  1. Shit signings in the summer. players constantly changing position. tactically all over the place. But for me it’s the standard of football at home that is the nail in the coffin. It’s is fucking dreadful and possibly the worst I have seen at Fir Park for years.
  2. I would say since Tanner got injured we have not been the same attacking force. Other than a few great results against Aberdeen we have not really blown any teams away. Tanner was a huge influence on our team. Best signing out with Kipre that Robinson made.
  3. I agree, we need these young guys playing. Maguire, Scott and Turnbull look great. Scott for me looks are far more polished striker that Danny Johnston. Time will tell though if Robison gives them a chance.
  4. Cadden on the right, Bigi and Campbell in the middle and rose on the left. play either Frear or Tanner off the striker. Or once Tanner is fit play Frear on the left instead of Rose. When Frear came on against Accies we had an out ball, needs to start.
  5. Too many knee jerk reactions here. Yes Motherwell were poor on Saturday and lacked any kind of creativity going forward, but for me the main issue throughout the whole game was playing Aldred as a right back. Why? For me one of the best partnerships we have is Tait and Cadden on the right, they work really well together and when we took Tait off we then lost the goal and suddenly had Aldred trying to ping balls into the box, which was of course going to end in tears. Bigi tried hard but need to move the ball quicker and also improve his delivery, but I am happy to have him in there rather than McHugh. Main tried hard and got a good few runs and on another day could have had two, I have no doubt he will get his form back. Sammon for me was just terrible in the air. I have never seen a centre forward time his headers so badly, he should have been sent of for dangerous play for the amount of times he took Accies players out, but as a partnership I'm not conviced. I think until Tanner is back I would have Frear and Main leading the line, or Frear and Sammon. The boy Johnstone is still quite raw and rought around the edges, but could be useful as a sub. I think we need to give it time to click, we have not really changed the squad from last season and Hartley is essentially replacing Kipre, and we know Harley is decent. This same squad last season did pretty good. I'd just put the Accies game down to a bad day at the office. We will eventually click and all this chat about us not scoring or getting any points in the next X amount of games is just heresay. Going forward my 11 (injury free) would be Carson Dunne Hartley Aldred Tait Bigi Rose Campbell Cadden Tanner Main For the time being throw in Sinclair for Dunne and Frear for Tanner, but that team above will not get relegated.
  6. If heading gets banned from football then we are fucked.
  7. Can anyone explain to me why Tait was substituted and Aldred left as a right back? Or even why he was shoehorned in there in the first place? Sammon is utter pish too. His timing for headers is comical.
  8. Million bucks! Amazing for the club if true and exactly what we should be doing. Carson will be next and I think he will be 7 figures too.
  9. Carson and Kipre will go for 7 figure sums this transfer window.
  10. Pish. Was hoping we were going to sign a speed merchant on the wing, but no.
  11. He stepped off the plane in Indonesia and he started essentially frying so they just put him back on the plane for his own safety. Currently waiting in the passenger lounge at Prestwick until this heatwave passes.
  12. Stephen Hughes became a Jakey.
  13. He has signed these guys cos other players must be leaving. I would be amazed if Carson, Kipre and Campbell are still at the club for the start of the new season.
  14. That’s the kind of formation I would make the opposition team when I was cheating in football manager.
  15. What to you gauge as progression? 2014/15 season - 3 apperances 2015/16 season - 21 apperances 2016/17 season - 42 apperances, called up to the Scotland Under 21 team 2017/18 season - 44 apperances, Scotland U21s and now called up at an international level. When he was injured this season we went on about a 10 game losing streak. He is 21 years old and has played over 100 games for Motherwell. He must be doing something right!
  16. He has just been called up to the full Scotland squad, been a first team regular all season and played in two cup finals...
  17. That can't work everytime though. Nadir is 26 years old, we are in a position to sign him as Celtic are paying him off. If he has one good season with us then there is a chance a Championship side might sign him for £500K . Or he might just stay with us for 3 seasons and get double figures each time. I have seen enough this season to confince me he is a really good player and he also seems to be really happy at Motherwell. He can eat as many Kebabs as he wants, as long as he continues to nutmeg three accies payers in a row then knock it into the pokey.
  18. Ciftci is silky as fuck. Knock a few pounds off him and he will tear defences in the SPL a new arsehole. Some of the stuff he was doing against Hamilton was outrageous and to be honest thats what I want to pay to watch. His rabona pass in the middle of the park against Accies was one of my highlights of the season.
  19. I'd have Nadir back, get a pre season under him and he could be some player for us. Aldred, sign up 100% McHugh, squad player status has been confirmed over the last few weeks, not sure where i see his role in the team. Gutted if Carson goes, but I doubt we have much say in the matter. Will be really hard to replace him. O'Halloran - would be the type of player we need, we lack pace in the side.
  20. Is his nickname Cammy, or is it Campbell Bell? Parents are lazy as fuck if thats the case. Like a Chinese Dingdong Dong.
  21. If Celtic want Carson they will get him unfortunatley, but we are in a strong position to make a massive amount of money on him as they are despereate to get someone in before the end of the day. Would be gutted if he went though as it leaves us in a really difficult postion trying to replace him outside of the transfer window and I am not conviced the defence have much confidence in Griffiths. Could potentially cost us a place in the top six in my opinion.
  22. Brutal stuff. Things I noticed tonight. Big Nadir looks a player. Kipre was the best player on the park. Main looks a handful. Dunne needs to calm down when he has the ball at his feet. Cadden needs to stop trying to cross too early and move the ball to the byeline. Our captain needs to use the ball much better. All in all a decent result against a big Heffer of a opposition.
  23. Id sign him in a heartbeat! No deal as he will charge all other clubs 10k a week, but play for Sevco for free, wee cunt has a habit of doing that with them.
