Out of interest how much would the manager have to spend before you would expect more than 0 points from 12 ? I wasnt one of the cheerleaders who was fooled by the play offs , thought Johnson was Ronaldo or even got anywhere near excited by the summer signings. It isnt the Champions League we're in though and relatively speaking some serious cash has been spent by this guy. It's early days , hopefully the goals start going in for us soon. Definsively im not expecting them to improve much if any , we know what we have back there and have decided to stick with it, Hopefully the supposidly lesser teams will cause us less damage at that end of the park.

His flute band collection dwarfs Colin O'Neill's too , he'll never last ...

I well remember him greeting about our fans and saying he'd never play for us Would just about round off a completely underwhelming, bordering on worrying group of signings this window for me.

His timely signing and goals had a fair influence on us (just) finishing above St Mirren last season if you ask me

Apparently Baraclough is quite happy with what we had last season

Certainly not me if you are stupid enough to already have him at 2 in a row.

Most exciting pre season in years apparently ...

Paddy Power has us joint 2nd favs to finish bottom , stone cold last , they arent as deluded as some ...

Yip , that Sevco team even made McManus look half decent , the rest of the SPFL certainly never though. The bottom 6 performances when it was in our hands and we were playing for our survival were abject , to keep it clean. Id be looking elsewhere for a keeper and centre half. Im hoping we bring in someone with some leadership skills. Ideally the new boys will bring goals with them and we wont miss McDonalds (5 in 11 according to wiki) we will miss his drive , enthusiasm and confidence to tell the others to get the finger out though when things arent going well , all too often some of them looked as if they couldnt give one last season.

Other than the others that Scotland has produced over the years ye mean !? He may have been one of the best in his age group to come out of Hamilton i'll give him that Good luck and hope he does a job for us.

If last season showed us anything it was that when you have a keeper and defenders who arent good enough (yet you pursue to resign the following season) and you add in a striker who doesnt score goals then relegation is a distinct possibility Folk who spent time and money travelling away in particular wont need reminding how pathetic we were last season and how big an improvement is needed , are Chalmers and Clarkson a big improvement ? Maybe , hopefully the signings still to come inspire me with a bit more confidence though Two enjoyable wins over Sevco doesnt hide the fact that Baraclough failed miserably to raise that squad for the "must win" post split fixtures , new and much better players are needed, talk is cheao.relegation isnt.

Thinking it was ok to piss about for 45 minutes and then pat ourselves on the back for getting a point against 10 man Killie is still the one thats niggling at the back of my mind as what might be the sickener. Whats gone before counts for fuck all though. It's down to the next 3/4 games and It's still in our hands IMO. Need to win on Saturday though , over to you lads ... (with the now almost traditional post NDP rhetoric ringing in my ears for the third time in a year about knowing they let us down and being out to show us something about it next time) As an ST holder i hope they open the gates and announce it early to try and get a crowd in . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fpu5nYMuKI4 PS It's a cold day in hell before i'll ever be scared of Ross County coming to Motherwell

I think Matt still has it on sale on Dosserdom

If the club wanted to make money from it they should have bought it . Good luck to those willing to pony up and take the risks themselves.

Its fairly obvious thats who it is , the board wait until a confidential deal is almost done and then they get the phone out and ring Rab McKinnon before making their way through any still living former managers in alphabetical order , McCall wouldve known our business very early on.

Je suis Leanne Et c'est ma femme

John Hendry ?

Thank fuck he's away , i bet him to score EVERY week.

Based on the evidence presented so far I firmly believe that i would convert more chances then Erwin in the box.

Josh Law , again.

A quick look at the league table may go a bit towards explaining it.

At Paisley his fucking about on the edge of the box couldve cost us the win seconds before the end of the game. Im not having a go , merely pointing out that he is human as some on here have the opinion that might be beyond that , generally the same folks who wouldve been forming a lynch mob outside had John Sutton fucked up the chance Erwin had at 2-0 over in Hamilton. Anyway , time to head up 2-0 us (Erwin , Thomas)

I cant believe he never won the Ballon d'Or given the ludicrous overhype there has been around him.

The wee boy hauding the rest of them got huckled before they got a chance to spark them ?
