Great win today. Could have been more than 2. But with a new CF coming in along with the young Leicester player Dodoo will be ideal.

We will create a ton of chances but need to take them and we could sail to wins over most in the league.

But Clint Hill needs, absolutely needs to start the next game. Think every Bear watching today knows exactly why. Be nice to see how Lee Hodson plays as well, better defender than Tavernier.

Also I would say a first choice centre back must be priority, same old same, looked really comfortable on the ball, sometimes to comfortable, if Motherwell had a finisher they would have won that game.

So I'm going to say this for the umpteenth time we need to scrap the Wilson and Kiernan partnership, it's quite a bad Achilles heel to have. Bring in hill for experience and a solid centre back that can defend first and foremost.

On the bright side I thought, Windass looked the part as did Niko, I think Niko will just get better and better.
Some of the players I have slagged off a wee bit did well also and that was Wes, TaV.

We are certainly not at this stage good enough yet to challenge but when you stick our new arrivals on and when there fit we will look better more street wise, Barton, rossister and Niko is the best midfield 3 in Scotland,
But the games not all about midfield we need be more ruthless and more solid, only quality additions will do, as I have given up on Wilson and Keirnan. It's the same old same, I don't know who's worse probably Keirnan, it amazes me how bad he is at clearing the ball as a defender over 6,2.

If we continue our way off playing, which I think is still the best and most entertaining way in Scotland we need that back door shut. I'm hoping a good centre back gets brought in to partner hill, and a good finisher gets brought in to bag 30 plus a season. If mcpartland can get that sorted I'm confident.

Obviously we're signing Joe Dodoo on a 4 year deal, that could be a solution. And supposedly maybe another striker.

But it's the defence that falls short, if we can get someone in that could partner Hill I would be delighted. We should rip up the Wison and Keirnan partnership.

How many mistakes is it going to take, or how many goals or times of unessesery pressure does it take to know we need both out, and let's try another pairing.

We've had quite a while to get a First Choice CB in. Imagine the Mariappa deals off. A fully fit Louis Molt could've had a hat trick today. Quite a few teams in the league have genuine goal scorers.

The way Warburton has spoken of Keirnan in the past makes you think he's going to stick with him. If it's him and Hill, think very few fans would think that combination is good enough.

Going forward we surpass any team in the league. Anyone watching today would say our attacking play is unlike anything seen in Scotland for a while.

Dodoo will add a lot to the squad but another centre foward has to be a given before the window closes and will likely be a free or a loan deal which most would accept.

That defence though. Surely MW has something up his sleeve. Saying the defensive side of our game needs improving is more than an understatement.
