Motherwell score four against Morton

[sieb1886]

Carson in goals - had nowt to do, so can't really be judged. But I liked his urgency with the long throw outs!
The 3 big lads at the back looked solid, but tbh, there was no reason why they shouldn't have been - Morton offered no opposition at all to them. Chuck Dunne looked good though.
Midfield - skipper's now looking a class act; being fit n healthy, he was a Sgt Major dictating the play and movements of those in his team. I expect good things from him. Cadden was full of running and seems to have reclaimed his Mojo. Bigirama showed some decent stuff, and I'm sure when he's at 100% fitness levels he'll be a great asset.
Attack - Frear don't cut it IMO. Bowman - he needs to be given a decent run now; the guy's giving everything and looks like he's found his feet at last.
Rewind 12 months ... rather be where we are now than where we were then. Nuff said.

Cadden is enjoying his football again because he is being played to his strengths out wide by our manager,not like the previous manager who thought Cadden's was a central midfielder and was also played out of position in defence,the lad's body language shows the difference between last season and this season,he is eager now to get on the ball and expose the opposition's weaknesses.Long may it continue ����

No point in gilding the lily, last season was horrible, no two ways about it.

The football we played was awful to watch with zero entertainment value; we struggled to maintain any sort of consistency and didn't manage to string two wins together until MAY! A truly shocking statistic.

Add to that early Cup exits in both competitions yet again, although in fairness the draw wasn't kind to us, and having that arrogant Chump as manager for most of the campaign who treated the job and the club with contempt and was more interested in arguing with fans than sorting the team out at the end.

His ridiculous petted lipped interview after the Rangers cup defeat in January - after he'd yet again set us up not to lose beforehand - when he acted like a spoilt wee princess and said that he "didn't give a monkeys about the players" was the point in the season where, imo, a bad season turned into an awful one as I believed at the time and still do that the players downed tools after that.

We can only hope for so much better in the season to come.
