Hammell gave him a debut in his first game in charge but we've not really seen him since. I think he picked up an injury which kept him out the squad. From the POV that he's been in and around the first team squad when he's been available and Hammell was happy enough to chuck him in for his debut in the circumstances he did (2 days after Alexander had been binned) he probably falls into the "well thought of" bracket. Needs games etc. He seems a busy midfielder and the club's media team did a wee feature on him earlier in the season.

I know for a fact he was mega pissed at not getting some sub appearances especially when some of the other younger players were getting an appearance recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome_Devil Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Doesn't sound like we strolled it but can't complain about a win and a clean sheet. And the joy of rotation - two goals from the bold MM gives Hammell a decision to make next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillips455 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 It was announced at the atch today that there was 2067 motherwell fans. That's a good away support (roughly half the total amount of 4100). Thankfully we didn't dissapoint however, there wasn't and awful lot in the game and even teams like Ross county or Kilmarnock would easily take advantage of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much in lots of the games we've contrived to lose (or at least not win) recently...hopefully squeezing one in our favour gives us a much needed boost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye exactly, almost all our dropped points have come from games that 'haven't had much in it' and the team haven't been getting much sympathy for it so can't play down a win because there wasn't much in it ! More to the point when I saw the bold Mikael was starting I stuck a fiver on him bagging a brace and he produced the goods, hopefully this can really kick-start our season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 It hadn't really occurred to me until just now but it feels like this season has had everything so far except a drab loss at NDP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allroy for Prez Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Not much of a game today but a really decent travelling support and really enjoyable jaunt. All 3 of our new signings looked decent in moments. Slatterly, Spittal and Goss were all absolutely rotten! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Today wasn't spectacular but we did what you want in a game like that - didn't give Arbroath any encouragement and got a couple of goals. I would be surprised if we change a clean sheet defence, so SODs and Sol with arse splinters again next week 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamMFC Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 It wasn’t pretty by any means but it was a great day out and we found a way to get the win which is all that matters with added bonus of a clean sheet. Fingers crossed Blaney keeps his place next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Blaney looked good. Why did KVV put in that tackle? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casagolda Posted January 21, 2023 Author Share Posted January 21, 2023 We hadn't won a game or kept a clean sheet since October, we were never gonna just turn up and roll over them. Chuck in the heavy pitch and their direct approach it was never going to be a classic. We stood up to it all though and Kelly never had a thing to do other than save one pot shot from distance(which even I would have held). Where as we were guilty of passing up 3 or 4 really good chances to finish the tie a lot earlier. We got the win we badly needed though as well as the clean sheet. Blaney strolled it at the back and big Mandron got himself off the mark with a couple of goals. Johnston impressed again and McKinstry's starting to add a consistent end product to his undoubted ability. All things considered, today went about as well as we could have possibly hoped. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceiling Granny Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Good day out, in the next round, clean sheet and not as cold as anticipated. I’ll take that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two new front men looked to go forward but the core of the team still looked to play a backward pass. The midfield could have dominated, but didn’t. McKinstry’s cut back for the goal showed maturity. Bring on the draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole midfield were very passive. Still would love us to sign a 6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Goss and Slattery were murder. Blaney looks Morris levels of one footed, but he looks fuckin brave, so let's see what we've got. McGinn good. Johnston really really good, imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
