My team v Aberdeen would be Ward Sparrow Mcginn Welsh Longelo Fadinger Watt Just Slattery Maswanhise Hendry If SOD is fit him at RB instead of Sparrow.

The whole team was awful yesterday Ward - Should of saved the 3rd goal Koutrombis - Absolutley horrendous, the fact a proffesional footballer can't open their body up properly when receving the ball was particulary infuriating. Gordon - Awful Mcginn - Poor but made a couple of important tackles and blocks. Longelo - Worst game in a motherwell shirt Watt - Fadinger - Both poor compared to how they've played this season and were physically bullied of O'Hara and Phillips Mawanhise - Poor, wasted 2 big chances Just - Probably our brightest spark and at least tried to make things happen Said - Couple of nice dribbles but no end product Stam - Was decent tbf held the ball in well against Gogic and got us up the pitch Subs Welsh, Sparrow, Hendry all made postive impacts when they came on Welsh and Sparrow and Slattery all should of started. RCC - Was pretty anonymous when he came on. That game has to be used as a learning curve for Jens when we play St Mirren next we should let them win the first ball when they go long and just drop and pick up 2nds.

You'd think with him being at Celtic as long as he has been he'll be better on the ball than Gordon.

Sun saying we're close to signing Welsh on loan from Celtic.

If we want a Gk Darren Randolph is a Free Agent get him back in between the sticks.

Watt to me is the most important player in the system we are playing. The minute he went off our patterns on that left side fell apart.

Also on another note that's 2 weeks in a row JBA has made subs that swung the momentum of the game. For me subs should of been Johnny K for SOD, Said for Cook and Stam for Hendry why he took Watt and Maswanhise off is an absolute mystery.

We need 2 maybe 3 more signings - CB, (LB on loan) as cover and an attacking midfielder if Slattery is injured.

As i said after the Rangers game get Oxborough back in goals that's 6 points Ward's cost us this season. On a more positive note Watt, Fadinger, Longelo, and Just all look to have been good signings so far.

purley on the goals we have conceded he saves the header in the Rangers game and the last 2 yesterday. Last season the only mistake I remember him making that lead to a goal was the cross he misjudged against Hibs.

We looked good yesterday can't help but feel if Ox was in goals last 3 games were on 7 points.

I just don't see it mate Cbs we have Gordon, Mcginn, Balmer, Mcghee with SOD who can also play there Rbs - JK, Sparrow, SOD Lbs - Longelo, Wilson unless you move on 1/2 there's no way we sign anymore.

If we add Charles-Cook and a holding midfielder I think we've had a decent window. Could probably do with shifting Balmer and replacing him if JBA doesn't fancy him. if we sign Cook I'd be getting Luca Ross out on loan to get game time as well. Probably finish somewhere from 6th-9th.

Hendry looks to be a decent addition we need a holding midfielder and a winger/No10 and our squad is ready for the season. Ward/Oxborough JK/Sparrow Gordon/SOD Mcginn/Mcghee/Balmer Longelo/Wilson Watt Fadinger/Halliday Just/Ross Slattery/Nicholson Maswanhise/Said Hendry/Stam/Osong/ + Sule/Robinson/Stuperavic (All injured for a period of time) If JBA doesn't fancy Balmer shift him and get a Cb in.

That's a decent base fee and you'd expect add ons take it to 5M if there's a sell on as well we've done well. I wouldn't expect much to be re-invested in the squad. I'd say we need another 4/5 players to finish the squad 2x Cb 1x Cm 2x Attackers - 1 out an out striker, 1 that can play all across the forward line. Squads light with all our injuries and JBA clearly doesn't fancy Balmer so could do with shifting him.

The only change I'd make v St Mirren is Oxborough in for Ward

Seen the other day that Tyler Maglorie was a free agent with this high line we're trying to implement he could be a good addition

ST, 2 Cbs and a replacement for Miller when he leaves. That 2nd half performance is the best I've seen from us in years,

Team I'd pick tonight would be Ward Koutrombis Gordon Balmer Longelo Watt Slattery Sparrow Just Sule Maswanhise Hopefully win by a couple goals and Sule and Just get off the mark If Mcginn is fit him at Cb over Balmer.

The squads going to be bloated either way due to the nature of Robinson and Stuperavic's injuries we'll be running at minimum a 25 man squad. We're about to sign a winger called Ibrahim Said from Viborg.

forgot about I'll add him in

That's fair enough here's the squad we'd be going into the season with in that case Gk- Ox, Ward RB - SOD, Johnny K Cb - Gordon, Balmer, Mcghee, Mcginn LB - Longelo, Wilson CM - Miller, Watt, Halliday, Slattery, Sparrow, Fadinger RW - Just, Nicholson, Ross LW- Maswanhise ST- Stam, Sule, (Robinson, Stuperavic both crocked to December at the earliest) Plus any youth lads that could potentially break through

Just I believe is a RW either way we need another winger, you need 4 if you're playing a 433 we currently have Maswanhise, Just and Nicholson (Who's injury prone) and if you want to add Ross you can but not convinced he's ready i'd loan him out, we need a Cb who's semi decent on the ball, we need a Cm regardless of Miller leaving and an probably a 2nd when he does and St. I mean I'm not the biggest fan of SOD or Johnny K tbh but we already have they 2 plus Mcginn to play there so doubt we'll add a RB.

we still need 3/4 imo - LW, CB, CM and a Target-man type ST

yh i'll add him into Cm forgot about him when making it
