With the schedules and the high intensity of the game these days there are always injuries. Even with "load balancing". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson mk2. Total waste of money. Guess we are stuck with him. So we now need a new center of defence. Guys with pace, can pass a ball and do the defensive side of game would be nice. Need them into pronto with europe game in comming soon. New recruits urgently needed. You've nailed it sir. McGinn will be 36 by the time he recovers and you have to ask what his future contribution will be. By the time he comes back in, we will likely have a new established central defence. A bit part player at best? Its really sad as he's been great for us and deserves to go out on a high, but we have to be realistic. Hendry? His signing baffled me at the time, even moreso now. His style never suited us as he was more of a Curtis Main type; a foil for someone else and not a goalscorer. A square peg in around hole if you will. Then we have his seemingly serious injury record and yet again he's out. When did this latest injury occur? I can see both players being passengers to greater or lesser degrees this term. As for central defence - time is not on our side. Hopefully Nick Daws identified targets many months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellsince75 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 McGinns situation not surprising nor are the other gaps across the squad - reasonable to expect that we have several players lined up and now that players contracts have expired Im hoping the next couple of weeks we see several quality players come through the door. Hope that we sort out the others who are leaving at pace as well. No point in having them around if they're not staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats correct...a repeat of last seasons friendly, which was preceded by a 7s tournament hosted by the Block E lads, and will be again this year, in aid of mens mental health charities. Motherwell were very happy with the event last year and offered it up again this season...as with last season it'll be a young 'well side brought over to Bellshill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately this is now postponed, as motherwell are taking a number of the youth players across to Denmark due to our small squad. The charity tournament will still go ahead, followed by a match against Darvel. The match v motherwell will be rearranged for a later date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
