That means absolutely nothing to be fair. The fact that someone told you something.

Of course it's not. I certainly don't want to see us relegated and it's clear we desperately need a striker.

Except we didn't lose today. I've seen comments on social media over the last few months saying it would be better for Motherwell to be relegated so we can rebuild. I don't share that view. Do you think another manager would do better with the team we currently have ?

Completely agree with you. No matter what Kettlewell does it never seems to be good enough - Im talking in general terms here - all over social media. His hands are surely tied by the budget he has available to him

Neither Wilkinson or Shaw performed for Motherwell. Shaw in particular. I personally don't see that as being a situation of our own making if a striker isn't scoring goals. They were signed to to a job and they haven't lived up to potential. Plus it seems clear Wilkinson wanted to return back to England.

Shaw is injured so wouldn't have been featuring any time soon anyway.

I think that's a question that needs to be asked. Because right now I think Kettlewell can't do anything right when it comes to some of our fan base.

So who do we sign then? Given the constraints that Motherwell are operating under at the moment?

Surely most football players will pick up injuries at some point.

Do you honestly think that our manager would train players in a way that would get them injured? It has nothing to do with luck. Its part and parcel of the nature of the game.

It would astonish you how easy it is to get certain injuries. I got a grade two calf tear at a bootcamp when I was warmed up. Just a freak accident. It happens

Kettlewell didn't say anything about it in his interview today.

Criminology:) am loving it to be fair. My spelling is ok but I've had to work on so many other things... Hopefully Motherwell will kick on and I'll only be crying about my essays going forward:).

Completely agree. Nice lad but he was not better than nothing. He was also apparently struggling to settle in Scotland and I think Motherwell did the decent thing letting him go. Actually on reflection that makes me sound like I think he's a terrible footballer which isn't the case. I just think he struggled to adapt to the Scottish game and to being up here.

I wouldn't want Watt back. He fucked off and left us the first chance he got. All the badge kissing and then off he went. Wouldn't say the same about Moult but I don't think he's going anywhere.

It is rubbish to a degree and I don't have a TV so I obviously won't be watching it but speaking as someone who hasn't always had the money to go and watch Motherwell I don't think it's a bad thing that the game is being televised. I don't go to away games because I'm skint and the only games I go to apart from at Fir Park are if we get to a cup semi final or final.

I know you weren't and thank you

Completely with you on that one

I think we will sign a striker. Its clearly priority

Wasn't planned going back to uni, a strange set of circumstances got me to this point. I don't even remember if Motherwell did a student season ticket the first time I was at uni. Probably not from recollection Plus if you are in a low income and in Scotland and study part time you get your fees paid. Not the only reason I'm doing it but it absolutely helps.

Nicholson? I believe so.

I would say one would do barring injuries but I'd be amazed if we don't get a forward in before the transfer window closes. I'm sure Kettlewell knows it's priority. Just gutting that Mika got recalled

I am too. Don't think that Im not. Ive been going to Fir Park on and off (when I can afford it) since 1987... Showing my age now. So I'm aware of the rollercoaster. Irrespective of different opinions on here I'm sure we all want the best for the club. Just sods law that when I got a discounted ticket this year (student) we hit yet another rough patch.

Ill do that ... Absolutely no bother at all

I didn't actually think mentioning his name would provoke any kind of reaction. I've already said that I was making more of a point than that
