wunderwell 43 Report post Posted July 22, 2020 When I/team get pumped at football, we go on and we work harder next time. Different level but I would expect no different. Who do you want us to play? Annan, Morecambe, this disguises the fact where we are at. DID IT WORK WITH LLANELLI and BREIDABLIK. No. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grizzlyg 401 Report post Posted July 22, 2020 Ah well, maybe Robbo will end up at Huddersfield and that will cheer up a lot of folk. Mind you if his new signings dont produce the goods I might join the bandwagon..COYW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wunderwell 43 Report post Posted July 22, 2020 Decent Gazzy I would play two holding mids and revert Turnbull and Polworth dependant on form. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gives us more dig and energy in there and Turrnbull can do the Polworth role. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We will need to agree to differ my point is doesn't matter how good Motherwell teams have been that's a fixture we are rarely if ever going to do anything in. You contend we got pumped because we werent fit. I contend had we been ready and fit we'd still lose that fixture so learn nowt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We definitely need big Dec to stay fit and playing. I like Carroll but he looks way off as does Dunn. Without the last two we could struggle unless the likes of Lamie and McGinn get up to speed pretty quickly. Other than that we are looking at Donnelly playing centre half and the young players stepping up to the mark. Personally I would still like to see us strengthen that area but I guess it’s down to the budget. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lan_Lad 20 Report post Posted July 22, 2020 Little can be read into a defeat at Ibrox. Firstly a major reason for pre season friendlies is simply fitness and accumulating sharpness. And secondly they're going to be hammering a lot more than Motherwell there in the season ahead. They're not the competition to be judged against. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0Neils40yarder 157 Report post Posted July 22, 2020 I'm pretty certain that Carroll will go to left back when fit and McGinley will compete for the position beside Gallagher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steelboy 984 Report post Posted July 22, 2020 Lamie was never first choice centre back at Livi so I doubt we have signed him as a first pick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
