Shaka Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Id go for a 3-5-2 comprising of Stewart Hutch Ramsden McManus Kerr Carswell Lawson Vigurs Hammell Moore McFadden Sutton , ZFA , Lasley to come on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well Up For It! Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 Going on form of the two teams, got to say a draw. But if we have ant hopes of top 6 I'd say this is a must win game for us as it would stop the rot and pick us up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Jules Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Went on the County forum earlier and they are basically saying the same as us, playing shite at the moment not happy with the summer signings expecting a hard game but see us as a good opportunity to bounce back after a poor run of form. I think some County fans have been calling for Derek Adams to go as well. At least we're not the only disgruntled fans in the SPL right now.

I mean according to some folk on here we have the most fickle, ungrateful and rash fans in the game. It's only Motherwell fans who would be annoyed at recent poor form, poor summer signings and want a change of manager is it not? Doesn't their forum have members on hand to remind them of the bad old days and how they have no right to criticise given where they were say, ten years ago??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilmour Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Ok cup game gone and the money with it, can do nothing about it. Celtic game events off field overtook how poor we were. All thats over, time to kick on and get points in the bag. As poor we are I still fee we should be too strong for them. 3 -1 weth the strikers a point to prove COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-in-Oz Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Bit harsh to say the strikers have a point to prove. We could have Van Persie up front but if we have no one in midfield creating chances for him then he's not gonna score. Compared to Van Persie our strikers are pish poor so what chance have they got of scoring if we have no one supplying them with quality balls. The problem the team has is in the middle of the park we have no creativity, we are as slow as treacle and if we don't pass it sideways or backwards we inevitibly lose it. How many times have we lost a goal from a breakaway from one of our attacks but when we are trying to breakaway the opposition has time to have a cup of tea, a quick shag and still get back in time to defend our breakaway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 It'll be interesting if the keeper from Dundee plays a blinder tomorrow. No doubt we'll here complaints about why we didn't pick him up for free in the summer rather than Nielsen as I'm pretty sure he'd have been a cheaper option...

Tweed Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 We might need to save the youth keeper for a big game in their league. Joking apart, if we lose 1-0 today and the youth keeper is at fault for the goal it could break him if he isn't ready for it. I don't know anything about Ross Stewart other than his name and if he is ready I'm all for playing him, but goalkeeper is the one position I wouldn't throw him in if he isn't because he could get pilloried. Which I am sure will be why there is an emergency loan rule in place for goalkeepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 If the Dundee reserve keeper plays, surely it only shows that McCall wants a result and wants the best possible player in each position and feels he's better than Stewart? Whether I'd do the same is another question. I've already stated in other threads that I'd write off this season and play youngsters. But it's easier for me to say results don't matter than it is for McCall. My job isn't to get wins for Motherwell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 The only time i've seen our youth keeper was in the pre-game warm up a few weeks back. Players were doing the take a touch and shoot from the edge of the box drill. Sadly, the majority of them seemed to be scoring for fun. Obviously it wasnt a match situation, but that drill didnt fill me with confidence in the young keeper. Maybe mccall is correct to get a replacement in. I would say however being number 2 at dundee means hes not going to be the ruddy/randolph replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 If the dundee reserve keeper gets on the pitch it will only show the disregard McCall holds for our youth system Bollox. What is does show is that he believes the loan keeper to be more solid and likely to help us secure a point or 3. That is all. Edit to add - MB makes same point above.

Andy H Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 What do I want from today?? A shot on goal would be nice! Got the prediction for the Celtic game spot on unfortunately, lets see if I can go 2 in a row. I have a feeling there are going to be quite a few goals today, 2-3 with Sutton, Moore and Faddy scoring for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Superwell Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Here is todays team as per Twitter page. Motherwell: Twardzik, Hammell, Ramsden, Hutchinson, McManus, Sutton, Vigurs, Lasley, Carswell, Anier, Ainsworth Motherwell subs: Stewart, McFadden, Lawson, Cummins, Moore, Murray, Leitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 No harm to either player but why are Ainsworth and Anier playing? Twardzik, I have less of an issue with. As Tweed said earlier, goalkeeper is a tricky position to blood a youngster. But I'd imagine both of the outfield loanees would be on their way in January. I'd rather see us play Moore and a U20s winger play. Can't contribute any less than the other two have in recent games... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 absolute pish. Ross Stewart may be untried but so is Twardzik! This guy is the reserve keeper of a team in the league below us and has never played a minute for them or Aberdeen before them or the Italian amateur team he played for before Aberdeen signed him. What the fuck do our youngsters have to do to get a fair crack? The only way Ross Stewart is ever going to develop is to give him some game time and see how he copes. The guy has played regularly for our u-20s and is involved with Scotland at youth levels so there must be something about him! Same with Moore,comes in and is the single bright spark in our team when were crying out for anything resembling flair and then dumped back on the bench as quick as he is brought in. Honestly If I was a youth player id get the fuck away from Motherwell as long as McCall is boss, in nearly 3 years as weve brought through 1 player in Carswell and even that has been a lot down to us having very little else in the squad .

Andy_P Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Let's be honest though, we are getting to the point that if McCall said he'd combed his hair this morning, some people would be fucking raging he didn't use a hairbrush. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
