Surely bring Cabraja on and put Stevenson into midfield.

Or put Stevenson at right back ,

Surely we should just put a young right back on as a like for like. Is Megwa not on the bench?

Putting Stevenson in midfield when options are short worked before and seems like the obvious solution. So obvious it's not something LJ will do. Up to Henderson to give fans a reason to thinking he has something to give.

That's a blow with Cadden going off

Why?

He is a midfielder and Campbell is the best option at right back. Henderson hasn’t shown anything so far.

Because we have moved a combative midfielder out to right back and replaced him in midfield with a waif.

If Cadden injured - a right back ?

Also Campbell was playing on the left of a midfield three, Kenneh couldnt play there.

Simple solution there is move Newell to where Campbell was and Kenneh takes Newell’s position.

We concede a goal every 46 mins without Kenneh compared to every 70 minutes when he is playing. Not always obvious what a DM is doing but in front of our defence was a lot more protected when he was playing.

Those stats largely come from games when we played against 10 men, so can't read too much into them.

Definitely lost a bit since our goal/Henderson sub but we are in the lead and looking a bit more threatening going forward.

I think we're being a bit harsh on Henderson, although I acknowledge he's still to find his feet this afternoon.

The loss of Campbell is a bigger factor than the introduction of Henderson.

It's been a bit of a baptism of fire for Henderson and I'd hope he might grow into the game a bit.

Worth noting we were playing into the low sun first half and are leading. Hasn’t been easy for the defence or midfield in our own half.

Johnson’s substitutions rarely improve us. Not sure who else could slot into the defence to keep Campbell in midfield but it’s definitely invited Motherwell back into the game.

When you're up against and it and looking for a bit of grit and determination then he's the equivalent of a man down. Has a bit of quality and is capable of the odd but of skill that will lead to an assist or goal bit it's a rarity and why he's struggled for 1stvteam football in his career so far.

Campbell moving to right back meant less pressing/ energy in midfield as Henderson just doesn’t close down the same.

2nd half is massive - how we use the subs important too.

Feel like we need a 2nd goal.

Started off really well but that has tailed off and rode our luck for a few minute period

Started off really well and were in full control.

McGeady is unbelievably sharp and quick over a short distance for someone his age, his composure is massive for us with being able to look after the ball.

Very good goal, great pick out from McGeady and very good touch and finish by Nisbet.

Thought we started losing our way just before Cadden went off so I wouldn’t put it all on Henderson, however he needs to do more. I’d have probably stuck on Kenneh and put Campbell right back or if you trust fish in a derby out him back on today as a like for like replacement.

Youan looks lost on the right wing.

All in all good to be winning at half time but need to regroup, get organised and control the game again

Something about this team so far this season is we do struggle to perform over 90 mins - so curious to see how we do 2nd half.

Regarding Youan - been playing well on the left but moved to right due to AM coming back (who provided the assist to the goal).

08-01-2023, 01:27 PM
In fairness to Youan and wingers in general, I do think there’s a reason why you play on a certain side.

You wouldn’t swap right and left full backs and expect a similar level.

That said it shouldn’t prevent him from being able to cross a ball or beat his man.

Skol
08-01-2023, 01:28 PM
I agree on youan. There are questions over him when he is on the left. I had assumed being on the right would suit him, but he looks poorer

Not sure what our options are though. Stick Henderson there ?

Tyler Durden
08-01-2023, 01:28 PM
Not gonna happen but I’d have Hanlon on and move Porto to RB

Hendo or Youan off and get Campbell back central.

Whatever the personnel they need a rocket to get some energy back in the game. More goals here for us

08-01-2023, 01:29 PM
Boyd making a pertinent point. Magennis being in the box created the space for Nisbet. Some folk have argued that it should be the strikers making and taking their own chances, some merit in that, but Nisbets goal an example of how crucial it is for the midfield to run ahead of the ball and actually get in the box.

Paulie Walnuts

Something about this team so far this season is we do struggle to perform over 90 mins - so curious to see how we do 2nd half.

Regarding Youan - been playing well on the left but moved to right due to AM coming back (who provided the assist to the goal).I think it's maybe because of the attacking qualities of the well fullback too

Wouldnt imagine mcgeady would offer quite the same athleticism against him

But, whatever side mcgeady wants he should get [emoji23]

Would far rather have Newell in DCM, hes a much better player.

Those stats largely come from games when we played against 10 men, so can't read too much into them.

That’s not true at all.

Kenneh has only played 143 minutes out of his total 1215 minutes (12%) against 10 men.

In comparison, without Kenneh we have played against 10 men for 171 minutes out of a total 855 minutes (20%)

I think he’s closer to terrible to be honest.

Fair enough, I’m seeing plenty of good movement and sharp passes to keep possession moving, maybe no one else is.

Tyler Durden
08-01-2023, 01:31 PM
He’s not been ‘terrible’. Shanked a shot, some lovely passes, some misplaced passes.

Just checked and was surprised to see he’s had 19 passes with a 95% completion rate.

But he’s also had 5 crosses and I think every one was really poor. Final ball basically is too often lacking from him

In fairness to Youan and wingers in general, I do think there’s a reason why you play on a certain side.

You wouldn’t swap right and left full backs and expect a similar level.

That said it shouldn’t prevent him from being able to cross a ball or beat his man.

Playing on a certain side makes quite a big difference to beating a man to be fair.

I played to a decent level and was a right footed left winger. I could beat a man quite well on the left but I found it a lot more difficult on the right.

The crossing though I’d agree

I think we're being a bit harsh on Henderson, although I acknowledge he's still to find his feet this afternoon.

The loss of Campbell is a bigger factor than the introduction of Henderson.

It's been a bit of a baptism of fire for Henderson and I'd hope he might grow into the game a bit.

I don’t think we are being harsh tbh, he’s nowhere near our level or the level we require to get to where we want to be

Yoon on the left appears to have the beating of his man, but needs to check on to the right foot and loses the momentum he has. That’s why I assumed on the right he might be able to whip in a better cross, but appears less effective so far.

Started well, very good goal and nice to see 3 players in the box when we scored. As ever we are allowing so many balls into our box and we are lucky to have kept a clean sheet. At the other end our crossing has been terrible barring one cracker from AM. Hope we get the win but not hugely confident

Boyd making a pertinent point. Magennis being in the box created the space for Nisbet. Some folk have argued that it should be the strikers making and taking their own chances, some merit in that, but Nisbets goal an example of how crucial it is for the midfield to run ahead of the ball and actually get in the box.

McGeady took out 3 players and then the rest of them ball watching middle.

It’s been annoying he’s not been fit all season. Along with Nisbet you feel there are goals / assists in the team.

I don’t have access to stats but I like the look of Kenneh and think he gives good protection to back four. Passing could be better.

Yeah, it was a good point. The defender had to cover Magennis and pointed to the other defender to cover Nisbet but he didn't move because Youan was behind him. Pretty poor as Nisbet was obviously the bigger danger.

As usual we have a huge squad but when one player comes off a vastly inferior one (Henderson) comes on. He should be one of the first out the door but Johnson continues to select him. He has a blind spot re Henderson. Even though Motherwell have the worst home record in the league I reckon we won't win this game.

Not just protection but allows the likes of Newell and Campbell to play better. He’s had a couple of high profile errors but his short pass completion numbers are just slightly below Magennis/Newell and are better than both Campbell/Henderson.
