I do agree, I think these goals are inevitable and when we lose them the frustration will be apparent. I’m willing to give this an acceptable amount of time and as long as we remain safe from relegation then I’ll accept the style of play, but if we are sitting bottom or 2nd bottom of the league 3/4 of the way through the season, shipping ridiculous goals due to our limited defenders , due to a “project” by our manager, with what awaits the future of the club/staff/support, in the lower leagues then I doubt I’ll be as patient. I’m not entirely convinced this defensive set up / style, is necessary and there is an element of vanity project about it but I do like the attacking winger element of what I think he’s doing? anyway, it’s something different so we’ll see how it goes.

He’s all about load management. I hear him as when I sit watching TV at night over the weekend and I’m half way through a family bag of Doritos and large bag of minstrels, I too consider my load management. Sometimes I transition to the floor to enable me to use a quality counter press to complete the job in the final third.

Ok Motherwell, as patient as I am 🤣 Nothing more than a good win is acceptable. We are playing a mid table league 1 team. weve had a few games, we’ve seen a steady improvement, JBA should know what is working and what players have something about them. We “should” be miles ahead of stenny in fitness and ability, (and player numbers by all account) forget the plastic park, ability really should be the determining factor here. 3-0

Get in faddy!! I’ve been quite impressed by him tonight, he’s a bit of a Harry Paton upgrade with much better hair.

Well….. that was p1sh!! I only want to see a steady improvement each game and that first half wasn’t any better than Saturday’s. anyway, we’ll see how the 2nd half goes, wee need many more goal shoots!!

What height is connelly? Watching this he looks like a midfielder who’s replaced an injured goalie.

To be fair, he’s looked pretty good going forward the Longelo lad.

That’s been the only positive so far

Im just hoping the Peterhead players tire in the second half. Half of their team will have been working all day so I’m hoping they’ll wilt soon.

Jesus, that should have been 2-0

I will give this defensive situation and how the manager wants to play a bit of slack and try and be patient but that was a shocker of a goal to lose. It looked like u/12 defending.

I’ll miss tonight but it looks a really interesting team, gutted to miss it. really pleased to see connelly get a chance, I just hope to god he takes it and does well. We badly need a goalie who’s not a crock. mcghee long term injury? Thanks Kettlewell

I think that is a player who would fit reasonably well at us. I suppose it just depends if he wants to go from earning circa £10k a week to £2k a week. he may get some club in league 1 offering £5k plus. We just can’t compete with these teams unfortunately.

Big Cedric signs for Ipswich. Oh to have him in our defence again.

I agree completely. The stuff he gets is embarrassing. He’s been a target from day 1 of a certain element of our fans. Even when he was playing well. In 50yrs of going to games I’ve seen it all before unfortunately.

As much as i struggle to warm to Halliday, I have no doubts that he’s a good football player. I actually think he’d be excellent as an old style sweeper behind a good centre half. The issue is, we need to find a good centre half.

Yip, I went there today expecting exactly this. And boy was that delivered. Should be good to see the next game though as it should hopefully show us as fans, how the manager saw that game and what changes he makes. As long as I can see a steady improvement in each of these league cup games, I’ll be ok with that. But yes today was a tough watch. I don’t want to now comment on who I thought was rotten (there were a few) as I’ll be accused of being a panty wetter. lol

I’m hanging about waiting but there’s no 35 stone strongman shown up to lift me yet.

2 pay at the gate turnstiles open today…. Finally some common sense. Will head down and pay at the gate at 2.50….. oh the nostalgia

Another winger…… this is unreal!!!

Go’on the nippy winger

I was too young to remember Marinello with us unfortunately. I saw him a couple of times when he was at Hearts but he was done by then. A fantastic player for us on his day by all accounts. The Scottish George Best he was called when he went to Arsenal.

I had no idea we were playing this afternoon? Is this a behind closed doors thing?

The stars are aligning for me *wingers*🙏 just what I ordered, let’s hope he’s Johnny Gahagan esque

I really like that, I like the ravenscraig link but I agree the British steel discussion from earlier. But it is a nod to the area and our family members, who most of us all have, who have connections to working there. i like sky blue as well (much nicer than “petrol”blue imo) and it sits nicely with claret and amber. I also agree even as an old fella, I’d buy that if it had “we fkn hate thatcher” on it (as the main sponsor)
