I thought I heard people laughing at your jokes in the hunter stand yesterday then I realised it was big thors diving header they were laughing at.

Cheers bud

Think the announcer said 900

Crowd 6738 yesterday What was away support? Definitely still a healthy home support which is great to see

My mates wish I was like that with my jokes 🤣🤣

Not seen too much negativity to be honest. I saw a few comments about kanga but he was actually involved with 3 of our chances and still only 20. Moormann so nervous but a clean sheet hopefully will boost his confidence. I even thought Maswanhise workrate was really good and I have been critical of him. Winning yesterday was great. I could feel nervousness in the stands but once we scored was great seeing fans up singing and also great tifo from the lads. COYW

Whatever AJ thought about yesterday, he's apparently keeping it to himself.

Had Longelos cross for Maswanhise just been that wee bit better, we would have been looking at the goal of the season and as good as anything served up last year. Ive been critical recently, some of the performances haven't been good enough and in particular, some of the goals we have lost have been utter pish...but over the past 2 or 3 games there have been signs of improvement, and with the squad getting bigger (as injuries improve), I think we will be OK.

Agreed. I think there are a few posters that are now invested in the manager must go argument that are not giving the team the credit it is due yesterday. It could have been 4 or 5 with the number of chances created. Motherwell were significantly better than St Mirren which will not sit well with the people arguing pre match that we are favourites for relegation. It was not perfect and the performance did not hit the heights of last season but there is plenty to be optimistic about if you care to look for it.

Im very surprised at the negative comments on yesterdays performance...I honestly, thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought we defended well and that back 4 is probably the best we can muster at present. I thought we dominated the ball for almost the entire 90mins against an absolute gang. I thought we created an absolute barrel-load of chances and opportunities. I think where we let ourselves down yesterday was that we weren't clinical enough in front of goal...if we can get that bit right, someone is going to take an absolute scudding off us.

I dont expect anything from this game. Right now Utd are a better team than us, their midfield is very strong. Id be delighted with a point.

I think Kanga is progressing along fine and will just get better as the season goes on.

It's a good measure of how much they believed in their new approach. They have been on a similar poor run as us, but while Alfred and the coaching staff were very clear we were going to stick to our principles while tightening things up, St Mirren have very quickly reverted to their old style. I was surprised it took 86 minutes for Gogic to get booked.

Looking forward to seeing how we fare against an 11 man Dundee United and finding out if Goodwin really has become a convert to The Church of Jens. If he has, we might be able to get some joy up top. But will we be able to keep the door shut at the back? Could be an interesting game. Would shake hands on a draw right now. But back to back wins would be a pretty nice feeling going into the break.

Maybe Alfred needs to do a Jens and go without a recognised striker? Problem with that is he would have to give up going long, unless it is the ball over the top for Maswanhise to chase.

Vigurs was a talented footballer. His problem was the desire to be one. No hunger, no fight. When the going got tough, he went missing. But then, I guess thats why someone with his ability was with us in the first place and not playing at a higher level.

You raise an interesting point here. As fans we like to see players in their natural position but often that can be at the expense of having the best 11 football players on the pitch. I agree that you would wish ultimately to see the above mentioned players all play. The problem is how does it affect the balance of the team. A good problem to have after the injury woes of the last few months. I was a huge fan of Iain Vigurs when he was at Motherwell and on his day he was the best midfielder we had at the time ( in my opinion) but he sometimes did not complement the balance of the midfield on a particular day with Lasley etc in the team.

Tell me a team in the SPFL thats not shit. That why there is fuck all points difference between 70% of the teams.

A win obviously the aim but a draw wouldn't be too bad unless it was due to conceding another late goal. A win would put us 1pt behind utd. Hopefully yesterday has given lads confidence and would be great to get a positive result before 2 week break. COYW

agree - I do think we need to flex formation and that is something that we did well last year without compromising what we were about. From modified to attack Ideally I'd want to find a way for Fadinger, Priestman Hodge, Said, Lowry to all play - rather than have a front 3 as is that doesn't quite work. Thankfully I think we have some real quality in those 5 so hoping Alfred can figure it out - he seems a smart enough guy to do that.

A much better overall performance and a deserved win. However, let’s not pretend that was anything other than two shite teams, and we only won by a penalty. St Mirren were awful and offered absolutely nothing except cheating and thuggery. And the referee was even worse. Another concern is that MM and JGR don’t appear to communicate with each other at all. It’s a recurring feature across this team. The only time they actually spoke was when they appeared to be arguing as they walked down the tunnel at HT. What is the manager coaching them?!

Article this week asking if Utd have best midfield three in league at moment. Could be an interesting game especially if Oscar fit enough to start but we do seem to have options available to counteract and maybe some of the (more accurate) long balls will suit the game. definitely at least a draw.

Can we do it again? Another three points? Let’s lift up our Tammie’s tae Motherwell fc COYW
