We are playing better now, they don’t look brilliant so we might have a chance.

Gash Taylor strikes again

This game is 50/50, I think we can get a draw after 90 minutes. Provided Ash Taylor does not feature that is.

I will be watching their games for the next while to see how he gets on.

Well we bought 90 million of them. They have to be used up.

I don't need a vaccine as I'm not ill and never have been. However it looks as if we will all be forced to take one anyway. Public places will then operate a traffic light system so anyone who has refused the vaccine will be barred from entering, only those who have had the vaccine will get the green light. These are weird times and I do believe most of the statistics we are being bombarded with are made up. For what purpose is not yet clear.

Finalising the transfer seems to be dragging on a bit.

Time for your medication and a lie down.

There's no way we can go with Taylor. Yesterday proved that beyond doubt. We need to make a signing, I'm sure Cormack can spare a small percentage of the transfer fee, otherwise we will be plummeting down the league.

Aye good luck to him. If he can stay injury free, he will be a star. Let's not forget McInnes only used him when forced to, also after a 3-0 defeat by Motherwell. He was only on the fringes until that debacle. It's sad to see him go but he is too good for us. I'm quite amazed that no team in the top league in England is willing to take a chance on him, especially after McGinn's success at Villa, and also Tierney now at Arsenal.

Well Steve Clarke agrees. He picks him every game, unlike £25m pound man Tierney. It's just because of the club he plays for. Celtic tried a similar tactic to their bid for John McGinn with us, making an insulting lowball offer. After it was turned down, the Celtic supporters all turned on him, hence the heavy and OTT criticism he gets for the Scotland games. They also turned on Tierney. Pay no attention. McKenna is a brilliant defender, as epitomised by our pub league defending yesterday.

Anderson was next in line but ultimately failed in England, mainly due to injury but still. McKenna has the raw aggression needed to succeed. Give it a few months and Forest will realise what they have.

The sell on clause is key, I don't see him being at Nottingham Forest for too long once the English wake up to the fact they have signed the best young defender in Scotland. He will get a big move to the EPL in 2-3 years maximum. He was the best young defender we had since Willie Miller.

Was an awful performance but hopefully a one off. Really it was just a bad half hour. Motherwell caught us sleeping. Quite why Lewis played the 2nd goal first time is beyond me. He could easily have taken a touch and played it out without issue.

He's been superb recently. A bargain for Nottingham Forest.

I just want good defenders. Taylor should be forcibly given a crew cut by the club. He looks like he doesn’t want to mess his hair up when he makes his half hearted attempts at clearances. Anyway I’d prefer Findlay. We should make a bid for him ASAP.

That doesn’t bother me but I take your point. He served his time for it so he’s good to go.

Not really. He is a good player and did have a good game but all 3 goals were stupid mistakes, not from Motherwell playing through us. They put us under early pressure and we crumbled. Taylor almost gave away a penalty after 10 seconds.

Well he played well today, and a thug is what we need, as that’s what we’ve lost in McKenna.

Were we? Again, you must have been watching a different game. Motherwell were in cruise control after 10 minutes of the game. They attacked us from the start because McKenna was missing and we crumbled. If we can't get Findlay we should consider bidding for Gallacher as he is Motherwell's best player.

The game was over after 9 minutes. None of the players played well today, but particularly shocking and culpable was Taylor. He was terrible the first time we signed him, he's still terrible now. I never seen McCrorie making any difference in the 2nd half but maybe you watched a different game.

£4m according to Nottingham Forest. Plus a hefty sell on clause. He will do well in England, he's a great defender. I'm surprised teams in the Premier League were not looking at him.

We need to replace McKenna quickly if he leaves. Findlay from Kilmarnock would be ideal.

The 3 changes were the 3 players who came off at HT. McKenna being replaced you can understand but Ojo and Mcginn were unnecessary.

He’s made no difference whatsoever.
