Lobey_Dosser Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 Get the toys back in the pram, put away your petted lip and support your fucking team. This is football. This is the essence of it - good times, bad times, mediocre times we get behind the team. Just because there is a chance we might be relegated is no reason to not show up. You sound exactly like an old firm glory hunter, ready to chuck it at the first sniff of disaster. Even worse, that actually makes you sound like you play for us - such is your lack of heart. Also, wash your hair? In my mind's eye I always had you down as a baldy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His post match interviews are laughable and full of generic pish rather than any real insight into what has actually happened in the game. He's a salesman who googled a few things before his interview and pulled the wool over the amateur board's eyes. I really can't believe we, as a fanbase, are sitting back and accepting this muppet getting us relegated. He needs to go now to give us any chance of staying up and that won't happen unless the fans demand it. IMO if we accept Barraclough as manager for the play-off we're accepting relegation so we can't complain when it happens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... faddythedaddy Posted May 16, 2015 Report Share Posted May 16, 2015 For all I agree that barraclough is clueless and the wrong appointment I'm not sure what people suggest tactically we could have changed today.

Sclaff a good chance wide?? The last time we started Sutton against Partick he was rank rotten.... In fact the past few starts he has had he has been rotten. He relies on others playing well and providing chances for him, which we did not do for anyone today. He can score yes, but only when others create, his link up play this full season has been shite. However I agree, after 20mins it was crying out for a 2nd winger and I would have started Ainsworth or Thomas ahead of Grant today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I agree, after 20mins it was crying out for a 2nd winger and I would have started Ainsworth or Thomas ahead of Grant today. If wanting someone in the team with a proven goal scoring record when we are on terrible runs and staring relegation in the face is having a man crush then I guess I have one. We needed to win today and about 50% of the teams goals were sitting on the bench in the form of Ainsworth and Sutton. Both players have big flaws in their games but if you don't score you don't win. As for Sutton being poor against Partick, fine. But Erwin has been poor against Hamilton, Partick, most of the Kilmarnock match at Rugby Park, St. Mirren today and others. Yet Erwin seems to be beyond any kind of criticism on here, while Sutton only needs one poor performance to get binned even though he's up there with some of the greatest ever players to pull on a Motherwell shirt in terms of goalscoring - Willie Pettigrew, Ian St.John, Pat Quinn, Wilson Humphreys etc. And I've given Erwin plenty praise when he deserved it but he isn't good enough to be a stick on first choice striker. That's one of the reasons we are in a relegation play off and one of the major mistakes Baraclough has made. We had a chance to go with Sutton and McDonald up front in the run in and we didn't. That and the George Long debacle are huge mistakes in team selection that Baraclough has made. By the way, if we get a last minute penalty in the play off that we need to score to save ourselves how do you want to take it? Erwin or Sutton?
