In fairness to Robson he's not been able to play the same defence twice in a row once since he came in. As such given Mcrorie and scales are available it is quite difficult to predict how we will set up. Tough game against a tough opponent but at least we are at home

Oh aye, they got the better part of 20 mill when they sold hickey

Ultimately this is still just paper talk. Given burrows still isn't even in the door yet and colgate is on a sick note we are unlikely to see any movement on a new manager until we are a week into March at the earliest.

Ricardo rodriguez being linked according to the p+j. Bit of a curve ball, Spanish coach who's been managing in Asia for the better part of the last decade. Reasonable pedigree and this is what he did at his last job After successfully having guided Vortis to the first-ever J2 title, it was announced he will join Urawa Red Diamonds for the 2021 season.[19] At the end of his first season he was considered the most valued coach in the JLeague "for the impact on the club and the game changer of Urawa Reds" by recovering the competitive spirit of the team. At the end of the season, the was declared the best coach of the J1 League, and also he won the Emperor's Cup.[20] Weeks later, Ricardo Rodríguez further strengthened his project at the helm of Urawa Red Diamonds by winning the Japanese Super Cup against the JLeague champions, Kawasaki Frontale, and became the first Spanish coach to win the Emperor's Cup and the Japanese Super Cup.[21] At the end of the season 2022, Ricardo Rodríguez decided to call time on his successful tenure at Urawa Red Diamonds to embark on new professional challenges after leading the team to the AFC Champions League final and glory in the Emperor's Cup and the Japanese Super Cup.

Tommy Wright now favourite for Motherwell.

According to the fucking Sun apparently Wilder has now ruled himself. Not even remotely fussed 2bh, if he did come and and performed well he would be gone pretty quickly. Cormack has gone back to the states too so I think it's becoming ever more likely Robson and Agnew have it to the end of the season. I can live with that, they seem safe hands for now.
-
I don't disagree he's been inconsistent but you could argue that was a squad problem during the previous regime. It will be interesting to see what kind of role he plays for the rest of the season. Now he's signed a new contract with boro we might see mckenzie starting over him perhaps.

He did well when he came on for Hayes on Saturday 2bf

I've always had love for Serie A. I'm of the football Italia generation but even if I wasn't it's such a bonkers league I would have to have got involved at some point anyway. I also have soft spot for La Viola (ah, Batigol) but they have been very disappointing domestically this season despite reasonable investment. Obviously keeping an eye on Bologna and it's been pleasing to see ferguson get so much game time. Napoli are just something else and have been such a fun team to watch. looking at the CL draw to my uneducated eye the only teams they need to be wary of are Madrid, City and psg. They have serie a wrapped up though so can focus on the CL to no adverse affect league wise. I would love them to do it, the seethe from Abu Dhabi and Qatar at a team like Napoli coming out of nowhere to scoop what they have long pursued would be fucking hilarious.

I don't disagree Motherwell are honking but that has nothing to do with the way we applied ourselves. One of the reasons Motherwell were so honking is because we outfought them. Combine that with how structured the defence looked I would say that's quite a big step forward from where we were against Darvel, hibs and hearts. I certainly don't have the same fear of the San giro next week as I did yesterday
-
Noice, what odds did you get on that?
-
We have been excellent all over the park here. I think I'm sold actually. We should give Robson and Agnew until the end of the season and if they get us into Europe (which is massively back on the cards if we continue to play like this) they should be serious contenders for the permanent position.
-
Now, I know it's motherwell whom have been awful but I can't help but have a wee wry smile on my face at the mo. It turns out this is what sorting a defence out in a week looks like.
-
Calm down, there is no danger colgate is hiring Hughes. Hughes isn't wrong to say he sets up to play good football but the reason he's oow, and has been for a while, is that he has no plan B whatsoever.
-
Solid first half. I tell you what, that's the first time I've seen us do the basics well in god knows how long.
-
The angles really shit, i think if you see that from behind dunne it would probably be given as a foul on Mcrorie. If you watch it back Mcrorie's arm is just reaching it's fullest upward running movement as dunne moves his arms out toward him. Mcrorie moves his elbow up to try and get it over dunnes arm and shoulder, cos he's trying to get past him to continue his run, and dunnes momentum takes his head into it. It's completely instinctive from Mcrorie and never a foul to my eye. I will concede I had to watch it multiple times and do a phoenix from the flames like recreation with my jambo neighbour to come to this conclusion though.
-
Agreed. It's a big fat no from me on Michniewicz
-
Was he ever off it?

My biggest take from this game is that the new cbs did awfully well given they only met each other for the first time yesterday. Add into that that the defensive plan they set up with went out the window after 5 minutes. At the very least they look competent. Dare I say it but we may actually start seeing clean sheets again at some point this season if they gel. I missed the start of the game but I hear we started with a back 3? Delay in subs was surprising to say the least. It reeks of lack of decisiveness and that seems very un Barry Robson. It seems even more odd given Robson had been talking about the need for more energy in his presser. He gets a hall pass on the loss given the 97 minutes of playing with 10 men but not on waiting so long to freshen things up. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Robsons presser is worth a watch on rtv, thought he spoke really well

Oh I gave up letting Aberdeen football club ruin my day a long time ago. It's not like I don't care but at the end of the day it's just football. We have three utterly humiliating results in a row but, literally, no-one has died as a result. Stay strong MBT and if you ever need an ear drop me a private message anytime.
