For starters, a keeper, any keeper, should not be captain. We lack an Ally Mauchlen or Colin O'Neill type in the middle. Any big physical striker, however agricultural can upset our rearguard. Agree on both points. A keeper as captain is really a waste of time and our midfield is decidedly lightweight. Against a side like Morton on their home patch, this tie was always a banana skin. I doubt we have the grit in our current squad to play and compete in this sort of cup tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok Yes, definitely. Do you really think that team could reach the quarters or semi's? Not a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton were actually poorer than I was expecting but they were still too good for us. I say it time and again teams don't need to be good against us just patient as we will beat ourselves.

It is too much emotional invested in a group of footballers who will often let you down. I understand the frustration though. I think you have provided a really good balance to some of the negativity on the forum in recent weeks but the team has let us down tonight. Nothing to do with ability. Motherwell were the better footballing side. They just did not want it enough. A lack of fight is hard to defend.

mfc Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 If we take anything from tonight it should be that we must avoid finishing in the relegation play off spot,we couldn't be trusted to beat a morton or partick thistle over two games.

I am too and for what it's worth I don't think Kelly should have the armband and yes maybe he needs dropping but it's clear he's lost confidence. I'm not a Liam Kelly pant wetter either. He's human. As are the rest of the players. We move on and hopefully we learn from this and kick on up the table. This was always going to be a tough tie.

The African Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Replacing your keeper is a big call. Not sure that a gamble of that nature is worth taking right now. Liam Kelly has, by and large, been decent for us and probably deserves some loyalty and time to find some form and confidence. Having said that, our patience with regard to his form is not without limit and he must be aware of this. The pressure on him is mounting. Another reason why your goalkeeper should not be captain?

I personally think his form dipped badly and then was starting to pick up again. Im not sure being captain is getting to him. I would prefer he wasn't captain though.

This was always going to be a tough tie. yes wellgirl, we will move on , but i beleive a spell on the bench .might well make him stronger mentally. then he may well come back in with his confidence back up, and end the season well, but i dont think the manager will drop him,personally when his contract is up in the summer i would say thanks liam watch that door doesnt hit your erse on the way out , seriously there must be a better or as good as a keeper out there for the money hes allegedly on we can discuss this all night but the fact is people on here will defend him to the hilt, but if hees 3rd choice scotland keeper (not in my opinion ) then he should be dealing with these situations, thats probs another reason sk wont drop him, incase it puts his scotland career oot the window, anyway nuff said bout him , time will tell, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brings certain expectations and responsibilities which he is unable to fulfill. He should be leading by example, not conceding poor goals and generally being ineffective . If ever there was a time to drop him it's now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
