Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

[Radford]

Don't do it. Not even sure I'd wish Sean Goss on United. 

Would have needed to multi-quote several posts to basically just say I agree so instead will just repeat what's been said simply because Goss is easily one of my most disliked ever players at Saints. 

Saints literally could have gone top of the Premiership in late January 2019 if they'd won their first three league games after the split (two were against Celtic admittedly). The point being that we were flying. Of course you are always looking to improve the team, even in those situations for a club like Saints, but it's surely vital you actually, you know, do make it better if you chose to do that. 

Sean Goss killed our season. Absolute imposter of player. Avoid at all costs.

I thought I'd seen something about the mention of Goss being a mis-hearing of our interest in Gotts?

There's yer Liam Kelly and SOD in the Scotland squad.

Congratulations to our social media team on making it happen.

Looks like it's the other mob's turn to be slapped into their place by the big dog.

[Kapowzer]

Can't say I'm sad to see David Marshall papped as he's what 3rd choice at Derby? I'd say Kelly deserves it for endeavour and ability.

Assumed because Gerrard is rotating the keepers McLaughlin would have stayed in because, well he plays for The Rangers.

Thought McTominay would have got a shout as its still a few weeks away and he's back playing now albeit not full games. Massive loss.

I'd expect because the toughest game is Denmark away he'll go with experience so unless Turnbull paps in a hat-trick every weekend till then I think he'll get a start against Moldova at Hampden. Abundance of riches in midfield. Gilmour would have probably started against Croatia after Wembley if it wasn't for Covvy D.

Not my choice but I think Clarke will go with:

------------------ Gordon --------------------

O'Donnell - Hanley - Cooper? - Tierney - Robertson

------- McGinn --- McGregor --- McLean -------

------------------------- Christie -------------

------------------ Adams --------------------

Someone suggested that but whoever it was posted the rumour originally didn't reply to either confirm or deny as far as I saw.

It's on this page: https://www.steelmenonline.co.uk/forums/index.php?/topic/16650-20212022-rebuild/page/78/#comments

I thought Alexander's chat about transfers pre-match kind of hinted that the players we were looking at had/have other options specifically the point about "we don't know if we' will win those battles" but I'm maybe just projecting with that.

Quote

Alexander confirmed that the Steelmen are working on a few transfers but he stressed that he’s only looking to bring in quality players.

“Not just bodies but good players,” Alexander admitted when asked if he's looking to add to his squad.

“It’s important that we are not just getting numbers because we want good quality.

“We want to try and improve the team and the squad. We have a couple of things going on in the background but we don’t know whether we will win those battles.

“We’ve identified a couple of players that we feel can help us improve. We will keep trying until the last minute of the window and I know when we get to that point, we will have a good squad."

One thing that I've been impressed with Clark is that he will pick players that are doing well in our league when in the past the rule was "Play for Rangers/Celtic/EPL or do well in the English 2nd tier".  Having players that I might see on a normal Saturday league game in the Scotland squad makes the national team more interesting for me.

fwiw, I can't think of a single reason that Gilmour doesn't start against Denmark. Especially not for Kenny Maclean

If Gilmour doesn't start it is a HUGE step backwards considering he ran the show at Wembley the last time he wore a Scotland shirt.

tbf, from what you have said, you agree, just don't trust Clarke to follow suit.

Especially now that he's keeping Kenny McLean out of the Norwich team.

Glad to see he selected Zander Clark too, or the St Johnstone boys on here would have been in absolute meltdown after the other week.

Kelly's just been featured, albeit briefly, in your actual Sky News bulletin, so there may yet be some toys coming out of prams.

They need Zander to fire in the crosses at the warm up.

If we'd won our first three league games this season we would quite literally be top of the league right now, although I appreciate it's not an exact analogy to your 2019 situation.

I hold Robbie Crawford solely responsible for us not occupying that lofty spot, even though he didn't actually play in any of those games.

It's because of the direct correlation between the amount of beards in a squad and how successful they are.

Thankfully Scotland seemed to have cottoned on to it.

[YassinMoutaouakil]

Think how many players St Johnstone will get in the squad if they eventually manage to win a game this season.

[Gianfranco]

Is anyone else still waiting for their season ticket being posted out?

[Archie McSquackle]

I got mine through the post but my more local pals have gone to the club and collected them.

[ZX1886]

I’ve seen one other person today still waiting on there’s to arrive.

Can always pick it up through in Motherwell on Saturday I guess but with no cash gate in operation there’ll probably be a queue at the ticket office.

It’s not really convenient for me to get to Fir Park before Saturday due to work. I’ve paid for it to be posted so hopefully it arrives tomorrow.

Get on the phone, they will tell you if they have sent it or if it is sitting in the office.

Mine arrived through the post a couple of weeks ago, I am fairly sure I had no interaction with the club and certainly haven’t paid for it to be posted,  mine was an automatic renewal, was yours a new ticket?
