We’re at home though, right?

17 years since Fererre day, where he made his debut coming on as a sub against hibs, cracks the bar with a 100 yard free kick, then scores the same goal three times.
Apparently he made 9 more appearances for us after this, and I remember all of us to a man thinking we were onto something. Turned out he was shite, just not as shite as hibs.
We really need a nostalgia thread.

3 hours ago, star sail said:
Lambert was a great player and along with Tommy Coyne is probably my favorite Motherwell player of all time. If DavidTurnbull can get close to that standard we have some player on our hands.
Did Lambert not score a couple of 20 yard belters at Ibrox in his time with us? I'm sure he scored one, maybe two. My memory is not what it was.
The only goal I can mind him scoring for us was a nice 1-2 against Aberdeen at home, the same game that Davies and Coyne combined for a cheeky free kick routine.
He scored 5 more, but I can’t remember any of them. He did score some screamers for Celtic.

Frear gets plenty of assists, and that’s what we need our wingers to do. He and Ariyibi are different types of player, and both are valuable in different situations. Ideally we need both, but our budget may stand in the way of that. Also, I think a fit Cadden could be considered as the right side of that 3 as well.
factors to consider here are - does Frear want to stay? Can we keep Cadden? Does Ariyibi want to stay? If he does, do we have any chance of making that happen?

Looks like they updated the website, it was showing 2020 until today.

Wow, we need to give McCormack more touches and hastie could get the golden boot.

The audio commentary is good today, is it ours?

Lineup posted, no changes.

Jeez, forgot all about cadds, I must have just resigned myself to him going this year.
I hope we we can get another season from him, he’d essentially take Ariyibi’s place and I think he’d thrive there.

From the list above we know that ATS, Sammon and Newell will be gone. We also now know that Maguire, Scott and Hastie have been offered new deals. Don’t know if he mentioned livingstone.
Gorrin and Grimshaw are doing well now, but who knows what their plans are, ideally i’d like them to stay.
I like Frear too, but I’d imagine he’ll be after more regular playing time.
Mbulu is a backup player, and probably would be next season too, so not sure what we do with him.
-
For the reserves - most of them.
-
From the top of my head:
Aldred (end of loan)
Def - McHugh, Mbulu, Grimshaw, Livingstone, ATS, Maguire
Mid - Gorrin, Hastie, Frear, Ariyibi (end of loan)
Forward - Main, Newell, Scott, Sammon (end of loan)

The only potential I can see for a change is if hastie has any after effects from is injury on Saturday or if anyone else has a knock. With us being off this weekend I don’t think there will be any thought of resting anyone.
-
I think if we manage to successfully fire someone who’s under contract for not being fit enough that might just open up a can of worms.
Part of being in the football business is attracting players to our club, and keeping good ones.

It’s Gillespie’s place to lose.
a conundrum we haven’t seen since Woods/Howie

He’s contracted until the end of next season, we’d have to pay him to let him go.
I’m sure we’ve also invested a fair bit in his rehab, so unless he had to retire I don’t see why we’d get rid of him.
-
Gorrin was good, but I’m going with hastie purely for his acceleration for the 3rd, warp speed.
-
I’ll miss him on commentary when he’s back playing, he’s the best of the bunch when it comes to the color commentary.

We handled the second half well, making sure they didn’t get back into the game easily. We had a couple of breaks but were way more conservative overall, which is probably the professional thing to do.
Thought Gorrin had a really good game, keeping things calm and collected in the middle and breaking things up. He and Campbell are giving the attacking mids the license to push on. Hastie, Turnbull and Campbell are players you pay to watch, hopefully we secure hastie for a couple more years soon. I think we need to consider extending Gorrin.
Great to see main with the neat finish at the end of a good move, and I thought that Tait and grimmy were solid.
James Scott is a unit. I’m looking forward to him rag dolling defenders for the rest of the season.

Gillespie has made some good saves, we were up against it for 2 minutes after the second.

Tanner is on commentary today, he was talking about his injury but I missed the start of it, but he talked about him and Cadden hopefully coming back in this season.

I think this must have been extended at some point, as I’m sure it was a 2 year deal when he signed.

I think it means we’re doing a better job of enticing local talent to sign with us rather than the ugly sisters or anyone else.
As per the article listed earlier, a lot of the players coming through now have been with the club for 10 years or so. So there’s a lot of folk to credit, starting with who spotted them at the age of 9, through to who signed them, then who developed them at each age level. We should keep this in mind when evaluating changes to the club structure, it could be a decade before we see the fruits of it.
