wellsince75 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Early signs are positive and got to ignore this evening. JBA will be a tough act to follow and personal view is we've not been as impressive as we were last season in terms of ball retention and some of the back to front movement. Need to see how we do in the league and now Europe is finished we can get back into a normal routine of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Given the injuries, players changes and lack of proper training days we are probably ahead of where many expected at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As such, I fully expect several to be sent on their way and one or two more in. Agree 100%. We now have a week to make final adjustments to the squad. AJ will now know his squad pretty well and should be well aware of where the shortcomings are. Falkirk, Stenny and Freiburg have been kind enough to help us in that regard. Some fine tuning required, not wholesale upheaval. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he up against huge 6-9 defenders and was he given good service by those supporting him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vogt hiding, big man up front not in my opinion See yer point. I just mean I wasn't impressed tonight. He's definitely potentially better option than vogt..stama...hendry and probably Thor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 Seb looks to be a willing runner that will put himself about which is much needed in the formation we play and something we have been missing,hopefully he can chip in with a few goals throughout the season,it's just a pity he didn't get his head up and square the ball in the first half rather than shoot.

grizzlyg Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 I just love being a well fan and past 12 months been a joy. Spending a fair bit on signings and standards improving. Hope this is another great season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really what are you expecting. We have done better at this point compared to last season . Oh and we have hardly played any Scottish teams yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STV - my post was intended to be positive - hence leading with ‘early signs are positive ‘ im optimistic - apologies that it didn’t read that way. I dont believe we yet are as strong as last season due to huge turnover , injuries and the sheer volume of games . It was never intended to say I’m not impressed , quite the opposite . Alfred has been dealt tough cards and to date been very positive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, I think the keeper is better, the defence is better, midfield still to settle, and we need a good striker ,Thor did well when he played his three games assisting and scoring it may be him, is that why we haven't signed another one yet. As season goes on we should gel even more but our young average age may catch up with us . But we seem to have created a style we are sticking with which is entertaining watch. Another interesting season I hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted Saturday at 05:14 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 05:14 AM On the other hand our young average age may well be our big advantage. Fearless, fit and full of running, getting better with every game and training session, as the season goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago It's still early days but the more I listen to him and see what we are building I think we have found a real gem ( not legend status yet). Players definitely look on board and great spirit but just the wee things you notice from him ( ie. Consoling vogt last night) Loving the AJ revolution and hope this could be a special season COYW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Alfred is basically a slightly more cuddly, less scarey Jens (with hair). We are currently 3 points better off than we were this time last season. Even if we lose to Rangers we will still be 2 points better off after 5 games. All that with having totally replaced nearly the entire team. After the Rangers game we have a 10 day break. We then play Aberdeen and Dundee and go into the international break. I suspect that come October we will be starting to see the real Alfred Johansson Motherwell side. Im pretty excited about the prospect. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. Early days of course, but this defintely Alfred Johansson's team. Not JBA's. He's had a baptism of fire, with departures of top players; signing a squad of new ones; a long injury list; and a demanding Conference League schedule. Many fans, especially younger ones, felt that JBA was irreplaceable. He isn't, no-one is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
