Motherwell -V- Inverness CT - LC

[Robert]

I was close with my selection. Shaw preferred to Boyd the only difference.

The BBC have it as a 4 2 3 1 formation.

Hopefully those who have travelled will be able to let us know. 

[Robert]

Van Veen has scored in the 9th minute.

Oh dear. Here we go again?

[+MrCaleyjag]

State of our club perfectly summed up by the fact that Robbo is commentating on Radio Scotland tonight from the Ross County game.

I don't care where we are playing , against who or when but he should be nowhere else other than at our game regardless of his role.

[Northern_jaggie]

Loved that 2004 video, such great memories. The rapid counter attack was so exciting to watch and very effective, Barry Wilson was unplayable. How I wish we could counter like that again! 

[Robert]

2-0. Own goal by Devine. 

[Pele_Is_God]

Robbo has been doing more punditry this season. I think it’s time for him to leave and we could use his wage elsewhere. We don’t need a sporting director FFS

[Robert]

Shaw replaced by Boyd due to an injury.

That’s 8 injured now: Ram, Welsh, Walsh, Doran, Shaw, Oakley (we assume), Samuels and Sutherland. Plus Devine not fully fit. What’s going on?

Shaw had our only attempt on goal in the first half hour too.

It's about time certain people realised who paid their wages and that it's not the BBC

[No Shin Guards]

I say,

Dodds out. Jack Ross in. 

Eh what?  

[Robert]

Welcome back No Shin Guards! We’ve missed your wit and sarcasm!!

I thought he had died after celebrating his 102nd birthday!

Do you ever speak properly or are you just on here to stir things up again on a night when there may well be high emotions already!

For a club that can't afford to get rid of it's manager what makes you think we can afford Jack Ross as well?

[Robert]

Copied from BBC Sport app:

 

Motherwell are looking so comfortable in this League Cup tie. 

They are playing some lovely stuff, getting a lot of joy down either flanks. Debut boy Matt Penney looks like a valuable addition to the side and Kevin Van Veen, who's grabbed two goals, is also having a real influence on this game. 

Caley Thistle have offered very little so far. They've not been allowed to by a Motherwell side full of intent.

I say,

No question mark in your first paragraph so I'm assuming your making a statement as opposed to asking a question. 

Jack Ross needs to rebuild his reputation as a good manager. We need to rebuild out reputation as a good club. A match made in heaven.

Eh what?  

[+MrCaleyjag]

[Robert]

Delaney on for MacGregor. Goodness knows what our formation is now!

Deas or Delaney at left back and Harper in left midfield?

4-0.

Another Van Veen penalty after a handball by Carson.

I’m glad I’m on the beers tonight!

[+Gringo]

Can't see us winning this tie...or any other match come to that. 

[FrontRow]

Ok. I think I might have been slightly delusional this afternoon. It was a lovely sunny day, I’d had a good day at work. Both these things were as good as it got. 
Two penalties and an OG. That’s quite a collection. 
 

Something is going to have to change rapidly. That looks like a dispirited bunch of lads no matter what anyone says  - especially me  

 

[IBM]

What a terrible night for our 164 supporters at the game 

[jed5697]

There's a whiff of something going about

[Robert]

An own goal and two penalties. Have we self destructed?

Oh sorry, am I giving the Manager reasons to tell us it is not as bad as it clearly is?

We’ve had 59% possession so far but only one attempt on goal! Shocking.

Motherwell have only had seven attempts but have four goals.

Hyde on for Devine.

They deserve all the plaudits. Hopefully a few Forum members amongst them who can tell us how bad we’ve been and whether there is any scope for optimism. 

[Satan]

We shipped 4 against an average championship team, no surprise that a Premier team is finding it so easy.
