Nice to see us punish a mistake

I’m assuming Robinson doesn’t agree with the handball decision ?

C’mon dug we’re gaun

“Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible”. I hope not COYW

COYW. “Sit doon dug”

Maybe I’ll just go take the dog for a walk

Is there no live feed on motherwell TV today ?

No time today for making stuff. But I’ll be up to watch the game COYW.

I’ll take the scores today as they are at half time ! COYW 3 points tomorrow. Strangely optimistic! Unrealistically optimistic.! Foolishly optimistic... no! I’m not betting any money on it.

That’s my point. Even the best strikers need a decent number of chances to score one goal. We are expecting our strikers (to a certain extent) to score with a severely limited number of chances.

I think our strikers are a wee bit hard done by. We are not exactly overwhelming them with chances. Most of the balls they get are 50/50 at best. Yws, they have had some chances but I wonder What the success rate is for top class strikers? What is the ratio of goals to chances for a top class striker?

I’m happy with that until we get him signed up on a decent length contract.

I’m watching it on chrome on my phone. Froze just before HT though. Hope it comes back for 2nd half.

My bum will be on the seat in my living room watching the live stream COYW

If you could just wire over the money for "bus fare" I should make it in time for kick off.

I hope we can score a few more. I’d like to see main and/or Bowman get a goal. I hope we dont sit back now. We need to think about goal difference even at this early stage in case we can’t escape relegation battle. Having better goal difference than those around you can effectively be like m extra point

Cheers! Niw I can stop trying to get the video on my phone

4-4-2. ??

Even if we win our next 2 games we will only move up 1 place at best. But i suppose in our current predicament its all about how many points between us and the bottom 2 rather than climbing up the league.

Just as a reference/comparison point. Robinson perhaps getting some leeway from some of the fans due to his cup “success” last year. Claudio Renerie won the EPL with Leicester City and got fired during the Next season. So Robinson probably best be fixing things quickly now. Tick tock tick tock ....

If It at least looked like Robinson was trying to address the problems I’d be ok but it doesn’t seem that way. Having said that I really hope he can turn it around and stay. Would be nice to have a bit of stability around the club but you have to draw the line somewhere.

Good point. Maybe depends on who the opposition is? Or perhaps you switch them out during the game to keep up the level of intensity?

I think several people have mentioned 4-4-2 instead of 3-5-2 and I’d tend to agree although it’s a dynamic game and regardless of what you call your line up it’s about how you instruct the players to play but I think playing 4-4-2 line up as follows would perform much better Carson Tait Aldred Hartley Dunne Caden Campbell Turnbull Frear Bowman Johnson Tait and Caden work well together. Frear can have a bit more freedom to take on players and not worry about getting beat. Hartley and Aldred are center backs so now they can both play as center backs. We might be able to actually get some decent service to our forwards and actually create some decent amount of reasonable chances. There will be options from the bench to work with to keep that formation.

Based on my criteria set previously I no longer think he is doing fine. If he doesnt win against St Mirren and Dundee then he is in deep shit and us along with him. If that's the case then what does he have to do by Christmas to keep his job? I think if he can have us in 8th place or better by the end of the year and 9 point gap over 11th spot he stays but he needs to have some expectations laid out for him if he wants to continue into next season. Yes we need results but there has to be some attempt to play some football that people will pay to come and watch. We need to play the system that suits the players or if he sticks with 352 he needs to be buying players that can play in that system.

I don’t think lack of information has stifled many contributors on here previously :-)
