Saying Priestman out for couple of months now. Dissapointing must be worse than originally was forecast . Leavitt can do that job but still a bit dissapointing as thought Priestman was great start of season . Must be one of the players Alfie spoke about few weeks back with regards to safety limits /overplaying and picking up calf injuries .

The clown that ran on to the park . Identify and Barr him . Absolute rocket . Another incoming fine in the thousands . Re game proud of team . Some top top performers in Moorman Reich and big fella up front had a good debut . Lots to learn from game that an average SPL game would never give you . Finally as a Well Society member and proud to be so when are you society board members actually going to show a bit of balls re the fan incursion and flares that’s costing our club money . Same goes with the club management . Very timid approach . Get it sorted guys far to soft on your approach to it . Not good enough .

The job at Motherwell after JBA left was probably one of the toughest you could get . Not sure many would have fancied that gig . Not only replacing one of if not our best ever managers imo who took us to 4th place and some of the best football I’ve seen played at FP . So he comes over having not played at a high or even decent level and fully commits by bringing his young family over then sees his best players leave and a major injury list headache . In my humble opinion that’s takes a lot of b**ls to be able to deal with these early issues and he’s only what 35/36 ? im not expecting a similar season as last but if we finish the season still playing the same way and still in this league I’ll be delighted . For me anything else will be a bonus so as it is I’m fully behind Alfie and I feel the majority are although as is life nowadays there will be a few out there getting twitchy on the seats at the game or the same on their keyboards ready to pounce when it’s not going well . Thats life I suppose but as proved last year if we’re all in it together the good AND the bad times well be fine Alfie will find his feet and with new signings hopefully enjoy the rollercoaster of the MFC.

Has anyone sussed out any watering holes on day of game . . Also anyone know what ticket allocation theve given us

Is Longelo suspended for this game

How many games is Fadinger suspended for

This time last year I was swithering about renewing my ST for this season . Football was atrocious and coupled with the toxic atmosphere when we went behind in a game I felt enough was enough . Some of it justified but some completely over the top. I've said on a previous post if the New Board /Chairman had not come in with a vision on how to change things then my days visiting FP would have been few and far between . The vision and bravery to go the route we have is nothing short of incredible . Could easily have bottled it after Winner but instead doubled down more . Hats off to everyone involved in the decision making . After a few league cup game where new style of play was being implemented some of the usual roasters were screaming from the stand to revert to the old style . Patience 0 on a scale from 0-10. Jens intervention at that stage calming the roasters down and educating us at the same time really helped . By time Rangers home game came along you could see signs of progress . From then to now the development of players and team collectively has been astonishing . After 58 years watching the ups and downs of our club I can honestly say hand on heart although maybe not the best ever players we've had i'm struggling to remember a better team playing better football . Truly remarkable turnaround

Excellent post and pretty much summarises the last 12 months . Ive got to be honest I personally didn't think we would have made the strides we have in such a relatively short period of time . Although this topic is addressed at the Chairman I'm also delighted with the efforts of the CEO who seems to go about his work in a pragmatic and dilligent manner working it seems tirelessly behind the scenes . And of course the fellow directors and WS who seems to be sailing in the same direction . What a refreshing change

Interested to start a discussion on how our new Chairman's vision of the club going forward has been taken on board by the fan base . He certainly comes accross well in interviews and seems very honest and transparent with his answers to questions. Feel it's a much tighter ship now as not much gets leaked as seen with transfers incoming and out going . For me I'm on board . He like many of our support were not happy with many aspects re. the football side and in particular the style of play adopted by the managers appointed pre Wimmer . Hes gone about changing that completely by being bold with European type coaches who have different ways of looking at how the game is played and also different mindsets/mentality . Pre Wimmer it was doubtful I'd have renewed my ST as the football was an awful watch imo . I've been going to FP for 58 years and it would have been a wrench to stop but this fresh approach has been a breath of fresh air . How will we do this season ? . Position wise don't think it will be much different to any other season say 5th to 8th kinda thing but I'm 100% convinced it'll be a much better watch So to conclude I'm delighted the Chairman has taken this bold step and should be given enormous credit for his decisions so far in changing the direction of the club .

There lies the issue for me . He's a penalty box striker but to be effective in that role you need good quality/delivery from both sides and that has not been happening . I like JK and Longelo but when it come to delivery there no Geordie Gent . You could also include Sparrow in there . Think it was Slattery who played a decent ball into AP in the league cup and guess what happened next . You could be a million pound penalty box striker but if service isn't good then it's a problem in

Was a strange atmosphere at game last Tuesday and think manager has picked up on it very quickly . Players following instruction then a mistake at the back and they score . Vast majority of of fan base stayed calm but very small percentage started booing . Actually turned round at that point and there were a few angry chappies in full throttle booing 8 mins into the first home game . . Each to their own I suppose but the way the manager explained staying calm was important at that point re. the players not rushing things it was very telling . I for one will be buying into his methods as the last few years have been an awful watch . Not sure everyone in our support is though or even willing to give it a chance . The reason he was brought in was because even the Chairman wanted a different style of football to punts up the park and winning second balls stuff as per Robbo Alexander Kettlewells. Chairman has been brave in this appointment . He could easily have taken the safe appointment but chose to try something different . Im sure the vast majority of us will buy into it . The boo brigade ?Mmmm not so sure

Ok let’s get the overall discussion of the game first . Imo lucky to get a point , poor spectacle , Killie worked hard for there point and could have won it 2nd half . Then the sending off . WTF . Seriously that was ridiculous/embarrassing. No matter how you try to analyse that if that’s a sending of then OMG might be time to Chuck it . If that’s not overturned 😳. To be given a chance to correct his decision then stick to his guns is beyond ridiculous. Who is this guy . Is he actually a referee

Not happening . I asked CEO this very direct question at the meet the manager /ceo night . The response from CEO was 1. No medium or long term plans to move 2. Cost prohibitive and sale of ground would be fraction of what we need ,unlike St Mirren who got good money for prime site commercial land . Was fairly short response but certainly he put any idea of moving to bed

With a few days left before voting closes I’m still in the undecided group for my remaining selections . I’m looking to have as broad a selection in my voting as possible but there is quite a lot of overlapping between candidates re. what there going to bring to the table . The small videos are great but a simple list of what there main priorities and specialisms will be if elected would help . There’s a lot of overlap which I believe makes it tricky for members voting . On the plus side some outstanding candidates who are enthusiastic and appear to be more than capable of doing a sterling job .

We can obviously learn lessons from what happened over last few weeks but not to the point of obsession . That’s the past now let’s look ahead to the future with a revitalised WS board , executive board and even more importantly in my opinion an enthused and hopefully more engaged WS membership pulling together as one . The WS board as excellent as they have done are only as strong as its members and this has proved to be the case of late. I know it’s an old cliche but our strength moving forward will be down to our unity and engagement as one . Let’s keep this energy going forward, , thank the WS board for working on our behalf and push on with the plans outlined in the WS document. Let’s get right behind them the CEO and whoever will be the new Chair . They deserve that chance
