I certainly have no complaints with Macron who have done some really nice kits for us. I live in hope, however, of seeing another Adidas one some day. They have made some iconic designs like that German shirt and another favourite of mine - the Stefan Edberg shirt from the 80s. I had the blue version Although it might be a case of "you had to be there"

I'd be surprised if Robinson is a serious candidate - although it would fit their pattern of hiring Motherwell managers, I suppose. Strachan might be a good shout.

Aye, it's the one they wore from 1988 - 1991, including that world cup.

You're much more confident in the Test and Trace shambles than I am.

Adidas retro along these lines would be nice.

You know it's been a good weekend on the pitch when the arguments are about which ex-players were the best English teachers.

So far so good in achieving his initial goal of improving performances and moving us towards safety. Challenge number two (as it is for all recent 'Well managers) will be rebuilding the team in the summer.

Aye. I didn't for one moment say Tommy Wright is a donkey. I didn't want him at Fir Park any time in the past few seasons he was mentioned because I don't want to watch his eye-bleeding style of football. When we were looking to replace Robinson, however, I thought we needed someone fresh to inject some enthusiasm and new ideas into our team. I didn't think Wright matched either of those requirements and so far, that has proved to be the case. Situations like ours, Killie's, Ross County's, Accies' etc, are all about having the right man at the right time. There is no doubt Wright had a lot of success in Perth - I just don't think he was close to what was needed at Fir Park when we were looking for a new gaffer.

Very true. I always enjoyed standing quite close to the pitch on the East terracing, but there's no doubt that sitting the Main Stand gives a much better view of the game as a whole.

Aye, just after I saw your post I came across this article about how he's adapted this initial approach. Definitely one for that stats and tactics nerds.

So far, so good.

One thing is that Alexander likes us to play out from the back with short passes. That helps keeps things connected much more than having the keeper launch it every time.

Glad he's doing well. Shows what a good loan spell can do for a player and should encourage others to come and join us.

I went for Campbell as well. The midfield was key today, and we won our battles across the pitch. When Wee Al is on form he's unstoppable. Great performances from front to back, though, and when then happens you get results like today's.

That's exactly what you have to judge him on. John Hughes was facing a similar challenge at Ross County. Hughes has made an impact. Wright has not. Even if Killie stay up I'm glad we dodged the Tommy Wright bullet. We definitely got the better man.

Great result against a team that can destroy a game with their anti-football. The fact they managed to kick Watt out of the game early on is a perfect example of their style. Kept up the level of performance from last week and it certainly makes a huge difference when the strikers are taking their chances. That takes the pressure off the defence too, when they know that conceding a goal doesn't mean you have lost the game. The Killie game is going to be a real battle. EDIT: also, Killie are showing why I wasn't in the "let's get Tommy Wright" camp. I wasn't convinced then he was the kind of manager needed to turn around a struggling team, and he's done nothing to prove me wrong yet.

I doubt he'd care if he's scoring goals (any more than he'd care about looking scunnered). It's the fans that get wound up about these things.

It seems to be a standard GA tactic though. He did the same last week.

Straight from the training ground. Terrible free kick to confuse the defenders, then pounce with the strike.

Lasley is just keeping GA's seat warm in the stand.

Kelly has 2 years remaining on his QPR contract. I can't see them letting him move to Fir Park for a nominal transfer fee - he's worth more to them than that. As for the game, we just need to keep digging in and look for that second goal. As GA keeps saying, we're at the business end of the season and it's all about the points.

Didn't even know Cole was a pen taker.

Ian St John mentions that at the end of the clip, so I'm guessing your recollection is accurate.

Wullie P's tribute from The Herald.

Here's his FA Cup winning goal (which is as old as me). Plummy mouth commentator calling him "Sinjin" And a Christmas show with a Jimmy Greaves stand-in.
