Even if the extension is triggered, he goes to the Euros and Motherwell won't stand in his way if he gets the opportunity to "progress his career" at a Celtic or a Championship club (which is what he seems to be angling for) and Motherwell get a non-prohibitive fee. The line is that wild that I went to quote it then realised no it can't have been that I'm sure he'll decide a fair few with Motherwell and then see what progresses from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 In 2017, McInnes told us that having a relatively fully fit squad was no accident. So who is accountable for this deterioration over recent seasons?You can’t proclaim this and then play the bad luck card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not the most active, isn't very enthusiastic at the high press and isn't very good with his back to goal so doesn't suit the headless chicken/ random punt style we've played since he got back. He also took a while to get going last time but he's like juggernaut, he'll be unstoppable one he's up to speed. If we could just play though the midfield in to feet or get decent crosses in he'd be fine. You reckon he’s good with the ball in to feet? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart to replace McGinn and Jones for Scott Wright. Both very good players on their day. If Stewart is not just shoehorned in he'd be a good signing. McInnes just needs to utilize him appropriately. On 11/01/2021 at 15:29, DrewDon said: Funny thing is, if Stewart did sign for us again there would be a good portion of our support who would argue that he is actually one of our best players and McInnes just doesn't know how to use him properly. Haha, not even signed (yet). Edited January 20, 2021 by DrewDon 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngusTheBull Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I keep on feeling that we should really be pushing harder and capitalizing on Celtic's constant slip-ups this season and that in previous seasons we would have been level or ahead of them. So during a particularly boring meeting this morning I've compared our points totals after 22 games during each of McInnes's 8 seasons in charge. PTS GD 20/21 39 5 19/20 36 3 18/19 42 13 17/18 43 9 16/17 40 18 15/16 46 15 14/15 47 16 13/14 44 14 For reference, this season Celtic after 22 games currently have 46 points and a GD of 30. I was slightly surprised in all honesty - I had the general impression we were doing particularly badly this season, and although it's our second worst points total during McInnes's time in charge, it's not especially worse than normal. particularly since Rangers* got promoted (16/17). For all Celtic are having a nightmare of a season, given the better goal difference they have it's effectively on par with our best season over 8 years. Despite all this, I do still think that it is a bit of a missed opportunity not to pressure Celtic more - though, I'll accept, it's perhaps not as much of a missed opportunity as I originally thought.

It has also become more difficult for us to gain points in the later years as the blue cheek has strenthened. That also applies to Celtic, but applying to Celtic doesn't affect our points total. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dons_1988 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 no, we're doing fine points wise. I am still concerned though, more than I was pre-Christmas. I don't think we look the same team as we did before the last international break and I can't see us replicating the points total in the second half of the season if things don't change from a personnel perspective. This is just anecdotal and to my untrained eye but it's beginning to look more than a dip in form. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDon99 Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 I don't think it's solely about this season. Plenty factors as to why people want the manager changed. The boring, predictable, and uninspiring football is a tip of the iceberg. The rest of that Iceberg being the fact that they're just bored of having the same manager for 7 and a half years and want their club to be run like a reality TV show. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic will probably still end this season with somewhere in the region of 80 points. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what points total they will get this season.
