Big Stall Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 40 applications, not 140. So Derek Weir said on Radio Scotland today. Are these general prospects or a bunch of fannies sending in their champ man cv's?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuwell Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Just don't understand yesterdays performance, we never started the engine nevermind not getting out of 1st gear! We gave them to much respect and room. Add to that our passing was on par with an under 11 team. Stayed for the full 90min waiting for a sign that the players did give a fuck but I didn't see anything. Very very poor from the players - get the finger out for Wednesday boys! PS tip for youngy, either play Hateley at right back or leave him out - the guys never a midfielder! Might not be a lot of folks cup of tea but I'd rather see Fitzpatrick in midfield. At least he chases the ball, tries to tackle and doesn't give opponents time on the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might not be a lot of folks cup of tea but I'd rather see Fitzpatrick in midfield. At least he chases the ball, tries to tackle and doesn't give opponents time on the ball. Have to agree! He doesn't cut it at all in midfield, and to be honest I don't think he is a better right back than saunders. I knew hately would play in midfield, but thought maybe sutton would have played instead of gow. Very surprising when hately went off that gow got moved into the middle?? Gow is not a central midfielder, he is a luxury that we can't afford, always takes too many touches, and tries to be too fancy, I think everytime he had the ball he gave it away! Forbes and fitzpatrick have both improved the team when they have played. I'd have started with lasley and fitzy in middle and Sutton on the left. Sutton gave us a lift when he came on, and he is probably our strongest player, seems strange to leave him out a team that is constantly being bullied!

Wellimp Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 BBC Scotland Web site is saying sacked Blackburn Assistant Manager Neil McDonald is now favourite for Manager does anybody know anything about him ? Neil McDonald was first team coach under Peter Jackson for a few months at Lincoln City around 2007/2008. Team played very well while he was there but fell away when he left. Very highly respected in Enguurland. I think we could do a lot worse (Chris fucking Sutton!!!! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 We have an average squad of players and no money so let us concentrate in finishing in top 6 - we have punched above out weight over last 18 monthsYou can't punch above your weight for 18 months in football. It's 11 vs 11 every week, and over the course of a season the better teams finish higher up. So if we are top 6 it's because the players are sufficiently talented to merit being in the top 6. Not because we keep beating teams that are better than us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stayed for the full 90min waiting for a sign that the players did give a fuck but I didn't see anything. Very very poor from the players - get the finger out for Wednesday boys! We were well beaten by a Rangers team who looked like they could score every time they went up the park, our defence was a shambles, especially both full backs, Hammell and the bomb scare that is Saunders We need to get a manager in ASAP and get some shape and organisation into the team, Gordon Young is well out of his depth. I think the players were trying but against a defence as solid and organised as Rangers they got no chance. We missed Steve "betfred" Jennings in Midfield, i would have brought in Fitzpatrick and left Hatley at right back, instead of Saunders.

Saunders is young and should get better, but he is a bombscare at times. Still, he is a Scotland cap...... Hateley is a far better RB but never a centre midfielder.

fatcalf Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I like the term 'punching above our weight' cos so many folk don't. The fact it is true and annoys so many people is a bonus. I also like the fact it bugs folk, and so many don't like it it seems. Therefore I tend to sway towards using it, just cos other folk hate it. In fact I think I might use it as my sig in future "Punching Above Our Weight" Looks good don't you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motherwellpartizan Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 And if more people did that we'd be in an even bigger mess. People are though! Its a sad fact small clubs like motherwell will not face up to charging fans a fortune for the entertainment on offer and the "service" provided. More and more do it more often for the same reasons stated above. Adress the problems that are forcing fans away and resources may be more accessable.

I doubt anyone could even explain what constitutes our 'weight', what constitutes our 'punches' and quantify the quality of those punches in such a way that makes us somehow lucky in beating what, by definition, must be consistently superior opponents. It just sounds like a label tossed around by some incompetent, OF loving tabloid journo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
