Kmcalpin Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Credit to Accies they were the better side and looked comfortable throughout. We couldn't match their work rate, competitiveness or organisation and they should have won far more comfortably having created the best 4 chances of the game, despite all our possession. We lost as a team and questions need to be asked not just of our strikers but also our midfield and defence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he’s just been lucky the last 3 years ? Now if you want to only look at the performances this season rather than his whole tenure that’s a different thing.

Casagolda Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 What does Mark O'hara give us that Liam Polworth doesn't? Jordan White can stay on the bench for the rest of his motherwell career. We need to work on defending crosses. We are extremely sloppy marking men in the box and Accies had 3 great chances inside the 6 yard box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gee Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Been horrible watching us this season. What a shame with so much promise and money invested, we look really poor and easy to get the better of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Credit to Accies, they hung in with a team of kids and smelt blood the longer the game went. Robinson has a habit of bullishly stating he won’t alter his style of play. That’s an issue in itself. Despite the talent at our disposal we are incredibly predictable and the possession football is pointless if you have no end product.

fizoxy Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Absolutely woeful. We have been well and truly sussed out by everyone, and we’re stuck with who we’ve signed now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted August 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Nothing up front sadly. Substitutes also very ineffective when they came on. Then once we took Campbell off it just handed midfield to Accies and there was only ever going to be one team scoring after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next game is huge though. If we have a humiliating European elimination at home to Glentoran, which is quite possible I think, then get pumped by Celtic then the heat starts to turn up. However, we need players brought in rather than a change of management although sometimes I think Robinson can be a bit thick when it comes to spotting obvious deficiencies. Going into the season with the strikers and forwards we have was never going to cut it and why he thought it would is honestly a bit baffling.

We've certainly carried on our mediocre and sometimes downright shite form from the later part of last season into this one. Eventually the manager will come under the spotlight if he can't rectify it soon enough and that focus will arrive much quicker if a truly rotten Accies team beat us tomorrow. I can feel the heat building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been a fan and defended him but in my opinion it is time for a change. We have a decent squad but we are so predictable and so many out of position.

I think its telling Iain that despite all our possession, courtesy largely of Accies tactics, that they created 4 very good chances i.e. more than we did. Its not all about quantity of possession its about quality of possession, defending and finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellowell Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Robbo is lucky he has earned time as his formations and tactics this season been brutal . He of course deserves time to sort as only 5 games in and coming after a 3rd place and 2 cup finals in previous years . He gave game to Accies today by his subs just before goal no idea why our biggest assist player of last season can’t even get on pitch and our best player today gets subbed . Once Campbell went off Accies took over as formation was shocking , as I said Robbo has earned time but he needs to sort this out quickly as we will do a Hearts if he does not .

fizoxy Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 There’s a big difference between dominating a game and being allowed to have possession. We had a five minute spell at the start of the second half where we put them under real pressure, but that was it. Throwing in all the strikers at the end like we were all over them was a huge mistake, at that point it was clear that accies were waiting for their opportunity, and we handed it right to them. they beat us because they have the mentality of underdogs that have to fight for every point, while we strolled about thinking we were a big deal. Seedorf has a habit of hiding then making his run when it’s too late, giving the impression he has space, when he is just terrible, and hylton just isn’t offering anything. If white hadn’t given away a foul I’d have forgot all about him. I had to go online and check when long came on, seems like he was operating in the same black hole as white.

Pish the only stat that matters is who scored the most goals, so going by that Accies were the better team they won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
