  1. He'll be miles off it. Look how bad we were today with a week off. He's not played in 2 months. And you need to give kids a chance to learn and gain experience. Ferrie wasn't any worse than anyone else. Bair was straight through on goal today if he didn't have the first touch of a pregnant hippo.
  2. And 1 clean sheet in 20 league matches and we couldn't score!
  3. Yep, seen that movie a few times! Will sum up the match in one sentence "Just never looked like scoring" and that's against an Aberdeen team that's hardly kept a clean sheet this season. Hardly took a touch in the first 6 or 7 minutes of the match and that basically set the tone for the match. We need to start on the front foot. The only time I can remember us actually doing that was against Livingston when we had a good win. We weren't abysmal bad today but it was all a bit tepid and at home we should be setting the tempo, not sitting off teams. We've seen it so many times this season and you know what, if you do that you don't win.
  4. Hopefully we can put a demoralised Aberdeen to the sword but I seem to remember a few times when Aberdeen were absolutely gash and then they come to Fir Park and pump us!
  5. Aberdeen have 1 clean sheet in their last 20 league matches. So we better see a goal at least!
  6. Fantastic result. Just wanted to point out that Lennon Miller has played in 6 out of our 7 wins despite being out for a long spell. Coincidence? Don't think so.
  7. Aberdeen have literally spent millions of pounds and have 6 wins this season. We have the 5th best record in the league in terms of loses. In fact we've only lost once against anyone outside the Top 3 in the last 18 matches. But you keep dismissing draws that we've got away from home against teams like Celtic, Aberdeen and Hibs. as if these results don't count or are an actual negative. We have 11 defeats in 28 currently. The last time we finished 3rd we had 12 defeats in 30. In terms of defeats we have not been excessivily losing - we usually lose around 16-17 matches a season.
  8. One of those one's were pretty much everyone was good in the first half and then it dropped off second half. Spittal scored a great goal. Mugabi was excellent then made a mistake and looked a bit shaky after that. Miller did some good stuff but was also sloppy at times. Bair caused Celtic a lot of problems first half but was puffed out in the second half. Vale looked like he has tidy feet but perhaps his shooting let him down. Difficult to pick out one guy but I'm going to go for Adam Devine, made some good defensive blocks, got forward too and I just like the look of him over the last couple of matches.
  9. Rangers and Celtic are much better than us. Hence we don't beat them much. It's why no one else has won the league since 1985 and the entire history of Scottish football has been dominated by them. However I do remember some like pumping Rangers in the playoff 6-1 or the semi final win with Moult's wonder goal or a bunch of draws in recent times at Fir Park, Celtic Park and Ibrox or the semi final win on the way to the '91 win or Tommy Coyne scoring a header in a gale in the Scottish Cup or a bunch of other times. Maybe you should remember some of the good times as well. And of all the posters here I don't think I'm one that can be accused of being a happy clapper. I just think Motherwell fans should be fair, have realistic views and maybe have the self awareness of recognising where we are in the game. Putting in a good effort against a team with x 25 our resources and losing out narrowly ain't the worst thing in the world.
  10. Every Celtic player is better than our equivalent. To compete in the game we have to make up with that with sheer workrate - which we did. This however leaves you vulnerable in the latter stages of the game when stamina and mental fatigue become factors. That's what happened today, it's what's happened many times in the past. If it was mentality we wouldn't be holding out to 94th or 97th minute or indeed getting a late draw at Celtic Park earlier in the season. People just need to get a grip. Obviously it's gutting to lose like this but we don't need the finger pointing and vitriol. How about maybe, just maybe, giving the team a slap on the back for competing against a team who's wages bill for their subs today is more than our entire club budget.
  11. I don't necessarily disagree with the tactical element of what you say but it also seems like a big slice of what-might-have-been. We were under almost constant siege for the second half, certainly the last half an hour, most of our players were done after the 70th minute. It's a big, big, downer to lose the match like we did but like I said giving Celtic basically 45 minutes to score a winner was a bigger issue because after that happened we were always going to get deeper, more tired, less concentrated and I'm not sure different personnel or set up would have made that much difference. Not the first time this has happened, we are probably all veterans of it, hence my belief that Celtic having the ball in our half for pretty much the whole half had more to do with it than individual players or set up. Also let's not forget that Maeda missed probably the sitter of the season before any of this happened.
  12. I'd be happier with 3 or 4. Most weeks we are competing against teams with bigger budgets, in some cases much bigger budgets, but I think the general effort and application is OK. BTW, Aberdeen have 1 win in 9. Hibs have 1 win in 9. Livingston have 1 win in 19. Ross County have 1 win in 11. St. Johnstone have 1 win in 10. Know why? Cos there is so many draws in this league.
  13. We've not lost to anyone outside the the Top 3 since early December. Too many draws but let's not make out like we are losing every week cos we aren't and the players are clearly trying.
  14. Another sickener but the players gave everything.. The truth is we should have gone in at half time more than 1-0 up. 2-0 would have made it a lot more difficult for Celtic and would probably have been deserved. 2nd half we came out and sat too deep and Celtic scoring in 50 minutes was always going to make it hard for us. Players gave an enormous amount of effort but we tired and had no out ball for probably the last twenty minutes and there was a sort of inevitability when Celtic scored. A lot of mumbling about the substitutes but they had to be made, we were out on our feet. Hopefully we don't suffer a collapse of moral like we did last time this happened.
  15. I think it's always worth remembering that Steelmen Online represents a fraction of the Motherwell support. There are, what, 150 regular posters? Is it even as many as that? Even if it was 400 or 500 it would still be a single digit percentage of the overall support.
