Yodo 204 Report post Posted December 7, 2019 1 hour ago, Ya Bezzer! said: Probably didn't deserve the three points today in all honesty. Fair play to Long for a good finish that has decided the match. Overall though a pretty poor quality match with very few chances created for either team. Don't want to be too critical given our league position but we've had an easy run of fixtures and I'm not convinced at all by our central midfield three. For me it's substantially poorer than last season's and against better quality opponents, such as next week's visitors, I'd be a little concerned. Our ball retention isn't good enough at the moment. We've been a little bit like we were at times under McCall, not playing particularly well but picking up points and wins. On the upside I thought Mugabi had another decent game, Carroll is very consistent and Hylton was excellent in periods but we are going to have to improve a lot against Rangers or it might be a long afternoon. Well said glad I didn't post that though might have upset a few on here 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Welldaft Mk1 602 Report post Posted December 7, 2019 You got to laugh at us Motherwell fans...... I was at the game today and don’t disagree with many of the comments but come on tae f*ck. Only our support could take 3 wins in a row, 3 clean sheets and 8 goals scored and turn it into... - we were not that good - we did not deserve the 3 points - Scott is overrated We are 3rd top and not 3rd bottom you miserable so and so’s 6 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The African 488 Report post Posted December 7, 2019 As a Motherwell fan of a certain vintage, any win against Hearts is a good win. Nine ponts in a week when our squad is weakened by illness. This week could prove to be the defining point of our season. There will be ups and downs before the split, but we can all see that this squad is capable of playing better. Given the standard of our league, I'd say that top six is now our goal, not trying to avoid the drop. The stability that another season in the top division offers a club with our business model cannot be overestimated. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

real dosser 112 Report post Posted December 7, 2019 Agree about Berra. At 0-0 he was taking as long as he possibly could at every throw-in, stealing yards every time and then it was a foul throw every time. Is there still a rule about foul throws? as I can't remember the last time I saw one given. Even after he was booked he was fouling at every tackle and arguing with the ref. McLean is exactly the same, falling down for free kicks every time a player went near him. I thought we would miss that as Naismith wasn't playing. As for big Uchi what can you say a complete waste of a HUGE jersey COYW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orinoco 148 Report post Posted December 7, 2019 That offside decision was a complete joke. Three players played campbell on. I wonder if we will get an appology from the official. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for big Uchi what can you say a complete waste of a HUGE jersey COYW Thought it was just me seeing Berra doing foul shies and yard-stealing. I was assured by the intelligentsia around me in the POD that foul shies are cool, like squinty throw-ins at scrums. As for Steve MacLean, he's always been a diver and whiner and suits Hearts perfectly. The atrocious offside decision today could have cost us dear on another day. Three wins in eight days is excellent and we can rest and get ready for The Hens next Sunday. No reason we can't go one better than The Mutton Molesters.

texanwellfan 606 Report post Posted December 7, 2019 We are in a terrific position. We still haven’t really fired on all cylinders yet and there we sit in 3rd place!! Hopefully next week is when all the players decide to have their best game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
