Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

Rangers fans are utterly odd and vile bunch.

All over everything Motherwell have posted about the game and throwing the hammer thrower shit about.

Actually seriously puts me off reading anything when you are involved in a game against them. Just a weird, obsessive, nasty bunch.

I don't read anything about them (or Celtic) whether we're playing them or not. Couldn't really care less what most of them think about anything.

Bigi signs for Solihull Moors (technically his move from us was to Hibs like)

 

I'm interested to see how he does at that level. If they build a team around him he should be technically miles above that league but I can see him getting swallowed up amidst the 7 foot National League yokels.

I doubt they'll build a team around somebody they've only signed for two months.

Does anyone know why the club got a suspended fine against St Johnstone, some sort of bother.

In Perth recently?? Was a pretty quiet away game IIRC - can't remember any madness inside the ground...

Sooo - We've played everyone once and it's been good, quite entertaining and our style of play is a million miles to what we were watching at this point last year.  The best thing for me is that we've been competitive in the vast majority of games with a very raw, developing team - even the pumping against Celtic contained a very positive 30 mins - so only the Aberdeen game was a total non-event so far. I think I'm right in saying that if we win on Saturday, we'll surpass the points total we were on at the winter break last season, which is some turnaround so far.

The first round of games is the most unpredictable in our league where teams otherwise know each other inside out and our challenge is to avoid the traditional shite November and December and to try to match the points total in the 2nd round of games (and there is no reason we can't IMO).

I think last night neatly summed us up so far this season- entertaining and infuriating in almost equal measure. 

We were a goal up, a man up and in complete control of the game. We then contrive to give away yet another soft and avoidable goal which seemed to knock us right off our stride. To the point that I was relieved to get to half time. 

To their credit though, I thought we started to move the ball better 2nd half and the winning goal really was a well worked bit of football. We then proceeded to make it more difficult for ourselves again in the later stages with some naive decision making and poor finishing. 

Was good to see Caroll get through what must have been his first full game since Tynecastle. He’s went under the radar a bit but he’s been a far better acquisition than advertised, that ball in for the winning goal was delightful- hopefully he can keep himself fit now and stop getting suspended. 

Was also interesting after the whole Long vs Cole debate that Robinson went with the pair of them in the 433. I thought Long was excellent- his pace, work rate and movement causes teams no end of problems. Cole I felt was a bit hit and miss but you can’t really argue with 2 goals in 2 games I suppose.

Back to middle, we look well-coached and pretty impressive. In forward areas, it's random madness. A lot of times, it's good madness - but so many of our problems seem to come from forwards making bad decisions (giving away daft free kicks, losing their man, giving the ball away and allowing teams to break on us, etc). 

If we can coach the forwards and improve them as we go along, we could be a decent team :)

I don’t think we’re as good on the wings as we were January to May. Everyone of them apart from Illic looks like they’ll improve which is encouraging.

Ilic seems to get a fair amount of stick but I still reckon there's something there. 

Or he can play us a belter set at the cup final winning party. ULLLLLTTRAAAA!
