MJC Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 5 minutes ago, steelboy said: And it's never been properly explained how SOD suddenly had an extra year on his deal. It looks like all the pointless 2 minute sub appearances Kettlewell gave him triggered an extension but no one wants to admit it. Have we not done similar in the past with certain players? Extended their deals on the quiet on the basis of an unexplained reason. George Newell springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, there's hardly a player in our squad who looks better than pub level, so he's far from alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not joking when i say this but i have seen better strikers in the Lowland league.Guys ex pros about 35 36 that would give us much more than this frontline.Bair is never this level and never will be thats for sure. Start of the season Kettlewell said look sign rough diamonds player that might have had a bad season by christ he lived upto that remark.

Wellsince1976 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 Some Motherwell fans need a reality check. 6 weeks ago, Kettlewell was the messiah, now they want him sacked. Yes his transfer buisness, especially in the forward area is questionable to say the least, however that is probably more down to the money (or lack thereof)he was given to spend. We can`t keep sacking managers every time we go on a bad run. Get behind the team and hopefully we`ll recapture that early season form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way, no fucking way, that Bair & Wilkinson were our two best options on the budget we have. Not a chance. And that's before we talk about Obika. Spencer & Mika have been good, but the those two in particular are so so poor and we could have done far better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fitba. When do you ever see a manager go 10 games without a win and not get sacked? He's had plenty of money to spend he just chose to spend it on utter shite like Wilkinson.

Few weeks ago Gers booed team off park and sellik sneaked a victory. We were so close to getting a result. I am with you, we can't keep changing managers minute we hit bad run.

wellsince75 Posted November 4, 2023 Report Share Posted November 4, 2023 The mark of a good manager is how he turns things around when going gets tough . When SK first came in he did the simple things well . Went to a 5-3-2 that pivots to a 3-5-2 moving forward All players knew their role and worked hard . Generally players were played on their natural position . we didn’t sign any wide players by choice , we signed players to fit this formation . Today’s tactics were all over the place . Several players in strange positions . SK needs to go back to basics . He’s a bright manager and sees the obvious , he needs to get back to his own game plan .
