I still think he is a grafter and puts in a good shift every game. I think a good addition for the next season and a half. 22 minutes ago, thisGRAEME said: Quite happy to have a player that actually scores penalties, tbh. For all he has other faults, we already have one in Mark O'Hara. I'm pleased with him signing - it's very rare we actually get a player who has played in the top flight in Scotland as much before joining us at 29. Normally, it's someone stepping up a level, or stepping down a level. I'm just tempering expectations of people asking when the goals will come in six weeks time when we've maybe had one penalty, which he didn't take. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thruthenight Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 When he inevitably scores against us the next time we meet then it's gonna be heartbreaking In the list of ex-Livi players that you guys have signed in recent years, he'll be closer to Gallagher in terms of impact than Lamie. If he doesn't start 15 games between now and the end of the season then I'll be surprised. Lawless and Dykes were both by far and away our best players last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always mind his debut away at Clyde in the cup under McCall, rounded off an impressive display with a goal and was then never seen again. Mental that was nearly 10 years ago now..

He was faintly unlucky to come through as a wide-man/attacker when we had; Humphrey, Law, Murphy, Ojamaa, and ...Omar Daley for two wide spots, tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiki only counts league appearances for some reason. He's made 2 prior appearances for Motherwell. The aforementioned League Cup game and played the last 15 minutes that same season in the Scottish Cup in what was a 4-0 home win against Queen's Park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard enough to get people here at the best of times, so I think we have to be realistic as to what we can do in the current climate. Lawless knows the club, the league and half our squad so will settle quickly. He's a proven decent mid-table player at this level, with over 200 appearances and 50 goal/assist contributions. Mind Barraclough's first signing of the window was Tony Straker on loan from York City? This seems like a far more shrewd bit of business as a first signing. Agree with this. Obviously circumstances are very different in this window but a quick check over Robinsons January windows: 17/18 IN Curtis Main Nadir Ciftci (Loan) Tom Aldred (Loan) Peter Hartley (loan made permanent) Stephen Hendrie (Loan) OUT Louis Moult (Preston) Jack McMillan (Livingston) Alex Fisher (Yeovil) Adam Livingston (Loan) (East Fife) 18/19 IN Ross McCormack (Loan) Gboly Ariyibi (Loan) OUT Andy Rose (Vancouver Whitecaps) Ryan Bowman (Exeter City) Ross MacLean (Falkirk) Gael Bigirimana (Hibs) Barry Maguire (QotS) (Loan) Aaron Taylor Sinclair (Crewe Alexandra) (Loan) Broque Watson (East Fife) (Loan) George Newell (Albion Rovers) (Loan) 19/20 IN Mikael Ndjoli (Loan) Rolando Aarons (Loan) Tony Watt OUT Devante Cole (Wigan - loan expired) James Scott (Hull City) David Devine (QotS) (Loan) Adam Livingstone (Clyde) (Loan) Casper Sloth (released) Generally speaking the players we've brought in have been loans and in their mid-20s. McCormack is really the only outlier on that front. Edited January 15, 2021 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some laugh when we've assembled our squad with Declan as some sort of Danny Ocean character and he fucks off to Celtic.

crispy Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I reckon Kelly, Lamie, Gallagher, Crawford and Lawless must've featured in the same game for us. If they do for you then that's got pub quiz question written all over it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some players play good at one club and shite at another right enough but Lawless was brilliant for us when we played him as an attacking winger, the season before we let him off the leash he wasn't so good as a wingback, and had to track back more. We did incredibly well to replace him with Forrest, really thought we'd struggle to get a player to fill the void he left. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGhee was made out to be some sort of monster by fans for upsetting the human highlight reel. Unfortunately Ainsworth was like that for 9/10 games at a time sometimes. Look at how fucking poor he was there. And that park is a pure tattie field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
