  1. If that’s accurate re touches, that tells you a lot , Dykes having nearly 4 times as many touches as Long
  2. I don’t like having a pop at players but Grimmy is really limited , he just seems to run the direction he’s facing.....if he’s playing defence he’s got to keep switched on , too many goals coming down the right
  3. Probably means while they’re here , they should put a shift in ? Then the move may come
  4. Going by the games against them, I thought we were better Than Ross Co and should finish above them , Dundee Utd was 50/50 and could go either way
  5. I really don’t think White has been that bad , unlucky not to have bagged a couple of goals between Sat and last night...problem for me is Long , takes too many touches, even Campbell’s goal came from him losing the ball . There was also a breakaway in 2 nd half where he lost it rather than pass. The fact Robbo said about players looking for a move makes me think he’s got to be one of the players singled out.
  6. I don’t think Grimshaw will be one , the guy tries but he’s just not very good ....Our best performance was v Ross Co. Only consolation is there’s not really home or away games now, so onwards and upwards.
  7. Fair dues , We’re about the same vintage then , lad , but my opinion still holds. The cup final team and then the 93/94 team were great but the financial gap is too much now to challenge consistently.
  8. Thanks , probably complicated how they work that out but they do have more of a European pedigree than us.
  9. Yodel....what was favourite season as a well fan and how long have you been following them, cos if you don’t think Robinson has done a reasonable job , it’s not Motherwell you’ve been following.
  10. Why are we seeded in first round but not the second, while the 4 th placed team ( Aberdeen) are seeded ?
  11. We maybe need more midfield runners to help Long? Like O’hara But didn’t see too much from him yesterday.....maybe another who hasn’t had a proper preseason.
  12. You’re way too sensible for this forum, bud....
  13. Hartley and Tait were great in their day for us but their absence is being used as an excuse for poor start....players always become better in their absence. Calum Lang looked good and am sure he’ll be an asset, soft sending off has scuppered us there too. Long has assets but isn’t clinical enough and for me takes too many touches. Getting things in perspective we should have beaten Ross Co, yesterday we looked short of ideas to be fair, but if we had 4 points out of 6 , it wouldn’t be undeserved.
  14. He didn’t sign Frear..who wasn’t as bad as made out
  15. Whatever the st up , Grimshaw shouldn’t be in it .....
  16. Even if you’ve only got one trick , it can be an asset, e.g cut inside and rattle it , he’s got pace too, which is never a bad thing ....he needs to work on his crossing but am sure Robbo can do that
  17. Time he said to us ‘ take me I’m yours”
  18. He’s definitely found wanting at international level....might do a job but I reckon he will be looking for a big money move, so why burst bank for an average player
  19. Sorry, didn’t mean to quote your post...
  20. The lad will need to have thick skin , not played a game and he’s getting pelters already.....pretty sure his auld man wouldn’t put him in the firing line just for the hell of it
  21. Wouldn’t want to be in any of the leaders shoes at the minute but The Scot Gov and the UK gov, in particular won’t be the gold standard in terms of dealing with a pandemic. There is going to be major collateral damage from this, some of it may have already surfaced but when people are being laid off , left right and centre , after employers have to pay half the furlough , it will begin to bite. The lockdown approach can’t continue indefinitely.
  22. Not had one for a few years but I tend to get one mentioned on email that you can pay in 4 instalments ....didn’t see this option when clicked on today on website...anybody know how you get this option...thanks
  23. Clark was solid and didn’t hold back and obviously did Maxi a lot of harm, but I don’t think there was any malicious intent there....prob a foul tho....all worked out in the end
