Cove 2 - 1 up at St J. Actually final score...

You're not wrong

I might be wrong, but weren't we on more points by this time last season, than the champions elect.

Motherwell draw with champions elect, Hearts. From my listening to it, very much should have been a Motherwell win.

Watched the Motherwell v Hearts game. Although not as exciting as the six goal thriller they shared earlier in the season but a decent enough watch nonetheless One win in five for the all conquering champions elect Also a big win for Dundee today St Mirren spiralling down the table. Anyone still fancy Robinson as our next manager

There's a big difference between guys like McKenna and Marshall though. I was very much calling for both Milne and Lobban to get minutes well before they were given them (including questioning the signing of Jensen when Lobban was clearly playing well). Lobban is a no brainer, because fullback is a good position to bring a player through in. Centre half is also just a case of having the physical side (if you're good enough), which is why Milne and McKenna proved capable. The problem I have with Marshall is the athleticism side. You've got to be able to the yards in central midfielder (Aouchiche covers a lot of ground for example), or you have to be strong or otherwise very talented. There aren't many 19 year olds I'd have starting centrally for us - Lewis Ferguson being the exception, and the sort of level you'd need to be playing. I'm not averse to him coming back and getting minutes, but we're a midfielder short, and it needs to be one who can do the yards. Marshall seems to me to be the wrong type of midfielder for now, and we might be better offering him a new deal and integrating in the summer once we get some bodies out the door (if we think he's going to be good enough). I'm skeptical he's got the physical attributes, basically, but he has time on his side.

Frame will not see a first team game for Aberdeen Away in January

We’ve spunked a fair few pounds on players not good enough. I’d be giving first team time to look at Marshall frame Belalovic and kjarten to see if they are any good before bringing too many more in. fwiw McKenna was mediocre on loan at ayr and only got into our first team initially due to injury/suspension, they rest is history. You have to look and see what you have.

Another goal for Marshall today The downside is that he'll be cup tied

I think there’s room to be a bit braver introducing young players to the first team. Dylan Lobban is 20, if we’d given him a chance this time last year, we could have saved over half a million on Jensen. I’d rather give Marshall the 2nd half of the season than sign another midfielder unless we sign someone proven/known like Watson from Killie. Even then I’d still prioritise kicking the tyres on Marshall over hoping Aouchiche produces more to justify a £1.5m price tag.

I was thinking Nick Blackman, but of course, it was Curtis Main. We can speak about getting players in for a specific position, the difficulty is finding the right player. Even with a decent budget, for our level, we are still shopping in the reduced to clear section in the transfer market, with the added handicap of every player needing to be a project player. Hopefully Lutz starts to earn his corn quickly in his new role, but our issue is that so many clubs are doing the same thing, making it even harder to find a gem in amongst the shyte. Rico doesn't agree, but I'd rather we took back the lad at Arbroath and give him a chance, but only if he will get meaningful game time. He'd may as well stick with Arbroath if we only want to dick him around, like the other you g lads we bought in the summer.

I think if he keeps Motherwell playing the way they are and in the upper reaches of the league, I suspect he will have a few suitors come the summer. It's a big if though, as still a lot of games to play and yet to go through the obligatory stick spell.

Well get one made then!

If Jimmy went, that would be my suggestion too.

Ah - my mistake. Thought I was making a cultural faux pas by rehashing AbMad tropes!! You know, the snake mountain/Moncler/buttery type debates. That said, the lack of a limerick thread is making me a wee bit nostalgic for the completely dysfunctional site that AbMad became!
