The manager was the defensive coach at Copenhagen before joining us, and was a centre half, so if he can’t sort it, nobody can. Let’s see how things go when it’s not 30 degrees on plastic. Not a great start, but still really early days. I can see Ward getting lobbed a few times if he plays that high up the pitch.

Ward is the backup keeper and has only just been given a new deal. Can’t see another keeper joining.

Exclusive: Motherwell agree deal to sign Birmingham defender Emmanuel Longelo Pete O'Rourke, Transfer CorrespondentWed 9 July 2025 8:28, UK Credit: Birmingham City/Getty Motherwell have agreed a deal to sign Birmingham City defender Emmanuel Longelo, sources have told Football Insider. The former West Ham youngster, 24, will join the Scottish Premiership club on a permanent deal. Sources have said that Longelo has agreed terms with Motherwell and will head up to Scotland to finalise the move. He was down the pecking order at Birminghamhaving spent last season out on loan at Cambridge United. Motherwell agree deal for West Ham academy product Longelo came through the academy at West Ham, joining at under-10 level and working his way through the ranks. In September 2020, the left-back made his senior debut for the Hammers during a 5-1 win against Hull City in the EFL Cup. MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES The 24-year-old made a permanent switch to Birmingham in January 2023 for a reported fee of £400,000. Last season, Longelo started just three League One games while out on loan with Cambridge, with much of his playing time coming at the start of the campaign. The Englishman is set to join a Motherwell side who appointed former IFK Göteborg head coach Jens Berthel Askou as their new manager last month. Longelo had a disappointing spell under Neil Harris at Cambridge

I actually see it as more of a 4-2-3-1, with the obvious back four, Watt and Miller, then Fadinger, Slattery and Maswanhise with AP up top. Could be completely wrong though!

SODs is murder at right back too. Terrible in any position.

SODs sells so many goals, I’m hoping MW tells him he isn’t going to be a first team starter next year, which may convince him to move on.

As much as SODs might be nice guy, and the players might like him as a person, the number of important goals he’s cost us over his time with the club is significant. Can’t believe he got another years contract. Hells bells.

There is no way the goalkeeper cannot see where the ball is going there and it doesn’t hit Casey. Absolute bullsh*t from VAR.

Can’t believe this is the only home game left this month. It feels like we’ve had a few months where we’ve hardly been at home this season.

Hakeem Odoffin would be my guess as he’s out of contract in the summer.

Robinson is so bad, it makes you wonder what he has on Kettlewell. His attempt at a cross when we had Tavares free at the back post was unforgivable. He literally had about a 10 yard gap to aim for and sclaffed it.

Theo Robinson and Jair Tavares are absolute imposters. Robinson is absolutely chronic at doing anything useful. Jair just looks like he can’t be bothered. Kettlewell killed our chances of winning by putting them on instead of Watt and Moses.

Yeah, his middle name is Jethro.

Connor Wilkinson freed by mutual consent already at Colchester.

Is that not what I said. Not a great start, and will take time to get up to speed. Performances have been largely poor so far. Folk arguing with me when everything I’ve said is correct. Gies peace man.
