capt_oats Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 (edited) Chucking this in here rather than the match thread...Robinson's comment at 58 seconds about the first team players playing for the u20s yesterday...ooooooooft. Campbell's fit and Cadden only had cramp on Saturday and has trained all week. So... Edited February 22, 2018 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 Yeah I noticed that too. I like how honest Robinson is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I can’t be bothered starting a new thread but I saw the EFL are following the English Premiership in having the summer transfer deadline on the 7th of August.I wonder how that will effect us and if our league will copycat? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he seemed to check himself and went a more diplomatic route. There's a point where it genuinely looks like he's just going to pish himself laughing. Even then..."They're...they're available for selection...let's just say that." Ooooft. Edited February 22, 2018 by capt_oats 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al B Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I think the thing I like about him isn't so much his honesty, but the fact that you never get the impression he's saying anything that he hasn't already said to any players involved, and never singles anyone out. It's all just honest, general comment. His pressers never make for uncomfortable listening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellView Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 On the bright side, he's defo keen on Barry MacGuire - it will be great to get another under 20 breaking into the first team squad ( team even better ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del_Superwell Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Campbell will definitely be a future Scotland International, great player a bit like Scott Brown only better on the ball I would say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Quite an interesting read about Frear here, particularly the bit about Motherwell offering him an opportunity to play on a platform he just wouldn't get down south outside of the Premier League.: https://dankellysportswriting.wordpress.com/2018/02/24/one-step-back-two-steps-forward-why-young-players-must-see-rejection-as-an-opportunity/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She went on to say that he is a gem of a guy. To me, he has the ability, but he needs two things to happen - one being a consistent run, and the other being played in his best position. I feel he is suffering from the same problem as Bigi, what Robinson wants them to do is contrary to their natural game. These are the guys who can make a difference when we have "earned the right to play football," as Robinson keeps banging on about. I have a vision of Bigi running about like a headless chicken chasing the ball in our first away win against Dundee. While I appreciate the effort, he's one of the few players we have capable of opening defences with a telling pass. Frear is another. I have a hunch that Campbell is underrated in this regard too, but maybe that's just me being a fanboy.

WellView Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 On that note, I'd like to see Frear getting a contract extension, and we may as well punt Bigi in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellView Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Magic three points today. It'll take a miracle for Ross County to catch us now. The Aberdeen game is an irritation, field the under-20's and let's have a proper go at Hearts next Sunday. Win that, and this will turn into a dream season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I really think Frear will be fantastic for us if we find a way to fit him into the team consistently. Arguably our second best player from January to May last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they won't but will they still sell/loan players out? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I see on the Well Society newsletter that we raised £200k, which effectively becomes £400k when the generous offer from Les Hutchinson comes into play. I'm assuming that £200k is a pretty decent dent in our debt to him (even though I suspect he isn't that desperate to recoup it). Also - 2400 members is a decent percentage of our diehard support and overall makes the thing feel a bit more viable than many expected. Interested to see if that number can be grown by much more... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that £200k is a pretty decent dent in our debt to him (even though I suspect he isn't that desperate to recoup it). It gets better when you factor in this write off as well..With Les Hutchison’s Double your Money initiative, this amount is even more significant as Les Hutchison has generously agreed to write off the same amount from his loan to the Club. This, of course, means that your support has made even more of an impact on the Club’s financial position, allowing almost £200,000 to be written off! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Alfie and James Scott both on the scoresheet for #youngmotherwell tonight. Scott's 2nd is a cracking take and finish tbf. Noted that neither Turnbull or Maguire were involved. Edited February 27, 2018 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
