Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

To re-up that point, by my count this is the contract situation:

January 22 - Parker

Summer 22 - Fox, Morrison, Lamie, Mugabi, O'Connor, McGinley, Grimshaw, Maguire, O'Hara, Crawford, Donnelly, Amaluzor, Roberts (loan expires), Watt

Roberts is only on loan until January I think. Which probably suits us if he hasn't made much of an impact by then.

That's right, I forgot about that. I just assumed it was until the end of the season. Edited my post to correct.

From what I know he seems to have almost exclusively played as the "10" in a 4-2-3-1 shape, sometimes so advanced hes virtually playing up front. Not one whos used in CM in a 4 man midfield unless its a hail mary move

How do you know this?

"Do you go to Motherwell games expecting to win?"

A bold question. 

I said "No" to that one (because I usually don't), but now I feel like I've just ok'd a budget cut for next season...

Oh aye? To link back to the "Brand Perception survey" this idea of who/what influences us, how we view ourselves as a club and the fact that we're out there engaging about this specific sort of stuff is interesting to me.

I’ve cancelled out your answer so you can rest easy.  My cup is half full but I am resilient to disappointment

Can we as a club run for government? We'd piss it imo.

Graham Alexander insists Motherwell will continue to cast the net wide for hidden talent after confirming the capture of “exciting” Bohemians midfielder Ross Tierney.

The 20-year-old is set to move to Fir Park at the end of the League of Ireland season in December after agreeing a three-year deal.

The LoI has been a tried and tested talent well in recent years with St Mirren's capture of Jamie McGrath and Conor McCarthy and Hearts' signing Aaron McAneff among the best imports from the Emerald Isle.

And after a breakthrough campaign with Bohs - which saw Tierney make four appearances in the Europa Conference League - Alexander is confident he’s uncovered the next Irish star.

Well signed Finland international defender Juhani Ojala from Danish club Vejle and fellow stopper Sondre Siolholm Johansen from Norwegian minnows Mjondalen in the summer.

And Alexander said: “Ross is a player we tried to sign in the summer, even to the end of the window.

“We had an agreement with Bohemians that we would allow him to finish the season over in Ireland.

“He is an exciting young player who will come in and enhance our firepower and our quality.

“It’s been a long one, and it’s still not over the line as he still isn’t here yet.

“But we are delighted that he is coming to join us.

“He’s an attacking midfielder who can play in the front three, he creates opportunities and can score. He works his socks off and he is still only 20.

“After speaking to him quite a bit he was dead keen on the opportunity of coming to play for us so we are delighted.

“There’s good players all over the world. We found Sol and Juhani - one in their prime and and another pre-prime.

"We have built a scouting department and network but we know where we are in the food chain - not at the top.

“So we have to look at other markets and we are just looking for good players. We don’t care where they come from or what their background is.

“If they are good players and motivated about coming to Motherwell we are happy to bring them in.

“We think Ross will be a right good addition.”

McGinley triple whammy there, run into trouble, dive to tip ball with hand and conceded foul, allow ChaCha to do whatever he did to put it I got he back of the net.

if that’s not a demotion then I don’t know what is.

This game was a top 6, 6-pointer and I fear weak elements in our team that we’ve all seen are to blame.

I simply don't understand how Alexander looks at the last 2 performances, sees that Grimshaw and SOD are issues and then ignores them?

We were winning because we were actually making opportunities and defending well. Now we are doing neither and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight. Honestly I won't be surprised to lose to St Mirren and Rangers which would result in Septembers  Manager of the Month lose all 5 games in October.

O'Donnell, McGinley, Goss, Grimshaw and Woolery need to be out the team for Wednesday. Maybe even van Veen as well. 

We've got plenty of players in the squad that will be happy to show what they can do. Give them a chance.
