keebo86 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Pleased with this. Yes his workrate in the first half of the season was questionable but he has a shot like a cannon and when on song would get a game for anyone in the league outside Celtic. He's suspended for the first 2 games mind. Don't worry we've got fraser Kerr to fill in...... Failing that should be a good chance for Thomas to get some extended first team action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldo Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Excellent news. A good pre season and an understanding of what the manager wants, he may be off for a decent fee after a year! Him and Marv hitting it off in the same game will trouble any team. Now get them some help up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 im delighted ainsworth is staying as i thought his performance's in the play off games would have been enough to get him a move elsewhere.he is frustrating as fuck at times but when he's on his game he's definately a big player for us,20 goals and 20 assists since he's been here is a great return and hopefully there's a lot more too come. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Agree with most whats been said. Although he can be a bit erratic he's a real asset to the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Hopefully as he gets older and wiser he'll show a bit more focus. It's a gamble but if LA and Marvin both hit form next season we will be good to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshillWell Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 He's got a new child and reportedly feels settled at Motherwell. Hopefully he knuckles down and becomes the player he can be, consistently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nellies Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 A would give a him a chance upfront next year as his finishing is quality and has pace to get in behind the defence.obviously he will be a winger but it would be interesting to see if he made an impact as a striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His finishing is superb but is his positioning..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrosshillWell Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Did Ainsworth not play as a striker in a game last season and was woeful? Saying that, the whole team was shocking at that point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 You have to hope that Thomas and Cadden will be breathing down his neck next season and hopefully that will keep him focused, knowing that they're ready to take his place if his form dips. Fit, focused and on form, he can terrify full backs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman1991 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Ha ha I'm sure he would have been on many berz fans radar until he scored and they would have recoiled in horror at his celebration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I see the Motherwell Times are speculating about Livi striker, Jordan White. Hopefully we get a few in before heading to the Netherlands, including Laing and Skippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennyc Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I see the BBC reporting is up to their usual standard, quoting a one year deal re Ainsworth. Typical incorrect, lazy reporting whenever the Old Firm are not involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical incorrect, lazy reporting whenever the Old Firm are not involved. Probably watched his interview on the official from last year..... I'm delighted with this news. On the end of last year he really is a major threat. Pure pace and trickery down both flanks for next year, wether we play a 4-4-2 or a 4-3-3/4-5-1 I think this will benefit us greatly. I think both Marv and Lionel can easily score 10 each next year. Creativity and goals from both ends with wee Dom to slot in aswell. Happy days.

Well Up For It! Posted June 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Good bit of business and happy he is staying. As others have mentioned, a bit hot and cold. He's either a complete passenger or simply unplayable. Lets hope a good pre-season will see him continue the form he showed the last few months of the season.

Ya Bezzer!

I'm guessing its a lot easier to find a striker thats scores 10 goals a season than a wide midfield player that scores the same number. Ainsworth is a natural goalscorer and strikes the ball superbly I don't see why if he can improve his consistency of performance and number of starts in the team why he can't get even more goals per season like Jamie Murphy was doing latterly from a wide position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that. Keep him where he is. Wingers have great games and off games - he just needs to turn more of the off games into great games and improve his defending/work rate He has scored 20 goals and provided 20 assists over 2 seasons where he has probably only performed well in,what, half of each of those seasons? Imagine what we could have if he even upped that just a little bit more. From his interview he seemed happy with the way the manager had set out the team an mentioned enjoying playing with Johnson on the other flank. Seemed a happy camper.

ONeils40yarder Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 He scores most of his goals from distance, absolutely no justification to play him anywhere else other than right wing. Happy with him signing a 2 year deal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
