Which is why they're likely enjoying watching the Motherwell fanbase lose their shit over our current plight less than ten games into the season. It provides an opportunity for them to point and say "Ah, you were lucky last year! JBA is obviously a great manager, and you lot just lucked out in getting him. We were correct though, and the answer is to end this silly 'experiment' with the foreigner who has never played the game and get back to reality!"

And this is why I would love AJ to succeed. He has a lot on his plate at the moment and Saturday is an important game to try to  reverse our setbacks. Let's hope he can reflect on what hasn't worked and make the necessary changes.

Fortunately Rugby Park has reverted to grass so we have no excuses in that regard.

The Motherwell fanbase hasnt lost its shit though?

There are some dissenting voices, sure. But it was always thus.

What there has been is vigorous and open debate about our current shortcomings and what can be improved upon to get better results.

Any organisation that has a desire to improve needs that. Just nodding and pretending everything is fine never helped anyone.

Yes, I noticed that..........

Thanks for the liquid amber.

Let's keep ingesting them together  to avoid  a glitch in the space-time continuum.

"Claret , amber, colours true:  far ahead of green and blue", after all.

Ahoo! Werewolves of London!

Watched SOD's interview and thought it was very good and interesting how he finds AJ more approachable than Jens.

Peter Martin again like a dug with a bone with the questions but I thought SOD handled it perfectly

wonder what SOD would have thought about McLean back in the day. 

JBA did have that side of 'don't pi%% me about'.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it but for me SOD’s comments about finding Alfred more approachable than JBA are a bit concerning and supports the worry about him not having that leadership and presence. A soft touch perhaps. Last week you had Longelo walking away while he was trying to talk to him and others, that 100% would not have happened with Askou.
