wee toon red

Kelle Roos is back… In the SPFL with Killie.

I saw Derek Rae on twitter saying that Gisdol also likes his teams to "counter-press". I'm not hugely up to date with the tactical speak these days but it sounds very much like "counter-press" involves getting the ball back quickly when the other team has it? If so, that's not going to work against the teams that like to sit in a frustrate us, we've been down that road too many times already and must know that it isn't the way we need to play.

Seems like Celtic are hedging their bets. Must mean there’s at least a possibility of him going somewhere that isn’t Motherwell.

Online clowns lashing out at everything and anything out of frustration at how poor we've been. Chairman, captain, (ex) manager, goalie and now CEO all getting it in the neck because social media allows morons an outlet to spout the pish that in the past would only have had an audience of three men and a dog in the pub. It's one thing to criticise players and managers for their performance but when it turns to off the field figures' personal lives then it's a grim state of affairs.

I don't see signing Welsh as desperation at all. He's a good age, coming into his peak years, Scottish and performing well in our division. He's exactly the type of signing we should be making.

Oh absolutely, I didn’t mean you. I said to my pal that brother Beaton would never over-rule. Wonders will never cease.

You can see where Lutz is coming from when he says we’ve got a squad of decent individuals who haven’t been signed to make a team. None of them are terrible in isolation and many of them would be better in a well-functioning team.

Anyone who claims that wasn’t a foul on Mitov is either a hun or posting to fit their pre-conceived agenda. Much like Tuesday, there’s something in this game for us if we can find a wee bit of composure and stop giving away stupid goals.

P&J saying that Yengi will be away in Jan, most likely back to English league one on loan unless an Asian club stumps up for his wages on a permanent deal. milanovic also keen on going out on loan, whereas Clarkson might stay now because he did well under Leven last time around.

You specifically said he’d “used up his credit”. The first poster said his mistakes now have “far outweighed” his performance in the cup final. Maybe clowns and roasters was a bit harsh but I find it incredible that people hold such an opinion and aren’t just lashing out in frustration and looking for a handy scapegoat. Our centre backs have been absolutely rank for most of this season, that’s never going to help a keeper perform at their best.

The guy is the absolute star man in our biggest achievement in 35 years and we've got at least two folk on here (and Lord knows how many clowns on social media) who think a few months of poor performances have tarnished that? For a fan base that prides itself on being so good at backing the team, we really do have just as big a percentage of roasters as every other club.

Chucking Clarkson in just because he's "good" is exactly the type of thing Lutz meant when he said we've got lots of good individual players but they don't fit together as a team. It would be super if we had a squad set up to accommodate a player of Clarkson's style and ability but I'm not sure that we do, hence why he's being left out a lot.

I know we’ve not been great but we’ve created enough to have got something out of this. Their goals were two horrendous set pieces but other than that they’ve rarely threatened.

Our intent and work rate has been much improved. Sadly our defending and attacking have remained garbage.

I got the licence out a lucky bag in 1993. Think of the formation as a 4-1-4-1 as that’s what it’ll be when we don’t have the ball.
