Callum Paterson back playing again for Cardiff, would imagine he might come into the reckoning for next months games if he does well there, can play both Right back and up front which have been 2 problem positions for us.

How about Stephen Craigan? Did a great job with the youths at Fir Park, has coached with Northern Ireland youth sides and being a former player I thought he might have been mentioned.

We could lessen the impact of our smaller budget by having an artificial pitch.
Yet to see a good game on an artificial pitch so no thanks, I also heard talk Les Hutchison looked into that when he first came in and was quoted nearly £2 million for it due to the slope we have and is far cheaper to go with the superb grass we have now.

There's yer Scott Mullen tweeting. "Understood" Aldred, McHugh and Gorrin all away. Wee Al has been offered a new deal.
Presumably that's in addition to (at least) Main. No great surprises there other than Campbell being offered a new deal. I'm 1,000,000% on board with it but given he's still got 2 years on his current one it's good news he's being "rewarded" (should he choose to sign).
I had actually meant to say after listening to the Mo Ross interview, one of the consistent highlights recently has been hearing the coaching staff lose their shit about how great Campbell is.
Not a great surprise at those leaving and no doubt a good few more to follow them as well. Declan Gallagher coming you could say is probably a replacement for Aldred.

A Thistle supporting pal described Carroll to me last night as "Average-poor, a slightly less injury prone ATS".
So that's exciting.
In honesty it sounds like for like with ATS, a squad player who's a natural left back without the knees made of wet cardboard. It allows Tait to revert back to RB but isn't necessarily going to block Livingstone getting in the side. It might even mean Livingstone can get a 6 month loan or something with Tait still an option for LB.
I mean, going by the reviews from Cambridge fans it's a pretty fucking low bar for Livingstone to clear if he wants to get in the first team.
Having had a nose about Hartlepool's forum while it's hardly glowing there are a few "there's a player there", "had ability"-type posts going on re: Carroll.
Edit: By my count, based on the players we've got contracted this leaves us about 6 bodies short (5 if Fané signs up) and tbh I still don't have a clue where Donnelly's supposed to fit.
GK: Gillespie / Carson / Ferguson
RB: Tait / Grimshaw
CB: Gallagher / Maguire / (Donnelly)
CB: Dunne / Hartley
LB: Carroll / Livingstone
CM: Campbell / ?
CM: ? / ?
CM: Turnbull / Polworth
FW: ? / Semple
FW: Scott / Johnson
FW: ? / ?Donnelly can also play at right back and actually played as a holding midfielder with Northern Irelands under 21 side, next season will be make or break for him with us.

Turnbull now the 4th top scorer in the league with 12 goals, overtaking James Forrest of Celtic who has 11. Some going for a 19 year old kid who we put into the team back in October and he hasn't looked back since.

It's just a tone thing really.
In other news...who's our number 34? Doesn't show in either the first team or reserves list (I'm guessing it's one of the new Academy group who have been featuring for the reserves recently).
Wondered that myself earlier then someone told me its the young centre half David Devine.

Speaking of the famous Well Fans II and also by Viva Motherwell on twitter, there's a rumour apparently floating about that Hearts are showing an interest in Curtis Main.

Hartley has never been the same player since his injury last year and doesn't partner well with Aldred. I expect he'll be off in the summer along with Main, Hastie, Aldred, Sammon McCormack and Johnson, whom I all expect to move on. This summer will be a massive job to rebuild the squad after last summer's disaster and will be massive for Robinson to get it right because a repeat of summer 2018 for him will see him on borrowed time.
The work has already began, Robinson is quoted as saying in an article by Graham Speirs at the weekend that he has 2 new players signed for the summer on minimal money, again I think that's to downplay the kind of budget he has to other clubs, it would certainly be interesting to know who the 2 players are, one possibly the boy Gallagher from Livingston, arguably may be Aldred's replacement if he isn't staying put.

Semple for the first team...
https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2019/03/18/reserves-come-back-to-beat-kilmarnock/
He's another youngster out of Contract at the end of the season according to the official website, I'd sign him up just now to avoid another Hastie like scenario.

It was interesting reading a quote from Robinson in an article at the weekend which was shared by Graham Speirs on Twitter In which Robbo is quoted as saying he has already got 2 players coming in to join us in the summer, be interesting to know who they are, one may of course be the boy Gallagher of Livingston who we were rumoured to have offered a pre contract for.

Come on it’s the sun, there is no quotes and a lot of If’s in the article.
Could end up being true but I will wait until a better source and article says so.Darrell Currie of BT sport has also tweeted about Hastie tonight as well so I reckon there might be something in it, hope not though.

Great to see our young talents being recognised, cant remember the last time we ever had 4 players in one squad, only thing that can top this off for me now would be Hastie signing his new contract.

So are we getting Rossiter now?
No he signed for Bury on loan yesterday for the rest of the season

Daily reporting no more business expected from us, so looks like we go with what we have till the summer.

I see Jordan Rossiter who had previously been mentioned on here is joining Bury on loan for the rest of the season, Gerrard confirmed tonight he has been down there all day and the deal is 99% done.

See, I may be misremembering but I thought Killie fans were of the opinion that McCulloch was a decent enough coach who just didn't really work out as first team manager.
The impression I get with the whole pathway thing up to the u20s/Reserves is that we're keen for whoever we appoint to be someone who has come through the Academy (or YTS as it was) or at the very least "knows" the club. If that's the case (and I may well be wrong) then it's a pretty limited field.
I may just be jumping to conclusions since Craigan and McManus were the previous coaches but given McCulloch made 147 appearances for us and went on to be a Scotland international and has some management experience then seeing as we were interested in him for the role he fits that sort of mould.
Ultimately I guess if we're trying to pitch the club to kids/parents then rightly or wrongly having known faces in those coaching roles is probably going to be viewed as a selling point along with our "Elite" status.
Seeing as his assistant manager role with Scotland is a pretty part-time gig I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we ended up giving it Faddy 'til the end of the season.
That's true as well, I noticed the Sun breaking the news a wee while ago that they think Maurice Ross is now set to get the job having gone through some coaching session with McCulloch in front of senior management and Robinson chose him, how true that is I don't know but made for interesting reading.

Total lies from me...he does mention ATS. He's broken...again.
Edit: In other news it looks like McCulloch's patching us to take a coaching role at United. To date, the assailant remains at large etc.
Back to the drawing board on that one eh? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Motherwell_F.C._players
Quite happy about that one to be honest, had my reservations about McCulloch after his disaster at Killie, however I get the reserves job is totally different from first team level.
Would hope they get a replacement in fairly quick as reserves due to start back v Hamilton next week.

Please take Sammon, the guy is utter gash and would definitely find his level in the championship as that's where you'd go signing a striker like him

Daily Record running with the story that we are in talks with Maurice Ross over a coaching role to replace either McManus or Craigan.
