Carson hasn’t signed a new contract, has he? He signed a 3 year deal when he joined in Summer 2017 i.e. till 2020.

I agree to a point, but we are Motherwell; there is a big chance we didn’t get any of our first choice signing targets. We should have still done better, but it’s a delicate balance that can easily tip the wrong way with a few mistakes.

If we are relying on Curtis Main & Ryan Bowman to score us the goals to get us out of this predicament then we are doomed as both are incapable of scoring 15 goals in this league. As it stands, big Curtis couldn’t hit a barn door! I’ve also no idea why we insist on prioritising crosses as he can’t header for toffee. Worst timer of a jump for a stricken that I have ever seen! We are in big big trouble.

Surely it is 3-5-2 with the players he’s got in the first 11. Aldred-Hartley-Dunne as a back 3.

At Oldham and Motherwell.......what’s the definition of stupidity again?

Safe to say, I too am becoming a bit fed up with our manager and our team. Robinson could actually get us relegated unless he addresses the squad deficiencies in January (which I doubt).

He’s a right back is he not?

Let’s be honest, there were no ‘easy ‘ ties with the various teams left. Ayr and St.Johnstone were the best draws, but there are no guarantees we would have beaten anyone; however on recent cup form, I fancy us against anyone but Celtic.

Hibs also have 16,000 season tickets to our 4,000, so are not a barometer for our success; they are a much bigger city club.

Eh, good examples.........both got relegated!?!

Jesus wept. Donnelly and Dunne give cover for Right Back/Left Back and McHugh is seen as a midfielder by himself and his manager.........your comment is like stats i.e. skewed to try and support your argument. Mbulu will also be going into the Reserves in the first instance and may never play in the first team. The people moaning now would be the same people moaning if we lots two Centre Backs to long term we injury and had no cover. How about we just wait and see how the first 5-6 games go before rushing to chastise a manager who has delivered relative success for our budget!

I’m sorry, but in my opinion that is nonsense. We can, and have played 5-3-2 or 3-5-2 depending on which way you look at it, we can and have played 4-4-2 or 4-3-3. We can also play 4-2-3-1 if we wanted to with Frear, Turnbull, Cadden. Admittedly we are a bit short if Frear or Cadden get injured; but certainly can play a variety of formations and personnel.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

See if you are going to come out with pish, at least get your facts right........Robinson has never managed Carlisle!

What paper was that in?

Should have checked the reserve squad, it is Jason Krones.

Who is the ginger lad in the background in these photo? It doesn’t look like Danny Johnson or Liam Brown. Am I forgetting someone?

Hearts new players looked the part today.....it is going be a right good league this year.

I’m certainly not saying he should get punted, just that he is chronic at the moment. Looks like the player that Portsmouth fans warned us about. Hopefully he rediscovers his early form with us.

Yet again yesterday, I thought he was absolutely honking. He has been absolute murder since the Scottish Cup semi-final and is going backwards at a rate of knots. He only scored yesterday cause the ball hit him in the face without him knowing too much about it. His shots from a good position all ended up high wide and handsome.

Do none of you remember that Dunney was crap first few weeks, but look how he turned out........players that come from the National League need time to adjust to the pace of the Scottish game. Same goes for Gorrin.

Well said. Just because they are our young players, does not automatically mean they should be in the team, unless their training and match play deserves it. He and the management team see them in training every day. None of the keyboard managers do! Campbell made it into the team despite being young, because his play merited it! If Robinson didn’t like young players, Campbell wouldn’t have made it into the team. Simples. The truth is that none of the current crop are good enough.......YET.

I’m not moaning about the result, just stating an observation that Main looks to be going backwards.

We have to hope Johnson steps up to the plate, however we have seen it before with National League players; they tend to take 2-3 months to get up to Scottish Premiership pace, and some don’t manage the step up at all!

The form of Curtis Main is more worrying, he seems to be going backwards fast. Spends more time grappling with defenders than he does actually shooting. He was lucky the goallie threw his shot in against Edinburgh City or else his entire pre-season would have been a blank so far. He’s been honking!
