Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

Guest superward

If we scrape through the League cup group,  get a couple of 'brilliant' players, then some players back from injury/up to fitness, and a couple of wins in August.....I'll be happy. Let's go GA.

I mean, calling them "brilliant" additions is setting us up for a fall. The Thread will be the judge of whether they're "brilliant" or not thank you very much.

I have a hopefully-unfounded fear that he means they are currently "brilliant" decorators, or "brilliant" plumbers.

Have I missed anything or has there been any word about attendance etc for the Hibs game yet?

Nowt yet officially. We've submitted a request to increase it from 2000 though.

Confirms that we are starting tomorrow with both Maguire & Crawford in midfield then. 

disappointed the wire GIF 

I say this having not read much about any other injuries etc but rather than dropping Crawford in there to replace Cornelius is there not an argument that we'd be more likely to go:

Lawleff Donnelly Maguire
Woolery VanVeen Watt

My guess is moving the ball lets you fire in an out-swinging cross with less chance of the ball going out for a goal kick.

Statistically the attacking team will win the first header more times when it’s an in-swinging cross compared to an out-swinging cross but it’s more likely to be a goal scoring chance from an out-swinger. Or at least it was the case about ten years ago when I googled it during a pub fitba argument/debate.

Surely if you move the ball infield then it is virtually impossible to play an outswinger? Or am I missing something?

Kelly can kick it long from the 6 yard line whothout someone needing to tap it to him.

Using 3 players to take a goal kick is like having 2 men taking a corner on steroids. Get the centre backs up the park. Push the opposition midfield back. Stop fucking about deep in our own half.

Don’t mind the goal kick routine or the short corners either

What gets my goat is 4 - 3 - 3 it just doesn’t work with the players that we have at our disposal 

The quicker we get it to f**k the better for all concerned

Just read it’s Amy Winehouse’s 10th anniversary today, which means it’s 10 years since we opened the 2011/12 season with a 3-0 win over Inverness - a cracker from Las and a collectors item from Hammell among them.

Randolph; Hateley, Craigan, Hutchinson, Hammell; Humphrey, Lasley, Jennings, Law; Higdon, Murphy.

What we would give for an XI of that quality now!

Genuinely one of the best 'Well teams ever that one - Ojamma still to be added too. That midfield actually makes me sad.

Aye it was. There was still plenty of loans at the time mind you. I still know more than person who doesn't rate Higdon. Mind blowing.

I was at the cinema seeing Harry Potter, mind checking my phone in disbelief when I got out. 3-0 opening day victories don't come around very often.

Edit- Harry Potter was shite btw. Totally unrealistic.

I agree with him...just not necessarily the Tait just now but the one a few years ago. Always thought he was comfortably better than this dumpling with all the Scotland caps

That’s the thing though, it’s two different players.
