Malky79 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Cautiously optimistic with the signings and how the team is shaping up. Biggest priority right now is a keeper. Twardzik is not the worst back up but no one even his strongest defenders reckon he has what it takes to be more than at best adequate with a fear of some howlers. Long wasn't hugely impressive but certainly performed when it counted at Ibrox. Certainly willing to give him benefit of the doubt if he returns. Biggest fear in the defence is another year older McManus. Solid against Rangers in the main largely rotten through most of the season, can he roll back the years and be the leader of the back four we anticipated? We have some cover in Chalmers and Watt certainly looked promising. I like the look of midfield four but the next priority is surely someone to give Lasley and Pearson competition and cover. Hopefully Leitch can step up here but still like another signing. Up front we have three new faces and Moore, McDonald would be a superb bonus especially given the versatility he showed in Rangers games. All in all a lot of question marks remain and you never know until the serious stuff starts where you are but it looks like a reinvigorated squad that will hopefully kick on and do much better than last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelman94 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Am I right in thinking both Mault and Fletcher were top scorers for their clubs last season, if so that is promising with Clarkson and Ainsworth also capable of knocking some in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one m in motherwell Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Good to see that the incorrect spelling of names has well and truly taken hold, even with guys who have been at the club for all of five minutes!

nethertonwellfan Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 The general consensus amongst Wrexham fans (granted I've only seen 3 comments) is that they're gutted to lose "King Louis". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergi4 Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Without getting ahead of ourselves, would be funny if Barra put together a team who could put in the best challenge to Celtic and left Aberdeen in our wake....... AgainMotherwell are 66/1 to win league w/o celtic.Can get 1/3 of the odds for each way (1st or 2nd without celtic) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Stall Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Paddy Power has us joint 2nd favs to finish bottom , stone cold last , they arent as deluded as some ... 2nd is probably getting ahead of ourselves, but given the form we have shown since February, added to Barraclough getting a summer to get his ideas ingrained and new signings in, I don't expect us to be in the bottom two next season. Now that might be wishfull thinking...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 A midfielder we've previously been linked with, Richie Towell, rated as a top bargain. http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/jun/30/transfer-window-12-best-deals-summer In addition, Burrows has tweeted that we're 'not anywhere near done' regarding signings.

fat_tony Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 With both Laing and Moult on board, surely the song for next year has to be The Kingsmen "Louie Louie"? This is shaping up to be an extremely exciting close season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only three newbies by my count: Fletcher, Moult and Chalmers. Laing and Ainsworth as re-signings, and an extension for Marv. I suppose Laing is technically a new signing come to think of it.
