Well Well

I really don't think the new management team really take any stock in players who have had a link to the club no matter how tenuous. Its all done on a laptop now

He is the Head of Recruitment for Motherwell

Agreed 100%

You would get more out of Hastie playing him anywhere but Fir Park. Would not like him back at all

Absolutely agree 100% and I should have mentioned all that in my post. I just don't see this in O'Donnell. Hopefully the Manager will pick someone capable of stepping up and being the leader, we have missed that badly.

I really don't see anything in O'Donnell that makes him every remotely worthy of being a Captain?. Just because he plays for Scotland means nothing that should conclude he should be given the captaincy. I don't see anything in the videos the club has produced or evidence when he is playing that he has taken on the mantle when Dec wasn't playing, not even slightly. I would argue Kelly and Watt have done much more in dragging the club up from relegation not just with their play but their attitude and ability to get others involved around them. Watt was willing to play through an injury (potentially leading to being out longer) and come on score a goal and turn a performance around is a particular trait I would want in a player who wants to be captain. Someone who is willing to sacrifice themselves for the club to get a result amongst other things. I don't see that in O'Donnell. I would also credit Kelly in turning our fortunes around at the back constantly talking to players and making sure the players are concentrating and cutting out mistakes, guy is non stop from the first to the last minute giving advice, guidance and kicking arse when necessary. I think this has given our defence some much needed confidence in the latter stages of the season

First new signing in the door - Connor Shields - Striker - 3 year deal..!! https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/2021/05/27/connor-shields-signs/

From Burrows on Twitter - A big thank you and good luck to everyone leaving the club this summer. We’ll have a list of our new academy graduates soon (our biggest intake in years) and some new faces in the squad too. Quote Tweet

hmm never convinced me...maybe with a full pre season but he always appeared nervous and prone to mistakes

I wonder if offering Scott Fox a contract would mean that Kelly is not coming back. Hope to god that Hastie is not the one or two loans they are talking about. I was hoping it was Kelly and Roberts

Don't sit on the fence bud tell us how you really feel..

I really don't think so, never seen him display any leadership on the park. Don't know what he is like in the dressing room so cant comment about that. GA wants certain players brought in with the right 'character' and I expect one of them will be a captain of his choosing, someone he brought in he can trust on the park.

absolutely no way is Johnstone going anywhere unless he is sold. He is only 16 and has loads of time to improve. Great prospect but I think GA will call time on quite a few of the youngsters, just rumour mill but we will see in the coming few weeks and a picture on Devante Cole twitter clearing out his locker at the club (hopefully not a sign he has gone forever).

If GA keeps Lawless it will dent my confidence in the new manager as he is absolutely gash

your complaining about County not getting an advantage....?? Have a look at yourself

wtf is it with Lawless with set plays that he has to fire it as far to the back post as possible. Thats 3 so far and each time not a Motherwell Player can get anywhere near them

You see it in almost every game. Referee does not need to blow for every single foul. They can play on and go back and deal with the offender.

eh naw its no, ref can play on until the game stops.

Our complete midfield should be replaced for next year. Every one of them is too easily beaten in the tackle.

Hastie was absolutely woeful again tonight, please send back to Rangers at the end of the season.

I think a carrier bag blowing about the Fir park pitch has more presence and has more chance of finding the net than Hastie

I always thought Alexander would utilise his own scouts, surprised that Foyle is still here tbh

The headline says that but Alexanders quotes in the article doesn't. 'We spoke to him quite a while ago about a contract and it's still ongoing' is a bit of a leap to being close to agreeing a deal it doesn't even say he was offered a deal only discussed it. Would be good if he did stay but like Long I think he only signed back up last season because he had nothing else.
