He's in his 30s now, think he'd know better. He's just been being him. I don't think he actually gives a f**k. Caught on camera at Ibrox for their game against Malmö. Got really chippy when Motherwell fans (rightly) called him out for it and he's been skulking around his Twitter account making pass agg references to it ever since. His latest was piping up with this after Celtic drew with United (although maybe he was talking about the Arsenal 3-1 Spurs game that was on at the same time he Tweeted. IDK). Oh...and he's been roundly shite since he signed. As I said in the post earlier his last involvement was as an unused sub on August 21st. He's not been near the squad since. It's been pretty clear Alexander didn't trust him as he didn't start a league game for us this season, he was only used in the League Cup. It's interesting that we didn't mutual him in time to allow him to find a new club though as it's been clear since the Dundee LC game that he wasn't getting in our team.

capt_oats Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 7 minutes ago, Well Well said: Hopefully Robbie Crawford is next I don't see us paying Crawford off. At least he's been around the squad...he's made the bench the past 3 games. It wouldn't be a massive surprise to see him move in January but given the numbers in midfield and potential injury prone-ness of Donnelly and Goss I'd imagine Crawford is here until then. Lawleff was like, 7th choice forward. He had Woolery, Roberts, Shields and Amaluzor all ahead of him for his position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hopefully Robbie Crawford is nextI'd like to think Crawford will be kept around until he/we can find him a club because, as far as I can tell, he seems a decent guy and seems to do his best when he plays (albeit that often isn't good enough).Lawless on the other hand is shite at football and a wee p***k to go along with it. I hope Alexander told him to get to f**k in no uncertain terms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, his signing really seemed to be a result of convenience rather than him desperately wanting to re-sign for Motherwell. Which is fine. He wanted back up the road, we wanted a winger who wasn't Jake Hastie or Sherwin Seedorf but in hindsight it's definitely up for debate whether he was even an Alexander signing given Grezza was only in the door about a week before Lawless pitched up. I saw a couple of Livi fans on Twitter talking about him after his "cigars out" Tweet and tbh the whole "He's a Rangers fan, always has been"...so it's OK just doesn't wash. I know he was quite a marmite figure at Thistle as well, I've said this before in this thread but there's a way to carry yourself as a Motherwell player and Lawless just isn't it. He's seemed absolutely miles out the picture for the past month and tbh, he's looked like an awkward fit since the day he came back in. That's really only been amplified when you look at the players Alexander has signed over the summer and the buy in he's got from players like Watt. Lawless has just seemed like the complete opposite of that in every possible sense. Fuckity bye Steven.

Deffo not a player you can rely on when the backs are against the wall, good when everything is happy and your teams winning but a few bad results you wouldn't even know he was on the pitch. Totally anonymous and caused issues behind the scenes when last at Firhill as well. I certainly hope we don't take him back! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 As an aside, I think most of us half-expected (hoped) Lawless would maybe be away during the last window but either way this kind of leans into the point Alexander seemed to be making back in January when he was talking about not wanting to carry a large squad or have players around the squad who either weren't going to be playing or didn't really want to be at the club (I forget exactly which interview it was). The fact that we've eventually got around to mutual-ing him feels like a good decision and one that was somewhat inevitable regardless of his patter on Twitter. Disappearing from the squad for a month and a half says something if you're not injured. That leaves us with 6 forwards for 3 positions and given Grimmy seems to have been re-purposed as a midfielder we've now got 8 defenders for 4 positions. Midfield still seems a bit messy and the obvious question marks there are Parker (whose deal is up in January) and Crawford. I've stuck KVV left because that's where he's been playing (personally I say stick him through the middle) and Bevis back-up RB as Grimshaw seems to be used more as a midfielder and also I just wanted the symmetry of 2 players for each position across the back 4. As it stands we've a first team squad of 26...the line through the summer was that we were looking at running with a few extra bodies to cover potential Covid issues. IMO a normal size squad would be around 24 so that sounds about right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Looking at that graphic, I’m confident the defence will be able to handle the inevitable suspensions that are coming.Slattery is carrying the midfield in terms of passing and creativity. Hopefully Goss is a lot better than we remembered from his time in deepest darkest Perth. I still think central midfield is what we want to concentrate on for the January window. It’s a strong squad overall that should put in a challenge for the last top 6 place but I do worry if certain key players get injured/suspended. If KVV or Tony get injured then can Shields or Justin step up? If Slattery gets injured then will we bypass the midfield even more? If Kelly gets injured then can old man Fox step up? Every squad will have weaknesses and rely on a bit of luck with injuries but our better players are what separate us from the shite at the bottom of the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
