-know position rather than to constructively critique the individual’s post. It's exhausting, but well done getting the bites, again.

Pitches like those at Rugby Park and Almondvale have no place in elite-level football.

Perhaps inane and disagreeable, but not as inane as your constant cryptic patter. And Clueless is a great movie; Alicia Silverstone at her finest.

Derek Weir is interim CEO and the Club is still trying to recruit a permanent CEO. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2023/08/04/a-note-from-the-chairman-ahead-of-the-2023-24-season/

Enjoy the struggle.

The Club is and has been rudderless for quite some time. Flow was a breath of fresh air over the years, and that hard work papered over the many cracks, but he eventually left before the Club tainted him or he'd had enough, and now we're here. History is/could be repeating itself and will continue to do so. We either need a relegation reboot or an ambitious and intelligent CEO to turn us inside out and start afresh.

Let's hope young Spencer has the same impact as Penney and Furlong. As he's an RWB, I assume SOD is moving to LWB with Wilson/Soare as cover and McGinley will be offski. As Kettlewell said in his interview today, we can't afford to carry extra bodies anymore.

Obika and Paton were incredibly lazy singings by Kettlewell and it's already coming back to bite him on the arse.

With the much-discussed deficiencies of our current squad as well as our injury list, I think we’d be lucky to get anything better than a 0-0 shitfest out of this game vs a currently high-flying Killie.

I didn't say a ton of cash. I mean we have to sign some more players to fill the gaps and replace the crap. I note you said similar in the ins/out thread. We need more signings.

I disagree. Shields was hopeless before the boo boys started; hence, they started. The booing didn't make him any more shite than he already had proved to be at this level. However, I agree that the verbal abuse and constant booing of our crap players is pathetic behaviour.
