Might as well throw in Darren young from that list, had done well at Albion rovers.
McPherson gives me the fear.
-
Burley has come up the last couple of times, but seems to be off the radar this time around for some reason. I'd like him here, he'd fit the "craig brown type" profile.
Mixu is still kicking about too, and I think we agreed last time that he'd be shite.
-
So for speculation's sake, we can probably discount anyone who is employed, so let's drop Duffy and Hughes. This would also cover previous popular applicants like nijholt and vdg. Alex Neil would be great, but there's no way he would take a job just a couple of days after being fired. Then we know coyle, Davies and mcculloch haven't applied.
Assuming our short list is of applicants, and not a wish list:
Robinson has definitely applied, and valakari apparently flew to Scotland last week, and he did apply last time so we can be pretty sure he's one of the short list.
This leaves names like butcher, Presley, Lomas, who will all know what the job involves and be in our price range. Then outsiders like dickov and freedman.
So I'm now sure that it will be Robinson.
-
I figured since interviews are on Monday that some of the runners would be at the game today, but nothing has been mentioned.
-
Before the game most of us were happy to just not take a doing, but ffs, to switch off at the last minute is criminal.

We're capable of shipping 5 goals in a half. Let's hope we didn't just switch halves

Has there been any talk of finding ways to entice fans in other countries to join, maybe in the form of a campaign specifically targeting them? pulling on the heartstrings with some nostalgia or stuff like "you're not here but you can help", or "you don't have to watch this, but we do, so give us money".
Is this an effort that could be an opportunity for an exile member to have something to do?
I don't know the size of our international fan base, but if there are two of us in memphis then there must be loads in cities and countries that are nice.

He's dead to me if he can't be selected on a Saturday.
...or I clicked the wrong thread.

Dylan Mackin scores for alloa
-
Shea Gordon from u20s, we got him in January.
-
Mchugh, frear, and McDonald were all quoted through the week as backing Robinson for the job. However, this happens at every club when there's a caretaker, and I'm sure there were similar overtures for black and Craigan in the last. Unfortunately it sometimes works and you get a malpas.

Shit, forgot about Presley for a bit there.
-
Per Jane Lewis of BBC Scotland on Twitter : Owen Coyle, Billy Davies and Lee McCulloch all have something in common! They did not apply for #Motherwell managers job.
-
Craig Reid is a free agent according to the link below. He's shite, but just fire him on with hammell, lasley and faddy and see how many times we can foul their goalie.
-
I guess we'll see what Robinson thinks of some of the youth/fringe players now! At the moment the only definite absence is tait, and I assume Hammel will play since Robinson didn't mention him. Was McMillan not right back when we got horsed up there last time?
Will he push the injured guys to try and play? Or does he think McGuire or Ferguson can do a job? Does he stick Campbell at right back, for him to perform well and get the Hateley treatment? Does he shoe horn Hammel or chalmers at RB? Stick clay there?
Plenty of questions, including how long will I be able to last with the mixlr commentary, but I think the result is pretty much guaranteed now.
-
Robinson has the the advantage as can probably secure the job if he gets a more respectable result than 7-2. So he should park the bus and keep it to 4 or 5.
-
One problem baraclough may have had is that there was a group of experienced players that could undermine new ideas. With lasley, hammell, McFadden, Pearson and McDonald all leaving in the summer it is a good opportunity for new ideas. Unfortunately we need to make sure we're still in the premier league before this happens.

I want Mark McGheelle to get the job.

I'm guessing the odds of larrson to rangers might be longer than 20-1, but I would love that.
-
Yep, henrik larrson appeared at 20-1 after I posted the name here, hopefully not because someone saw it and put their hard earned on it, my conscience can't take that.
-
Yep, as unglamorous as it may sound, we need someone who knows the Scottish game and won't underestimate it like baraclough did. Our "leftfield" appointments have had mixed success at best, with McCall being the only success if you consider his as part of that category.
I hope we are coming round to maybe thinking that knowledge of our own game is more important than "contacts" down south.
-
We've had some crackers of "applicants" over the last few years, going back to Gus Hiddink when we went with McLeish, then more recently Nobby Solano and now Ravanelli, and I'm sure I'm missing a few.
I think the explanation for these is that their agents just post their CVs to every open post, then fire a message to the relevant newspapers, mainly just to keep their guy's name out there.
-
So based on all of the above, 2-0 us.
-
Don't really want moult to miss any games, but Aberdeen away is probably the best one for him to miss, rather than a game against our bottom six rivals. Heneghan missing the st j game could be hairy, when is McManus due back?
I think this game will suit bowman, and depending on the system there could be a Blyth sighting. I'm sure we will be going into this one fired up, but Aberdeen won't be taking it easy.
