AlmostFrazzled

Say what you like about McDonald, but the boy fucking hates a pre-season. He'll find a contract at the end of August and wander straight into a team.

I'd agree with Robinson saying we didn't do the simple thing in the first half. Yes, Queen's tired a lot in the last 20-25 minutes. But the second half we were happier playing the ball side-to-side tiring them out. If you were booing at half time on Saturday you are an absolute riddy.

Cheers. Took them long enough to answer as I have been asking all week.

So his passing was sharp & purposeful, but he couldn't pass a ball in the final third? In all fairness to Dom, if I was needing a winger to run straight at a full back, and hit the first defender with every attempted cross I'd have him as first name on the team sheet every week.

Also he couldn't pass water.

I'd doubt Dom Thomas is a top earner at the club, but it does free up a wage. Sensible move from Robinson because I reckon we'd have got another 4 sub appearances from him this season where he'd give the ball straight to a full back.

Me in this thread:

Fucking hell. This thread, man.

If Killie can manage to get him to do something then fair fucks to them. I haven't seen anything that would suggest that he'd be able to hold down a place in our team.

We'll agree to disagree, because I have genuinely not been that hacked off at anyone in a Motherwell jersey in years. I can forgive Zak Jules because his issue was clearly that he has absolutely no footballing ability. Clay hides from games, and when he does get the ball he plays a 5 yard pass sideways or backwards. He's also chronically unfit as after 50 minutes he's clearly breathing out his arsehole. And, as I said before, in that last home game against Kilmarnock when he ran into the box and blatantly dived I absolutely lost the nut at him. If we can arrange a giant cannon to fire Clay & Blyth into the nearest large body of water that would be great.

I would much rather we didn't give anyone a trial and just signed guys out of nowhere. I mean it worked so well last season with Belic & Jules.

Tait is excellent. When he missed the second half of the season we lost a massive part of our attack. Yes, he is a bit suspect, but in fairness the games he's been ripped to bits were against Sinclair & Hayes who are two of the best wingers in the league. So far everyone's been polite about Clay. I'm willing to put it out there that he's absolutely shit. A total waste of a jersey. Can't pass or tackle. His only positive part was a shot that was sailing into the Moray Firth before a freak gust of wind caught it. Towards the end of the season his speciality became running into the box and just falling over mainly resulting in getting booked.

Be less shit.

Fucking story of his life.

If we get £3-500k for Heneghan we could probably be done for robbery.

100% signing up for an account on their forums. There's too much Zak Jules gif gold floating around that needs to be shared.

Absolutely, 100% better be as batshit mental as Thistle's deathspark or Queens Park's Papa Lazarou tribute spider. If it's anything sensible I'll be fucking furious.

Cheers, lads.

*Awaits "could do a job" post.*

Aye. But the assailant remains at large. On topic I think Robinson deserves a fair crack at it. He was absolutely hamstrung by injuries and horrific signings left from McGhee's time and from the sounds of it he's not hanging about getting rid of some of that absolute dross. While it's not been a wonderful style of football to watch at least we became slightly more difficult to play against even with a makeshift defence including Zak Jules.

I was thinking that myself. Surely we can come to an agreement with him for him to quietly leave. "Jacob, son. You're shite and made of glass. Away ye go."

Injured. And shite.

Sounds like something someone sitting in the front row would say...
