Archie McSquackle Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Going by the radio commentary on Sunday, there were sections of the St. Mirren pitch invasion over goading the Dundee United support. Don't know how many were involved but there doesn't seem to have been much made of it. Wonder why? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) New transfer rumour lads...Daniel Powell from Northampton. Another "forward". An "unpredictable" winger no less. 6ft 2 like. Disappointing lack of YouTube edits though. Edited May 31, 2019 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, it was a much larger pitch invasion, with much less goading, rather than everyone running over to laugh at Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 The most significant result for us in the last decade, perhaps longer. Most importantly we avoided relegation but on a psychological level, beating Rangers in that manner was massive for us. After years of rolling over to them, we obliterated them on the park over those two games and off the park we stood our ground and gave them the allocation that WE wanted them to get for our home game. Time was, neither would have happened. And showing that bottling shitebag McCall up for the tactically inept simpleton I always had him pegged for was just the icing on the cake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Hopefully any negotiations we have with Celtic consist of Alan Burrows running about with his laptop and telling Lawell to f**k off. Also, I've decided we're definitely winning a cup this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gianfranco Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 f**k knows why Twitter does stuff like this but, they just sent me a notification to say Motherwell F.C. and Alan Burrows just followed Dom Yarwood. It’s a false alarm though because the guy is a football agent rather than a player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lack of a YouTube compilation is unfortunate, we all know it’s the only true way to judge potential new signings. Going purely off blind stats instead(equally valid method), he seems to have a very reasonable return for goals/assists at League 1 level at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going a step further into the utterly tragic here's his FM19 data. FWIW: I think that story in The Sun about him being a Main replacement is going to have misled some folk. He definitely seems to be a wide player rather than a centre forward (which is why I've linked this nonsense tbh). Looking at Northampton's 'retained list' announcement from last month it seems they offered him a new deal rather than straight up binning him (unlike Ash Taylor). Which is something I guess. Quote Daniel Powell has been offered new terms, while John-Joe O'Toole has an option arising from his existing contract and the club are awaiting the player's decision. To bring it back to @Casagolda's point about Robinson having a type and it looks absolutely true. Comparing Gboly, Hastie, Hylton (and potentially Powell) with Frear and it's a pretty clear contrast in terms of attributes (nothing against Frear btw). Unpredictable, mercurial wrecking-ball wingers? I'm absolutely here for it tbqh. Edited June 1, 2019 by capt_oats 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 How many wingers can we get in the team, 4 across the front? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, we’ve already confirmed Frear and Hastie have gone, Cadden looks rather unlikely that he’ll be playing for us next season and despite us trying to keep Ariyibi, he hasn’t yet signed. Surely that means the only winger we can guarantee that we have is Hylton, meaning we’ve potentially lost 4 and so far only have confirmed 1. Makes sense to be looking for a good few Edited June 1, 2019 by CSmith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that means the only winger we can guarantee that we have is Hylton. Related to that, the official site has now refreshed the squad lists (Cadden's still there for the moment): First Team: GK: Carson / Ferguson / Gillespie DF: Tait / Hartley / Dunne / Donnelly MF: Cadden / Campbell / Grimshaw / Turnbull FW: Johnson / Tanner Reserves: GK: Morrison / Hemfrey DF: Livingstone / Maguire / Devine / Brown / Hussain MF: Cornelius / Kettings / McAlear FW: Scott / Semple / Starrs Obviously there are PCAs to arrive in the shape of Gallagher, Polworth, Carroll, Sloth and Hylton but it definitely reinforces just how thin we are in the forward area. It's pretty sparse particularly in terms of the sort of centre forward we'll need to stick with the #SexyMotherwell style. Even when you look at the Reserves: Semple's being viewed as a midfielder rather than a forward now. Cornelius, Kettings and McAlear are all centre mids and McKinstry's fucked off to Leeds so there's not a lot by way of width in that group either (I've no idea who's getting promoted from the Academy this year).
