Six games without conceding a goal equals 540 minutes, the last goal was at Rugby park just after half time, if you add in all the additional time it must be 10 hours since Ward was beaten yet he hardly raises a blip in these polls. Given that we seem to have a rolling line up in front of him, I think we can safely say that JBA has a bit of an idea what he is doing.

I never knew that both John Ruddy and Mark Gillespie were at Newcastle. Knew Gillespie was but noticed Ruddy was on the bench against Chelsea. We really have been blessed with some great goalies over the years (also some horrors)

Any word on why no Gordon today? Perhaps complete rest since, I assume, he will be playing against Celtic?

I think he was fairly rubbish but he was a trier and I don't get why he's got stick when playing against us.

Agree totally, never rated him

I hope we do them again 👍 For the C&A ladies and gents going take care and enjoy the win.

Correct, i had the same opinion of him,and we still have some players on the books currently that could also be described in the same terms.

Sorry, but have to disagree with this, mainly because of Thompsons apparent inability to find another Motherwell player with a pass. He ran about a lot, and looked like a football player, but that was about it.

Just kept going throughout whole game so perhaps a bit unfair to vote for Said but he made a huge impact when he came on. Likewise Sparrow for the nullified JK. Mentions, as now seems always, to McGinn and Welsh 👏

Still buzzing after today’s result. Ok the performance maybe wasn’t as good as some games but having watched FB/insta clips from media team it reinforces JBA comments about not getting frustrated - its obvious that players are totally bought into his system and approach and got the rewards for perseverance. In summary, it’s just a great time to be a Well fan

Didn’t realise he was at Killie. I know he wasn’t everyone’s favourite but I genuinely think he had some good moments as Well player. In the sliding doors/alternate universe which is JBA I reckon DT could flourish

Game....set.......and match 🤣🤣

I am finding it ironic in the extreme to hear of Ian McCall, of all people, complaining of anyone being "disrespectful" in any context whatsoever. I just ask myself how respectful was he being when he shat in Simon Stainrod's shoe?

Elijah Just for me due to the power of work he got through - if only he had a bit of conviction with his shooting. I do love Welsh and believe that he should be in the conversation for the World Cup.

Though to be honest on some nights oot Mrs Grizzly says the same 🤣🤣

Celtic already have 3 left footed center backs. Its in their interest he stays with us to try and get points off Hearts and Rangers.

Exactly, grizzlyg says......'ignore the prick'

A very frustrating game that ultimately turned into a satisfying 3 points. As many have said, our passing was very poor in the first quarter of the game, as was some of the ball control. The introduction of Said and Sparrow injected a bit of pace and directness into our game leading to more openings and penning Dundee back for the majority of the 2nd half. The goal did feel like it was coming, and I'm very glad that it did. Ultimately, another deserved 3 points. A nice league position that sets up the next few games against Rangers and Celtic. Can we take 6 points. It'll be a very interesting 2nd half of the season if we do. COYW

The gaffer

Thought the entire team were off it for the first 20 minutes with Watt and Slattery the most wasteful with the ball. Over the 90 minutes I thought Welsh, Fadinger and Just were our best players with an honourable mention for Said. Went for Just for his workrate and the fact he never stops trying to create. His run to get to the byline, tackling their defender and coming up with the ball to cross it into the middle was fantastic and typified his performance. Top class footballer.

Not really a former player, but Olly Whyte scored the winner for Stenhousemuir today.

We were uncharacteristically untidy with the ball for the first 15 to 20 minutes today. Dont know if it was Dundee's press, the bumpier than usual surface, the sun in our eyes, or a mixture of all three, but we coughed it up cheaply way more than usual with Watt and Slattery being the main culprits. Fortunately Dundee did little with it and we were able to win it back quickly for the most part. After that, I thought the game settled down into our usual pattern and although we didnt create lots of chances we should still have gone in ahead. Hendry's chance was probably the best and having created it for himself he really should have put it away. Second half was one way traffic. A mixture of bad luck and bad finishing delayed our eventual winner. Not our best performance, but still comfortably the better team. We really should have seen it out more comfortably than we did by keeping the ball instead of bootingnit away repeatedly, however, we got their in the end. We are now in a really good position and can have a real go at Rangers and Celtic in the next 2 games without anything to lose or fear. 2 positive results could turn a good season into the prospect of a great one.

Stephen Welsh is the best defender we've had at the club for ages. And he had a bandage round his head like an olden days centre back. MotM/
