Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

For what it's worth, I'm not surprised to see wee Al in the Prem. Every season with us he got incrementally better, and judging by his 40 odd appearances and a few goals/assists in the championship he's done the same at Luton. Could well end up a similar career to mcginn at villa.

Not meaning to be detrimental as I love the wee guy but my memory has it he was outstanding when he came in for half a season, continued the following season, then saw haddies like Cadden off to Ibrox on £1m over 4 years and if anything his form and contributions dropped. It was not a continual rise in C&A.

Time to get over the Chris Cadden thing lads. 

Absolutely. One of the rare missteps by The Thread.

Wasn't a big enough player to have this much fuss made about him. Did us a turn, moved on. 

Comparisons of Campbell to John McGinn are also more than a stretch. Becoming part of a Premier League team is an outstanding achievement but he won't kick on at that level. 

 

Anyway on to today.

KVV hat trick and a years extension.

Being incredibly petty is in inherent part of being a football fan, so you can f**k off with your "time to move on from the Cadden stuff" spiel.

Haha. Tbf it's an entirely convincing argument.

Complete lack of coverage of Van Veen’s potential record breaking opportunities this weekend in the press.

If I understand correctly then…

* He scores 1 then he is out on his own for goals scored in consecutive games post war in the top league

* He scores 2 then he hits his own target of 30

* He scores 3 then he is joint top scorer in the league this year.

* He scores 4 to be top scorer.

 

Cue him shooting a blank after missing a couple of penalties…

How we finished the game is the line up that should have started.

It shows you how poor our defence is without Casey and Butcher. Mugabi is a bomb scare.

I would say Obiki is a much much better player than Mandron but would give neither a contract for next season. 

I honestly do not see what SK sees in Mandron?.

Why anyone things O'Donnell is any good never mind get the captaincy back needs their head's examined.

Spittal should be offered an extension, everything good we did came through him today and has been outstanding for SK.

I will miss KVV and Max Johnston 😭

Can't disagree with any of that.

I think the issue for next season will be replacing Kev's contribution which you'd be doing well to secure two 15 goal forwards. It's gonna be two wages and an extra body in the squad and both have been cited as issues.

Today was further evidence that Bevis has probably been charmed to be with us for so long. Mandron is from the same school of footballing ability.

As has been conveyed, our defence was a major downgrade without Casey and Butcher, plus SOD is a shadow of what Max offers. Furlong was also poor for me today.

Surprised that Slattery took the freekick which was in prime Kev territory.

Season ends on a high but let's be honest it's been the lions share of three seasons now of some pretty turgid stuff. I think we're all enthused with what Ketts will do in the summer with what he has and when he goes shopping.
