Two years on the trot being knocked out by Championship sides at this stage of the Scottish Cup. It’s just not good enough. Was a reply to wonder how they’ll get on in the next round whoever they get will pump them ( which shows the level we’re at ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sinjy Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 I have supported Motherwell for 60 plus years When I was 9 we went to Ibrox and won 5-2 then lost 1-0 at home to Airdrie I should have realised then that it was not worth it. All the hype after the Ross Co game, you just knew we would be let down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 Not a shock,it was always a going to be difficult, we didn't perform and weren't good enough, result against county papered over the cracks,we are where we are,the league position doesn't lie,we are poor,we're out and league survival is our objective, close season we need big decisions on our future,ambition,finance as a club.

The guy is ment to be an experienced goalkeeper, training with international coaches and goalies, yet cannot command his six yard box. Shameful performance. To get beat is one thing, but to be out battled is another. The sooner kelly is gone the better and chucking them in for a new club the better,what he was attempting at the first goal is a mystery and his distribution is god awful.

Ya Bezzer! Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 Only sliver of hope was Adam Devine Terrible in every area of the pitch. Players didn't even have a touch most of the time. No intensity either. No physical or mental toughness. Why we insisted on playing long balls against a team that won every physical contest I'm not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 Absolute embarrassment. Second to every ball, outmuscled, panicking and hitting it high/long. Zero composure. Made it easy for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 1 minute ago, Wee Dougie said: Oh well, beaten by 2 mistakes, ie, Kelly and Mcginn. Didn't get to grips with the physical side of the game, so just park it and move onto the league. No doubt the sack the manager guys will be on all night, but in reality, do they ever go away. Its Motherwell, we move on. Two mistakes? There wasn’t a success in that entire team or performance tonight. It’s all well and good saying “move onto the league” but the Cup gives us our only opportunity of potentially achieving something in the game. Or at the very least giving the club and the support something of a lift and a reason to look forward. But yet again we fail miserably early on in the competition against a lower league side for the second year running. Its not acceptable.

Mortonhallwell Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 Kelly should have been dropped weeks ago. If he doesn't get dropped after tonight's performance Kettlewell should hang his head in shame. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 It was the worst kind of setup for us. They were happy to sit deep. Clearly they've watched us and plan A, B and C has been to play the ball behind the opposition defence for Bair to use his pace. Leave no space behind and we don't have anyone to unlock a defence. Maybe a winger who could go past a man would have been useful in this situation? Even at that, the greater concern would be how simple long balls in the air were causing so many problems.. A bad night at the office... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mio Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 I’d take that Oakley all day long instead of certain strikers we have. Completely outfought and out muscled our defence all night. Embarrassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 Morton first to every ball. Quite a dirty team too. Devine should start next game and Kelly dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuwell2 Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 Didn’t see the game but let me guess poor defending, Kelly pish, midfield getting nothing and their passing was awful, Bair finishing was pish. How many did I get right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2plus8 Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 Probably already said on this thread. But we didn’t win the battle before we could get the ball down and play. We played their game rather than impose our own footballing style. Yes, I’d absolutely drop Kelly but I can’t help feel sorry for SK tonight. The players didn’t turn up for him or the large amount of travelling fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was always going to be a tough tie It was always going to be a tough tie, yet we were as weak as piss throughout and were outbattled as we so often do in Cup ties. It’s just so infuriatingly predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 54 years for me but totally agree, I never went tonight or watched it on TV but the result is no surprise, I've lost count over the years of games that we go into as favourites after a great result or run of form, we take a big support and every time we feck it up. But that's what you get supporting Motherwell it's not our 1st bad result and it won't be the last, we can concentrate on staying in the premiership now.

wellsince75 Posted February 9, 2024 Report Share Posted February 9, 2024 Last week SK said with lots of games coming we’d need to rotate team . he didn’t do that . After 20 mins we were being outfought . waited until too late before changing it . When changed it Vale & Halliday made sense but equally we needed to break them down , Nicholson was the obvious choice . God only knows what formation we ended up with . very poor man management and equally piss poor all over the pitch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
