Not sure if you class me as one of the folk you’re talking to but given the five games were Rangers(H), StM(A),Hearts(A), Kilmarnock(H) & Dundee(A), then probably not in previous seasons but given the percentage of possession we’ve had in the games and the nature of draws where we’ve failed to add another goal or even hold on from a winning position, then yes I am concerned at - what I perceive to be - the amount of points we’ve dropped. Having said that I’m not panicking, more frustrated.

Genuine question for those who seem the most concerned about 5 draws. Assuming our points were same after 5 games would you prefer that it had been based on 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses? Eg not inconceivable that games played out differently and we lost to Rangers and Killie (were down in both games) beat Hearts drew StM and Dundee

You're right. If we had no end product we wouldn't be scoring at all

I think we could draw too

Quite true, but the context of my comment was in response to a post stating that we have no end product. That just isn't correct. The end product may not be as good as it should be, but it isn't terrible. It is the loss of 7 (a number of which have been very avoidable) that you point out that is causing the issue.

Agree. We are unbeaten though. I like your positivity. I actually think we could beat Celtic as they pretty toothless up front. Or draw.

We won't draw every game of the season. There's a January transfer window for a start and players that will be returning from injury

If we draw every game of the season. Is it enough to stay up.

Not a happy clapper but can I just point out we have yet to lose a competitive game this season. Yes some frustrating results but jeez give me this style ahead of the dross we were served under previous managers. I really like JBA and I am sure we will progress under him.

We could have been top of the league tbh. All 5 games were winnable

Just been drinking in some of these mental comments 🤣 things are fine, I don’t get the whole worked up-ness about playing entertaining football. Well come good.

So you’ve been drinking after the game! 😂 just kidding. I hope your right!!

We are also not alone throwing away points. Dundee Utd giving up 1-3 lead at Hibs to end 3-3 the teams are really really close this season

MJC hacked your account? 🤣

Jesus we have some amount of bed sh1tters in our fan base. We are 5 games into a season with a new manager, playing the best football Ive seen Motherwell play in 50yrs. We are sitting 6th but I think everyone knows with a little bit of fortune we would be sitting 3rd. I think folk should take a chill pill and calm down. Our manager also talks sense and it’s never word soup and I have every faith we’ll be in a Hampden semi final by this time next week.

Is Sparrow still injured. Club said he would miss the next two games at end of August? I think he's an important player for us when he's on his game. Hopefully he'll be back next week

I thought Watt and Fadinger were both good, although probably more so in the first half. Went for Longelo though as he is the one that continually provides an attacking threat in the final third. Albeit his final product today wasnt his best. Said continues to frustrate. He looks amazing right up to the penalty box then for some reason loses all composure!

Bit of a rinse and repeat today. Very good first half. Dundee barely laid a glove on us and we throughly deserved to be in front at the break. But much like previous weeks we are not transmitting our dominance of the ball into clear cut chances and goals. We get into very good positions and fail to play the killer pass or get a shot away. No one player is to blame, its a a collective failing. I thought we lost a bit of impetus after they scored, what was a really soft goal from a cross ball, and although we recovered it a bit with the substitutions, it was the same mistakes with different personnel. We need to find a way to fix this, as it is fast becoming a self fulfilling prophecy. Thankfully Aberdeen seem to be struggling and there has to be a winner next week, but you wouldnt be surprised if it went to penalties......

Your quite right to point that out.P ositive post.We're not the worst and there is positives. We are unbeaten of course.

Theres four other teams at the moment who have only won one game. The only teams who are performing right now are Celtic and Hearts. *quite aware it's not good enough before I get called a JBA apologist *

I'm worried about every team as we not beat anyone yet. 🤨🙂

I wouldn't worry about rangers, think hibs are more of a worry

Yeah i think thats the general feeling we are all frustrated but that shall be moving to the getting pissed off pretty sharply if we dont come up with the answer why.We would be sitting near the top of the table right now if it wasnt for this lack of holding it together only so much its a new manager and alot of new players before its case of why cant they sort out the same mistakes? Putting faith in AP sadly wont give us what we need to the point i be looking at free agents in the hope we can find a gem cause AP isnt the answer i wanted it to work i really did but dont think it will.

Except someone has to win

More of the same I suspect.
