milo Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 There isn't a defender in the world who hasn't cost his team a goal at somepoint but Stevie Hammell is far and away the best defender we have at the club at the moment and his return will improve the team no end.

Ya Bezzer! Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 It's been long enough between games that I'm actually looking forward to this even though I think we'll be lucky to get a point out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ONeils40yarder Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 The loss of Stevie Hammell (or should I say, our inability to replace him), shouldnt be underestimated, he has been a model of consistency since he broke into the team as a 17yr old and his importance to the team shouldnt be underplayed both defensively and as the man who often starts our moves offensively from the back. We've missed him hugely this season. As for Straker, he looked fucking hopeless at left-mid against St Johnstone, but I thought he looked semi-decent at left-back, although I wasnt at Ross County to judge further...I'd play my 5 year old lassie at left-back before Angol, so Straker will do me until Stevie is back. Absolutely no idea what to expect tomorrow in terms of team selection and to be honest I'm still trying to get my head around the new players names and where they play on the pitch. One thing I'm looking forward to though is having a look at our new keeper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked completely lost and i'd much rather play Watt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked completely lost and i'd much rather play Watt. I've yet to see the guy in the flesh but this is the consistent feedback I'm hearing. Very concerning. But then so is 99% of what we've seen in the pitch this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWELL Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Our lack of decent full backs on both sides is one of the reasons we're in the shit at the moment. Stevie Hammell is one of the best left backs our club has ever had 2nd only to Joe Wark. We need him back asap. <_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts Well Fan Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 One thing I'm looking forward to though is having a look at our new keeper... Lets hope you don't see a lot of him. A clean sheet would be a start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ONeils40yarder Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 In terms of talent, he can't get near McKinnon or that cunt Boyd, but his consistency and service must put him right up there when talking about our best ever.

fizoxy Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Summary of presser: Robbo - Back to basics, our defending is shite, not just a back 4 issue. Craigan sold the club to him. Bara - Pearo in contention, if not tomorrow he'll be back next week. Some of the players are unfit/lazy. Ainsworth came on before Dom because of pace. Leitch is coaching 1st team now.

On the other hand it's unlikely Stevie will ever walk round Hampden with a mhanky scarf before we play a cup final or announce a fake manager. Advantage Hammell.

weeyin Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 On the other hand it's unlikely Stevie will ever walk round Hampden with a mhanky scarf before we play a cup final or announce a fake manager. Advantage Hammell. Boyd was an excellent player for us and he lifted the Cup at Hampden. I don't care who he supports after he's stopped playing any more than I care about players kissing a badge. Game, set & match Boyd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between supporting a team and coming out in front of our fans with our opponents scarf before a cup final then slaughtering our players in the media come monday.

Coatsy Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Sorry but Boyd lost all credibility when he paraded with the Scottish Cup as a Celtic representative, how he could do that to our supporters as the last Motherwell captain to lift the Scottish Cup for us. Just shows his real colours total disrespect to the club and supporters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 To get back on track, have given up a shift which would have made me £100 to get to the game tomorrow. Really hoping it's the one where we turn the corner. Would love Hammell to be back but we've rushed him back a couple of times and it's backfired so would rather wait til he was 100%. Looking forward to seeing Grant and hopefully Pearson. Think if we score first we'll win... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siebsbarmyarmy Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Agree MB think the first goal is crucial, I don't know why but I am quietly confident we will get the 3pts tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxteth O'Grady Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 For anyone who parks in the immediate vicinity to Fir Park, there are temporary traffic lights at the junction of Dalzell Drive and Knowetop Avenue. Plus you still can't turn right into Knowetop Ave at Taggarts. Been a pain all week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree that both those players were probably better than Hammell but neither of them played for Motherwell at 32. Hammell has developed into a very consistent, experienced player but people forget he was a much more exciting and dynamic player in his earlier years. Perhaps if Hammell had left Motherwell in his mid 20's and never come back people would be more likely to argue a case for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
