Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons


Recommended Posts

Pretty pedestrian first half. A lot of passing along the back. 

Half hearted tackles galore as well. 

Good effort from Woolery for the goal. I wasn't confident that the simple tap in was actually going to beat the goalie from Amaluzors run towards the ball.

At least we're winning and Airdrie are losing but doesn't sound great from the radio.

Actually we're playing 'alright'.  'Doing enough'.   That sort of thing.
KVV needs either to smash one in, or just get a bit more luck but at the moment he's wasting some of our chances.  So it could be a bit more comfortable if he was on better form.
Amaluzor took his goal well, with the sort of more confident shot and with better luck that KVV needs. 

But with Airdrie losing, maybe we should just accept getting past this stage  will do, so our new signings can come in and maybe things will improve.  Then we can forget some of these uninspiring performances.

Genuinely feel like if Maguire was an English kid signed from Northampton he’d have been punted by now. Totally understand it’s very early season but feel like he’s so below what we need. Even Donnelly with taped knees and zero fitness has played much better so far. 
 

Also agree with the shouts on Dear Toby. Both games he’s played he’s looked incredibly off it whereas last season when he played he seemed largely *ok*

Definitely hoping for 2 centre backs, 2 centre mids and someone to help take some of the pressure of Van Veen, feel like we’re v over reliant on him “making things happen” for us

I’m sad to say it but if things don’t change I might not be renewing my subscription to the Toby fan club. Absolutely honking the last 2 games.

Today was fine and nothing more. Thought Woollery and O’Connor did pretty well. Amaluzor took his goal well but didn’t do much else, and the penalty save from Kelly was excellent.

I said in the first half that the Annan #11 looked decent, have now discovered that he is former "mini Messi" Chris Johnston. Glad to see my eye for a pler remains intact.

Some lad in front of me screamed "AWAY BACK TAE MIDDLE EARTH FRODO" at him and that made my day.

We've successfully limped through the group despite that minter on Wednesday - so I guess that was the only objective. There was no dramatic improvement today against the lowest ranked team in the group but we looked solid and always in control.

Donnelly getting 90 mins is probably the biggest positive out of the game today and I thought Amaluzor settled into a decent first start, even if I detect a hint of the Seedorf's about him (and he should have had a 2nd obviously)

Two things worth the admission money - Van Veen getting booked for launching it into the press box and Ricky Lamie looking a class above his opponents.
