We're not the getting the rub of the green at all from referees just now. Week in, week out these decisions are going against us. By contrast, Falkirk are getting all these decisions in their favour. Hopefully things will even themselves out in time.

How the hell we shelled out a lot of money ( well for us) on Stama is farcical.

After 11 games we have 15 points, so just under 50% of the total available if we keep that average up over 33 games we will claim a top 6 finish.

Just watched the Sportscene highlights, shocking defending for the Aberdeen goal, Koutroumbis caught upfield pressing high but the Aberdeen player was allowed to run in on goal and every Motherwell player backed off, no tackles or blocks and he was allowed to shoot with no intervention. Oh and Ward could have made more of an effort, his positioning was poor. I really hope we can sign another striker in January, Hendry shows promise but Stamatelopoulos is hopeless., still we never lost and its another well earned point.

Welsh and slattery star men shows how much JBA blundered last week with starting line up

Him and another one like him, please.

Typically about 43 or 44, over the last ten years or so it has been as low as 40 and as high as 50.

7 draws = 7 points 🙄

How’s many points do You normally need to make top 6 after 33 games?

17 points out of these......get your wages on it......

Given that my aim each year is a point a game then 15 points by now is a good return. If we can get the forward line working more efficiently then 12 points should easily be attainable. In saying that we are something like 4th or 5th highest scorers.

The gaffer said

The issue with the way we play is we rely a lot on the Fbs decision making which for the last 2 games has been poor. Longelo wants to beat 3/4 players every time he has the ball and Koutrombis can't play through a press because of his body shape when he receives the ball. I don't particularly like SOD but his passing is far better than JK. Watt and Fadinger are both good at recycling the ball but there not playing penatrive passes through the lines often enough for me Slattery was in good pockets multiple times and they turned and played backwards. Ward the less said the better I wanted him dropped after the 1st game of the season and continues to be like a holigram in goal.

Dare I say it, Osong had a couple of decunt bits of hold up play in his limited time, also looks to have shifted some timber.

I thought both Said and Priestmen looked decent when they came on today. That's actually the first time I've seen Priestman where he didn't look like a little lost boy out of his depth. Looked for the ball and tried to carry it forward.

Most important thing today for me after last weekend is we didn't lose . We have a recent habit of starting seasons well then it falls apart in November -January leaving us too much to make top 6

Welsh cruised that today. Couldn't have done anything about the goal. If we can get him on a permanent deal I'd make it a priority.

The seven games to Christmas before back to back games against the arse cheek’s are Killie (A) Hibs (H) Hearts (H) Falkirk (A) Livingston (H) Dun Utd (A) Dundee (H) I’d like to think we can get 12 to 15 points from those fixtures but given that we’ve only managed 15 points in the first 11 games, am I being over optimistic?

Exactly we just lack that bit of urgency when and where it matters and that’s what kills us. With the equaliser today Slattery doesn’t mess about with the corner, it goes in and we get the goal. Bingo!

Exactly, if we start going harem scarem, we might lose possession more

I stand corrected , it's 3, the Hearts game just felt like a defeat 😁

Aberdeen had a couple of short spells but all in all we kept our game Going for 90 mins which is good to see. We’ve had a few games where our game has dropped off second half or after 60 mins or after subs. Thought subs some well when they came on today but more importantly the team performance didnt drop.

No real standouts but probably between Welsh and Slats. Went for Slattery who ran himself into the ground.

Only league defeats are Celtic and Falkirk.
