Busta Nut

I can't believe this has went unmentioned.

If yer allowed to swear, I'll fucking volunteer.

Campbell is defo not an attacking midfielder from what I saw last night. Few times he was the furthest forward midfielder. He can improve on that too though.

Ching!

Doesn't sound like the one I saw last night.

I avoided the score as I was working and recorded the Alba showing to watch at midnight last night. It's fucking hard doin that. In the first half we seemed set on keeping it at 0-0 and maybe nicking a goal if we could. I didn't notice a shot on target until the 77th minute but I maybe wrong. Trying to come back from being behind is a difficult thing to do and we seem to have ended up in that situation too often. I wasn't keen on the starting line up, I just don't see what Grimshaw offers. I actually think Rose & McHugh can and do offer things alhough that may not often show, I am lost as to what Grimshaw has. I don't think he's a bad player. He started at RWB then when Tait was switched he moved to the middle while Rose went to LWB, I thought Kipre was great. Looked solid and a few times he took control and went a wee stroll with the ball. Charles Dunne had a pretty good game defensively as well. We all know his distribution isn't great but I thought overall he was pretty steady. Richard Tait had a complete nightmare. He looked like Tait from 15 months ago where he couldn't defend for shit. When I have been critical of him in the past the excuse "Full backs are more attacking than defensive these days" has been thrown back as if it is some sort of acceptance for shit defending. For the 2nd goal he was diabolical. Curtis Main is a machine. More in the sense he seems like he'd run through a brick wall and never gives up. Paul Hanlon had his hands all over him for most of the night and what he got booked for looked laughable anaw. Pity we had a few fitness issues. I think when Frear is fit I'd like us to go 4-4-2 with him and Cads playing wide. Leaves a headache of where to play Tanner but that's where the manager earns his bread. John McGinn is a cunt anaw btw. I think he is massively overrated. I don't think he's a bad player, i just don't have the same awe for him as some do. I don't think we were as close to Hibs as we should have been and it was a canter for them for about 75 mins. Basically I sat up to 2am watching that for fuck all. Had fun tweeting my "live" watching of it though.

Jim Paterson's name in there nearly gave me a stroke.

Thread... Jesus

Interesting opinion on Bigi. I think I'd disagree, he was best player on the park for us I thought.

here we go

With a name like Murphy? (I'm kiddin BTW, I dunno nuthin' about names)

No manager and where they getting cash?

Les often is talked out of taking his cut of fees I believe.

In theory I understand these type of threads but in reality we will be taking a punt on a 22 ish YO former youth prospect who's dropped a few divisions and has something to prove.

I said it on another thread but despite McHugh's poorer form I think we need him as the anchor man in midfield. Team has look a lot more comfortable with him holding.

Despite McHugh's relatively poor form in all this year I really do think we miss him when he isn't playing the role between the midfield and defence.

It looks like Griffiths lines up right behind his wall for the first. Then is beat by a pretty shite shot. Dunne should have intercepted the first ball out wide for the 2nd McHugh and Kipre are fucking awful for the 3rd The guy with shite hair ran Campbell ragged going buy the highlights in the 1st half. It may have been the right decision but that "offside goal" was one of the weirdest things I have seen a set of officials do. By the point they are replaying it in their heads they are guessing. I really like Elliott Frear.

I completely agree I wasn't there tonight but I have never understood why folk where so confident in him.

I think you are spot on with the intention for Tanner, problem is I don't think it was really working as Moult couldn't really play up front himself and tanner played a bit deeper then Skippy did. Bowman was perfect foil for Moult.

Not a dig here, but out of interest do you know how many times that has happened? I can't think of any but I am rarely correct. Sparra described him as a raffle winner, which seems apt

it's ok. My planned beer and pie while watching it after work has been cancelled.

a wee dodgy agreement between the clubs not to turn the USH on would be magic, they have injuries too apparently.

£500k + add ons was a decent figure for him in August. If we get near that and add ons we are laughing.

The record have a line in their version that they are to "test" us with a bid in Jan. £500k is mentioned but rumours suggest it's a bit lower

Busta and Jay join Sparra to look back on the defeat at Tynecastle and to preview an important week in which Motherwell travel to Partick Thistle and Kilmarnock. http://www.mfc1886.com/mfc-podcast-2017-18-episode-19/
