Exactly my thoughts - the likes of Gauld Henderson McGinn are all a good bit ahead of cadden. The only midfielder that he could have a chance of displacing would be Craig slater but he has come through all the national age groups successfully which normally works in your favour (and he's a decent player as well)
The signing of clay was not necessarily a mistake because he's a bad player but more to do with it was the last type of player we needed. Attacking midfielder my arse - Motherwells fc propaganda machine in full effect!
Because in Lasley mchugh clay and Lucas we now have 4 defensive minded midfielders. Not to dissimilar to barracloughs omnishambles with 5 centre forwards
Your not far wtong. If you recruit from that level more often than not that's what you become. Ironically Johnson is about the only one who looks like he could play regularly at a higher level
That is our replacement for Pearson ladies and gentlemen. I would have jake Taylor before him and that's saying something. You can see tonight why he was released by a conference team
To play the formation we played, you need to have midfielders who can keep the ball after chasing it for minutes upon end. Otherwise it just becomes wave after wave of attack v defence. Eventually it tolls.
