That’s it, I refuse to go to another away ground the rest of this season!

I was very wary at the start of the season but holy moly, organised, drilled, committed, fit, game management, threat and a bit of gallus (Van Veen), Tony Watt has finally found a club that fits and is loved. Added with a top class goalie and 2 CH who read the game and defend for their life's, Ojala will be a 7/10 minimum every week, I have not seen him sprint yet as he reads the game so well and is a massive upgrade on Gallagher. Long may it continue and let's not get hung up with possession stats as Jose in his Chelsea glory days didn't. Three massive games coming up which we will be quietly confident about. What a difference three results make, onwards and upwards.

Absolutely. You surely cannot deny a fan the opportunity to watch their team away from home. Maybe the authorities will step in and sort it all out

As previous posters have stated, who the feck gives a feck about these cunts saying no visiting fans, the best thing that could happen in front of the adoring biggits is if the mighty Well pump their arses n send their season into a tail spin! COYW!!! Pump these arses!

I'm totally shocked.......surely not. Would I be unfairly cynical to think that they would normally expect say 500 of our fans at this fixture but will now allow say 1,000 extra home fans? They're at it and everyone knows it.

Yes. Get the best of both worlds by not contributing a penny to support their monthly losses and then take money off them at Fir Park.

Let's get another interest free loan off of the Scottish government and ban both arse cheeks from Fir Park. Hopefully this backfires like the glorious play off night.

It’s a truly horrible place, I would not be interested in giving them my hard earned cash.

I wouldn't be getting bent out of shape with their decision...anybody that wants to go there needs their napper read

Apologies. Birthday weekend

Id prefer Lagartha! Just as effective but a little easier on the eye!

Hibs and Hearts fail to win and we beat Rangers Sunday and go top, you heard it here first.

I went for McGinley when I heard he was playing left back it gave me genuine fear of a drubbing after seeing him pre season and first couple of games tbf he never put a foot wrong and I ate my words happily

I’m going to say Goss comes in for Grimshaw however I think we still need another midfielder, the Irish lad being talked about may be it. I can see Roberts nailing down a place if he’s anything like he was in his short spell with us last season. O’Donnell is our first choice right back and I don’t see that changing, Mugabi is really just filling in. I think McGinley is a real challenge for Carroll who needs to settle down at times but does offer plenty of offensive attributes. For me the defence is now more than strong enough and only going to get better as the two Scandinavians get used to playing together, with choices on the left and right along with Lamie and Mugabi as back up in the centre and one of the best goalkeepers in the league behind them we’re in a good place. Up front we also have options now, hopefully the young lad signed from Queen of the south pushes the others for a place in the starting line up. However Slattery needs support and that’s not happening at the moment, sort that out and we look like a very strong unit.

Couple of posts above saying we should not get carried away and that on another day Aberdeen would or could have won. As far as I can see everyone including myself is enjoying the moment and a great win. Also a recognition that maybe we have got our transfer business right this time around. The two new centre backs were very impressive yesterday. One game I know but I don’t think anyone had the right to expect Sondre in his first game to be so assured. Van Veen is going to be some watch this season. He does not give a f*ck. Ane we need that attitude v the better teams. Yes he will come unstuck and a red card is probably just around the corner. But he has been a breath of fresh air. My final point and main one is who did not expect Aberdeen to have the majority of possession and play some decent football ? Their wage budget must have increased massively this season. Normally it is double our budget at least. Scott Brown was on £25k per week at Celtic. You would imagine he is now on around £8-£10k per week. Fantasy wages for a team like Motherwell. So I was not surprised at the possession stats. What did surprise my was how well we defended and generally looked comfortable after going 2-0 up. A great day and a great win. Harder tests lie ahead but it has been a promising start to our league campaign.

Sondre and Ojala looked excellent yesterday. Proper centre halves that love to defend their box, but can play a bit too. Loved how Sondre was always playing with his head up looking around for where the danger was. I think we have upgraded massively in that area. Slattery continues to impress in midfield. A very tidy player in the Gorrin mould. Hopefully with fewer rash tackles. We still need someone in there to help him though. Whether Goss will be that guy or we need to play an extra midfielder in there to stop us getting overun, Im not sure. KVV is going to be a big player if we can keep him fit. He looks like he and Watt are starting to form a real understanding. Woolery looked a little better yesterday but for all his raw pace and power he still looks like the one with the most convincing to do. Hopefully he will settle and come good soon. Overall. Reasons to be cheerful.
