Match Thread Motherwell 2 - 0 Aberdeen

[TopDon]

According to Google, Motherwell have had 24% possession and two shots on target. We've had 20 shots w/ 7 on target. Not sure how accurate, but absolutely inexcusable to lose this 2-0 either way.

Allan Russell sent off

[Stoneybloke]

Down to 6th now. Is it a crisis yet or not? Am I being too alarmist?

[South Stand Seagull]

What a punch in the gut. I would like to say we’re clearly the better team- but probably more accurate to say clearly better players.. not team. 
 

horrible horrible defending. Nothing to offer in the final third. 
not really a negative person, but hard to see anything else than negativity on this. 
 

Ramsay is great. Good on the club on his development - but he should be out of here sooner rather than later. Hopefully for a nice price.

[sooth_stander]

Glass is just compounding his mistakes by making more mistakes. And more….

Plethara of midfielders played simultaneously 

No width 

No pace.

Signs a centre half and leaves him on the bench.

[Zeus]

No amount of stats about possession and shots on target is glossing over that. 

A fucking shite result. 

[AllyDon]

Dreadful performance and result. 

Early days for Glass but I am thoroughly unimpressed so far.

Hope I am wrong but I see a long hard season ahead!!

We miss Considine already. 

With him in defence they're not getting two free headers right in front of goal. 

Ramsey better not be out long term, or we are fucking fucked at the back. 

[super_al]

Where was Samuel today?

[don corleone]

Well, that's my early season optimism completely gone now. Glass out! I don't know why I do this to myself anymore. Fuck this.

I havnt seen game yet but we have had 22 shots on goal and 7 on target, offering nothing in final third is a bit of a stretch id guess? Looking back in chat everyone was quite happy with how we were playing till we went 1-0 down then everything is negative from there till FT. Either way its a terrible result.

Reprieve for Jack Gurr next week if Ramsay doesn't make it. 

[Millertime]

I hope Glass is under genuine pressure just now

Absolutely no tactical nous at all and the amount of midfielders we have is baffling 

[Reed or deed]

Fuck motherwell.

McRorie to RB and Bates in.

[Torry Tosser]

Show yourself now?

Hopefully come Monday he won't feel any pressure as the manager of AFC. 

 

Edit. Before anyone says I know it won't happen.

Nah Glass will just put McCrorie to RB if Ramsay is injured. I'd rather him there than in central defence as Glass is clearly not going to play him in central midfield. 
 

Pathetic stuff losing to this Motherwell team. The honeymoon period is well and truly over for Glass.

[Ke1t]

Please... for the love of fucking god... STOP putting McCrorie in defence.

Aye I was joking. 

But it was probably too soon!

 

 

[King Street Loon]

Didn't see the game, but from what I could hear in commentary we had plenty possession, but as per usual we're powderpuff in defence and have no cutting edge, no creativity.

Glass has had plenty time to identify the issues afflicting the defence and work on it during the IB, but seems like he learned nothing and went for the status quo with Gallagher and McCrorie.

Also, what is the attacking/striking coach doing to earn his corn? We lack creativity and are creating next to nothing.

Everyone knows Glass is Cormack's pet project, but scrutiny is building on him and he needs to turn this around and quickly.

[Kincardine_Mearns_Red]

Stephen Glass=Roy Aitken mk2 without the league cup.

[WesthillWanderersFC]

Games like today only add to my suspicions that Glass can’t organise a team & isn’t up to it.

As soon as I saw the starting X1 I was worried.

Yet AGAIN he plays all of Brown, Ferguson, Longstaff & Ojo.

4 central midfielders? WTF is that all about & why is he persisting with it?! 

We can’t defend. 
We have no width. 
We have no pace & zero creativity.

Today as as bad as anything McIness teams churned out.

This isn’t going to end well. 

 

[sooth_stander]

He might resign, you never know

He needs results in the next 3 games because we’re getting very little in October against Hibs & the two sets of scum.
