I'm not so sure. Is Samson better than Ripley? Mibbes aye mibbes naw. Taylor - I'd agree. Grimshaw - not bad but no standout. Central midfield continues to be a weak area for us and it needs fixed PDQ. Mark McGhee said that we need more cover there.

The more I thought about this the less concerned I became. Ok, we're not in a great position financially, but we shouldn't overreact to this. For the past good few years we have had to have a cash injection/loan in January, traditionally the leanest time of the year, to tide us over. In the past this has come from Directors or the Society and this is what the auditors are referring to although it hasn't usually been spelt out quite as clearly.

There's always a risk when summarising lengthy text that you miss out important information and perhaps you've done that here. Yes, the auditors do say what you write but they also say that the Board is reasonably confident that, if additional funding is required, that the club will be able obtain it to allow it to continue in existence for the foreseeable future. Incidentally, going by your moniker, are you a travelling man?

You seem to have some "inside knowledge" of playing matters. What is the source of your information?

Had it not been for the Society the club would already be in administration. It may be a straight choice between an uncertain future and no future at all. Don't forget that these accounts are for the year up to the end of May and will not include the Lee Erwin transfer fee or Jamie Murphy's add on, which taken together will be worth about £530K. Certainly not an encouraging position to be in but things should become clearer at the AGM on 7 December.

This. Quite a lot of anti Mark McGhee feeling already beginning to surface going by some posts. I don't pretend to have any inside information but like Andy was at the meeting at Fir Park a week ago. Mark McGhee has been to some Under 20 games and was planning to attend last week's game and taking training sessions. He also said that Les Hutchison had got across that youth was the way ahead. He was also able to single out Dom Thomas and Dylan Mackin for praise and obviously knew a fair bit about both lads. In our current situation survival is our priority and given that, most of us would sacrifice blooding youngsters for fielding experienced pros and getting a result.

A lot will depend on who is fit and if we picked up any further injuries on Saturday or if we sustain more in training this week. Certainly a dose of good luck wouldn't go amiss - I'm hoping its a case of swings and roundabouts. By all accounts Inverness had no luck against Partick on Saturday.

Some truth in that. Over the past two weeks especially, injuries and suspensions have taken their toll. Big Mick isn't exactly playing the best footie if his career but MMcG said on Monday his experience would be missed yesterday and that we are light in central defence. A shocking refereeing decision in the Inverness game caused us problems yesterday. Until January, the bossman has to get the best from what he has and change the style of play to suit the players. Some players may find themselves out of favour and others may get their chance. In January he'll need to wheel and deal and it seems defence and central midfield will be his priorities. This season results will be important as will getting a bit of luck. From TV highlights yesterday it seems to me that County's penalty was very soft - maybe those who were at Dingwall could verify this? Taken together with the penalty decision last week they have made the difference between 10th and 11th places. We can't rely on good luck though.

Sadly, that has been true of the service our strikers have received in many games this season Allan.

Just watched the TV highlights and yes we were very poor. I feel sorry for the fans who travelled north and had to endure that torture. Hopefully everyone arrived home safely. I've heard Mark McGhee speak a few times now and he won't tolerate players not performing consistently. Maybe not the type of manager to shout and roar but he'll know who is pulling their weight and who is not. By his own admission he still has a lot of changes to make and hopes to bring in one or two new faces. It seems defence and central midfield have caught his attention.

Presumably then a significant proportion of our support are "clueless morons". A very harsh view of many of your fellow Well fans. There are a lot of things on the playing side that Mark McGhee has yet to change by his own admission. Time will tell.

Presumably Chalmers was injured? That was the last thing we needed - 2 left backs out of action. As for Luke Watt - MMcG (note not MM) did not mention him on Monday evening when asked what young players might might the grade. If young Watt is not even on the bench that must be for a reason. You can't tell me that if he is playing well and has the right attitude then Craigan, Robinson and McGhee would all ignore him. They see him at first hand week in and week out and know more about him than we do. As for Taylor, I have no problem with MMcG selecting him. Until today he had not seen him in action and understandably wanted to see what he could or could not do. I would be more worried if he picked his team based on comments on this forum. Whether he will pick him again is another matter entirely.

I can understand why you're a bit apathetic towards us at the moment, but don't understand why Leeds United V Rotherham might be a more attractive proposition. Leeds is a bit further away than Dingwall and would take you longer to get there (and also more money). Leeds is mid table in the English Championship and Rotherham is bottom. Entry at Dingwall is £20 as opposed to £26/27 at Leeds. Still each to their own.

Celtic, Partick Thistle, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen, and Dundee are a bit less physical than the rest. Teams like Ross County, Hamilton, St Johnstone, Inverness and Dundee United are a bit more physical. Nothing wrong with playing physical football but someone needs to remind some of these teams, in crystal clear terms, that they're playing soccer not rugby.

A point and the squad leaving Dingwall in one piece will do me.

County will pose a serious physical challenge - they're no shrinking violets. However we're due some serious good luck after the Inverness debacle and I'll happily take being played off the park and winning 2-0.

This for me and a few others is the main point of confusion. Others are confused over highly complex legal and financial issues but for me this is a basic point. I'm not sure what the 400 comprises. Is it: A) 400 members who are paying up their subscriptions monthly? B) 400 members who are paying up their subscriptions monthly and members who are renewing by monthly instalments C) 400 members who have pledged a monthly sum over and above membership D) 400 members comprising a combination of the above.

I attended for most of the meeting and was a bit surprised that Brian MacCafferty didn't say more. However, Jim McMahon was the only one present who was closely involved in the legalities and mechanics of setting up the Society and so it was no surprise to me that he was the one who answered all the legal/procedural/technical questions. He didn't come across arrogant to me at all. That said, I was surprised that there was no definition of active members and yes perhaps there should be. However in the great scheme of things I doubt if its a major issue to be honest. Some good answers from the panel some poor answers from the panel but nothing gave me huge concern. The issue which does need clarifying though is the one about subscriptions/renewals/monthly payments. One questioner said that he'd stopped paying his annual renewal because of concerns but on the basis of answers provided last night he was now going to renew. So yes it was a mixed session. I wouldn't want those who didn't attend however to get the impression that everyone thought it was a shambles they most certainly didn't.

Why? Is it because you're opposed to fan ownership/would prefer one owner with a personal and clear vision/don't think the Well Society has competent enough individuals to run the club/don't think £1 is a realistic price.

It depends on the purpose and nature of the question. If its quite complex or detailed and its to trick or catch out the panel then yes, you're right - the least warning they can get the better. However if its to elicit an informed, comprehensive and helpful reply then its best to give advanced notice.

I don't know if that is a universal view. Certainly its not my recollection of events at all.

Yes, just received voting forms too but not involved.

If the interest in the Society shown on these forums is replicated throughout our support as a whole then the attendance at tonight's meeting should be pretty healthy. Looking forward to it.

Josh Law may be improving offensively but defensively he's not really come on much and he is 26. We don't all agree that Chalmers won't improve and its presumptious to write that. He hasn't had the best of starts with us but at 21 he has much more time to improve; whether Mark McGhee agrees or not is another matter. Stevie Hammell may be a short term solution but I doubt if he'll still be with us next season. Given his injury record now I just wonder how many more games he'll play for us.

Is it possible to add a translation facility to the site? I'm struggling a bit myself to understand some of the language at times.
