I feared we would lose a bit when we lost the highly impressive Paton in the engine room, but Halliday took us to another level, they both carried young Miller and he'll learn a lot from these top pro's. It's also clear to see that our front line has bags of goals in it, the inter-changing passing and dynamic movement was a joy to watch. A really well organised defence and excellent goalkeeper stopped this from being a rout. Big shout out as well to the ref, he really is one of the best in the game. What a fucking time to be alive.

Expand We've just sold Bair and it's obvious we need a few more additions - next week will be a challenge though, because Partick scored six. However as you say I'd rather be a Motherwell fan than a Hibs fan this evening. I'll take the win particularly after the showing the other night.

Expand Now I'm not especially a fan of Jim Goodwin but he was talking there about how lower league teams have 18 player squads and can put out there strongest team in these group matches while Premiership teams have 25 man squads and they have to get minutes into players so they are fit for the league season. We also have injuries, new players we are trying to blend into the side, younger players who probably will be out on loan come the season proper and a squad who are maybe 85% fit playing on poor surfaces. You can't judge the team on performances right now especially since we've got results. Several bigger teams than us have lost matches in these group stages to lower league teams. If we have lost 8 out of 11 come October or whatever, Kettlewell will be under pressure but right now it's not a fair assessment. I'd expect us to step up next week with progress on the line against a better level team. If we don't and lose, you have your first opportunity for fair criticism.

They'll be delighted to lose on penalties next week given their superior goal difference. We have to win simples.

Expand We haven't really done that though. Maybe Seddon and Kaleta will improve us but it looks a stick on just now that SOD will start at least the first two games of the season and as we saw today he hopeless. If you look at areas of the park central defence hasn't improved at all. The midfield is a shambles. And the two strikers who played today showed zero composure. We've signed a dozen players and there's not one of them you look from these games and think they will improve us from last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santheman Posted July 20, 2024 Report Share Posted July 20, 2024 Unless either us or Thistle had made a total cock up in the early games then it was always going to come down to who wins next Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirParkCornerExile Posted July 20, 2024 Report Share Posted July 20, 2024 A game we should have had wrapped up before Clyde equalised with a comedy of errors from us. There were pluses and minuses all over the game. Thought we looked far more Direct than we did last season. Paton and to my surprise Halliday drove us forward pretty well. Still not convinced about Blaney. Finishing was woeful. Lennon Miller showed some neat play and I thought Wilson looked as if he has something about him. A mixed bag but we got the job done, onto the next game. Anyone else think our penalty was soft? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie73 Posted July 20, 2024 Report Share Posted July 20, 2024 Thought Blaney was dreadful today, needs to be taught how to time his jump, think he won one header today, then when the big boy Logan came on he just got plain bullied. Hard watch today, easy to blame the surface but our passing and movement needs to improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're out to beat a big boy ie us, whereas we try to balance results against getting players matchfit. In my view we haven't got it quite right this year. Results wise though we're first in our group ....so far. Not the first time we've got the balance wrong. Injuries have also played a part.
