CoF Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 So Saturday's defeat stopped us equaling the club record of 7 top flight wins in a row but there's still cause for celebration after achieving our longest top flight winning streak since 1937. It got me thinking about what records we have set (and other achievements) under Mccall. I've included player achievements as well. League and cups Scottish Cup Runner Up - 2011 SPL 3rd place - 2011/12 SPL Runner up - 2012/13 Records Most top flight points in a season (post war) season 2011/2012 Most top flight points in a season (post war) season 2012/2013 Longest top flight win streak since 1937 Highest top flight win ratio (44% after 140 games) (is this correct?) Manager of the year Season 2012/13 Manager of the month July 2011 August 2011 October 2011 April 2013 Mullet of the month Winner by default Players achievements under Mccall SPL top scorer 2012/13 - Michael Higdon SPL Player of the year 2012/13 - Michael Higdon Player of the month October 2011 Keith Lasley September 2012 Michael Higdon December 2012 Jamie Murphy March 2013 Nicky Law April 2013 Michael Higon Young player of the month April 2010 Jamie Murphy January 2012 Henrik Ojamaa April 2013 Shaun Hutchinson It's way past my bed-time so some of that might not be entirely accurate so please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm also sure we set a few defensive records last season? Does anyone know Mccall's win ratio now? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NottsMFC Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 It's a shame we didn't get the 7 wins in a row, if the ICT game hadn't been called off I really think we would have done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 The other missing info I would like to see is our participation in Europe since McCall came on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Didn't Randolph get our shut out record as well? Maybe McCall should get a record for number of clowns on the internet wanting shot of him in a season where he is challenging again for 2nd place in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StAndrew7 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Yep, Randolph beat Ruddy's record the season after Ruddy set it - so half under Brown, half under McCall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 The other missing info I would like to see is our participation in Europe since McCall came on board. If nothing else, "Qualified for Europa League Champions League for first time ever" should certainly be on there. I'm not sure there's much else to write home about regarding McCall's European record, mind you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StAndrew7 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'm assuming you mean qualified out-right. Did we not get into the Europa League the season previous (I think that was via the fair play route, though? Fair point if it was!)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'd also guess that McCall has the worst European record of any of our managers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzyB Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'd also guess that McCall has the worst European record of any of our managers. Think you might be right, but in his defence he's had teams like Levante and Pana, and no Icelandic/Norwegian/Albanian part-timers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 When's the last time we were knocked out of cups back to back seasons by 3rd division teams? I jest of course. McCall has achieved phenomenal consistency that I never thought I would see from Motherwell. And the 2nd half of last season is as good a Motherwell team as I've seen.

Well 4 Europe Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 I'd also guess that McCall has the worst European record of any of our managers. Not really. Panathinaikos was a Champions League game which can't be compared to any other Motherwell manager as no other Motherwell manager has competed at that level. However his record in the Europa League, poor as it is, is really no worse than our other managers in recent years. If you look at our recent UEFA Cup/Europa League exits it looks like this.. Motherwell 0 - 3 Nancy (Playoff Round) - McGhee Motherwell 1 - 6 Steaua Bucharest.(3rd Round) - Gannon Motherwell 1 - 3 Odense BK (Playoff Round) - Brown Motherwell 0 - 3 Levante (Playoff Round) - McCall Motherwell 0 - 3 Kuban Krasnodar (Playoff Round) - McCall Has McCall really done any worse than the others?

ScottW1886 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Knocked out of the Scottish Cup twice in the same year by the same club. And that's relevant how? It's an SPL team we are talking about, it's hardly a disgrace to lose 2 games to a team at that level. Also beat that same team twice in that year, including a 4-1 win....

Steelmen Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just my opinion I think we have done better than those results show. Nancy - Outclassed us Steaua - we were looking really good until they got the away goal and then they pulled away Odense - What a game that was. if only we had our shooting boots on. Levante - I wasn't that impressed with them at Fir park, but we were even worse that night. Kuban - we played ok but got caught again with everyone up the park.

Guest Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Has McCall really done any worse than the others? He's managed six games and conceded eleven goals without reply. So yeah. He has. I mean, I like McCall and I'm glad he's our manager, but first 6 months aside, we've been absolute wank in knockout competitions under him.

Frazzie Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Ridiculous to slate McCalls European record. We've finished top of the pile outside the Old Firm in both his full seasons so we got put up against teams with players we had actually heard of so of course we were going to get pumped. I'd much rather that than sneaking in through fair play and getting to beat a couple of pub teams before the inevitable pumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Worst Euro performance I have ever seen was Nancy away. The fact that so many fans made the trip and had a great time seems to have papered over the cracks in that one, but it really was dreadful. Good to see that, true to form though, the Achievements thread has already morphed into the criticism thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bladesman Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Not only have we achieved a level of consistency that is up there with the best teams of yesteryear but under SMC we have produced 2 teams that are pleasing on the eye, play exciting football and have formed the type of camaraderie and loyalty that other teams can only envy. Not looking at this with rose tinted specs but when he took the job, I said SMC could build himself a reputation second to none, and I think bar a couple of blips he's done that.The fact that we've actually got into Europe on a yearly basis, should be remembered before we have a pop at our early exits at the hands of better and far wealthier teams.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
