  1. A lot of talk about Moulty leaving and understandably so. For me though I think he should stay regardless of the interest. For me players find their level and for me Moult has found his. Adored by the fans, proven scorer and he wont miss his rent on his current wage. I know he and his agent will maybe aspire to bigger and better but is the grass always greener? Ok so he could land a move in the window, be sucessful. Fair play and well done. But what if it goes like stoke? For me its sign on here, make a more than good wage and legend!!

  2. For me pace in the wide areas will be key. I'd be inclined to give Blyth a start and go with getting balls into the box for him. His added height will be more advantageous. We will need to cope with not having the ball for periods so the midfield will need to put a shift in chasing everything down. If we can limit what they offer going forward and break with pace I think we can take something from this

  3. Given Holt left his role at Norwich because he wanted to pursue a managerial position it'd seem an odd career move to go for the assistant job at Motherwell tbh. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36650786

    He was on off the ball 2/7 and the impression I got from him on the radio was he was looking at getting back into the game, with the view of being first team coach/manager, but it certainly didn't sound like he would be ruling himself out as an assistant at any club. I may be wide of the mark on that as two weeks ago is hazy in my head. It remains to be seen who McGhee appoints but imo it is someone of that ilk that we need to be looking at

  4. With first team players dependant on one or more players moving on, there still remains the outstanding position of assistant manager to be filled. McGhee has said there have been a dozen good applicants, for me I'd like to see someone like Gary Holt - presuming he will apply, which given he's unemployed is a reasonable assumption - youthful but with a good pedigree and should McGhee only see out his current contract, an ideal replacement

  5. Thats the second time I've seen Ramsden and he looks ok, not sure if id play him centre half with Hutch and Sauders fully fit, might be a good bet for RB with saunders taking CB along side hutch imo

  6. Topic came up at todays game, I recolect Stevie scoring a headed goal from either a knock out then back in from a corner or freekick, don't remember who against or when, would say it was in his first spell with us. May even have fabricated the whole event.

     

    Hoping someone with a better memory than us stella fuelled few could answer

  7. Craig Brown - bigger salary at the dons, consistent bottom 6 of SPL and no cup runs, not Euro footie. = negative move

    Jim Gannon - Who - sacked from 'Well currently at stockport ion the conference. = negative move

    Mark McGhee - dons then struggled currently at bristol rovers. = negative move

    Mo Malpas. 1 season of pure dross at fir park, sacked an currently assistant to TB at inverness. = negative move

    Terry Butcher. Left for Oz, never worked out. Currently at Inverness, regular bottom 6, no cup runs, no European football. = negative move

    Eric Black, bottled it when we went into admin, currently assistant at relegated blackburn, couple of caretaker roles, no jobs as manager. = negative move

    Billy Davies, sacked by 'Well, did ok with broon at PNE as assistant but at a club in the lower leagues of England. Did reasonably well at Forrest, again lower leagues. No cups no leagues, no Europe. = negative move

    Harri Kampman, sacked by 'Well fter a season, went back to Finnish lower league, currently unemployed. = negative move

    Alex McLeish, destroyed a good 'Well side after one season. left well for hibs and took them down, won the first division with a SPL team, somehow blagged the job at ibrox - cheap option imo - did ok with money to spend in a league with one main rival. Once he had spent on poor players the fans turned and he was sacked from ibrox. Took the Scotland job as no-one else would touch it with a barge pole. Couldn't do any worse or break it with his own signings. Failed to qualify for Euros and quit. Took a reasonable Birmingham out of the EPL - sacked. Crossed the city to Villa almost done the same - sacked. Currently unemployed = checkered managerial career that appears to have been based on poor judgement by clubs rather than a proven managerial track record. = Fud

  8. For me the fact that any referee has come out and tried to defend this decision tells me they know there has been a serious mistake made. This for me is an attempt to diminish the importance of the decision as it could have a bearing on the final league placings and as such has a financial bearing to at least seven of the twelve clubs involved in the SPL. To blame Forbes is utterly inexcusable and I would hope the Motherwell establishment are looking at the slander law as this "referee" has clearly brought question to the players attitude and proffesional conduct. Dougal's reasoning for laying the blame away from the linesman has one major flaw in my opinion, if the linesman has looked along the line and saw that Craigan is onside then he must also see Forbes also onside as he has to look beyond the first bank of defenders / attackers to make this judgement, to "lose concentration" as he has put it is nonesense unless the linesman has no short term memory and then it raises why he is allowed to officiate proffesionally. For Forbes to come from an offside position, he must by definition been offside when the ball was knocked goalwards but the linesmans view from the touchline could never have presented this fact.
