They just take him to stop us getting him ? (just kidding! I’m not paranoid)

Hopefully we will see some activity on here this week. Weren’t we looking at a young centre back on loan from Man City at one point? Did it fall thru or just a false rumor?

I’m sure there were a lot of people (not just MJC) thinking, but maybe not saying, that we would be on zero Points after the first three games. To come thru those first three games undefeated is very encouraging indeed. Yes, we need to win games but we can all see areas that need improving. If we can address those areas before this window closes you have to be optimistic of us doing well in the league

Focusing on the plus side of the game our three goals were very good especially the last two. The second goal we won the ball around the half way line then moved forward a little before ending up going back to the keeper from there, we of course, ended up scoring. 11 passes in total. the third goal we won the ball around our 18 yard line and again ball was played back to keeper and again, we scored. 9 passes in total. Our ball possession is as good as I can remember it ever being and hopefully we will get better as the season goes on. (can you tell I’m retired) 😂

I’d love to see us qualify for Europe and play there wit the same team that qualified. Unfortunately we are in a position where we have to almost rebuild the team each year, particularly if they played well then our good players are off.

Right! McGinn or any player for that matter has to be aware of the his defensive line and where the forward are and then step up before the player passes the ball. We haven’t quite mastered that yet. In fact the defensive line should be stepping up in unison like the old Arsenal team of the 70’s I think it was. I’ve also noticed on several occasions where we have followed runners keeping them onside instead of closing in on the man with the ball and letting the runner drift offside.

I was on a plane and so my first reaction was 3-3, looks like great game. Then the disappointment when I saw we had been 3 up but like many people I said before game I’d be happy with a point. As Grizzly pointed out, we still haven’t been beaten. by all accounts we are playing some lovely football which has definitely had an effect on the support. So considering where we are with the squad and new manager things are looking rosy. If most of the other teams stick with the usual dour SPFL tactics we should fair pretty well. Even if we finish 7th or 8th it seems like it will be a lot more enjoyable than it has been these previous years watching us finish there.

Where did he go from county ? I seem to remember him looking good for county

I don’t know anything about Callum Hendry but seems like people like him. What position does he play?

Going to be a tough one but if we can improve on our final third play we are more than capable of winning this but at this minute I’d settle for a point. Having said that, perhaps we will have more room in the final third in this game which we can better exploit.

Don’t think ref WS favoring Saints, just bad/inconsistent. Said and TJ coukd easily have been booked for persistent fouling. Then looked like pk right at the end but I also thought SOD incident should have been ok for us and certainly not a yellow for SOD.

We made hard work of that

Let’s not fk it up now. It’s not won yet.

Yaaassss

Dominating play but no real threat

We are struggling to put a decent ball into the box

Surprisingly so

I’m on a boat in Bordeaux! 🍷🍷 St Johnstone commentators. 😡

Ian Thomson arrived at Motherwell in 1962 coming straight from Mussleburgh Winsor, he was a powerful forward who went on to play in over 80 games in all competitions for the Steelmen, his goal return was modest in that he found the back of net in 15 occasions, he was released six years later in 1968, it was felt that he was player that should have brought more in his time in Lanarkshire, he joined South African club Hellenic in 1968.

Ian Thompson. There! Addressed that point

I think we have the basis of a good team and we should be looking to make sure some more of them are signed up for a few years so we either keep them or make some money on them. Of course we do need to add to our squad, hopefully with at least a couple worthy of being starters. Not sure what JBA’s contract is but it should be at least a three year one. And reviewing it at end of each year to consider extension.

But still not 100% completed and confirmed yet, right?

Ask Tam Cowan !

How is the feed on MFCTV? Mine just keeps buffering. Maybe my internet acting up

Yep, Montrose 4-1 at Fir park. I was at that game and I believe his hat trick was in approx the last 15 mins of the game. also, if my memory is correct, his first appearance for Motherwell was versus Tranmere Rovers in a pre season friendly at fir park and Joe ended up being the goalie!
