Just don’t understand Robinson’s obsession with 2 wingers

Rubbish Tony Watt was behind the goals doing his warm up When Long went down the bench immediately signalled for him, I’m sure like the rest of us thought is was in connection with the heavy knock he took in the first half When the physio got to Long he immediately gave the thumbs up to the bench without even treating him. Long skipped past the County defender as if he wasn’t there to set up the 3rd goal. Oh and did you see his reaction to getting subbed after it ?? I would suggest that if you actually go to the games you pay attention to what is happen on the park

He had a problem with his boots

Lets have a recap of last night in the cool light of day Excellent result and one that we badly need …… but let’s not get carried away there were some glaring deficiencies in that performance, although we were streets ahead of County until we got the 3rd goal all 3 points were still in doubt. Keeper : excellent goalkeeper one that I will be sad to see go, but his distribution … does anyone work with him to improve it ? (genuine question) Defence : With Hartley and Tait in there we struggle for pace both I think reached their sell by date. The way Hartley lost his man for 1st goal was criminal Gallagher for has dipped a little but is by far our best defender … Grimmy we he’s just Grimmy a good honest pro Midfield : Great to see Alan Campbell back and I thought O’Hara was excellent in the holding role ( more mobile than Donnelly) Polworth was also more like why he was earlier in the season Wingers : Think Hylton last beat a man about September why oh why can they just not try and do what Long did for 3rd goal beat your man get to the bye line and get the ball in Centre : Although not an out and out striker leads the line well and makes some terrific runs which are seldom seen by others , could do with a few goals Overall we have had a great season but there are areas of the team that need to be addressed Going forward would love to see Watt and Long playing up front as a 2 with Turnbull supplying the ammunition could be potent IMO Work needs to be done on the defence and soon against better opposition (Killie for example) it will be exposed big time

Ahhhh but they were large one’s

He was in a very tight midfield 3 and don’t think any of them new what their role was He took a heavy knock early on (1st 10mins) but battled on Midfield totally no existent when he went off and Donnelly went in there Numbere of times that Donnelly and Hartley went for same ball was unbelievable

Not sure where Maguire is in the pecking order, but to my mind he is a center half Donnelly miss the next 2 games so he’s out of the equation Agree with front 2 of Watt and Long Midfield is the problem, last night we played with wing backs (Aaron’s and Tait) a tight 3 of O’Hara, Campbell, Polworth who were all over the place and unsure of their roles. O’Hara was the pick of them, he took a knock early on and when he went off and Donnelly went in there it was game over

Is it just coincidence that the 2 teams that seem to have imploded since Xmas ,Us and Rangers both line up with 2 wingers week in week out System been found out and nullified by others ????

If tonight proved anything ……… Hartleys finished at this level Why oh why is he playing in the middle of a back 3 ????? Slow as treacle and was bullied by the big number 9 Also get this playing with 2 wingers to feck having 1 sand dancer on the park is bad enough without having 2n Just beat your man ( never mind the 5 step overs ) and get the ball in

He sits up in the stand along with O’Carrol and communicates with the dug out assuming regarding our and oppositions shape also seen them taking photos at corners free kicks on phone assume these are sent down to dug out

Very similar to what I posted recently Not a lot of people seemed to like it ……… Think either could work How about this for a starting XI Gillespie Gallagher Donnelly Dunne Arrons Campbell O’Hara Polworth Turnbull Watt. Long

Polworth on the left may or may not work but I would try it for his passing ability alone…… think the back 3 can at least defend Still think on paper it’s a formation worth a try

Ok after recent debacles where are the round holes ?????

Too sensible

Agreed In the 1st game St Mirren played 4 in the middle of the park, they were never going to change that So you’ve got to think that our 3 are going to match them ( not going to happen) or set up accordingly ( some hope ) Were nearly 2/3rds through the season and still playing the same system. Teams do there homework and we’ve been found wanting in all areas. Did you see the 1st goal ??? The amount of time they had to control the ball and put a decent ball into our box was criminal !!!! BUT that happens week in week out our fullbacks do not close the man down or get close enough to stop the cross This does not happen by accident that is obviously how they are coached AND that is Robinson and Lasley’s fault

Defensively Gallagher has been covering the defensive frailties of Grimshaw and Hartley for weeks. What happened in the 1st half comes as no surprise when he is missing. Also when is Robinson going to learn that we do not have the midfielders to play against teams a man short in there

Said it in an earlier post …… Gallacher Donnelly Dunne as a back 3

I’ll say it again 2 fullbacks that cannot defend and a centre-half slower than a week in the jail Also Robinson fixated with 4-3-3 formation leaving us a man short in the middle of the park

Well any money that we were going to get for Scott playing a certain number of game is just going to have wait that little bit longer. Injuries can happen at anytime or anyplace ……… Speedy recovery for the boy

Your alluding that Scott could not get injured training with Motherwell Think Craig Tanner would beg to differ

Ok give us the lottery numbers

Agree When you play 4 4 3 your defence has to be up to the job As you say earlier in the season we were getting away with it As for our defence while Gillespie is a great shot stopper his distribution is shite We have 2 fullbacks who cannot defend for their lives In Hartley we have a centre half who’s slower than a week in the jail Thank god for Gallagher ( who by the way I think is carrying an injury ) So to be in the position we are says al lot for the rest of the teams

Scott’s done his ankle ligaments in training and could be out for the rest of the season Could quit easily done the same with us and then we’re £1m + quid down Wish the boy all the best but these thing happen in football sometime better to strike when the irons hot

How about this for a starting XI Gillespie Gallagher Donnelly Dunne Arrons Campbell O’Hara Polworth Turnbull Watt. Long

Think he’s talking about the St Mirren end Just under 5000 in a stadium that holds over 8000 Crazy that St Mirren could not give Motherwell more tickets if they could have sold them
