Not enough runners from midfield beyond the strikers. PS was miles off it upfront and ZR left on his own . PS more of an impact player off bench. ZR was unlucky not to get a pen. Pedestrian passing side to side with no penetrating forward through balls and when we did shift it out wide far too slow the build up play, easy for Patrick to regroup and defend. Dylan, Lennon, Ox all got pass marks the rest need to up it massively. Watching Stama's goals in the A League most were headers, poor guy won't get a sniff if the team can't get the ball to him. He'll need the right service. Not enough crosses into the box, not enough link up play and hold up play mid to front around the box If Patrick took their chances we'd be out. Got away with one
When is kettlewell going to start taking the blame himself. His tactics is non exsisting, his formation is so negitive, i thought this season would go back and give it a go but guess back to the pub next week. I wouldnt let him run a school team. 😂
Who is talking to you then Stewart, your performance was not good enough. Thistle looked like the premiership side and deserved to win. I can see no plan A, B or C no structure or creativity in the side you have put together, very much a Repeat on last year. O’Donnell, Halliday and Blaney should be out the door. I fear the worst on that showing. I was very impressed with thistle and the way they went about the game, good manager.
It’s honestly shocking the way the team are playing. It’s proper negative football and I don’t really get the tactics from kettlewell. Halliday and Blaney are passengers in this team. The midfield is non existent at time and although there’s a few boys unavailable I still really worry about this season.
As angry as I've seen him. I would suggest that one or two Motherwell player's career at Fir Park virtually ended today. He hinted as much. There is not one player with the exception of young Wells who gets pass marks. Cause for concern is a fabulous way to put it. A special mention to Halliday who really should be shown the door on this performance.
Halliday proved he was finished last season and we still brought him back. He's a waste of a shirt outside of taking corners. It's also no coincidence the best football we've played in the last 2 years was the 5 months that Max Johnston replaced O'Donnell at right back. Again, S.O.D is done at this level. Seddon will improve us on the other side but O'Donnell needs to be replaced and if he isn't we are going to struggle badly. We improved when Slattery was injured and out the team last season, what do we do when his contract runs out? Give him another one! I know we've had injuries to a lot of players but we've got loads of midfielders and everyone of them is a jobber. No creativity in there whatsoever. The squad isn't good enough in terms of balance. No wide players, no creative players, so what do you expect? You can shout at the players all you like, if they don't have what you want them to they aren't going to be able to do it.
Another non event of a performance from the senior players. No energy from the side. We just did put in the effort in far too many cases. I could go on and on. We all saw the performance so it’s up to the players and back room staff to get the team ready for the league. Oh, well done the Maryhill Communists.
I don’t know about you, Jim, but that was nearly an early banana skin yesterday. I thought it was a dreadful display of ‘backward football’. I’ll no be back!! 🤣🤣🤣
Very diplomatic by the CE.He knows more than most that the WS project is a good concept when in the Bundesliga not effective with a small fanbase that can provide little financially to an ambitious club. Well meaning emotional amateurs should not have a disproportionate say in the running of a multi million pound business. Recently retired WS member ,still a season ticket holder😎👘
I was at firpark today, noticed the new away top in the window. Looks amazing, Belter. Popped in to buy it, disappointed to find that I couldn’t and could only order it on line. It will not be in the shop for another month. That is not so good. Something is not right there, you should be able to drop in with cash, especially when it’s displayed in the window. Massively missed opportunity. Somebody sort it out quickly.
Barmack was a chancer who saw an easy in. Don’t buy that he did it ‘for the good of the football club’, pretty sure he just saw the writing on the wall
first impressions are, I like it, I just hope the quality is good. we should bring back stitched on badges and logos, these rubber stick ones are tacky, the MFC looks stitched. I like this.
