Will never forget Falkirk's utter meltdown at losing Sibbald to us for a similar fee. Genuinely hilarious. I can imagine it'd be something along those lines 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 (edited) Dropped this in the United match thread. Fwiw our split of games have been: Home: St Johnstone (L), Livi (W), United (X), Hearts (L), Rangers (L), Aberdeen (L) Away: St Mirren (W), Aberdeen (W), Killie (L), Celtic (L), County (W), Hibs (L) For reference this was how it split out last season.

joewarkfanclub Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 If we had got what we deserved against United and Hearts, our home form and season in general would be looking quite decent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 When I first looked at the fixture list I was pleased we had an easier start. This has actually turned out to be a big negative. It has meant that from the beginning of September right up until we play St Johnstone on the 12th November the only team we will have played who arguably have a smaller budget would be Ross County. So almost 2.5 months (9 games) playing league teams with bigger budgets who in theory should beat Motherwell. This includes Celtic, Hearts and United x 2. Easy to see why we have had a tough time of it recently 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 There's the games against Hearts and Dundee Utd that our performances and chances merited something. There's the game against St. Johnstone where you would argue if you equalise in injury time you should manage to see the game out. There's also the argument that if we are 1-0 up against a newly promoted side with 20 minutes to go, we should take at least something from the game. However, all of those examples of dropped points are our own undoing. Also, on the contrary, St. Mirren absolutely pumped us 0-1 in the opening game of the season. Since the Hearts game, none of our results have been shameful. We've beaten the one sided I would have hoped / expected to beat and done so comfortably. The rest of the results in isolation are hardly embarassing or even questionable, but it's a grim run of fixtures. I think we were bedding in a new manager and a new style (which was of course a great necessity) at a time where due to the run of fixtures, we would wanted to have been banking more points when the teething problems arose. Had the club had the bravery to part ways with Alexander in May and we'd had all summer (and more than two pre-season friendlies) we may have ironed out those teething issues sooner. My main concern is that between now and the World Cup, none of the fixtures are bankers and there's no easy points between now and then. That brings us back after the break on an awful run of form unless we pick up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have fixtures all through January while the window is open which has the potential to f**k us up IMO. Previously, under Robinson at least, we always seemed able to use the break to re-set and it coincided with being able to bring in a couple of new players and get them bedded in at a training camp.

Casagolda Posted October 28, 2022 Author Share Posted October 28, 2022 (edited) Joe out till the new year, Moult hopefully back in the next week or so and Aarons is away back down south. So it looks like we’re going largely with what we’ve got till January. Edited October 28, 2022 by Casagolda 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukovic Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 This isn't ideal. No one who is a free agent at this point is really worth signing. Hope there's a decent winger amongst the youth players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezz Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Poor Joe. Just as it looked liked he was figuring out this whole football-thing. It’s going to be a tough old slog until January at this rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
