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.

Schrodingers Big Al

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.

Thankfully not

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

Trawling the depths there manc

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.

It's been one of the mast rapid fall from graces I've ever seen 2bh. We got soooooo bad so quickly. During the world cup I thought we just needed another defender and a rb to be in good shape squad wise. The capitulation to the huns was where the wheels started falling off to my eye. Even just drawing that game could have made such a huge difference to where we are now. As for how i am feeling? Worried to be honest. We have landed ourselves in a right pickle and I'm really dreading the rest of the season. A European place seems a hell of an ask right now as well.

It's mental. Going in to the WC we were in a pretty decent place all things considered and but a few months we are a bona fide basket case.

I don't see why not

Suuuuuuuuure you could.

Literally no defensive option bar Coulson
