I’d pay a lot of money to charge at Liam Kelly in bubble football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayWell Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 3 minutes ago, Handsome_Devil said: You're certainly not but we've rattled through managers recently for various reasons and one of them is it's very hard to find a good one. A new manager will either be someone who is inexperienced - which I believe everyone is against - or someone who has failed elsewhere. And if we go for the latter, hoping he'll learn from his mistakes, why not stick with SK instead to see if he learns from his? He certainly has plenty in the plus column as well. I definitely wouldn't renew him now but it's still very much 50-50 and his job to keep if we finish reasonably. Do see where you're coming from, I just think Kettlewell has already shown he doesn't typically admit when he's got it wrong and hasn't done enough to allow us to change our approach, ie signing no wingers and about 40 full-backs. Last two performances, and results, have been completely on him and his inability to change things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take him out the firing line for a couple of games even if he's still number one (big if ofc). He looks like he's walking on eggshells. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not close at all. Losing an eminently winnable Scottish cup tie to a team with a lower budget at a game I attended and spent the best part of £200 (inc accommodation) v a decent away point against a team that have spent a small fortune on their squad. Even regardless of the circumstances. If only we could sort out the Goalie and defence we would probably have made the top 6. Again everyone was concentrating on forward players when it was clear our biggest issues were the goalkeeper and central defence. Game after game that show up as clearly as ever. Everyone mentions how many games won in xx games. What actually matters is where we sit in the league. Right now we are 7th with a budget of 9th or 10th. Barring a collapse and fall back to one of the bottom 2 spots Kettlewell will be here next season and quite rightly imho. Edit to add - Theo Bair - what a man. Hats off. Probably the biggest surprise package of the season. Few saw it coming. Myself included. I reckon £2m transfer value as it stands Edited February 14 by welldaft 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be, if we make changes and shore up the back but Hearts massive favourites without being bankers I would say. If you played it ten times I think Hearts would win 6 or 7 times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 With 12 draws, we're now at our 2nd highest total since the 38 game league started in 2000 (with 13 games of the season to go). The only time we've drawn more was under Brown / Gannon in 2009/10, a stat which doesn't surprise me. 7 points clear of County and 13 points clear of tells me that it's growing more and more unlikely we will go down. We've lost one game in nine. Do you hear of teams going down with stats like that? I can't really remember hearing of teams in the thick of it in April and May because they'd drawn too many games. My biggest annoyance is that we seemed more organised and resolute against St. Johnstone, Killie and Ross County, only to have seemingly undone all of that in the last week, with everyone back to being a quivering wreck every time the ball goes near our box. Kelly was every ounce a man absolutely stripped of confidence tonight and as I said yesterday, it appears to rub off on those around him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Fan Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 In game management is naive yet again. Graham Alexander wouldn't have thrown that match. Aberdeen changed formation and we never reacted. Other than shitting the bed defensively. Kelly can forget his Scotland place, which is part of Kettlewells loyalty towards him. The guy has no confidence and it permeates throughout the defence.. And McLean and Tosh are a couple of slevering prize plums. Two arseholes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I've a lot of things on over the summer. Stuart Kettlewell being the Motherwell Manager when I get back from the Euros may move my season ticket renewal from the "when?" section to the "if" section. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton showed a few days ago exactly what you do (grim as it is). In any case, we're not allowed nice things this season - it's the rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kettlewell goes behind and chucks 10 attackers on. Some kind of crossover manager might be fun. Answering the point - you are correct, Alexander looked to protect that lead which in the SPL is crucial to shitfesting up the table, not pretty but that's why we finished in the top six. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rowsdower Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Just to turn it around a little bit, Aberdeen needed a warnock tactical masterclass to draw at home with motherwell, with Thelonius Bair scoring twice. Also, drop Kelly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
