AdamMFC Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Is that Van Veen now just the 1 goal off of Moults record of 18? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a great striker at our level. It’s also grand that VAR went our way today. As an open KVV disliker, I can answer this. What I expected from him is all the things he's doing now, that he wasn't doing before. I have absolutely no issues with him at the moment, and I'd be extremely surprised if anyone did. I've never said he didn't have ability, he just (previously) always did the wrong thing and played like he either didn't care what his instructions were or didn't know what he was doing. Previously I fully believed (and still do), that we'd have scored more goals collectively than he did individually, if he wasn;t playing. For whatever reason, he has completely pulled that back and he's playing like a player who is actually listening, and is interested in doing something other than what he wants to do regardless of whether it's right or not. Absolutely no issues with him at the moment....delighted. I still stand by my opinion of him previously...that hasn't changed, but I think pretty much all of us would admit that we can see he has changed dramatically. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie Kirk Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 The system we play now suits the big man to a T. Hammell had him playing left wing against Raith Rovers FFS. All hail the mercurial Dutch master! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceiling Granny Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Delighted with that result today, especially playing against 10 men. On KVV I think he plays better when he’s worried someone else might become the favourite. I mean is his upturn in form linked to Hammell leaving, or Obika turning up with his own song .

Swello Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 The last 2 games have felt like the type that we wouldn't have got anything under Hammell - we're both more resilient and we're carrying a bit of luck for the first time this season. County were slightly the better side before the sending off I thought - but we weren't handing out free gifts like Utd and the game was the type of low quality affair you expect in relegation 6 pointers. An Aberdeen win in the next couple of hours will have us pretty much out of reach for the bottom spot I think - playoffs still too close for comfort with a couple of tough games coming up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowsdower Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Anyone watching the replays will have no complaints about the penalty decision being overturned. Iacovitti was pulling butcher down by his shirt before butcher grabbed his. The red card foul was stupid and a clear professional foul. When you see the angle from behind the goal, you can see that KVV was going to cut across Iacovitti before being took out. The side on angle makes it look closer. So I agree, the ref was shite and VAR fixed it for a change. Now we're moving into some tougher games, so a few twists still to go in the relegation battle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 (edited) Until the sending off that was never going to end 2-0 to Motherwell. We were excellent in the first half, by far the better side. Second half was a more scrappy affair. Really dissapointed by that result. One giant leap forward, then all that ground is lost.

Said it a few weeks ago, but I completely understand why he was how he was; basically being asked to cover the forward third of the pitch alone looks a fucking shite job. Suddenly his work rate has halved, and immediately he looks class for it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is utterly mental that folk can’t see he was being asked to do a completely impossible job he wasn’t suited to and still had so many goals…. The shouts about KVV remind me of the abuse Higdon first took when we were shelling the ball to his heid and folk saying how useless he was. Then we realised get the ball to his feet and play around him. He is a class act and we are lucky to have him in my opinion. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair chance it would have been 1-0 if the guy never took out Van Veen. Then who knows what would have happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to Well for participating I thought it was a nice touch that the players and ref stopped to join in. Relatively small gesture but I'm sure it meant the world to the guys family. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be… however that would be mental imo …. People seem to forget he isn’t a young player anymore. Being asked to cover essentially the full front line, with no midfield support, no support up top and still get in the box. But be called lazy, it’s no wonder his head was down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
