Pepper Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Managing to amass a squad of players that are so dysfunctional, literally, that you have to go cap in hand to 'The Rat' should have every one of our custodians thoroughly ashamed of themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reidy Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 If we don’t have a redemption interview with Tony set within his Chicken coop by the time this week’s out then our social media output really has lost it’s way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vietnam91 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Does getting robust and old faithful Tony Watt put Kyle Magennis and Ryan Jack chat to bed or are they still in the mix? If Tony is on brand he'll question Goodwin's training methods by Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurrayWell Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 You'd imagine we're still looking to add a midfielder? I know folk have said we have a good few, but the majority are broken and Tony Watt is not a midfielder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) Oor Tony is definitely saying all the right things in terms of #narrative and it's interesting to see the comments and likes on his IG post or more specifically who they're from (hint: lots of ex-Motherwell players). Also a giggle to find out that Robert Snodgrass is Watt's agent given the whole palaver with Hammell. f**k it...I'm all in on this.

Butters Scotch Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) The Watt situation at United is curious. He was punted out to St Mirren on loan by Goodwin in our relegation season to then come back to us following season and did pretty well especially towards the end, banged in a few goals to help us win the league. He was also made vice captain and captained the team a fair amount considering Docherty's injury issues. He praised Goodwin in the media more than once and Goodwin praised Watt for how he has been helping the youth players in particular at United so i'm unsure where this fallout has derived from all of a sudden. This year, we have decided to go with a completely new system and it appears Goodwin wants to rid the club of Watt's wages to help fund new signings and perhaps he thinks he doesn't suit his new system. He came on towards the end of the game against Stenhousemuir in the LC and it was embarrassing watching him just walking around the pitch disinterested. The problem we found with Watt was that he was always shifted out to the left and was never the central striker in his time at us apart from the odd game. I always thought he performed better when he was more central as when he was played as the wide forward, he just continually slowed the game down, no pace to go past a player so would go down easy at every opportunity and flung his arms up complaining to the ref. Now that we have Trapanowski in his position, it's hoenstly night and date and you can see why Goodwin decided to get rid. I still think he will be a decent signing for you guys though if he can screw nut. Edited August 13 by Butters Scotch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Watt front, I wasn't keen when this rumour first emerged but f**k it, given we have about three and a half fit players we may as well roll the dice. I like the sound of that. 5 minutes ago, Butters Scotch said: The problem we found with Watt was that he was always shifted out to the left and was never the central striker I hope we play him centrally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the seven senior midfielders we have listed, three are injured long-term and one is a project (Sparrow).

As it stands we're probably something like this just now? Absolutely gone at these injuries btw. Edited August 13 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd agree that we could do with a new midfielder in, even if it's just short term. *Cough, cough* Alex Gorrin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 (edited) I think Watt's played with more of our current squad at other clubs- Gordon, Callachan (St Johnstone) and Nicholson (Hearts)- than at Motherwell (just Slattery and SOD if I'm right?) He's only been away two years Edited August 13 by YassinMoutaouakil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
