  1. Can't really grumble at three wins on the trot at the very start of a new season with about half the team being new players.

     

    Bit of perspective needed from anyone who is not happy about that. Last nights game was never going to be a walk over based on us changing a lot of the players, it was a plastic pitch and factor in we have the wee group pretty much down up after saturdays win.

     

    I still think this season will be a bottom half struggle as I don't think we have the squad size or creative quality to push for top six. Few injurys and we are going to struggle.

     

    I hope to be proved wrong though!

  2. Situation with Jacob Blyth is a tricky one. There is no way we can ship him for doing drugs as there is no proof he did. You can't exactly trust the sun as a pillar of accurate legal information.

     

    Might just need to come to some kind of arrangement....

  3. I don't often post here, but I had to login to respond to this tripe.

     

    Alan Burrows is the General Manager of the club and he answers to a board of directors who have the power to sack him if they feel he is not doing a decent job.

     

    He is in no way responsible for the performance of the team or the manager and also does not have the final say in who becomes manager, that will be decided by the board of directors.

     

    The team has gone downhill due to us losing high quality players and replacing them with not so high quality players. It's that simple. Clay would not even get on the bench for the McCall team that finished second. The signing of players comes down to the manager and McGhee signed a bunch of duds.

     

    We also have a few very important players in the team coming to the end of their careers. Is it any suprise that the decline of Lasley and Hammel has also seen a decline in the league position?

     

    Rebuilding job for next season, but Steve Robinson has achieved what he was hired to do and lets see what he can do to rebuild the squad.

     

    I also want to say that my son plays for the 2011 Community Trust team and the level of work that goes into the local community from Motherwell is astonishing and that is something Alan and his team are driving. its not all about the first team, there is massive amounts of work going on behind the scenes.

  4. The fact that three teams that need to win are playing away from home might have a bearing on the outcome.

     

    Fact is Celtic will be a very tricky game and there is a high chance we might get beat, but after looking at the fixtures that need to happen for us to drop down I think we have a good chance of staying in the top six.

  5. I think we have remember that Law has played in the sixth tier of English footbal his whole career. Moving to Motherwell was a huge step up in quality and to be fair to him he has done not too bad. I see him as a decent squad player.

     

    You think of guys like Grehan who took the similar step up from the lower leagues in Scotland and it never worked out for him.
