YassinMoutaouakil Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I like Robinson but I do think folk are placing a MASSIVE amount of stock in St Mirren having a relatively decent 3-4 months. I'm not sure we'll be clamouring for anybody in their side come the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) I mean, I liked the idea of Mark O'Hara but after 3 seasons at the club with 2 different managers the fact that we were still none the wiser as to what his best position was by the time he left along with him supposedly being one of our highest earners means I'm kind of fine with him having a nice time in Paisley. Tbh, with his excitable-Labrador-chasing-a-ball approach to the fitba I'm not entirely sure he'd be particularly suited to Hammell-ball anyway and I doubt that he'd be the answer to any of our current problems given he didn't really have the discipline to play as a holding mid when he was used there. That's before you even get into his injury record. He only started 15 games last season and featured in 21 of 46 games - he was 17th when it game to minutes played. The bold Juhani played more minutes than MO'H. Edited November 14, 2022 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 I think O'Hara signed as a box-to-box midfielder, was mainly played as a holding midfielder and played his best football for us as a centre-back. When he finally got his shot in that role last season after Campbell departed, I don't think he was good enough at it. As usual, every game you thought he was a player was followed by two you wondered if he was playing. Alexander's tactics may have contributed to this, but still. It annoys me to see him scoring headers and long rangers for St. Mirren that he didn't score for us, but it doesn't make me want him back. I've been far from enthused by Spittal so far, but even he has been involved in more goals than O'Hara has in his good season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) It's a low bar, but Spittal having 3 goals by November feels basically unheard of for any recent Motherwell midfielder not called David Turnbull?

Neil86 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Heard that we are after that Dipo Akinyemi from Ayr, willing to pay a fee. Suspect the majority of the league will be on high alert though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapowzer Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Louis gets that footballers have a few different roles. They're are ambassadors, recruiting sergeants, schmooz and give good value to sponsors as well as performing on a Saturday. Showing up at the Scottish Cup Final in with the crowd elevated him beyond his goals but he's a class act whatever he does. Big Sol just brightens up everything, he's just sooo dreamy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 This isn’t a rumour or anything, it’s just a debate we recently had at work and since there’s no game for ages I thought I’d post it here. Would Chris Cadden get a game for us? And if yes what position? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
