We were more like ourselves 2nd half. Woolery is rapid. He can fairly turn a man as well. Lawless was a handful for the opposition and unfairly tarnished by the usual suspects on here. Van Veen is going to be a star. As for Tony the guy just never gives up. Thought O'connor was calm in defence and mopped up well. Was great to be back in the stadium. Great day for it as well. Panty wetters can calm the fuck down now. Sent from my LYA-L09 using Tapatalk
A very poor first half but a far better second one. On balance deserved the win. Lots of issues to be ironed out though. More gametime for the players. Impressed by young Cornelius today. Van Veen and Woolery caught the eye.
We weren't bad in the first half but we had so much more intensity when we had something to chase.
If we can start games with that intensity instead of waiting to fall behind we could be a very exciting team to watch.
So, if we get beaten once in the opening four games, come April - ten months way - we'll be bottom six.
Even for a Motherwell fan, thats an impressive dedication to pessimism there.
At 2-0 down I decided it was such a nice day I would forego the stream and walk the dog.
Should do it more often.
Caught the goals and highlights at the end. Van Veen was voted MOM. He was unlucky not to score.
We are still weak in CB even though the young lad equipped himself well again. Against top flight opposition we will struggle. Same with midfield. I know players are missing and we are still trying to bring in a few more. I like Carroll but easy to see why McGinley is likely to be favoured as he was at the end of last season.
Also a shame Shields could not play a part today v his old team. Apparently a problem with his hamstring. Hopefully not too long before he gets in the squad / team.
All in all a good result and should set us up nicely to draw the strongest non seed and top flight side away as we always do.
This.
We all know the first XI and squad are short of quality especially in midfield.
Today's result was irrelevant to our league season, win, lose or draw.
The player recruitment between now and the window closing will determine how we do this season.
Until then it's premature to judge our squad, our form or our results.
We're miles off right now you'd have to be super duper happy clappy to think we aren't.
However it's July.
Everyone just needs to calm down a bit and wait and see what happens.
Not disagreeing on the numbers, it’s how it’ll be managed that’s of interest to me.
Are folks that desperate to see live action they would socially distance in all four corners of the ground? That’s not a matchday experience for me & I’d wager many others will be of similar thought.
Grown to like having my father sat alongside - that’s ‘our’ time. No interaction amongst the friends and regulars around me another sticking point that would see me drift.
