IF (and it's a big if) Griffiths gets fits your looking at a 15-20 goal striker, which I don't think anyone, maybe out with Hibs (nisbet & Boyle both capable) has, especially not in the bottom 6. They're going to win a cup or burn down the stadium, is my guess. One or the other, nothing in-between. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They better hope they’re safe by Christmas because half that squad will be in the jail after the Christmas night out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 On paper they essentially seem like Neil McCann's Dundee but with competent strikers instead of Dutch wrestlers but I wasn't overly blown away by them in either of our games. Do suspect they'll be one of the teams around us battling from 5th-9th though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 (edited) Exceptionally dull post but I see we've a new 'Head of Medical'. Alan Nixon mentioned it a while back but he's on the Staff page of the official now. Dave Rhodes formerly at Salford. https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/squad/first-team/ Also, I see Max Johnston's been moved down into the Reserves squad https://www.motherwellfc.co.uk/squad/reserves/ Edited September 1, 2021 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned earlier, I dunno he's had a wee run about in the team but in reality our 1st choice was out recently. 2nd choice was playing in midfield, so we played Bevis Mugabe there and Johnston was still just left chilling. But he's meant to be a decent prospect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked miles short of fitness but at least technically he wasn't too bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, our 29 man squad becomes something like 22/23 once we have loaned some players out. Would like to see Johnston, Devine, Cornelius and Morrison loaned out and playing actual games. None of them will make it in our first team by sitting on the bench. Alexander's line was “We want to carry, maybe, two or three more players than we first planned because of the issues with Covid - they are not going away." to me that would have meant running with a squad of 25-ish based on his comments last season about preferring to run with a relatively tight group. We were on 29 bodies, that's down to 28 with Johnston's loan. Assuming Chairman Flao is good on his word that the other young players around the team go out on loan as well (subject to them being recovered from injuries etc) that should be another 3 and bring the squad down to 25. After that I suppose it depends on whether certain players actually want to play or if they'll be happy sat in the stands as a squad of 25 means you've got 7 sat out of the matchday squad (assuming everyone is fit). As I said earlier we're at the point where realistically Crawford and Lawless don't even make the bench most weeks. Kelly SOD Ojala Johansen Carroll Slattery Donnelly Goss Roberts KVV Watt Subs (7 from): Fox, Lamie, Mugabi, O'Connor, McGinley, Grimshaw, Maguire, O'Hara, Crawford, Parker, Woolery, Lawless, Amaluzor, Shields That's a pool of 14 subs/reserves. It's not difficult to imagine trimming one or two if a Championship club wanted to take them off our hand on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_MFC Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Big Darragh looks like he’s an absolute nutter. Another very enjoyable video from the club with a very authentic song choice in the gym for him at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Has KVV been hanging about with O'Connor too much? Genuinely sounds Cork born and raised at about eight seconds in. https://www.facebook.com/210454735864/posts/10159235502460865/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
