5th doesn't guarantee Europe. It requires a Celtic Cup win.

We’ve been garbage for the past four games and shat the bed in both cups, so I can’t see us bucking that trend against the league leaders away from home. 1-4.

Nonsense we are finishing no lower than 5th, 8 in front of Falkirk, they are not going to win 3 games more than us, they play Rangers next week then its the top 6 teams. We are on a poor run last 4 games but we will get over the line in 4th. Today we gifted Falkirk a goal, and both Sparrow and Maswhanise should have scored so it was not as bad as it looks. 4th place is still ours to lose, lets see how we deal with it

Compare and contrast, every time Falkirk got to the edge of or 18 yard box there were either 3 or 4 Falkirk players in and around the box. Every time we did likewise we had Manwanhise in the box and every other Motherwell player a mile behind him.

I think the lads have ran out of steam . For those as old as me it reminds me of when you used up too much energy too soon on Daley Thomson’s decathlon game on Commodore 64. until March we’d played with a certain tempo and can’t help but think we’re spent . Squad depth has been depleted through injury . all teams go through bad spells and like @Ya Bezzer! mentions it’s been downhill since the stmirren game . March was pretty poor and today was dross . it may need us to play a few more of the guys who have been in the fringes and change formation to try an kick on and get a few results

To many short passes with one upfront is poor. These last 4 games now prove we have been sussed by the opposition. The manager is not using a plan b ,whatever it may be . Going forward today then passing it back gives organised teams time to get back behind the ball. It only takes a backward pass and then a sideways one for opposition to get back into place to stop us going forward. Priestman should have been on earlier. TJ is shite up front on his own when we don't play long balls to him. Shocking from Ward for their second no other way to describe that .

Ill make another we wont get into Europe. Absolutely collapsing at the wrong time. How many warnings did we get with the ball from keeper to Ward before we finally gave them what had been coming all first half. How the fuck Said stayed on is beyond me , he was beyond pish but to be fair there were many to choose from. Falkirk took the absolute piss out of us and deserved everything they got. Maswanhise couldn't trap a bag of cement, another Theo Bair. Take the money and run in the summer. . (I had left before he scored but doesn't change my view) A season of stunning football and we will end up with fuck all to show for it. I go to Tynecastle in real trepidation. To think 6 weeks ago I was worried about going on holiday and missing the last two games and the Scottish Cup final. Be quite glad I'm away the way its going right now. European place is advantage Hibs as we need to go there and frankly its now not beyond the realms of possibility Falkirk could catch us with us going there too.

Deservedly pumped. The goals we conceded today were all absolutely pathetic. Falkirk just looked faster and sharper than us. Not at the races these days and if you exclude the win away to St. Mirren we really haven't been since the Scottish Cup defeat. Given our remaining fixtures, not been good away from home or against Top 6, you'd have to worry about getting that European place which even a couple of weeks ago I'd have been extremely confident about. It'd be a shame if we ended the season on a damp squib but that's how it's looking. Up to the manager and players to rally but they've lost the confidence they had and there is no x factor there right now.

A wee bit disrespectful imo. Falkirk won today but still behind us in league. I agree we look a bit lightweight but injuries and suspension to our best players has cost us. The slattery situation and jens saying about sfa has put a target on our back. That penalty today was a nothing thing in the box. We have been good all year and need everyone back for run in to secure Europe. All the moaning tonight so far is disappointing as we are down to bare bones and having to play accordingly

I thought we looked better when wee Oscar came on. Disappointing game but one I was sort of half expecting to lose.

Pretty poor until about 15 mins to go. Playing from the back is fine, but shouldn't try it when no pass is on and playing it across our 6 yd box. Maswanhise and Just both should probably have scored. Was looking for a DOGSO check for the foul on Sparrow as he would have been in on goal

Not surprised in the least when it mattered in the cup ties against St Mirren and Aberdeen we didn't turn up and now at the business end of the season we're posted missing. One points from 12 in the last 4 league games.

Will this game be any different? Where will our goals come from? The MJC Prediction be correct for this game ? COYW!

On current form there'll be no interest in our manager or our star players, so with a proper striker and another left back, we can look forward to an even better season next year.

I'm never surprised to lose a match, but that was a strangely poor performance. We always seem drop a level after an extended break.

So our various ex-Well employees at Ross County had a must-win game at home to bottom-of-the-table Airdrie. Pumped 4-0!

Have we ever played well after an international break? Has Liam Gordon been running our passing drills? Discuss, after you have made your pick

One benefit of this run is we will likely keep Askou. I feel we’ve been very unlucky with a threadbare squad taking injuries in particularly weak areas, not to mention the Slattery nonsense. Really poor run and I don’t honestly see where our next result is going to come from.

Man of the match goes to falkirks big guy in the black. For us, the groundsman for getting pitch better.

Poor,no end product,too many players drop in form,usual gift of a goal to opposition.

To be honest the past 4 games have been a shambles. Askou has no need to worry about his next move. It won't be a big club. No plan B. Too lightweight all over the park. Slow buildup play giving opposition time to get back and organised. Ultimately a season that has produced disappointing performances in big games. Players just don't have it mentally. Every time Falkirk go forward they look as if they can score. We are lucky it's only 3.

Teams have also sussed us out somewhat - stopping us playing through the lines - also we look to have simply ran out of puff

Against hibs,we looked like a team that had ran out of steam and that's even more evident today and considering we've just had a break that's worrying for the rest of the season.

Why are we so bad after International breaks?

Probably for Said.
