Spiderpig Posted November 9 Report Share Posted November 9 Just watched the Sportscene highlights, shocking defending for the Aberdeen goal, Koutroumbis caught upfield pressing high but the Aberdeen player was allowed to run in on goal and every Motherwell player backed off, no tackles or blocks and he was allowed to shoot with no intervention. Oh and Ward could have made more of an effort, his positioning was poor. I really hope we can sign another striker in January, Hendry shows promise but Stamatelopoulos is hopeless., still we never lost and its another well earned point.

How the hell we shelled out a lot of money ( well for us) on Stama is farcical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not the getting the rub of the green at all from referees just now. Week in, week out these decisions are going against us. By contrast, Falkirk are getting all these decisions in their favour. Hopefully things will even themselves out in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nae chance, over the last 4 or 5 seasons we’ve been pissed on by the current referees for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsince75 Posted November 10 Report Share Posted November 10 Id like to see both AP and Hendry up front together - be interesting to see how it changes our approach current issue is unless we’re on the counter we’re quite easy to defend against , AP was up against 3 central defenders yesterday . As poor as he was that’s a tough gig . I do think we need to mix it up a bit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we move from the 4-2-3-1 to a 4-4-2, the Watt and Fadinger double pivot goes, the wide attackers go, and we’re basically into a midfield diamond. That means one of the current midfield five has to be dropped to fit a second striker. Who’s that? I just don’t see it. More likely Hendry gets a run leading the line, as he’s stronger than Stama and looks better suited to playing up top on his own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted November 10 Report Share Posted November 10 A point away from home is never bad. We are still work in progress and you can see the direction we are heading. It shows how far we have come in a short period of time, when some are unhappy with a draw against a city team and are critical of certain players. Lets just ignore the outside noise of the media and the dinosaurs of scottish football who say we cant and should not play the way we have been and enjoy the football we are playing and back all the guys on the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted November 10 Report Share Posted November 10 There are certainly people in the media (and ex-players) who would be delighted if we fail. Can't have the "wee" teams trying anything progressive when they should be staying in their lane and sticking to the well worn traditional approach. 3 games against Aberdeen with 2 wins and draw in a decent return. I think it's obvious we could do with another central defender and another striking option, but I'm sure JBA sees that too. If we can keep picking up points in the run up to the next transfer window, a couple of astute signings could see our top 6 aspirations improve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given my reservations that he was way down a pecking order that had Liam Scales on top… I’d be going all out to tie up Stephen Welsh for the long term. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts are we get ourselves tangled up, trying to thread delicate passes through an 18 yard box v's if we had 2 strikers and got a few more crosses in we could be more effective that way Seems that by half time - the opposition find ways to deal with our formation, in turn we need to find ways to then mix it up. Not suggesting this for all games but would be interesting to see and possibly change intra game. Dropping TW is most likely way to enable it.. . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
