JamesP_81 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 1 hour ago, dezz said: Aye, his interview yesterday made it pretty clear he won’t be going back there. Wonder if it’s purely a footballing decision or if he wants to get back closer to home? He was on the bench a good few times for the Leeds first team last season at only 19, but if I remember right there was some chat he’d had a bit of a tough time personally down there? Would love it if he became a big player for us over the course of the season and signs back permanently. Glad to see my itk post about his homesickness at the start of the season ( get yer kids along to Krazy Kongo soft play at M&D's for some more behind the scenes scoops) is coming to fruition , just need to get the 10 year contract thrashed out now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Posted this before but there's a good long read about McKinstry by Phil Hay on The Athletic. There's no paywall on mobile as far as I can see (I just had a read on my phone). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archie McSquackle Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 My wife was a bit perplexed at me getting more excited than a middle-aged man should be at the sight of big Sol in Tesco Maryhill this afternoon. It was either him or another very good-looking big beardy man - looked a bit out of place in Tesco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can corroborate this with seeing him on Byres Road a few months ago and getting similarly flustered. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) The ways we find to throw away points each weekend is extraordinary...even by our standards that was an absolute shocker.

MP_MFC Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 We simply have to change that centre half partnership - every week they come up with new ways to f**k up and lose a man at a goal. If Connor shields never starts again for us it’ll be too soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Another game lost because we have no ability to stop opposition players running with the ball. I'd rather lose the point trying to chase for a win, but that was a cheap one to concede. Moult looked half decent, and Van Veen was more effective when he came on. Shame the former can't play 90 mins. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Yes the issue with the third was the boy strolling through the middle, the hand ball can happen when the ball gets fired at you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoF Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 On a positive note, Moult looks like he still has a bit of quality and he definitely changed the dynamic. Hopefully we see more of him and Kev on the pitch together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Moult went up front and KVV played behind (and got much more involved) but by the end the roles were reversed, was Moult knackered? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'WellDel Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I know we're down to the bare bones personnel wise, but f**k me that was dire. The game had a bit of everything and was probably quite entertaining for the neutral, whereas I spent almost the entire 90mins in a perma-rage with that display, considering having the man advantage for so long. Some of the decision making and slackness was dire. Play anything like that on Wednesday and Celtic will have a fucking field day. We can have no complaints coming away empty handed based on our performance, but refereeing incompetence didn't help. If Gordon rightfully walks for a second yellow, I'm betting his replacement doesn't get close to that Goss effort. A superb save which he shouldn't have been on the park to make, although the red card they did get was never one imo. Ref and var were a shambles but unfortunately it's here to stay and I don't see how they improve it. Expecting the square root of heehaw from Wednesdays game so next weekend at McDiarmid looks massive in deciding if we go into the break alongside the mid table group, or if we're down with the couple at the bottom. I'm fearing it will be the latter. Said from the start it will be a squeaky bum season and it definitely seems to be coming to pass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I got a ticking off from the wife when I let out an expletive laden rant when I checked and saw the score was 3-2 after being elated when we got back to 2-2. The dog was not best pleased either. Times like these I actually dislike being a Motherwell fan. There are not too many upsides but plenty of downsides. I actually think we have a decent starting 11. For the most part they are decent footballers. Shields apart. The problem is that you need more than that. You need heart and you need an edge a mental and physical toughness. Teams like Livi and St Johnstone have that. Not got better players than us but would either team have lost 3-2 in 89 minute to 10 men. No way. Would an Alexander team have lost that game. I don’t think so. I will check for the Celtic score and that will be all. I was thinking of going to Perth next week as a long time with the World Cup and all that. But todays result has me thinking I would be better off saving my money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Alexander teams did lose that game, and plenty of others too. We were shite today, but nostalgia for the guy that fucked the Sligo tie after months of horrible horrible football and left us with this squad is a bit much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the right time for him to go and I am not yearning for him to come back. But I do seem to remember plenty of games when we were winning narrowly and we saw it out. Yes he did pack the defence in order to do so. It was also not pretty but it was effective. So worth commenting on when we have lost yet another late goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Alexander once put on a defender after we scored in the 119th minute and it was 1-1 60 seconds later. So shit happens to everyone. But I agree I don't think we'd have lost from 2-2 today or from 1-1 v St Johnstone for example. Just because GA's tenure ended in farce doesn't mean he never had any positives. Acknowledging that isn't a 'wish you were here', it's just the realistic view that for all Hammellball might be a refreshing change, he also needs to so the nitty gritty of picking up points occasionally... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 We're a team absolutely crying out for...basically a bunch of the players that left. O'Hara barrelling around midfield, and Roberts with a bit of pace and aerial ability out wide, Woolery with some direct running, would improve us immeasurably right now. Looking down the bench every week at the moment and it's basically "chuck moult on I guess" because there's f**k all else. Desperation point for just more bodies and something different than what we have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
