Yes young Devine at fault especially for 3rd but scored a lovely goal. Vale looks good and Halliday will be key and a fit Nicholson. Also maybe after signing Davor he can explain why it took about 5 months to make him a regular, wee man been great To be fair he said in the interview that Halliday was a key player for us. Perhaps Davor took his chance when someone else got injured. Casey maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek1962 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 We need to support everyone at Motherwell Football Club. The manager is relatively inexperienced and learning on the job in testing circumstances and lots of pressure. The goalkeepers form recently is questionable however he has made excellent stops previously and managed to get himself international recognition at MFC. Sod Butcher McGinn and Mugaba have all made mistakes which have lost the team goals. Lennon and Davour are in there first season and will make mistakes. Bair wasn’t anyone’s choice as a signing. All of the above respond much better with the support of the fans. I know that’s difficult at times however we should remember it’s the football club we support. Can we win at Tynecastle tomorrow? Yes we can! 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we can! This isn't Miller's first season. He got his first start at the beginning of the 22/23 season. From a personal perspective I always thought that Bair put a decent shift in even when he wasn't scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek1962 Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Indeed. It could spread throughout the team. We shouldn’t forget the positive power the supporters can bring to the club and games SK and his players will keep Motherwell a premier league club and then the supporters can decide where we go from there. Right now get behind the effort, the positive play the goals. COYW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhhh I think you will find SK it's the ones that have been here a while that have been causing problems recently. You are manager so that's up to you to get message across. 3pts tomorrow please....COYW I actually don't think he said anything that controversial - said that it was to be expected that new players might make the odd mistake. Obviously understand why people might feel frustrated that he's not talking about other more established players but I've never thought that Kettlewell has been very player critical. In fact there have been post match interviews where I think he's been too generous to players when we've been honking. He's also in essence being put on the spot with the journalists asking the questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets a hard press at times but never hides and puts in plenty of effort. However once Halliday fit then I would expect him to drop out as Davor Spittal and Miller ahead of him in my opinion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will just to wait and see when all our midfield players are fit and available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yosemite sam Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Unfortunately Paton thinks he's better than he is, and he tries to beat men he hasn't got the ability to beat. If he just kept it simple and passed to a team mate earlier, he would be a better player in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazzyB Posted February 16 Report Share Posted February 16 Paton is an okay midfielder without really specialising in anything. He doesn't do the dirty dogged midfield work, he doesn't play defence splitting passes, he doesn't carry the ball particularly well, and his finishing is poor. He's missed some chances in the past month or two that Spittal would devour. He's decent and tidy and links the play, but that's about it.

As long as he does those things and keeps it simple, the other midfielders can try all of the fancy stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
