Just home and not entirely sure what to make of that, so I’ll stick to the positives and negatives. Positives Watt and Fadinger look like tidy additions to the midfield. Connelly looked fairly comfortable on his first start — barely tested, but not at fault for their goal. Manny could be moulded into a diamond with time. Just is a tricky wee player who I reckon will be useful in certain games. Slattery’s cross for the goal. Negatives The defence. Again. Jesus Christ. Wilson — what on earth has happened to him? I’m not sure how Sparrow fits into this team now. Stama is either crap or not being used to his strengths. The rain.

A bucket of sand is the recommended approach, not a face.

We don’t know that he’s not making it a priority. He’s said himself the window’s open for almost two more months and that we should expect more movement.

The exciting, progressive football is definitely a positive. But with that defence and keeper, the only way we’re winning games is by scoring 3 or 4, because they’re always good for conceding at least 1 or 2 soft goals.

After that shambles in the plastic Sahara yesterday, anything short of a proper win on real grass won’t cut it.

Forget what I said before. Today made it very clear this team is missing a spine. We need a GK, CH, CM, and CF. All of them starters.

Same shite (defensively), different season. That aside, it was good to see what some of the new guys brought to the table.

Said has arrived.

He does get credit. He won the Players’ Player of the Year award last season.

My point was made in acknowledgement of Miller being replaced, so that’s another signing. I also concede that another centre-forward would be nice, and perhaps a centre-half at a push, but anything more will bloat the squad.

The people of Firhill require socks. He’ll do well there.

Because he’s a midfielder.

My opinion leaves scope for another striker, which I agree we need. Balmer and SOD are going nowhere, unfortunately.

I’ll be content if we don’t sign the extra 2–4 players some are now calling for. The same people complaining about a bloated squad in past seasons are now demanding three players per position.

If we’re making any further signings, it won’t be a right-back. It’ll be an established player to replace Miller.

No. Clyde separates Motherwell and Hamilton.

Manny’s here!

Paying a fee for an established winger is an encouraging sign that we’ve moved on from the throw-enough-shite-at-the-wall approach.

Longelo looks like a genuine left-back rather than a wing-back, which, if we sign him, strongly suggests we’re sticking with a traditional back four this season. Hurrah. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/emmanuel-longelo/profil/spieler/504386

We’re playing Carlisle behind closed doors.

Hat-trick for Sule.

Seems like a decent bit of business, especially if he can replicate Biereth’s loan impact.

Adidas kits generally look class.

There are rules and laws in place for good reason. Then there are self-important pricks who go beyond them, make it up as they go, and get it wrong through sheer incompetence.
