Stuwell2

Mulgrew is 35 years old and played 23 times for Fleetwood Town last season who ended the season 15th in league one. Not sure about him, could be decent as an old head to guide younger players or could be past it and get caught out regularly. If his wage demand wasn’t that big I’d probably take a chance.

Customer asks if the baker had a spotted dick, he replied not anymore the cream cleared it up.

Soccer base says he scored 11 goals last season including once against both StMirren & Dundee and twice against Hearts - let’s hope he can do the same or better next season. welcome to Fir Park Connor

Great to see him back in training

The academy can only produce players that are willing to come/stay at Motherwell. We’re up against Rangers, Celtic, Hamilton, Livingston, Hibs and Hearts to get players in and then any decent club down south to keep them long enough to make the first team. We have done well in recent years but we have also lost a few potential first team players at the same time.

In my view, in the games against Hibs - like other top 6 teams - we have played better because they come out against us and leave gaps that we can get into but I fear that they will have learnt by their previous mistakes and with us missing key players, this will be a different game. Fear the worst

Calm down, Watt for one has been as good or better and will be here next season but maybe that fact doesn’t fit with your post.

O'Donnell for me over Kelly, close but 1 goal & 1 penalty scored beats two good saves.

Nae wonder

Missed first 30 minutes, logged in just before 1st goal. Reading thread seems like I missed nothing

CoF, I can only hope you’re right

Generally agree with that but the Accies & StJ games have left me with some worries regarding GA - my preference for the job. Just can’t get my head round how the team could be so off the mark two games in a row. The performance against Accies was shocking and could maybe be written off as a bad day at the office but to follow that with another game where the team looked no different organisationally or aptitude left me gobsmacked.

Good on GA for sticking with the guys who ok played well last week.

Just said similar on another thread.

I don’t know if it’s my imagination but I seem to think that we play better against the top clubs as they sit higher up the park and give us more space to attack. The likes of Accies sit back packing the area in front of the box and wait to hit us on the break. Given space we appear to be able hurt teams but don’t have the guile break down defences, which makes me fear that the post split games will see us losing more than we win.

That’s what pisses me off - 6 PTS thrown away

I thought it was for crackin up after Coke was fouled and the ref played on allowing them to attack.

Think we might win this game but don’t want to jinks things.

Kelly SOD. Lamie Carroll Johnstone McGinley Maguire, Polworth, Crawford Watt Cole/Long Johnstone and McGinley sitting in front of the back 3 And moving back to either RB or LB when SOD/Carroll go up the wings.

Said the exact same to my brother this morning. I’d be looking at Johnston, Lamie & Mcginlay at the back - frightening I know but we’re not winning or even drawing at the moment so we need to try something else - O’Donnell & Carroll added to midfield on the wings doiubling up as defenders when required and two strikers playing through the middle.

Bit unfair, that on his debut when he played competently, that Max Johnston gets voted “least worst”. Guy looks to be a great prospect.

Any normal season lately, I’d have said 10 points is easily doable but this season has been anything but normal so I fear we could be short of points and in trouble come the split.

Anyone who managed to watch that shite to the end.

Went for Lamie who apart from the slip (out with his control) had a good game. Mugabi similarly had a good game but I can remember one cross field pass which was nearly costly. Apart from that there was nothing between them.
