Particularly when he was saying that the second goal was from moves they worked on in training. I am liking Halliday more by the day tbh Last season I was not so sure about Andy Halliday This season he has came on leaps and bounds , must be at least a contender for Well player of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we had far more control of the game on Saturday than we normally do. This true. Reflected in possession stats also as markedly better. We had below or around 30% possession against St Johnston both cup and league games. and Kilmarnock. Also recent stats reflect more contacts in final third. 40% against Dundee, 6 shots on target and 19 touches in box and Ranger had 14 touches in box and 3 shots on target. Early signs very positive. St Johnston cup match most dissapointing having 1 shot on target. Out with a whimper. Pity we didn't get Wimmer in before that. Still future looks positive. Suppose Scouts/Kettlewell deserve some credit for some of the signings that came in that now look fairly good. Positive signs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted Monday at 09:55 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:55 PM Yeah Halliday is quite decent. He's always good on the podcasts and SSB. Also think the last few games are up there with some of his best in a Motherwell strip. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most professional players have no problems putting aside their boyhood allegiances to do their job. It's a completely different mindset. Another classic example is Scott McDonald. He didn't exactly hold back on Skippy Sunday. He did (and enjoyed) the job we were paying for, in front of the home fans he played for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you I think had it not been for the tragic death of Phil O'Donnell he may have jumped ship to Hearts. He does deserve credit for the way he handled the tragic death of Phil O'Donnell. He doesn't. watch the interviews back, he's whoring himself for the Scotland job, lip service to his employers at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was berated for slowing things down by continually turning back on himself and killing any momentum we had going forward but it now looks like he was only following orders.

weeyin Posted Tuesday at 01:13 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 01:13 AM No doubt. When you're a professional footballer it must be demotivating having to sit in and and/or hit long balls, ending every game with 30% possession. The thing is, it looks like the scouts managed to identify some decent players - we just didn't play to their strengths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted Tuesday at 07:48 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 07:48 AM Re: Halliday he definitely appears to have upped his game since Wimmer took over, all of a sudden he is showing more effort and workrate. He did well on SSB last night too so full marks for that. I’ve always loved how he gets up the noses of the “I hate Rangers more than I like Motherwell” section of our fanbase and if he’s playing well that will happen all the more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some hate Rangers more than they hate Celtic though, and that seems to get up your nose, or at least under your skin enough to make comments like that. Halliday is playing better because he is being used properly in a system that he can contribute to. I think we can all unite and get behind that, no? 😘😘😘 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a small minority though, granted, but there are definitely some in our support whose dislike of Rangers outweighs their love of Motherwell. I’ve been at Fir Park enough times and heard enough comments about enough players and read enough comments on here and other social media to know that there are some in our support who absolutely DO hate Rangers more than they like Motherwell. Anyway we’re going off topic here so I’ll leave it at that and apologise to the Admin team for the temporary derailment of the thread. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dislike of Celtic doesn’t outweigh my support of Motherwell. If a player or manager is wearing our colours giving their all for us then that’s all I care about. The team they support doesn’t matter. That’s the difference. 15 minutes ago, Spiderpig said: Rangers are his big team, nobody in west Centre Scotland ever believes you when you say i just support Motherwell or Partick or St Mirren etc. So, you’re accusing me of being a Rangers fan yet in the very next sentence bemoan that in this part of the world nobody believes you when you say you support a non-Old Firm club?? With attitudes like yours from a non-OF club fan what chance does anyone have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
