Obviously the wins help but the turnaround in style, intent & intesity compared to what we have been used to is there for all to see. Cant get too carried away yet but its very encouraging & dare i say it, exciting! Been a while since we could say that. Enjoy him while we have him. If he turms out to be as good as we hope then he's not going to stick around long. Lose to St Mirren and folk will be on saying he's overrated. 🤪🤪, still early days but very encouraging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texanwellfan Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 What are the odds of us winning 3 games in a row? However, if we can win this it will be a big step in our bid to be in top six. It will make it very hard for St Mirren and Kilmarnock to catch us with only 3 games to the split, leaving us to battle it out with Hearts and County for top 6 And hearts play County the same day as we play the buddies sorry!!! This should be in the match thread for St Mirren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 If he can manage to get us 3 points at Killie after getting 3 points at Ibrox, he is definitely a miracle worker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 All I will say is that Kettlewell won first 2 games in charge and we thought he was great. However somehow it feels different this time, seems a great guy that players are buying into and want to play for, ahmet also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players were bought into what he was doing for the remainder of the season he took over. Didn't go wrong till a bit after that. You could probably argue that they bought in for the first round of games this season. Wimmer's influence on the team so far has been remarkable and he gets a standing ovation from me for it ! But i'm always nervous about getting too excited just because I know that the vast majority of managers of most teams meet an acrimonious end at some point 🙂 Lets just hope the Wimmer revolution lasts a bit longer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but professional managers, coaches and players start figuring out ways to play against new systems. On the plus side, a high press is difficult for any team to counteract if done well. It typically takes lots of short passes from the back when you have a tight marker. But teams will find a way to make it more difficult for us and, as always, that is when the coaching staff start to earn their money.

After two weeks of training that’s happening now we shall see the players looking sharper and fitter. COYW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spit_It_Out Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Let's not forget Kettlewell had a Striker that at the time that could have shot at the moon and it would have went in Wimmer hasn't had the luxury of a player like that to bail him out. The new management team is building a good foundation let's hope it's just keeps getting better and better the more they get to work with the players. I am loving the pressing they looked like a pack of wolves on the hunt for blood on Saturday and it was fantastic to watch after the utter horrible stuff we have had to endure. Onwards and upwards! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, though, it was SK that quickly figured out how a formation to get the best from him. He'd scored 4 in the 15 games before SK took over and scored 16 in the fourteen games after he took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 For longevity I'm hopeful he can 1) adapt to different formations when teams figure us out - this was a problem for AK, GA & SR 2) keep the enthusiasm for sustained period 3) recruit well.

weeyin Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Halliday said on one of his many podcast appearances that part of Wimmer's approach is to adapt formations for different opponents. And, in fact, against Rangers, he changed our midfield formation after 15 minutes of watching the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone knows you take at least 6 months to change midfield formation unless of course injuries accelerate that, thus enabling you to randomly place players in various positions which they are unfamiliar with. Someone needs to have a word with MW before this gets out of hand and let him know, that is not the Motherwell way. If it’s not nipped in the bud, next thing you know they’ll be clean sheets, entertaining football, goals from open play and cheering crowds. FFS get it sorted!! 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Whilst this price deal is very welcome, let's not kid ourselves its being done for altruistic reasons. It's designed purely to boost the home crowd in the run in and thereby help their team to pick up much needed points. We're being included simply because we have to be.
