I'll take point from that. Motherwell truly are a side going backwards. I don't recall Lewis having to make a save all night. The old adage is true, if you don't shot you don't score. Dreadful performance, though there has been much worse this season.  No entertainment value at all. Just glad that I didn't have to go to Fir Park on a cold December night to watch it.

Excruciating defeat.  I can't see where the next win is coming from unfortunately.

I would be more than happy to be shocked by us turning up tonight and pumping Aberdeen though.

Excruciating viewing it was, but at least we weren't on the end of a defeat.

Wasn’t a terrible performance, especially considering our recent run. Neither team really carved out a chance outside of mains header in the first half, and while Aberdeen looked the better team in attack, we defended pretty well.

Crawford really doesn’t offer anything that warrants blocking any other player in our squad. Polworth has been piss poor on set pieces for a while, and had his worst performance in that respect tonight. He does know how to win a free kick though, and saved us with an excellent piece of defending when Aberdeen broke away in the second half, maybe that’s the sort of thing pie sports like. 

Grimshaw handled left back fine again, and almost got in the end of a chance when Cole played the ball across. I’d like to see how Cole plays in a front two.

It’s fitting that Lang might leave halfway through the season considering he can’t finish a game. All I ask is his replacement has a first touch.

I didn’t see much to fill me with optimism, but I thought we were going to get hammered, so I’ll take the point.

Having skipped the last two games, I quite enjoyed that tonight and happy to take a point against a decent Aberdeen side. Pleasing to see us look switched on defensively for a change. 

For me the defending is far too late in the opposition build up. Too much of the pitch is surrendered and there is no pressure on the ball preventing crosses or some quick passing around the edge of our box. Almost inevitably this leads to having to make last ditch blocks or tackles. I'd much rather defend from the front.

So no defeat as predicted by many, a point gained on most of the teams below us, a clean sheet for a change, not a bad night then, onwards and upwards.

I hope that you are right, but I didn't see anything tonight to suggest that this team will be going upwards.
