mio Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Those two central defenders are worth 2 goals to the opposition every week. The love some fans have for Sol is beyond belief. Absolutely murder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't rely on one striker to do everything, but that's exactly what we've been doing recently. We have no alternatives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the way it always comes back to Van Veen, there are another ten players behind him most games including the other strikers. It’s been said before that if he was prolific we could not afford him. Let’s look at why other players are starting to look like they have never been on a training pitch first because today was yet again full of the basics not being done. Even the more consistent players are all over the place. We got beat by a pretty poor Aberdeen team today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Scottish football is really really bad, even with the city teams spending money on players. Aberdeen did nothing in that second half, other than go forward once and score. Hats off to them right enough, but they like us are going nowhere.

wellfan Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 If Hammell doesn't come out and give an honest assessment of the state of things and the plans he has to fix it, he's going to start coming under a lot of pressure from fans very soon. This piss poor squad and their pathetic performances will see us relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ppower Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 12 games played. 10 of those games we have scored 1 goal or no goals. That spells trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is at both ends of the park but were giving away an average of two goals a game at the minute and that just simply can't continue,even if we were half decent in attack giving away two goals a game can't happen.the goals yet again are embarrassing,the first why are we playing that high of a line when we have no pace at the back and then the second mcginn is beating far to easy and then it's a free header six yards out.it looks like we're going to be going into yet another transfer window with the same problems that have been staring us in the face for agesthat were going to try and have to fix.

I know what I would prefer. They came and got 3 points and we went out with a whimper. They managed to fight back to win. Wtf did we do. Stop with the delusions. We are shite.

Erskine Alpha Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Dire again. We need to get shot of a few and bring a few in namely a striker, cm and cdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 You can't miss chances like the one KVV had and expect to get anything out of games, absolute sitter. We didn't play any better in the second half, but Aberdeen got sloppy and we were about to get the ball forward more and almost got ourselves a lead. Having some pace on the pitch with shields helped, but the lack of pace across our whole squad is a huge problem. In fact, just having some players who are not comically slow would be a bonus. I hope that we have the ability to make some serious changes in the next window now that Hammel has had more time. A second striker is an absolute must. Pretty woeful that when we're chasing a game in the last ten mins our only option is a like for like sub with our right backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Overall it's pretty tight our side of the league. Played 12 games, won 1/3 of them. Scored 15 , conceded 16. Pretty similar stats from position 5th downwards. The squad won't change hugely between now and the end of the season. Winter window doesn't tend to offer much. Perhaps a couple of decent loan centre halves. Key is confidence, at start of season we played with intensity, freshness and enthusiasm. The run of the last 6+ games has understandably eroded confidence. Need to grind out a result or 2 over the next few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poor squad sure, but whatever is going on with the coaching and playing formations it isn't working. Another Motherwell manager who doesn't know his best 11.

Spit_It_Out Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 Two things need to happen needs to change the formation cause this is not working and needs to go see Burrows tell him might be beneficial to get some experience in to help with things until the end of the season. Sticks with this and we are done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing Moult and Aarons may be his downfall. However, he inherited all of the other issues and knew that before choosing to throw himself in at the deep end. It's now down to him to manage us out of this mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
