weeyin Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 A well balanced midfield has ball winners and ball players. I don't remember many people complaining that Davie Cooper and Bobby Russell weren't doing enough tracking back. Too much emphasis on hard work over skill is why the Scottish game suffered over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much emphasis on hard work over skill is why the Scottish game suffered over the years. The game has changed globally though. Best attackers in the world are expected to put in a good defensive shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Vigurs was one of McCall's strangest signings. Decent player but clearly a square peg in a round hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Vigurs was one of McCall's strangest signings. Decent player but clearly a square peg in a round hole. That I do agree with. Would have been interesting to see him play under McGhee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Correct, able to grow them but they look ridiculous, more bother than they are worth. so clean shaven and smooth gets my vote every time Look, it is just a fact that having a beard makes you better at football, don't blame me, blame science. #beards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite signing Pearo again I'd still like to see us sign a defensive midfielder to play in the middle.

Like others have said it just hasn't worked for him really. That said...on the press conf today Baraclough played it a little coy I thought. Said he had received a call about Vigurs availability and said to the caller 'leave it with me' but that was all and he hasnt even seen Vigurs play yet himself. He didnt say a definite 'no' nor did he say a definitie 'yes' so take from that what you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were Vigurs would you sign a new contract with Motherwell FC, given recent circumstances?

Lobey_Dosser Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 I think our rapid decline would suggest Faddy and Hutchinson inspired those around them. It's further evident when you listen to the odd soundbite. And remember how much the squad got a lift when Faddy got fit and started playing through the middle, just as we turned the season around.

DEWELL Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 We need new blood in our midfield and as Lawson's injured as usual it makes sense to move Vigours on for his benefit and ours we need midfielders who can actually run with the ball. Pearson will do for starters another 2 required.

I don't think many would sign a new deal if they know they have a good chance of signing on elsewhere (for most of our out of contract players that would be fine with me...). Vigurs with the right setup around him will do a team a great turn. Or he might plummet like Brian Kerr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rapid decline is more to do with players not being adequately replaced, an unbalanced squad with too many right sides defenders, no natural width, and experienced players being one year closer to the knackers yard rather than Faddy and hutch inspiring the players last season. I wonder if they two are inspiring their new team mates at St Johnstone and fulham respectively. According to some st Johnstone fans Faddy has been in the main dreadful all season. I will need to ask them of his inspirational qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
