By all accounts Naismith played him in a deeper role early in the season, which clearly isn't his strength. Of course, he will take time to adjust to a new system and new team mates, so I wouldn't write him off at this point. I'm not surprised Hearts are struggling, though. I don't rate Naismith as a coach, and they got away with some poor performances under him last season thanks to Shankland's goals. Even when we were bad last season, you could at least see the team had a plan and a shape - we either didn't execute or made stupid mistakes (or both). Hearts just look clueless right now, and long may it continue.

I was too busy laughing at Michael Stewart banging on about how "this team are there for taking" Not by this Hearts team, Michael. They were even worse than they were at Fir Park.

I'm smart enough to know "mean average" isn't a thing. However, you asked where the 7 or 8 goals per season came from, so I provided you with the evidence. Maybe you thought 7 or 8 goals per season meant "exactly 7 or 8 goals every season" - in which case I'd suggest your understanding of football stats is "mean average"

It comes from his well documented stats. In particular, his time while playing in the UK. I'll break it down for you into manageable chunks Scunthorpe 2014-15: 20 games, 2 goals Scunthorpe 2015-16: 20 games, 2 goals Canbur 2015-16: 12 games, 1 goal Scunthorpe 2016-17: 20 games, 10 goals Scunthorpe 2017-18: 21 games, 5 goals Northampton 2017-18: 10 games, 0 goals 4 seasons, 20 goals = 5 goals per season Northampton 2018-19: 25 games, 7 goals Scunthorpe 2018-19: 13 games, 1 goals Scunthorpe 2019-20: 27 games, 10 goals Scunthorpe 2020-21: 19 games, 1 goal 3 seasons, 19 goals = 6.3 goals per season tl;dr - in the 7 seasons before he joined us he scored 39 = 5.6 goals per season. If you want to look at his return over his entire career, including his record spell with us and his 20 goals in the Dutch 3rd division, he has 109 goals in 14 seasons = 7.8 goals per season.

I said when KVV left it was perfect timing. Cashed in while he was hot and zero chance of a repeat of that season. We got the best out of him, but now I think he'll more likely be back to his more normal 7 or 8 goals a season form (if you're lucky) Better not to tarnish his club legend status.

That must have come as a real punch to the guts. That incident reminded me of the St Mirren game at Love St where Billy Abercrombie was shown 3 red cards - although we didn't realise it was that many at the time.

I don't think it's overshadowing yesterday's game. I haven't seen it mentioned in the media, and it's only a small number of posters discussing. Regardless, I'd propose a 2 step solution: Step 1. If you're a fan and behaving like a ned, stop it. Step 2. If you're a club official and overstepping your authority, stop it. Now that's done I'm off to sort out the cease-fire talks in Cairo.

He might have had his faults, but Kelly wasn't responsible fot Butcher, Blaney, Casey and Mugabi losing their man multiple times per game. Also no coincidence it was a poor header from Casey that gave Spittal his chance in the first half.

Doesn't get much better than turning over the Jambos. Now take your pick...

Just just sayin' sayin'

Just sayin'

I feel we have another goal or two in us for the second half.

So are you going to share the reasons for the bans and discuss the evidence for and against? Or are you just going to make claims based on no facts? I'm open minded and happy to listen to both sides of the argument, but so far have not seen anything of substance from either party. I'm guessing Caldwell has more to go on than you, but look forward to hearing the facts you have gathered so far.

I think that's true, but what we are reading right now are just rumours. Plus, of course, we may well be in discussions with midfielders too.

It's definitely a lot of strikers if we're only going with one up top. Having said that, I'd rather be in this situation than last season when injuries meant our options to support Bair ended up being Paton and Shaw. Of course, given our track record, it could also mean Apostolos's injury is worse than expected and we've crocked Robinson in training

I won't quote all the posts, but there are 3 or 4 in the last couple of pages alone.

I think some posters can't get past the Wrexham situation when overseas fans are discussed. I believe there are Society members from something like 20 different countries. If a few of them promote the club for free to others in the same country, what's the problem? If that leads to a few more dollars/euros/pounds spent with the club, more power to them. If it doesn't, no harm done.

And the restaurant where you can eat your food under a hair dryer I had my dinner there once.

I'd argue that Les Hutchison saved out club and helped structure it for a healthy future; and I'll always be grateful for that. I'm 100% sure his politics are very different from mine.

Is a rain shelter with heaters not just "inside"?

Agreed - it looks like a good set of candidates were elected. A little surprised the voter turnout was quite so low given all the action around the takeover bid, but happy with the results.

And Rangers! Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers reunion on cards for Motherwell new boy who sought out ex-Rangers man before joining Steelmen

I only read the announcement on Twitter, but just checked the official site and it's confirmed there: "Zimbabwean international Tawanda Maswanhise has signed on a short-term deal till January, with the club holding an option to extend that further."

I'd wait until he avoids long term injury for at least 3 months,
