Andy_P Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Who'd have thought almost ten years to the day we'd be pitching up at New Douglas Park seeking a change of fortune and having someone new (albeit caretaker this time) in the dugout. It would be going something from this stage though to replicate that season finish where we ended up in the top six and eached a Cup Final. Fair chance we might replicate the shitty nil-nil though.

David Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Whilst I would never call this game a "must win" it's certainly the game where things can get real serious for us. A loss will see Hamilton go a point above us, which would see us drop into the bottom two. If Ross County get a win against St Johnstone we'd go rock bottom. However, a win could see us push up to 8th or so, which would be a welcome reprieve while we sort out the management situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 There's bugger all in this league, particularly from 5th downwards, and each team is going to have their good and bad runs. I didn't realise St J were doing so badly either, they might sack their manager too. If we don't get those covid points, we still have a couple of games in hand on our rivals, so a shite result tomorrow wouldn't kill us, but it would be terrible in it's own right with it being a "derby" on plastic against a team managed by brian rice. A reaction from the players would be nice, I guess they got what they wanted, so it's time for them to step up. If Lasley has any ambitions for keeping the job, I'd expect a couple of personnel changes to put his own stamp on things to a degree, but the style of play isn't going to change so quickly.

fizoxy Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Was mcginley even on the bench the other day? If he can't force lamie out of the team he must be worse than I thought. I agree with polworth and lamie dropping out, but that shouldn't take a tactical genius to notice. Cole was rubbish the other day as well, but out of our options he's probably the best to partner Watt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwellfc1991 Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I don’t think he’s any good but that’s how bad a squad Robbo has left us with. Absolute dross right across the board . A first team squad of 29 and I can’t pick a team . Numerous players that think they are it yet haven’t won a tackle all season , beaten their man or broken sweat. Yet he still gets all the applause and brown nosing because he got us to two cup finals . That’s in the past , he has left us in the absolute shite with the squad he put together . Maybe we could pick his son in the starting 11 in his honour to remember the cup finals and what a nice guy he is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the squad is really that bad though? When was the last time we had two current Scotland internationals in our team? I mean, it obviously isn't working out for us at the moment, but when we started the season there was very few among our support claiming it was a bad squad.

Maybe we could pick his son in the starting 11 in his honour to remember the cup finals and what a nice guy he is . The thing is it’s not that bad a squad, the majority of the starting 11 got us to 3rd last season. Carson, Carroll, Grimshaw, Polworth, Campbell, Seedorf, Gallagher, OHara,Donnelly, Watt, Long, Cole. That’s 12 players off the top of my head that played a lot of games between them, Turnbull hardly played a game and Hastie came back with expectations. Dunn has been injured but would have played a part as would Donnelly and Carroll/Carson. Lang also came with a bit of excitement. We really have more than enough quality to be safe, it’s just not happened right from the first game where we dominated against Ross county, gave away a daft penalty, missed our own, and somehow managed to lose.

texanwellfan Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 I’d pencil in the following, in no particular position, then add to make up 11 (not using Lamie, Polworth or White) and figure out how we can play to the strengths of the players on the park goalie preferably Carson O’Donnell, Gallagher, Grimshaw, Carrol, Campbell, Watt probably add Mugabi since O’Hara not available. McGuire, Cole and Seedorf. im assuming Lang and Hastie are gone? If not then I’d add Hastie before Seedorf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I've seen us play. That's why I said it obviously isn't working out for us at the moment. But we have a good squad of players. A few duds need shipping out, and someone who can partner Watt up front and score goals is needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milo Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 Could go either way. We’ll either get a massive reaction and win in which case the players are as disgrace, or we’ll get pumped in which case the players are a disgrace.

Yep, that’s pretty much it in a nutshell, two or three decent addition in the right positions. We’ve got half a dozen first 11 players that would walk into most other teams in this division.

Kmcalpin Posted December 31, 2020 Report Share Posted December 31, 2020 It'll be interesting to see if the caretaker management team do anything differently and also if the players react positively. Who will be our back up goalie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
