Explain why it is wrong and maybe we would all have learned something? There are those to be ridiculed and debate to be had for those with validity in their posts so reply as such. For the umpteenth time, pointing out why they are wrong isn’t an option in many cases on here to protect where information can be got. It’s not in-the-know, don’t think there is anymore information than others, just better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as he frustrates, when he’s not there I just do not see any spark or matchwinner in that team. We have nobody that can change a game. Not one player. Watt could do it and van veen can…. When he’s in the right frame of mind. id rather see him play in the hope he can add a spark rather than shields who I cannot see as a player, he can charge about but if you look at the times he can’t hold the ball up and loses possession it’s just not acceptable.

wellup83 Posted April 26, 2022 Report Share Posted April 26, 2022 The idea being Cornelius would play the defensive role of protecting the back 3 and with the best of intentions try and get O'Donnell and Carroll further up the park in order to create. This is the best course of action imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While in possession its ok to bypass the midfield, if thats our choice; but its very different if the opposition choose to play through the midfield. I'm no tactician but does our midfield then not sit too deep when under attack? Obviously you don't want a gap between the midfield and central defence. It may also be of course that the central defence sits too deep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Grew Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 I doubt it will make any difference which 11 is picked to play because our league record at Tannadice is pretty poor to say the least:- P94; W18; L42; D34; GF95; GA158 Our last win there was in February 2016 and better Motherwell sides than the current one have struggled up there so I don’t see this being improved upon. Hope they prove me wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a ground at which you get many penalties either. Let's change all that today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I vividly recall one game in March 2004 when we played them off the park and missed a barrow load of chances. They were never in the game as an attacking force. Then late in the game, they brought Jason Scotland on as a sub and he scored within minutes of coming on. We lost 1-0 and I remember coming out with my mates and wondering how we’d lost having dominated for most of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted April 30, 2022 Report Share Posted April 30, 2022 Drove up there for Stevie Hammells 500th appearance. Left at 5-0 and missed our goal. Never been back! Hoping for an absolute shitfest today and a 0-1 win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
