East_Stand_Al Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Who has spoken to Leanne then? Apparently she has spoken to droves of fans. Kinda depends on her/his true identity as to whether I am among the "Droves of fans" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 or better still, instead of paying the players, pay us punters to watch them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yassin Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 never ever have I spoke to Ian??? Why do you act like you're on first name basis with the guy then? It was mildly sycophantic before but now it turns out you aren't even connected to him it's just a bit odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santheman Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Leanne, I truly admire your attempts at trying to get us fans looking on the more positive aspects of the club. IB may well prove to be a great manager in time when he has his own team on the park and a good pre-season under his belt. I see the improvements in the background with new training methods (even the warm ups are better), new backroom staff and the young lads getting a chance, all positive and welcome but why:- Does he persevere with the same guys ( we all know who they are) who have failed to perform and make the same mistakes week after week. Persist in using the same tactics which have resulted in some of the worst football I have witnessed in 50 years of watching Motherwell. Has he been so far unable to improve team spirit and instill any fighting qualities. He does do a mean interview right enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted February 15, 2015 Report Share Posted February 15, 2015 Real disappointment for me yesterday was the fact that only 1 player came over to the travelling fans at the end of the match. Fair play John Sutton! Are you sure Dee? I saw quite a few players come over to applaud the fans at full time. Can't recall exactly but it must have been 7 or 8 at least. Agree that our best players were the new lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall exactly but it must have been 7 or 8 at least. Agree that our best players were the new lads. A few came over and stopped a few metres back from the fans but to his credit John Sutton came right over and engaged with the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed Yassin it does seem rather strange, however she only joined the forum on 1st January so may just be finding her way around. Ian.

Kmcalpin Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 anyone at Dingwall would know the best players were Ians signings, it is also very evident we are going in the right direction but it is also evident this season is about staying in the top division. Can't and won't disagree with any of that. Our poorest players were, in the main, ones who were signed before Ian Baraclough arrived. George Long and Conor Grant were clearly our best players. We created more chances yesterday than I've seen in any game this season. The challenge now is to make the defence and midfield more solid.

SteelmaninOZ Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 If I change my username to Shirley will I get more attention,anyway how about dropping prices for our next few home games?surely we need all the help we can get.

SteelmaninOZ Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 sorry but maybe Ian only rewards the players to clap the fans if the result warrants it. Bad practise to show your appreciation when you yourself dont warrant the honour. Not a dig at John, who himself could do with a bit more support (from the team). What a load of pish Leanne. When John Sutton was playing for the CCMariners in the A-League he and his team mates would go over to the home fans and if they were playing away would go over to the away fans. The players talk shake hands take pictures with the fans. All of the A-league teams do it win lose or draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daver Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 If the new lads were our best players on Saturday then at least the manager has made signings which have improved the team. I'm hopeful that with a few of the injured players returning we can start to pick up some wins. It has to happen very soon though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Saturday my thoughts are that we now have talent and pace in the side. Our problem is a lack of steel/determination/hardness. On Saturday I counted 4 occasions on which one of our lads tore through their stretched defence only to be wiped out or taken out cynically. Indeed County were every lucky indeed to end up with 11 men on the park. They could easily have had 2 men sent off. The new guys brought hope but we do need more solidity and hardness.

Bad practise to show your appreciation when you yourself dont warrant the honour. Not a dig at John, who himself could do with a bit more support (from the team).

Shire Greats Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 1424036585[/url]' post='432572']I've said it before get a grip Leanne we are absolutely shocking at the moment with no signs of improvement on the park. Finacially things are more stable but if you believe there has been some improvement in the playing side you are deluded. I'm part of the well society got a season ticket and have followed Motherwell home and away for the best part of fifty years. This is the worst team in my memory no doubt about it,I agree we were lucky last year but prior to that played some good stuff,time will tell but things don't look good at the moment. P.S how long is Ian's contract You're obviously a good well fan , jim, but no way is this the worst team in 50 years.Doesnt mean they're very good , mind you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn_Broomfield Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 This is the poorest league in terms of quality in my lifetime, so it's not that an outlandish statement. In the 80's the Scottish league was awash with top class footballers, certainly not the case in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
