It feels like there's a definite irony in there that the guy who was signed to fix our midfield has ended up fixing our defence (so far). Does he have a twin? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that the Butcher/Casey/McGinn thing has pretty much been an unqualified success so far, I'm paranoid about us changing it in any way unless we are forced to. It will likely be tested to destruction tomorrow, but it has definitely been effective against every non-OF we've played and so even if we get pumped by Rangers, I'd hate to see a knee-jerk reaction to that. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interesting wrinkle as I saw it was that Butcher was one of 3 of the January 9 who had signed deals beyond the end of the season (Blaney and Danzaki being the other two). Like, I'm sure the deals have relegation breaks and all that but the slight worry I had was whether Hammell may have made a pitch based on Butcher playing a specific role that he'd bought into but inside a couple of weeks everything's out the window with a new manager in and him being asked to play centre back. There's probably a version of that where it becomes a bit awkward. I know players will generally just give bland platitudes when they're up in front of the press but if he's into it and no one's agitating to change things up then...cool.

rowsdower Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I read that statement, and I must be getting old. Firstly, I can't read shit that's in multiple colours on a coloured background so maybe need to get my eyes checked. Secondly, they may want to concede that some of the shite they've done this season was actually wrong and isn't condoned by the vast majority of our support. Thirdly, they have a bit of an ego about them that doesn't quite sit with being motherwell fans. I doubt anyone going to the game tomorrow gives a f**k. Authority figures being b*****ds is nothing new though. We should be working with fans, not villianizing them (except for the ones that trash pubs). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem like there is some truth in the middle, wee fannies being wee fannies and job worths being job worths. Not a great mix. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketts had said in his pre-match that there were a couple who had been involved recently that have been carrying injuries/knocks. I take it Obika would be one of them then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casagolda Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 Spittal and Van Veen have looked good playing off Obika. Without him and with Van Veen presumably having to be the focal point, I sadly can’t see it working. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
