It’s not a must-win game, but it’s definitely one we should be looking to win comfortably. 0-2 to the ‘Well.

Great performances from McGinn, Watt and Fadinger but it has to be Welsh for me.

Stoke would be a big upgrade from Falkirk.

Agree that that it will be a very difficult game. Falkirk are a decent side whose style isn't bad although a tad overhyped. Their most impressive quality right now is the good luck that they're carrying. This season they've received at least one game changing 50/50 decision in their favour in most games. Right now, a draw would be a great result for us.

Yep completely agree. It's been a huge bugbear of mine over the last 10/15 years was our almost stagnant home support hovering around 4000/4500. I used to despair seeing other clubs getting real improvements yet ours went nowhere. So the turnaround this season is really pleasing. The average home attendance right now sits at 8032. It's been a, long long time since we experienced these kind of figures especially when there's only one home OF game included in them. I realise there's an element of bigger away supports in those figues (Falkirk 1700) but we are maintaining around 5500 / 6000 a game and when football ain't cheap it shows if you entertain people they respond. Maybe we are starting to exorcise the memory of the utter dross under Alexander, Hammel and Kettlewell from the memories of the occasional attendees. Our average will take a hit for next two home games and it being a lead up to Christmas. However long may this improvement continue it just makes the match day experience so much better.

What's the parking like here?

This will be a really difficult game, probably the most difficult in this current run of games. Falkirk are a decent side that play good football. Fair play to McGlynn who seems to want to play the JBA way too. its also on the plastic as well so I’d be happy with a draw here and then a win against livi on Saturday.

Is that the Scottish version of a cold, rainy Wednesday night in Stoke? 😁

Payback time!! Let’s get all 3’points and a few goals.

How many will turn up on a Wednesday night in winter at Falkirk? Keep warm and COYW

Dont know if it was mentioned further back. But absolutely fabulous attendence today. Well done to the 4600 Hearts fans in attendance. But to have over 6300 Motherwell fans there today is pleasing to see. More power to Jens elbow!

St Mirren having parallels with us last year, falling off a cliff after the LC Semi. Was mentioned on P&B, but at times today (first half) we were putting in the kind of performance Celtic/Rangers routinely do to us at Fir Park.

Dhalsim

Thought Just had a really good game and had he finished that chance he would have been my pick. However, Stephen Welsh was absolutely outstanding. Both defensively and bringing it out from the back. We really need to try and get him on a PCA in January.

Thoroughly enjoyed that today. Dominated the first half without really creating a lot. Havent seen the disallowed goal again yet, so cant comment if it was fair enough or not. However, Ward was barely troubled. Second half McInnes changed it up and got their press working more effectively and stopped us playing. Still rarely troubled us, but we were getting worryingly deep before Jens made his changes and we wrestled back control. Finished the game strongly and created 3 really good chances. Just really should score and their keeper makes 2 excellent saves from Slattery and Fadinger. Could have won it. Really good performance. We need to maintain these levels going into the next run of games and more points should come.

Someone shouted something to his family , we have previous for it.

I remember a nil nil against Aberdeen at Fir Park, very early in Roger Hynd's short tenure, so that would have been 1977/78 season. Bobby Clark pulled of a great save to deny the late Peter Miller. This would have been well after Martin Buchan had left the Dons so possibly not the match you recall, but it was exceptional game considering it ended goalless.

Away tie against some weird and wonderful opposition we havent played before. Or any home tie against anyone else.

Dont give a toss, we'r winning the league....... 😁

At home to Number 7, Camelon Juniors would be a good start

A really impressive 0–0 performance where we were unlucky not to take all three points. I honestly can’t remember being that nervous and entertained by a scoreless draw.

Welsh outstanding

For a 0-0 draw I enjoyed that game, can't believe Stephen Thomson and Steven Naismith thought it was a dull game. Hearts were on the front foot for 25 mins in the second half and other than Henry's overhead kick clearance we were never in bother. Welsh was absolutely immense and McGinn not far behind. I felt Slatterys was falling into his old bad habit of playing for fouls. He's better when he's concentrates his efforts into the creative part of his game.However I do temper that with how physical Hearts were. Just was outstanding all over the park with the exception of his final ball. Similarly Said has some great skills but his final ball is also poor. That said those are small criticisms I thought we were a good watch again and would have merited the 3 points. Also a terrific turn out by the Motherwell fans and by the reaction at the end I think most enjoyed it. Fir Park has a really good vibe with these bigger crowds lately.

Somebody mentioned he was reporting someone in the main stand to security but don’t know why.
