Taking away his injury he had 2.5 years at the club and was fit and on form for about a month at the longest at the beginning of this season. Then after the first international break he went back to his old self. He's had far more chances than most already.

In every game he's played opponents have run round him like he's not there. Why have him at all? It's just pissing money away and if the manager can't see that he's done then it's worrying. The biggest issue with Davor is that he's a man down in possession. You can't have three centrebacks plus a midfielde who is only able to pass it backwards or five yards sideways. It makes the game easy for the other team.

The idea that a preseason is going to turn Halliday around is magical thinking. His legs are gone and the opposition are already targeting him. Obika was a total write off from the League Cup group stages this season. Halliday will be the same.

Dylan Easton is 30 and was playing in the Lowland League not long ago. If he can cut it in the Premiership it'll be a bigger shock than Bair. Given that we already have three midfielders who range from poor to hopeless in Davor, Paton and Halliday it looks like it will be a problem area again. I get the feeling that because Kettlewell never played in the top division he's in denial about levels of quality required.

And what's happened to our league position since Spittal became our main man? We went from 5th to 7th to currently 9th.

That's a horrorshow of a list. Take four players from the teams below and you are only headed in one direction.

Kettlewell's Motherwell TV interview is like he's won a Nobel Prize rather than beat David Martindale's Livingston.

A good win without playing particularly well and some nice finishes. Gent has to be the best crossser of the ball we've had since Davie Cooper, if we had a Sutton type forward who thrives on crosses he would have got assists every game. Nicholson looked the sharpest he's been but it's hard to judge against Livi. Watching Halliday is painful, he was burst after 15 minutes and Livi players were dribbling round him like a traffic cone.

Halliday and Nicholson in for Vale and Davor. Risky considering their form and Spittal's complete disinterest since Ibrox.

Butland played the ball when the St Mirren guy was 6 yards away from him and the guy clattered into Butland. It should have been a foul to Rangers but Nic Walsh can't help himself. For someone who criticises refs every single time we play you seem to have a loose grasp on the laws. That St Mirren player just runs into people all the time. He's the perfect Robinson player.

It's apparently worth £20 million. There will be a side deal with the Browns to develop it. I'll be surprised if they don't end up with something like the wee temporary stadium Edinburgh Rugby play at.

It takes a real expert to play Conor Wilkinson in midfield. None of us could have ever came up with that.

No one is forcing them to spend so much. It's a choice from those owners.

It would have been some afternoon's work if he made zero saves.

I watched the live stream. I'm not desperate for them to slip up, it just keeps happening whether it's SOD gifting pens or Kelly doing the same idiotic routine where he retreats back to his line as the ball comes in at every corner. It was just a point about him saving us from a hiding when he only made three saves in the whole game.

The only reason to have a salary cap is to guarantee profits for the owners. It's why all the foreign money poured in. These owners saw a cash cow just waiting to be milked and the English will never get their game back again. They can't get rid of relegation but they are also demanding to be allowed to spend 5 times more than other Championship clubs the season after being relegated. Hopefully the PFA refuse to have anything to do with it.

This is a another Steelmen Online myth. It exists nowhere else than here.

Not directly related to us but the EPL club owners have now announced plans for a salary cap. It's obviously the start of a move to move huge NFL style profits out of the UK and into the owners foreign bank accounts. I don't remember any of them saying they were going to do this when they bought the clubs....

Aberdeen had five shots on target and Lennon Miller headed the first one off the line defending a corner about 55 minutes in. The second shot on target was the goal from a corner after an hour. Of the three saves he made I can think of two. The shot from outside the box which was straight at him and the shot from the right hand of the box which he saved at the near post. Neither were great saves. Add in his nonsense at the end of the game that almost gave away a goal and it was another joke performance from him.

I meant McGinn. I've never seen a player pass the straight to the opposition as much as he has over the past couple of months.

I think we will struggle to replace Mugabi and if you look he's started in 6/8 of our wins plus the games we have defended well at Ibrox, Celtic Park and Easter Road. I'm not going to miss reading the lazy stereotypes of "nice guy but has a mistake in him". SOD, McGinn and Casey all have far more mistakes this season. As for why he's so much nicer than Shane Blaney or Barry Maguire I'll leave that to the psychiatrists.....

The strange thing about this season is before the split we conceded 20 goals against the top 5 teams and 31 against the six teams outside the Euro spots. So 1.33 goals a game against the better teams and 1.72 goals a game against the bottom teams.

Looks like a red card from this angle.
