Big Stall Posted February 7, 2024 Report Share Posted February 7, 2024 1 hour ago, Mad Dog said: Bevis' confidence certainly seems to be coming back and he had another really good game. He's now much more willing to drive out of defence with the ball which he's actually pretty good at. By contrast he's been passing the ball on / getting rid and immediately taking backward steps for the past few months. Im not a fan of his but i think he has been very good both Saturday and lastnight. Long may it continue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witchfindergeneral Posted February 8, 2024 Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 Oli Shaw back... hopefully he stays on the bench as 3rd choice. Imagine wee Ferrie will get loaned out again now. As much as I like Kettlewell, he does get a hard on for his former players and it is frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

couttsy Posted February 8, 2024 Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 It at least gives us a bit of cover, as we were looking very light. Personally I don’t think he’s anywhere near as bad as some others on here, and with a few more mins may offer us something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spittal, he's been different class since around Christmas but he was honking at points when the rest of the team was as well. Paton has been good in recent weeks and has a found a role that suits him but he was anonymous in so many games prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youngster or not he can’t offer us any less than Shaw? Surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness, he didn't bring Spittal in, and even when he wasn't at his best, I don't know who would've replaced him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had started to get better and had notched a couple of assists as well. His finishing is questionable to say the least. Would like to hope that he will stop being booed on to the park though and hopefully he does contribute, but he shouldn't be getting a chance to feature ahead of Vale as things stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mio Posted February 8, 2024 Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 I like SK, I think he’s done a good job since he came but what he sees in Ollie Shaw is beyond me. Bair is doing really well, the lad Vale looks like a potentially great loan deal, we have young Ferrie as back up who I think has looked decent and deserves more time on the park and Obika stealing a wage until he gets fit again. you never know, he might be a new player since I last saw him but I doubt it.im sticking by my view of him as the 2024 version of John hendry.

MJC Posted February 8, 2024 Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 48 minutes ago, wellgirl said: Personally I think it's the decent thing to do to support someone through an injury and not just cut their loan short. That’s fair enough. But at the same time it’s also the decent thing to do to give our own youth players their chance rather than loans that haven’t worked previously, for whatever reason.

mfc Posted February 8, 2024 Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 It's another body if nothing else and if true that we have got shaw on much reduced terms then you can see why kettlewell has went for it.the bar is pretty low on his previous showings so if we can get anything out of him it'll be a bonus.

grizzlyg Posted February 8, 2024 Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 All I would say was of those 16 appearances how many were starts? I don't see him starting many but it at least gives cover for Bair and Vale as I wouldn't rely on Obika being fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted February 8, 2024 Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 39 minutes ago, wellgirl said: Perhaps Kettlewell doesn't want to put a 18 year old forward with very little first team experience straight into the first team given the league position we've been in lately. Obviously he rates him as he's been on the bench for the last couple of games. Absolutely. Mark Ferrie looks nowhere near ready to step into the first team, even as a sub. He only had very limited gametime at Stenhousemuir. He may be a good prospect and hopefully, we'll develop him, but he needs time. Oli Shaw has some nice touches and had a couple of assists but he doesn't look to be a finisher. Something strange about the loan deal,as has been alluded to. As things stand, the Bair is our No 1, with Vale looking to be a decent No 2, albeit on limited evidence. He looked sharp and pacy on Tuesday and took his goal well. Defenders won't push him around either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted February 8, 2024 Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 We will probably sign him in the summer and extend Obika as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably. Tbf they did increase season tickets, fuck the park up and put stupid railings on the stairs the last couple of summers so you never know. I don't use the pie stalls but people around me seem to love them and can't go 25 minutes without one so they must be decent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Posted February 8, 2024 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2024 I'm not sure what kind of player is going to be sold on coming in as a third-choice striker at Motherwell. Our options are limited there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
