Just kept going throughout whole game so perhaps a bit unfair to vote for Said but he made a huge impact when he came on. Likewise Sparrow for the nullified JK. Mentions, as now seems always, to McGinn and Welsh 👏

Still buzzing after today’s result. Ok the performance maybe wasn’t as good as some games but having watched FB/insta clips from media team it reinforces JBA comments about not getting frustrated - its obvious that players are totally bought into his system and approach and got the rewards for perseverance. In summary, it’s just a great time to be a Well fan

Didn’t realise he was at Killie. I know he wasn’t everyone’s favourite but I genuinely think he had some good moments as Well player. In the sliding doors/alternate universe which is JBA I reckon DT could flourish

Utd’s problem isn’t really scoring, it’s their defence. I think we’ll do well to keep our run of clean sheets continuing so at least a couple of goals will be needed for the win. I’d settle for draw at moment. prior to StM they had apparently never gone 6games without a win under Goodwin. May it be unlucky number 7 for him.

I noticed on BBC preview of game it has, in addition to usual list of long term injuries, Jordan McGhee out with thigh injury. Couldn’t remember, is this a long term injury and has he has ever been fit for selection under JBA?

I happen to agree with this but on other hand I have no issue with some people coming on a fans forum and having a vent at manager / players etc. I had rest of family with me yesterday all really up for game and it was a crushing disappointment. im sure the players will feel the pain but unlikely to be anywhere near what we all do. best way they can make it right is winning against Aberdeen and Killie and I’m sure many, if not most, will be up for the Hibs game under lights.

I agree but will some people start looking enviously at Dundee third in table and their ‘dinosaur’ manager.

The difference here is that those two were against teams counting to try and actively score more. Martindale will quite happily have his team sit back as much as required to let us give them another chance. I don’t think either AP or Hendry are good enough to spearhead the system. Might be worth trying them together (ideally) before the game is totally gone

Genuine question for those who seem the most concerned about 5 draws. Assuming our points were same after 5 games would you prefer that it had been based on 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses? Eg not inconceivable that games played out differently and we lost to Rangers and Killie (were down in both games) beat Hearts drew StM and Dundee

Likewise as a fan but fortunately JBA hasn’t shown any sign of that type of thinking and seems to be instilling that belief in the players. I think all of them will want to ‘make amends’ for not winning at Hearts - not just one player. oh and I doubt they’ll give a flying f about Kettlewell.

Pretty sure Bruno Fernandez joined Udinese when he was 18 and has done alright with career moves. Seems like a decent squadra for Lennon to develop at without immediate pressure of some of the bigger Italian clubs.

As others have said I reckon we’ll have some joy against teams who don’t just sit in but that also means they are more likely to be those who take advantage of our higher risk approach. Heart says 5th with far more good results and ‘nearly’ draws. Head says 8th with some real highs along the way but ultimately stifled by the SPL drudgery and frustrating losses.

Where in Italy are you calling from? 😉

Stenny only had three subs last night -2 trialists and a goalie. They may have some more signings for Saturday but it must be a game for our strikers to get their accounts up and running.

Interesting how Watt’s performance has split opinion. I wonder what the his expected role is. I can see him more in a deeper role initiating the play with Slatts and Faddy expected to be more dynamic in their movement. Tonight it didn’t quite click between them.
