LogieLivi Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I really fuckin hope not.I'm worried about Holts signings so far. All have been pretty bad. Wylde and Erskine and being linked with Whittaker? No into that 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No into that I don't get the hate for Erskine. He offered us something different to what we had. Wylde hasn't worked out but not every signing does. Bartley looks a great piece of business though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennon tried to reinvent him as a holding midfielder, when McGeouch was injured (about a year ago), and then as a centre-back. He filled in once or twice in the Euro games, and looked really shaky even against the Faroese fishermen. Oddly enough, he did have a couple of semi-decent games back at right-back in December (while Gray was injured). I struggle to believe that any FT team would sign him, except as a player-coach type thing. He's not played at all under Heckingbottom. I think his only recent appearance in public was in a Norwich end-of-season charity/celebration game. Although it's interesting to note who was playing in midfield in that team.

Livilion28 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Not sure on Bartley signing. He’s a big boy but does he close down well like our other midfielders. I’ve seen he hasn’t featured much this season . Is that injury or just not being picked? 3 year deal is strange to 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he'll fit in well at Livi and give us some good protection for the backline. If Marvin is anything to go by I'm excited by the prospect of our team next year. Whittaker is just rumours at the moment as was Christie but I have faith that if he isn't going to fit the team, Holt and Martindale won't sign him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dykes in particular looked great. Missed a sitter though, he's definitely not a goalscorer. I think he'll fit in well here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like(d) Erskine, too; he is quite unlike any other player we have (Sibbald potentially) and I don’t think he let us down. Based on the comments of Hibs fans it sounds like Bartley was a great player. Given our small budget maybe have to aim to make the most out of someone who could still be a great signing? Yea, they won’t all work but it’s not as if we persevere with them in the team if we are to believe Wylde is done, for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilfs Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) As a Bournemoutlh fan I was very impressed by Marvin Bartley. He played a huge role in keeping us in the league and the run through the divisions. He has a great attitude. Eddie Howe took him to Burnley with him and thought very highly of him. Obviously he is older now but I think he is a fantastic signing for Livi. Edited May 17, 2019 by Neilfs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really encouraging to hear, think it means Byrne will be away though but having Bartley in as a bit of an enforcer with some bite in the middle will be good. We're going to be some meaty physical team next season, Lithgow, Dykes, Bartley. Teams will be leaving the games in a stretcher 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livilion28 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 What makes you think Byrne will be away? Bartley might not be a guaranteed starter every week? Lawson Keags Pitts Sibbald Byrne are all under contract and can play midfield 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawson Keags Pitts Sibbald Byrne are all under contract and can play midfield I actually think Byrne will be away, also. I think a few bigger clubs will come calling and the club would rather let him go for a fee now vs. free next summer. Had he had a run in the team since the Dundee sending off then I’d have suggested him for captain but it doesn’t look like it’s going that way. I’m a big fan of the way Byrne breaks up the game and controls possession. Edited May 17, 2019 by crispy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn Hooch Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Set piece coach required...applications to Gary Holt. That's 2 of the easiest goals Motherwell will have scored all season. We've been pretty poor at defending set pieces since Christmas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
