It's bizarre because he made a weird substitution last week, so all substitutions are now weird. The other option would have been to put clarkson on in midfield, nope. Taylor's return from suspension and the addition of another midfielder should take away the need for such substitutions going forward.

I think a big key to this season will be forcing Marv, Lionel and skippy to fight for their place. If all three are sharp then we'll be more than fine. Thomas making a claim for a regular spot really helps here. I assume that our 2 remaining signings will be a midfielder and a right back.

Two wins in a row, let's enjoy the last few days of the transfer window and hang our pants out to dry for a bit.

If he can play wide then I can see why we brought him in, cover for the forwards while fletcher is out and while skippy covers in midfield, and since our game is based around the wingers (and we know Lionel and Marv will blow hot and cold) he can provide competition there.

Robinson dude has signed

It's Gary Locke we're talking about, for him getting the right number of players on the park is an achievement.

Twitter has the guy who was sitting with the team as striker Theo Robinson, and Wikipedia doesn't rate him. Would be surprised if we signed another striker, but wouldn't be surprised if this was the caliber of we did.

Was about to advocate making a bid for the guy. Then I remembered Stevie Nicholas and Neil Tarrant. However, it would be nice if our scouting system threw up a young scot for a change.

Kennedy, leitch, and clarkson in for McManus, Taylor and skippy.

Was really hoping we could get one or two Irish lads in just so we could start making Molloy and Keegan comparisons.

Was his injury last year not for a similar reason, with an advertising board instead of a guy with a broken leg?

What's the latest on Pearson?

I'm sure the guy that tweeted it just mentioned us as an example of how shite he thinks mcgeady is.

What gets me about this is that we're meant to be a good counter attacking team.

Any more of McManus' pals looking for a game? He's our next manager isn't he?

Think I must have mistaken lsd for coffee again.

We've had 4 games with this squad and both teams have had different opposition, so sample size is too small for those kind of stats.

Us pumping the Rangers is the real issue here.

Rangers fans probably wetting themselves at the prospect of replacing us in the top division, getting Lionel and Marv, and each getting a Motherwell fan as a personal slave. But I doubt it will be that serious, prob a fine and a warning.

Is clarkson a possibility?

I believe charmers was left mid, Marv right mid, and law at right back.

Cool, I'm off to think of another excuse now.

This usually ends with the player moving, and is either a tactic to push along the deal in question or alert other clubs that something could be done.

7 signings/ re-signings is a fair amount, and we also extended law, Pearson, watt and Thomas before the end of last season. We have two spots left to fill and one of them is a backup as las and Pearson will start when fit. This leaves goalie, which I assume is going to be a loan so will probably be closer to the end of the window. I'd rather we brought in our own keeper though. If they had spaced the announcements out a bit more there would probably be less worry. Last off season was a failure, but I don't think many people were complaining at the time, since we just finished 2nd and we had no money. Then we had to wait until the winter window to make signings because we had just changed owner.
