I know a lot of people prob won't notice or pay much attention to it under the circumstances, but if you watch the vid of the first goal, as soon as Biereth beats the man on the corner flg and starts to come in, Wilkinson is between (and slightly behind) the two defenders. He then makes a wee 3 or 4 step run to get in front of the two defenders to make the pass in to him possible. A striker who can find these positions and runs must have something about him. Ally McCoist made an entire career out of being the guy 'who was there' to tap the ball in from around the six yard line. Maybe having someone who can spot the run and make the pass will make a big difference to the other strikers as well. A striker not finding scoring positions is a lot worse than the one who fluffs some chances.

I think the doom mongers from earlier in this thread need to come to terms with the fact that if Kettlewell sees something in a player, thats better than some fans not being excited by a player. Bair and Wilkinson won't score at this level. Well, they've both scored in 50% of league games they've played in. There's not many Motherwell managers can say theyve lost 2 in their first 20. Let the guy do his fucking job and stop greetin' about everything.

I know this isn't related to the HIBs game, but I can't get the ticket link from the 'fishel website to load..... https://tickets.motherwellfc.co.uk/ just me ?

Exactly the point I was making. If that had been the other way round, we wouldn't have got a foul for that. So we didn't do anything to put ourselves in trouble as MJC was suggesting. We handled Hibs perfectly all game. They only came into it off the back of a shite refereeing decision.

Seriously ? We make things difficult ? Who was at fault for the pen ??

Ya fuckin beauty !!!!!!!

Brilliant from the big Eminem looking cunt there......

You'll be glad we got rid of him then because he's nowhere near SPL standard aand won't score goals at this level, at least, according to you.

But but but.....he canny have scored....he's shite......

Somewhere from 3rd to 10th. Rollercoasters, punching above our weight etc etc.

You do realise that a fans reaction to a signing is a shite site less important than the contribution the player makes over say, the full season ??

Yeah, I get that 🙂 But you're then saying they'll win a cup, so that will be under Kettlewell then. The same Kettlewell you're having a go at for not knowing what he's doing with signings.

So Aberdeen are going to punt Robson cause they're having a shit season and win a cup in the same year. i can only imagine they'll win the cup under kettlewell then.

And Luca Belic came from West Ham to us and looked like a dick, even in training. Filling yer head with expectations of someone smashing it before they've kicked a baw is no better than labelling a player as 'shite and a wage thief' before he's kicked a baw.

Maybe Wenger got it from Weeyin

I'm sure it was Arsne Wenger who said (and as far as I know he knows a bit about fitba') that a player moving from one country's league to another needed at least six months to acclimatise. People on here are wanting what is essentially a reserve league player with FOUR career goals to his name (unless wikipedia is wrong) to 'step up' and 'hit the ground running'. Have a fucking word with yourselves.......

Awww naww.....we always lose against 10 men....

We've exhausetd slagging of the ones who have signed. We're moving on to rumours now and next week, it'll be ones we're not even linked with.

I'm expecting a forum meltdown pretty soon.......

I confidently predict both of them will be labeled as 'shite' prior to playing for us and missing any chances in their first appearances will see them promoted to 'wage thief'.

I agree. Another one of these players who lost the most important years of their development by going to a club where he was never going to get a competitive game for 5 years. Wherever he ends up, he'll be starting on a footing of over half a decade of non competitive football.

BBC website has QoS winning on pens. Edit - Theyve changed it now.

You see any of the last 11 games of last season ?

I think Spittal is a guy we need to be looking at extending. Was a key part of the letter stages of last season and started well this season.

C'mon guys, can someone not just do what normally gets done on here and label the guy as 'shite' before we even see him in a strip ??
