Some already out medium term I believe the biggest cause is "training with Liam Gordon". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 This must be a priority to get to the bottom of all these injuries. It no just coincidence. In depth look at training methods, match preparation, medical and physio teams. The money spent doing this could save in the long term. Something is definitely amiss in this area of the club organisation. Settled team = better results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did this last season as well; I think Souare and Wilkinson were both injured in the last 2 minutes of a session, so they started looking at reducing timings etc. Also, see my previous... Liam Gordon is an absolute animal 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewelllfan Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 So our squad going into the 1st game of the season Oxborough/Heygi Balmer/Mcginn Gordon Casey/Blaney SOD/Koutroumbis Miller/Davor/Callaghan Slattery/Halliday/Sparrow Seddon/Wilson Nicholson/Paton Moses/Stuparevic Bair/Robinson I suspect we'll sell Bair. Hopefully we bring in another Wing-back either side and a St if Bair is to leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 You don't think Nicholson and Paton being our only two creative players is a bit of a problem? A team built around Harry Paton is a team that's destined for relegation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Spittal was our most important player last season. Not properly replacing him, yet, is a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It matters not a jot where Miller plays. If you don't think our team, and specifically our midfield, is being built around him you're deluded. The team certainly isn't being built around Harry Paton. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paton is a bit hit and miss but you've just got to hope he performs Lennon and Slattery are also creative enough from that area for me not too be overly worried. also think with 8 signed players in that area and the talk of Dylan Wells breaking through their won't be any more addditions in that area.

While I agree with you Steelboy's concerns are legit, maybe not his end of season projection there but I think you can build the team around Miller but expect better than Paton to be his out ball. I don't mind Paton but I have concerns that SK loves him and will squeeze him into the team every week if he can. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering what Kettlewell has done with Bair and also Moses of late, i'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team built around Harry Paton is a team that's destined for relegation. I think Paton is OK and adds some energy to our engine room. However I see him as being a box to box player being played out of position whilst Nicholson is unavailable. We badly need an understudy or alternative to Nicholson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mothman Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Sounds as if Filip Stuparevic can play as an advanced midfielder/second striker, similar to the role Spittal had for us. Quote from an article this week - "Jasmin Jeric, who was assistant manager at NK Domzale during Stuparevic’s time in Slovenia, knows all about the new Motherwell player’s ability. The Steelmen play a three-at-the-back system, usually deploying a striker with an attacking midfielder, or a striker playing off the main number nine. There’s a system that Stuparevic is best suited for in boss Stuart Kettlewell’s plans. Jeric explained: “Considering Motherwell's tactical formations, I believe Filip could excel in both systems. His versatility as a striker allows him to adapt to different formations and play effectively in either setup. However, personally, Filip might suit the 3-5-1-1 formation better, as it provides more support behind the primary striker and allows him to link up play with midfielders.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still relatively young in the profession, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him go on to carve a very good career out for himself at a higher level either domestically or down south. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
