Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

Equaliser very much against the run of play.

 

Blimey, a new experience, watching the Well and *not* wanting to gouge my eyes out with a spoon.  Hammy must already be doing good things behind the scenes, as the hoofball was reduced to a minimum, and we even pressed from the front

who knew that that pile of shite we thought we had can actually play!

Yeah, doesn't it already feel like they're good enough to fairly comfortably avoid relegation*?  We've certainly managed to make Aberdeen look ordinary, again.

Maybe it doesn't count when the team is already sitting on the mantelpiece 😄

 

(*Famous last words, jinxed it)

Assuming that’s our baseline with Hammell we will be fine. 

There is no point getting carried away but it was as clear as day that the shackles were off a few players there - imagine we played with that tempo and freedom against Sligo...

To make a noticeable change and to win a game comfortably means that Hammy has started as well as we could have hoped. Defence still needs a huge amount of work but if we're scoring 3, that's fine.

Just a few subtle changes and a lot more belief in the players.

I guess it was still a 4-3-3 but nearer a 4-1-4-1 with Cornelius and Slattery given the job of pushing forward to close down the ball and the wide forwards staying wide instead of chasing all over the place. Made our attacking play more predictable as in our players knew where our forwards were going to be making their runs from. It just seemed easier to get forward. Even when Efford came on he was able to cover the left side of the park and provide an attacking outlet on the left flank.

I found it hard watching Cornelius today and not feeling frustrated in amongst being so impressed with him. He's obviously miles away from the finished article as you would expect but the fact that he wasn't getting the game time he needs to get there is a huge waste of time. He needs played, even when his form shades as he looks perfectly suited to our level of football.

Also, I think it's fine (and a good thing) when a player knocks his pan in for an hour and then needs replaced as he's utterly fucked - with the number of subs we're allowed now, it should be a standard thing to do.
