Mark Gillespie Motherwell Goalkeeper

[Jan Žižka]

English lad, 6 foot 1. 183 games for Carlisle and Walsall before signing for Well in 2018.

On the back of another fine attacking performance from us and good chances created. we could have had 5 or 6 goals today.

The chances we didn't take were down to a keeper agile enough and competent enough diving to both sides.

He really impressed me today. 2 saves from Alfie in particular.

If Wes does move on in, this fella is a year younger and probably only a year left on his deal at most after this season.

One of the best keepers I've seen against us this season, wouldn't be averse to him as back up to McGregor should Wes move on.

He's played 43 games for M/well since 2018 and they are fighting for 3rd in our League, form that must be in part down to him.

Anyone else impressed with him today?

 

[Deek]

Never heard of him before today but had a good game in fairness

 

[Alan Johnson]

He had a great game today.

 

[Ross_]

He is a decent goal keeper no doubt - motherwell seem to always to ok with keepers Randolph / Carson etc

 

[Big Buff]

He’s a good keeper. Up there with Hladky as the best of the rest

 

[Davieblue1977]

He did very well today

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Lot of good saves today yep and I only realised that was a save from Barisic free kick with replays .

 

[TQ3]

His save from Borna was top drawer. I didn’t even think he had got near it, but the replay showed he tipped on to the post. Outstanding stop.

 

[PortoyMortoy]

He had a good game today but he's a pish keeper often enough. No thank you to ever signing him

 

[Jan Žižka]

He’s a good keeper. Up there with Hladky as the best of the rest

I would go for Gillespie, more presence and agility going both sides.

St Mirren guy said something about us negatively also I think, fu(k him.

 

[Blue Max]

He had a good game today. I would rather promote McCrorie though and have him replace Shagger in a couple of years.

If Wes leaves in January, McCrorie is better served playing at QOS and hopefully a SPFL team next season, maybe M/well if they do us decent terms for Gillespie.

 

[GovanFront4]

Made some good saves but he had a howler at a couple of crosses too.

 

[Boab4]

Other than the Barisic free kick, the rest were hit straight at him.

To be honest mate, after the way Motherwell have behaved towards us in recent times, I wouldn't want to give them anything, but you're right, it would be better for the players development to play regular first team football.

 

[Chris01]

Good Keeper.

I also thought their previous keeper was very good. But I can’t remember his name!

 

[Jan Žižka]

Other than the Barisic free kick, the rest were hit straight at him.

No they weren't.

Watch again.

 

[Boab4]

No they weren't.

Watch again.

It just showed a few of them again on sky, you'd expect any keeper to save them.

 

[I believe in Eli]

Had a good game but you dont go signing people off the back of one performance.

 

[Jan Žižka]

It just showed a few of them again on sky, you'd expect any keeper to save them.

Will we agree we disagree?

Who would you have as cover Boab?

 

[Clubdeckg]

Kept them in the game today

 

[Topps]

A few decent saves but most of them were saves you would expect a goalie to make. His best save was from barisic free kick at the end imo.

 

[Boab4]

Will we agree we disagree?

Who would you have as cover Boab?

I think the St boo keeper looks better.

 

[Jan Žižka]

I think the St boo keeper looks better.

He's been mentioned also, 29, 6 foot 2, just signed for St Mirren this season and 1st season in UK from Czechia.

Be interesting to see who we go for if Wes goes.

 

[AdiGaz]

He had a good game aye but youve got to remember everybody we play against gives that extra 50% than they usally do.

 

[Club Deck Pakora]

Many routine saves with the exception of borna’s. Hardly a stand out. Should have done better at the 1st goal.

 

[Michael Mols]

Some save from Bornas free kick.

 

[Hellfire]

Just as a random point...he's doing the same Business Management degree as me just now, seems a decent guy.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Gerrard said they were pretty much routine saves. You'd expect a professional keeper to make the majority of them.

 

[devilman]

He had a very good game today. Doubt he'll have that many more until the next time they play us.

 

[WilldeBoer]

He had a good game today but any time I've seen him against the tims he's been awful. No thanks - not good enough for me.

 

[swany]

They all put in world class performances against us for some reason.

 

[ScouseHairline]

He is a decent goal keeper no doubt - motherwell seem to always to ok with keepers Randolph / Carson etc

John Ruddy as well

 

[Ross_]

John Ruddy as well

Yep forgot about Ruddy but aye they have uncovered a few good keepers

 

[mkgers]

I don't watch Scottish football outwith us so it's hard to comment but on today's showing he looks a good keeper.

 

[supersonic]

Other than the Barisic free kick, the rest were hit straight at him.

incorrect

 

[Barnster Bear]

Could he have made the save from Shagger ?

 

[Jan Žižka]

Could he have made the save from Shagger ?

To reverse the question, would McGregor have saved Borna's free kick?

 

[Barnster Bear]

To reverse the question, would McGregor have saved Borna's free kick?

Not only would he have saved it, the mitre 5 would be broken in tonight.

 

[the nowhere man]

Trevor Carson is the better of the 2 MFC keepers.

We should not be looking at paying money to any of these Rangers hating clubs for players.

 

[TN8]

The save from Borna's free-kick was the only outstanding one for me. Oh and a very good one in the bottom corner from Alfie's snap shot but I wasn't sure if that was going in.

£50.000 to Dundee was good business for Kamara though, agreed?

 

[Aragorn]

He did very well today

Trouble is most of the opposition keepers do the same...always against us.

 

[RTID55]

good keeper i agree would be happy enough if we made an attempt to sign him

 

[eyalluvitt]

I let out a Primal Scream when Alfie left Gillespie in a river of pain.

 

[DJ_RFC_1872]

Played well saved them from a scudding.
