Former Motherwell Fc Players Thread

It's hard to look for any strategy in a season where at least 8 of our signings have been to cover for injuries, or to cover for the cover.  I don't believe we were going for quantity at the start of the season, but I'd rather we bring in loan players for cover than take on someone full time that could bleed into next seasons budget. We're in a good spot to clear out once this is done, and we aren't onn the hook for too much should the worst happen.

However, signing permacrocks is a bad idea in any situation.

Mika Biereth he at trick for Monaco against Auxere. All goals in 8 mins. He's destined for the top.

Given Arsenal's well-documented search for a goal scorer in recent seasons, I'm surprised they didn't give him a chance rather than offloading him.

When you consider that Arteta is a bit of a prick, it makes sense.

Biereth deserves to go to the top. His levels of effort when playing for the ‘Well didn’t go unnoticed.

And Sturm Graz only paid £4 million for him - an absolute steal in today's market - and they made about 10 million when they sold him on.

I hope all our youngsters picked up on how much continuous effort it takes to be a top player, regardless of how much footballing talent you might possess. A shame Dunne robbed us of a few more games from him.

Kelly has no better luck in the cup than he had with us. 
 

QP keeper saves a pen in last minute even although they played 9 min extra time when it was five min allotted.

That was hysterical.

The ref tried really hard to get the penalty retaken as well. 

The Onion Bears did a lovely rendition of god save the king at the end there as well…… that just added to my enjoyment… gutted for them 🤣

Thought Forbes was going to be a big deal when Gannon started playing him, then it turned out he doesn't like running, at all. Some left foot though. 

Don’t think he didn’t like running just couldn’t run, even when he tried he seemed to be going backwards - was a real pity the guy has talent.

Was expecting to see Queens Park captain Dom Thomas play a part in the Rangers debacle.

Didn't realise he had signed a 2 year deal at Derry City a few days ago - that's what happens when you don't bother following the transfer window threads.

Here's some drone footage of the Ross Forbes goal from the weekend:

Funny as I have footage from a Boeing 747 of him nearly taking down a plane with a free kick he took against Partick.

to be fair, I liked the wee guy, plenty of talent but he just didn’t have enough pace to play more at a better level. I have no doubt he’d be a stand out at junior/amateur level.

He was like watching an F1 car wheel spinning off the line, wee legs going like the clappers but not moving anywhere.

Jack McMillan involved for Exter tonight against Forest, with Jack Aitchison on the bench.

Been a good game, Exeter down to 10 men going into extra-time. So still time for AItchison to come on as Forest needed to use a concussion sub on 90 minutes. They had just announced 10 minutes injury time, the game was held up for 10 minutes before that was played.

I think that was the longest game I've ever seen.

Exeter did incredibly well to take it to pens, but not too hot in the shoot out.
