MJC Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Get Polworth out the door ASAP. I’d keep Crawford and Campbell, for all I'd love to keep him will be off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I would love to see Campbell stay at Fir Park but I think we all know he will be away in a few months. We have benefitted with a few contract extensions, I'm sure he will have a number of suitors. I would keep the 2019/20 Polworth but this seasons version can jog on. Somethings not been right, I know it's mentioned his family are based in the Highlands, I wonder if covid restrictions have made it hard to settle on that front. The guy didn't do himself any favours against Aberdeen and I think he's only played once since then. Probably unfairly but I voted to let Crawford go. I don't think the guys done to much wrong tbh, he is a neat and tidy footballer and would probably be a decent squad player but I think we need better quality in the middle of the park.

Ya Bezzer! Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Polworth looks like he's totally out the picture with Alexander so I think he'll be off. Personally, while he has a wee bit about him he's anonymous far too often and I would be scoring his name out with out much regret. Campbell has been a shadow of himself this season. He's 22 and has over 150 appearances so that shows you how much football he's played in a short space of time. Maybe the whole malaise around the club has affected him or he's just tired out because as I've said often for a lot of the time he's had to carry the team. I'm not entirely convinced he'll leave. He's not 'hot' right now and I have my suspicions about the level of the game he can play. He's been great for us over the piece but he's not English Premiership standard and even English Championship is a big step up these days. I don't think he'll have a bunch of great options - maybe Hearts or Hibs would take him. Whatever happens it's going to be a big year for his development as a player. He's been on the ascent then taken a dip and he needs to get back to where he was and push on again. Crawford to me seems 'adequate' in current times but if we want to move forward next season maybe we need a higher standard of player. Perhaps a squad player but not convinced he's first choice in a better team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Is Campbell any better than Lasley was before him? Lasley tried it down south and wasn't much of a success. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
well_said Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Allan Campbell is a far better player than lasley ever was. But lasley had better players around him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleeastdave Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 I still think Polwarth could do a job for us, the only worry is his attitude, I am GA will show him the door if doesn’t have the right attitude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted April 2, 2021 Report Share Posted April 2, 2021 Crawford has signed an extension. A hard working player with limited talent. Not good enough for Livingston has been quoted as an integral part of our team. This has been one of the worst and least enjoyable seasons I can recall. My enthusiasm for next season isn't getting any stronger. Meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggischomper Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 Fuck sake, I assume he's only a fucking squad player. Jesus Christ, Motherwell fans are the worst cunts going, sometimes. All teams have their Robbie Crawfords. Or their Liam Grimshaws Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh Crawford has done a fairly decent job with us, like you say, he might not be the most talented but he is hard working, that goes a long way at our level, Allan Campbell is probably a prime example of someone who doesn't have the most talent in the world but works hard and is good at it at being that battler, albeit Campbell has added some more attacking aspects to his game now. The not good enough for livingston thing doesn't really matter to me either tbh, Jake Carroll wasn't good enough for Partick, Tom Aldred for bury, the list is endless. could we do better? yes, could we do worse? yes, much worse.

I seem to remember Partick fans having a few things to say when we signed him, having it looked at it, he only played ten games, so easily forgotten.

Personal view , I don't rate Crawford, he's no better than the likes of Grimmy. I'd rather we let those making up the numbers go and look to build a better starting 11.

Top of Alexanders list has to be a creative midfielder cause we have missed one terribly this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohara for me has proven to be spot on. If we're going to play with hard working battling midfields then we should play 3 at the back and push Carrol and S OD into wingbacks.

MelvinBragg Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Anyone know if Liam Donnelly is back training yet? I had completely forgotten about him until I recently started comparing last season's starting eleven to this season's to try and figure out what has made the difference...

C&A not the shop Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Loads of people pushing this idea of improving the starting 11 but we've used about 35 players this season. I seen the Pie and Bovril account posting about it on twitter earlier in the week. Its a squad game and its a lot easier and cheaper to pick up 20 players that are mid table spl players than it is to pick up 11 top end of the SPL players. Which is why Aberdeen and Hibs 11 highest earners will probably be on more than our entire squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
