I can only assume Liam Kelly pissed on your Christmas tree in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which he is, and which means he's more than good enough for Motherwell. If he was better than "bang average" he'd be earning more money elsewhere. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJC Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Mugabi back in from the start, SO’D starts again. As if it wasn’t going to be hard enough today. On the plus side Biereth starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I have no issue with ,given our current squad it's about as strong as we have. We need width . I'm lost to why we don't just play Spencer on the right and Gent on the left.

grizzlyg Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Team today as good as it was going to be . No way was Gent going to start today so SOD was always a shoe in but I hope he starts on left with Spencer on right. Butcher in front of defence makes sense with big Bevis hopefully winning headers and not thinking too much ....COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 3-6-1 reverting to 5-4-1 when required (most of the match). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Will wait and see how this lines up before making any judgement. But at least its not 4-3-3 with 2 strikers in wide areas, and if as suspected Butcher is in midfield, at least its something different.

El Grew Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 As we are playing Celtic away it’s of no consequence at all but if ever there was a team selection designed to get a manager the sack, this is it. Should be going 4-4-2 with Spencer & Gent at full-back with Casey and Blaney at centre-back. Midfield of Butcher + perm any 3 and 2 up front Biereth & Obika. Obviously learned zilch from the Hearts game when Spencer went to right-back and Gent came on at left-back. We looked much better balanced, had pace on the flanks, and played better and with a bit of fortune, might have saved the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen the goals we've lost recently from corners ? You've never seen Gent play for more than a sub appearance and have no idea what he's like defensively, especially when under pressure.

AllyMax Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 Stuck at work and can't watch, so BBC text and here for me. Looks like we've managed to defend two corners without conceding. That's improvement !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 We are rotten. SOD might as well be defending for Celtic when we actually get the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzyB Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 As well as we are defending, our reluctance to get out quickly will inevitably cost us. Our centre halves have got to scream at the whole team to get up the pitch on our rare breakways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 I appreciate Celtic are the far superior team etc BUT This is complete anti football. Parking in our own 1/3 and simply hoping they don't score is a complete waste of team and for those at the game they're hamemoney. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

GazzyB Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 We clear a Celtic corner up to the half way line and the furthest our defence/midfield gets out to is the 18 yard box. Get up the fucking park!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
