Playing a high press high tempo game needs a level of fitness many teams and players take months to achieve. Completely different from, say, playing on the counter attack. McGhee used to like to play that too, and even with a full pre-season, his sides ran out of puff after an hour or so. Under SK, we scored plenty of goals very late in games and you can't be that unfit to still be competing at that stage.

I'm OK with managers sticking up for their team in press interviews. I agree, however, he was a mile out in his analysis.

Hopefully nobody will have had time to feed the "we need to be at our best and them to underperform" patter to Wimmer yet and he just sets out a team that will earn some points. Doubt we'll get any, but at the very least it will be more competitve game time to work on the new tactics.

He's still mince at defending.

Can certainly see a few positive changes taking shape. Hopefully we can build on it before we run out of steam in the second half.

Not to mention passing through midfield and pressing out of possession,

Dundee using the Motherwell Bumper Book of Comedy Defending.

Slattery needs to start.

I've seen quite a few relegation teams over the years, but I don't see it in this one at the moment. Even just the fact they will play hard to the final whistle is a good sign. I won't be surprised if we're 8th or 9th, but if the new gaffer can get a higher tempo, higher energy team playing that might help compensate a bit for the wobbly defence.

Would be hilarious if SK got the Rangers job in the summer.

Gutted we narrowly missed out on the dream team of Ferguson, McCann, Dodds and McGregor to rescue us. An ex-Alloa manager sacked 3 years ago sounds just the ticket.

Kept his hair on, no doubt.

Only if the season finished tonight. If we're guaranteed 10th otherwise, that is a lot of dross we'll need to be watching until May.

How does Mexican milk introduce itself? Soy milk.

A customer from Colorado I work with is Mexican. He knows I'm a Motherwell supporter and told me last week he was a Dundee fan now thanks to the 2 Mexicans that joined them in January, and was looking forward to this game. Not my best anecdote, but true nonetheless.

SK announced detailed reviews of all this on an almost weekly basis.

It is ridiculous. It's also why we have a bloated squad, because even with 30 players, we struggle some weeks to find a fully fit matchday squad.

Clubs and fans will always find something to complain about. Every European tie is refereed by a neutral and it doesn't reduce the number of bad decisions from them or VAR.

F1 has been depressing for about the past 20 years. Formula-E is more entertaining these days; they can even overtake each other at circuits like Monaco. I'm in the opposite situation, though. Too much sport, not enough time to watch it all.

Glimmer or Grimmer with Wimmer? Take your pick...

About half as many as Casey.

Early days, of course, but 0/10 to the "can the new man organise a defence?" question. Same Scheiße different Tag.

The Del Boy of the German language.

I don't think we need the refugees from the locked SK thread hijacking this one. The line is drawn _________________________________________________________ let's move on
