Pedro has to sort out the left side.  Tav/Candeias look good together on the right and Tav is defending more comfortably than before.  Declan John needs a Candeias type in front of him and Windass is not the answer.  Try Beerman in front of John, both have pace and wee Beerman offers more in defense, though not great than Windass.  

I'm told john played left mid aswell in the past, him and Wallace when he's back may be worth a try although I'd like to see better than Wallace long term.

That would be my shout for the short term, although a rethink is required if, as mentioned later, Wallace won’t be back this year.

"GOALIES" should have been the shout at the corners with Wes claiming them or at least getting a hefty punch on the ball, staying rooted to the line invites drama.

Yes.

He’s been a bit more positive lately, but was erratic with it on Friday.

I like John,  his first half at Firhill was poor but has grown into a confident attacking fullback.

I know its not as easy as that with all the barging blocking etc going on but when the ball is arriving at the 6 yard box head height, that MUST be dealt with.

That's a blow as I think him and john would be an improvement on windass on that side.

Windass is certainly the weak link out there. He shows odd flashes of ability but is a passenger for the most part and was terrible on Friday.

I keep forgetting he is on the pitch.

I agree - he was shocking, apart from a couple of isolated flashes.

@RFCRobertson where's the Motherwell match thread?Get your act together son.

[Turnberry18 3,204]

I expected more from John from what he showed at Hamilton. Windass isn't helping him though. I hope we have someone in mind for that left side come the next window; my preference would be Jamie Murphy but probably his price would be too high.

I thought that he had been subbed, but he'd only swapped wings with Candeias. 

He must've thought it would be easier on that side?
