MJC Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 As I said yesterday if we need to rely on Obika and Wilkinson for goals then we are going to be in trouble. Early days or not it is clear that neither of them will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any mis-placed pass, is pounced on - then the boo boys can tell us they told us from the start and how clever they were to spot it before anyone else 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree,we definitely need a bit of pace and movement up front,it's early days but Wilkinson and obika don't look like they will be a good foil for each other.

joewarkfanclub Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Spittal is one of our best and most productive players. He didnt have his best game yesterday, but his work rate and attitude were still first class. Even when things are not coming off for him his head doesnt go down and he is always available for a pass and tries to make things happen.

santheman Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 What really pissed me off yesterday was the brain dead morons who thought it would be a good idea to boo McGinley when he came on. This is the kind of thing that makes me seriously think about whether I want to keep on watching Motherwell after 50 odd years. Similar kind of things happening all too often.

Ye I personally think Mcginley is sub-par but boing our own players never sits well wiith me especially a guy who's been out best part of 2 years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he's only ever played as a full back with us so we don't really know how he would fare as a wingback in a 3 5 2 Might be pish or he might surprise us but writing him off before we've had a chance to find out seems a bit daft.

weeyin Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 I have no idea if yesterday's strikers will end up being productive, but I wouldn't write them off in preseason. The classic slow starter was Chris Porter and he turned out OK. Higdon took time to get into his stride too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Yep I found it bonkers we had fans booing McGinley, guy been out injured for a year. Now don't get me wrong I don't rate the guy but I would never boo him or any other player. This seems to be creeping in more and more with some supporters and really needs to be stopped. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do they draw the line ? Will he get abuse when he's perhaps out food shopping ? or eating out with friends & family ? or is the preferred method with the safety net of a cloak of anonymity that the internet provides or as part of a pack on a match day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistandshout1983 Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 Poor poor game yesterday , on reflection today though most important thing was the win Much improvement needed for the league starts , at least 1 or 2 more options upfront as well Will cut Obika some slack as I do think there is goals in the guy, should have had a hat trick . Wilkinson was poor and done nothing to impress, though will give the guy a chance as it is very early days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted July 23, 2023 Report Share Posted July 23, 2023 just watched the highlights. Whoever came up with this idea was a genius. Take 90 mins of drab, poor football and consolidate into 5 mins that are entertaining. For all the fans getting on the backs of S'OD , Spittal please watch the highlights , lots of good moves flow from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
