There's some power of dross in this league, eh.

LIONEL ALERT I mind almost feeling sorry for the St Johnstone left back during this game because the guy couldn't have found Lionel with a map & a compass.

David Ferguson. Jones just about ended his career and he got hooked after about half an hour.

Signed him on loan, was massively better than what we had previously (not difficult), arguably kept us up. Signed him permanently, remained alright for a bit. Has regressed somewhat but probably not helped by the fucking clown show we're employing in front of him. However between last night and Saturday he's also donned his red nose and spinning bow tie, the fucking clown. He's got in the Scotland set up by being a. Scottish. and b. not 40 years old.

No shot would I be putting Butcher on that abomination of a park on Saturday. He broke himself on the shit Livingston one.

Also with everyone's confidence being shot to ribbons it's meaning nobody wants to take any sort of responsibility for anything. All 4 goals could have been avoided by someone, anyone, taking a bit of ownership. The third particularly as after Casey makes that last ditch tackle either Miller needs to boot that to f**k or Scotland International Liam Kelly needs to be coming out to claim that like a freight train. Instead we've got 11 hopeless cases staring at each other.

So I think I read somewhere that this series of Gen V is going to hand immediately off into the new series of The Boys and then hand immediately back to the next series of Gen V. I'm into it.

The referee was incredibly shit last night. The pedantry of moving back like a yard to take a throw in every time was murder. Though the highlight for me was giving a foul for two Aberdeen players cementing each other. However the referee was massively less shit than our team. Which is impressive, in a way.

That last night and about 85 minutes of Saturday has been complete fucking garbage. I think it's now becoming obvious that we need to change something fundamental. The 5-4-1 isn't working at all. We hooked Slattery & Mugabi at half time, and rightly so. The former put in arguably the worst performance in a Motherwell shirt he's had, the latter just doing his usual. You could have drawn names out a hat, but those two were particularly shit. Spencer at left back is torturing me as well. The guy simply does not have a left foot so moves are almost breaking down as he tries to shift it to his right foot. Stick him on the right and we'll work it out from there. And as for Liam Kelly? I hope he's got that cap framed because there's nae chance he's ever getting near another one. He should have done much, much better on Saturday and for that Duk header I've no idea what he was up to. I'm sitting in the Cooper stand and the entire time that ball was on its way into the box he looked like a lost boy.

Some laugh that. Promising start to the season, now we've got a back 5 that are on the glue.

I haven't seen enough of him to tell you if he's that good but I am certain his ankles are made out of Weetabix.

You are all dead to me if you don't vote SOD to be player of the month.

I'd like to see more of Wilkinson and I hope Arsenal give us a bit more playing time out of Biereth. Also regardless of match fitness just chuck Butcher in to that defence. Even if he can't move, having him shout at folk to remind them how to defend would improve us no end.

I'd be ok with this. Me and my pal were in stitches watching our entire team turning themselves inside out to try and get it onto their right foot to cross it.

The blind pressure of being under a ball like that is bad enough when you're playing 7s with your pals. But our Georgie crumpled like an empty packet of Walkers looking at that.

Just watched Sportscene and I'm doubling down on this. Gent for that third goal is honking the place out. Somehow managed to get to the ball first before throwing himself out the way.

In the ideal situation where everyone is fit it definitely goes: Biereth Wilkinson Obika Bair Ross Shaw No offence to him but if we had stuck an actual competition winner on the park they might have threatened to involve themselves.

I'm assuming Arsenal gave us a strict <15 minutes rule today as he came on with more or less that to go. If we can get to a stage we get 90 minutes out him regularly it'll be the methadone for my massive van Veen withdrawal.

Lads I'm starting to wonder if Oliver Shaw is not, in fact, the best young player in Europe.

I don't mind O'Donnell tbh. His use of the ball is always great even if he's not quite got the legs he used to. That and Gent's attempts at defending at Livi are giving me nightmares never mind him. Long term I'd be absolutely fine with Mugabi returning to the bench and getting Butcher in at centre half again. Hopefully Biereth gets himself fit as well.

If we're not using Well Society funds to have him Clockwork Oranged into throwing big fucking hammers about you really have to ask yourself what the point of this whole exercise is.

I wonder if he has regressed or if watching Chapman & Archer before him was just completely distorting our view on what a goalkeeper is supposed to do.

I do beg your pardon but I am in your garden.

Imagine we'd given them The Bair too.
