gary_411 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) Bizarrely more sure than at any point in the last three months that we'd be as well getting rid of Kettlewell, but can see why he's earned himself a bit of time. That was absolute torture today in the second half. Absolutely no ambition to do anything against the shitest team in the league. Bair's second was a beauty but Livi absolutely gifted us the three points today, for me. There was a huge opportunity to build some confidence today but our manager and our captain seemed only to want to shit fest it when it came to it in the second half. Also left wondering how McGinn is back fit and Spencer is starting and O'Donnell is still starting. Another senior player who's just showed so little in the way of leadership on the pitch. At least from the stands anyway. Left without too much to be optimistic about despite the win today. Maybe I'm wrong though.

Dav nan Gael Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Motherwell deserved all 3pts end off. As for us,I'm hearing Martindale has lost the dressing room and that's official. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim McLean's Ghost Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 The first half today was excellent, maybe says mor about Livi than us. We were getting forward on both flanks, pressing high and looked really dangerous. Second half was a non-event. Livi had a few shots from the edge of the box but otherwise it was a total shitfest. I'm not going to pretend I was a fan of signing Bair but it was quickly apparent to me that the guy is a very hard worker and had more going for him than other options. You have to wonder if Martindale will last much longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busta Nut Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Said it on our thread but SK setting the team up that way deserved him getting the sack. Luckily we were playing Livi 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly. After our second goal I thought we were finally putting in a big performance, so much so I even considered heading through to Easter Road on Tuesday to show some solidarity and appreciation. That second half was among the worse this season and it really feels like we're no further forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the general opinion of Motherwell fans and we couldn't lay a glove on you then Livi are well and truly f*cked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a shame he's intent on starting 5 at the back and the tactic being to hoof it in the general direction of Guthrie, hadn't worked for months but maybe next time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i saw he blamed the players for performance today. As @Dav nan Gaelsays it would appear he has last the dressing room which is sad. Times up for me.

I think Carson had it right and it was the 4-2-3-1/4-4-1-1 from the off. Nouble and Penrice were pushing far higher on the left than Montaño and Nottingham on the right, so that lop-sidedness might've obscured things a bit. Whatever it was, that it failed entirely is all that matters now. Edit: Martindale said in his match review he did start with a back three but made an early change to a back four when it was still 0-0.

well fan for life Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 We did look like it was maybe going to click for us after going 2 up. Theloneus' second to make it 3-1 was sublime. That second half was some of the worst football I've seen in years from everybody involved, though. Happy we won but it was still a tactical tombola and I hope we never play that 2 man midfield ever again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 That's a pretty wild post match from Martindale. Can't imagine the players will be sound with that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
