Good job we didnt sign 11 aussies, we would have a 5 a side team!! Just waiting on big jake getting injured next

Without changing how we play now would be a decent time to move to a back 3 

 

That would enable longelo and sparrow to push further up 

 

think this could help both our defensive and attacking shortcoming

Often when things are not going well in a workplace, employees take more sick time off. Could that be an issue here? Not saying it is; just playing devil's advocate. Maybe if a player is 50/50 just now he'll be less motivated than if we were on a good run.

I would have thought the medical team would be all over that.

Different with illness. But with muscular injuries there will be scans and data to inform the situation.

Stamatelopoulos used that exact approach very well during his best forgotten spell at Fir Park Dave and i suspect Hendry might be doing the same.

If that was case pal Maswanhise would have a 6 month line 🤣🤣

Apparently, if some players are carrying a knock they'll play through the pain barrier whilst others won't. I think it was either Steven Pressley or Tony Doherty who said that.

A Dundee supporting friend says he was highly thought of at Dens Park. A very committed player, who would run through a brick wall for the team.

I worked with a boy who’s sister is married to Luke shaw 

players down tools more than you would imagine from his stories ( my head office is Wilmslow home of the stars before it’s called out 😂 )

Think there’s certainly a few at Motherwell than can go up the gears

Its a broad comment about footballers in general. It goes on.

And to be honest, the ones who do are eejits, because they can end up doing themselves all sorts of long term damage.
