Kyle Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 56 minutes ago, Antiochas III said: Except if you knew anything yoy'd know your way of thinking is completely wrong. You know it's not the Motherwell thing to hire Scottish retreds. People said the same when we went with Robbo and County went with Coyle. It's like you know, the Motherwell Board actually know what they're doing or something. I wasn’t criticising at all. When facing a relegation battle as you were in January, the natural choice is the pragmatic one and I think Wright represented that. I don’t think there’s any need for getting your knickers in a twist, I’m only commenting because there were several posts about Tommy Wright earlier in the thread. 13 minutes ago, well fan for life said: I have no ill feelings towards Wright. I just find the weirdo Perthshire cult around him to be inexplicable. Like aye he done well but it's hardly like he's the second coming of Sir Alex Ferguson. Back to football stuff we look like a good team now. Magloire and Lamie making us all look like mugs and even Chrissy Long doing good things. The simple change of swapping Watt & Cole to play the latter as an out & out centre forward has been completely game changing for us. Also Liam Kelly is a season saving signing. The save at 1-0 was huge. Similar with him bailing out Gallagher last week. Tommy Wright isn’t the second coming of Ferguson, no, but neither ourselves or Motherwell are Manchester United. Not that any of this matters, Alexander is doing what’s required to keep you up - I imagine that was his requirement for this season - and will be able to shape the squad the way he wants to in the summer and Callum Davidson has won us a trophy. f**k Tommy Wright, eh lads? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we were on 17 points when Robinson bailed and the week after when Alexander took over. Here's the league table since he was appointed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite why Motherwell fans have got so riled up at whats just a puff piece to big up his friend is weird. Just do what Saints fans are doing, and sit back and enjoy him relegating Kilmarnock. Nice to see you’re still taking Wright leaving you and rocking up at us well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make it sound like he made that choice, and didn't leave us expecting the NI job, get rejected, then spend the next 12 months scrambling around getting rejections left, right, and centre, before jumping at the first role that was offered to him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point being do we drop him now and attempt to get him in the summer or he keeps playing well and Hearts suddenly realise they have a decent player on their books and keep him Winger...

Swello Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 23 minutes ago, ropy said: Jordan Roberts : winger or striker? Forward. I know that we've seen players come in, look good and then they go off a cliff but Roberts all round play has offered us more in a handful of games than Seedorf has done in 18 months. As Jock Brown is never tired of saying, he's decent enough in the air that we can go direct as we have been the last few games and he's quick. Hard to see why you wouldn't want him in the squad for next season if he's available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 39 minutes ago, ropy said: Jordan Roberts : winger or striker? +1 on Forward. He's clearly not a winger, he's not hitting the byline and getting crosses in but he's doing everything that Hastie (and Seedorf) didn't. He's different enough from Watt and Cole that means there's a nice balance there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Just wanted to say that Tony Watt and Scott McDonald debating xG and "Secondary Assists" (or "passing" as I'd call it) on Twitter is very much not the content I want to see on a Sunday morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
