Big Stall

I didn't see him yesterday, but going on his first half performance against St J i would have him as one of the worst Motherwell players i've seen!

Maybe good in theory, reality from what iv experienced at a few English Championship games is a bit different. Freezing cold November Saturday, stand and drink some cats piss lager out a plastic tumbler. Doable if your on a day session with your mates, not exactly tempting otherwise. Particularly with new alcohol tolerances for those driving. To each their own though I would say, at summer football it might be more appealing. Think of those red hot evenings we had in Euro qualifiers at the excelcior, a lager at half time might be decent, even if it still was cats piss

Pretty gutting result to be honest, the fans and hopefully the players would have had a morale boost with the new additions. Any optimism may have been sucked out the squad with that result though. I wasn't there so can't be too critical, but two things really stump me: - Straker at left back after the 1st half performance against St J - Erwin playing left wing instead of Dom Thomas. Thomas has been our best spark since Barraclough came in, came on and set up the goal in our last game, full of running, doing well in the under 20games and importantly is actually a left winger. Now i can just about understand dropping him for one of our new wingers, but to drop him to play someone else out of position?? I hope we have a decent contract on this lad because the way he's been treated by succesive managers will probably have him considering a move.

The kids train at NDP itself i believe. Certainly see them on it most evenings

Have you or anyone else booted Ainsworth in the arse yet? If not, why not?

Why? Its fucking freezing aye, but theres no wind, rain, snow. Decent night for fitbaw actually (in Scottish professional football terms) as long as you keep running around, dont have exposed skin and the surface doesnt freeze.

North yorkshire? Where was the clown from that thought Humphrey was the bees knees? Dazzer was it?.......

The write up for this keeper looks good so fingers crossed. What I would say is that I don't believe Dan is really that bad, it's the shite that's stood in front of him most of the season that has been the problem. Most games, St Johnstone aside, match stats show the opposition reigning shots in on our goal. We could Neuer in goals and we would still be conceding given the pressure we are put under.

He was shocking in the first half when he played left wing. Not even a little bit bad, complete shite, looked like he had no idea what he was doing. Certainly improved when pulled back in defence, but for me Thomas has to play left wing.

Reads as though Ojamaa didn't want to go. Bit of a shame to lose him.

A few positives: - we won't get humped - Baraclough gets extra time to kick this malaise out the squad - we might have new players in by the time we play kily - playing today after the rain and snow of last week would fuck the park. Now it gers a rest

A quick search on linkdIn brings her up with the eight positions she has held. Come on man, you can surely manage that yourself.

So now you know that your first point, McCalls team was 'Craigs' is nonsense. Did the guy at your work tell you that McCalls Motherwell beat Celtic twice in a 6week spell a couple of years ago?

Three straight defeats, 11goals against, scored 1! Manager needs time, but he also needs to do much better

It would be interesting to compare these clubs home and away form against the rest of the league. I've been at both accies away games sadly, and it was clear to me the ball was reacting totally different to on grass. Not only the ball, but the players were reacting, turning, stopping different from what you see on grass. The home team are playing and training on this so it stands to reason that they should have some kind of advantage.

For me, i'de have Erwin and Ojamaa up top, lionel and thomas on the wings. That would give us four direct players which while it might not win us the game, would certainly cause Aberdeen problems. For all that Erwins been poor in front of goal, he has been getting into the right positions and putting himself about. Those four attacking players would allow us to go with two solid centre mids which could help protect whatever back four we can coble together.

I personally thought it was quite cringeworthy when the 'heavy hands empty stands' song went up after our support let off two smokebombs. IMO

If they were out on the piss and turned up anything other than 100% then as far as I'm concerned they should get at least a 2week fine and made to show they care about the club before they get a sniff of first team action again. I really hope this is just online rumour and not fact. I will be royally pissed off if I paid for and sat through a 5-0 humping because of unproffesional behaviour.

We were brutal yesterday but lets not get carried away with the BBC Aberdeen hype machine. We finished the season better than them last season despite them being the 2nd coming of the 'Gothenberg Greats'. They also only managed a 1-0 over us a couple of months back at their own shit hole, and even that was due to McManus slipping. Yes, they are better than us, but if we turn up we can give them a game

People here complaining about the stewarding? What did the stewards do wrong? I had to interact with them twice and both occassions they were bang on. Two smokebombs produced by our fans suggests that it is us in the wrong

What a shambles that was. I had felt most of the season that while we have not been good, we have also been unlucky. Slips leading to goals against, no breaks etc. Indeed the first half against Ross County was our worst performance of the season...... Until yesterday! Fuck me, an absolute clusterfuck. No drive, no hunger, inept marking. We were quite simply played off the park by Accies. I thought in the first half Ojamaa looked like he was at least trying to create and make things happen from his left wing outpost, but in the second half he completley dissapeared along with the rest of the team. Thomas put in a good ball when he came on, and the other youngster Cadden?? at least put himself about and tried to get in positions. If Barraclough started with softly softly approaches the first few weeks, well he needs to ditch that and kick arses now! That was fucking brutal!

Granted not a league game, but it looked pretty full to me in the midweek cup game a month or so ago

And yet everything we created came through him

Ojamaa, everything we did went through him. He worked his socks off an was all over the park.

Spot on, Ojamaa is our best player and the creative heart of the team at the moment. We really need to keep him past January
