well fan for life

Clark is absolutely nowhere near it. I don't think he's any better/worse than Kelly which isn't exactly a compliment. The first I can forgive because the deflection would make it difficult for any keeper in the world to get near. The second and third are completely hopeless, though. The drop in standard from Robertson/Hickey to Taylor/Patterson is like a cliff edge as well. On the third goal as well. I never noticed at the time as I was in the back row up at the other end but looking at the highlights Christie should be absolutely clearing the wide player out instead of shitting out of the tackle. Clark's then cuddling his near post and Patterson is *maybe* unlucky with the slip but should surely be aware of where the goalscorer was before then.

The drop off between Gunn and whoever gets the shirt is quite something. I'd probably take Gordon with one leg over either of Clark or Kelly.

I like this idea. The solution to our full back problems is to play more full backs.

If McKinstry wasn't a Motherwell fan there's no chance anyone would care this much. He was fine but in the same bucket of middling wingers we've had over the years. And you don't see many folk longing for Jermaine Hylton. Gboly Ariyibi gets a pass. Loved that guy.

Did he not absolutely fucking hate it here?

Get his rehab done and loan him to Newcastle for a fee.

Lets be honest, unless Saturday ends up in double figures it's more or less meaningless. If we lose to Dundee that's when I wonder if it becomes untenable. Although as has been stated, binning a manager every 8 months isn't exactly sound business practice.

If we're yearning for Lamie, Maguire and Tierney I think we just chuck it now lads.

Watching the highlights there. The first goal is par for the course at this point, free header from a corner again. Nice flick from Shankland to poke it in though. The second is something that happened multiple times where Hearts just strode through the middle of the park without having to try. Butcher over commits but the rest of our team are too stupid/lazy/disinterested to cover him. Fair play to Shaw getting the penalty from a volley that was landing in Tim Hortons, though.

The difference in how much more comfortable Spencer looks on the right is staggering. Surely it's worth giving him and Gent a go at some point ffs. What we're seeing is the accumulation of how badly run we are as a club. We've let a number of crucial roles in running any sort of company go and done hee haw to replace them. You can't let your CEO go, botch the replacement process and then name a guy as interim that we hear bugger all from. Lasley leaving at the same time as a guy who seemingly held squads together also doesn't help. We could sack Kettlewell but we've tried that 3 times in the past few years and it's papered over the cracks. It's simply unsustainable.

See when your only idea is to bring Bevis on as a striker, you are surely in the end of days. Another free header in the box conceded and the second is just waltzing through midfield without being impeded at all.

We really are stinking. Looked like we've been playing with 10 men all day.

Genuinely a horrible, horrible, horrible thing to watch. Boyata played on in that game as well after the physio took a wee look at him. I'm no a rugby fan by any stretch but we're lightyears behind them when it come to concussion/head injuries. The HIA protocol substitution really does seem to be the bare minimum we should have implemented by now.

Someone in the club media must fucking hate Oli Shaw because that hard cut to the away end giving him pelters is tremendous.

I refer you to this previous statement:

Glad we don't need to win any of these games with that selection of keepers.

Gent's definitely got big question marks over his defending but the cross for the goal is a peach. And, no harm to Spencer, but that goal simply doesn't happen with him on the left as he'll dig himself into a hole trying to get that onto his right foot. I've watched that Shaw stumble a few times and honestly it's embarrassing. One simple pass and Bair's got a tap in. Or even if he'd got a fucking shot away I could forgive him a bit. The guy is up there with our worst signings in recent years and that's a hell of a contest.

Might turn up wearing a bright orange t-shirt with JUST STOP OLI on it to get my point across.

I think sample size is the only reason I haven't picked him as the worst. He was hopeless, aye. But we only had 6 appearances out of him. Samson actively being made number 1 boils my piss big time.

A true Brexit tackle. Maybe he was worth the transfer fee we got for him after all.

Meldrum was shit, but Samson *repeatedly* parrying the ball straight at onrushing forwards had my blood pressure up at fire hydrant levels. Still fucking raging watching this:

Hard disagree. Kelly has, to be fair to him, been very good at times. It's latterly he's been dugmeat. It's still a toss up between Craig Samson & Gunnar Nielsen for the worst I've ever watched. Hopeless b*****ds.

Someone set a reminder to check the Bradford forums in about 6 months time.

Nah. We're run exclusively by vibes and currently they are bad.

Kelly's been quite shite recently but that today is new levels of it. Absolutely fucking hopeless.
