Cmon you are a wee bit angry for nothing here. Whilst our record against Top 6 is at a minus we have played them all home and away and giving them all really good games which is certainly a big change from sitting on our own 18 yard line waiting to get beat. This tippy tappy football that you and some others have mentioned is the same type of football that has played a lot of teams off the park and the same that is played by our European neighbours when pumping our Europe entries every July. No plan b is another myth. We went to 3 at back against hibs. played with a false 9 against celtic and went longer when byorgolfson was available. Yesterday we had no other players available due to injury and suspension as if we did I'm sure maswanhise would have been wide and we would have attempted long balls to give him 1v1 on the left back. On john McGlynn yes he has done a gd job but he has not done as gd a job as jens as can be seen on the table and if you or anyone who suggests falkirk will finish above us in the table wants a bet with the loser paying to Well Society let's get it on. Put your money where your mouth is as the saying goes.

What about crucial games hibs and falkirk have lost when chips are down. Must have been more than us as they are still behind. A lot of crap on here tonight

A wee bit disrespectful imo. Falkirk won today but still behind us in league. I agree we look a bit lightweight but injuries and suspension to our best players has cost us. The slattery situation and jens saying about sfa has put a target on our back. That penalty today was a nothing thing in the box. We have been good all year and need everyone back for run in to secure Europe. All the moaning tonight so far is disappointing as we are down to bare bones and having to play accordingly

I feel with some saying other teams have sussed us out is very premature. What about us sussing other teams out as Hibs who are our nearest challengers were reduced to not able to do very much against us. With 2 weeks to prepare against a falkirk team that have been sussed out i am sure another victory will be provided. We are disappointed because we never got to previous levels but it is very small margins and if offside goal stands a totally different outcome.

A lot of frustration from myself. Yes a lot of what ifs re red cards etc but let's be honest Jens putting in connelly and Gordon for our biggest game of season was not a good move. Our play this season is built on ward and mcginn welsh/sods keeping ball until time is right to move it. By changing 2 of that 3 to players that haven't been in team was strange. Gordon not good enough on ball and connelly untested. If some say when will he get tested then it certainly shouldn't have been in our up to now biggest game of season. All ifs buts and mibbys and I'm sure Jens will realise he made a mistake in selection but there's no way he can say that as it would ruin players confidence. We know he has been great and I'm sure he will learn from it and we will kick on again. Glass certainly half full here

💯

Grizzlyg you are generally glass half full type and I get your concerns. However if for example. Oxborough who is good at crosses we would not have the same control in games as we would have a man less at back to keep the ball. Our game is all about creating an extra man somewhere and ward like all others in team are a part of that. Also he is organising defenders in front of him and very much part of us keeping clean sheets. On game last night I like most thought the subs for us slowed us down but I would argue the point that we were more in control of game than Falkirk. Still haven came away from a game this season thinking the other team were better than us. A centre forward required in January would be my choice.

We had 5100 last night midweek and freezing so if we can get 6000 that's a crowd of nearly 11000

Same as everyone else in being over the moon with last night. Jens going to a 3 at back with in effect a false 9 is what the big teams in Europe do tactically at times not little Motherwell. I seriously mean this when I say I cannot believe some of the football we are playing. David Gray said we didn't do anything different to what he expected but we changed shape and personnel so his management skills are obviously not fit for purpose. Their 3 defenders did not have a clue what to do as our 3 attackers were dropping into midfield etc etc. Hearts now will be wondering what formation we will play on Saturday and Jens has shown that we can play other ways. I'd have cook at cf on Saturday instead of our recognised centre forwards. He is so mobile and with maswahanise at side and just and slattery behind. Fading er and watt and defense of koutroumbis mcginn welsh longelo. Locking forward to it

Exactly .not really poor didn't think but most chances we have given up. I think our confidence took a knock last week plus astro added to it. But great result and Livi will give everyone a game there. They really surprised me today

I'm same right back looked as if played him onside

Canny believe he's been in Danish 2nd division. He is outstanding. Love watching him and so chuffed he got winner.

Just listened to managers press conference and doest he come across great. He is big on little percentage differences and how our league position isn't justified. I am fully with him on this. Football yes is all about results but their needs to be foundations for it to be sustainable. Jens is trying to build as we all know and I just hope that some who I feel are shortsighted in their feelings about our results do not chase him out and we are back to firefighting every year. He is ambitious and talks about other small clubs throughout Europe who are now competing with big boys. Yes tomorrow is big and we certainly need a result but if we don't which is possible I just hope the majority keep calm.

Our midfield are all tremendous footballers but maybe not disciplined enough to just defend when needed. I think Welsh could do in there 2nd half yesterday just to sit and Gordon brought on to deal with their height when we were on back foot but that's hindsight. When just went off we lost a body from the middle and that left us more open also. I'm sure JBA will have noticed as his interviews seem to suggest he has.

You might be right there spider but if you remember Alexander's team that was winning there was moans at that and then his luck ran out. And only last week scotland won 2 games and the response of fans was negative. I do honestly feel that unless it's perfection then a lot of the football fandom do like to moan so they can have a look at me moment.

This is where I am also. We had as many chances as Falkirk 2nd half and looked as dangerous so all this Falkirk were better i honestly didnt see it. They scored 2 to our none and obviously that is most important part and highlights our defencive weaknesses. Our problems are when we lose ball teams attack at will. I think we are sometimes too desperate to attack when we just need to slow game down a bit especially when other team are on a bit of a roll like at start of 2nd half.

I disagree and you have your opinion and I have mine. As ever it's what makes football greatest game in the world

Bloody hell. What a ridiculous take and unfortunately sums up social media fans. If anyone thinks we r failing it is only because we see how good we can be. All this talk of winning ugly etc only goes so far and you only have to look at last few years to see that and the eventuality. This team has potential and it is only that to do something we haven't seen in years. I am dismayed at response tonight. Some funny people about.

I always think it's an easy cop out saying hampden is a shit hole. Park head and ibrox are no better facility wise and are only better in their seating behind the goals. Murrayfield behind goals is as far away as hampden imo so saying it's not worthy of a final is harsh. Yes I'd love a Wembley or millennium but the constant knocking of our national stadium is as I said harsh. Where would you say is worthy of a final in Scotland

I'm with you on this mate and feel we will learn as most teams will start doing same. I.e putting 5 players up on us at goal kicks. JBA will see this and will develop a play out that will bypass these 5. There must be room elsewhere on pitch if they have 5 to mark our 2cdms and 2 cbs so that will be worked out what to do if this happens again. There is always solutions and I am sure we will find them. As others have said 1st time in years we have gave them a right game and only our lack of subs and 1 bad decision cost us. We are a match for anyone just now and it is great to see. Ps I would keep faith with ward as there is no way ox would give us extra man in playing out from back.

I also think a lot of our fans can't remember us being in this position where every game we are dominating. It's impossible to dominate for 90 mins though and due to this other teams are exploiting our weaknesses. However I for 1 am loving it and have no doubt we will come good. Remember when Alexander was winning and no one could see how as we were terrible but when our luck ran out we went to hell. Our luck this time hasn't started imo so only upside to come

Yes that was great when we did try those big switch of plays. As you say it keeps opponents wondering. Sods done well when he came on. He has imo got a good pass in him that breaks the lines. Decent as sub to come on if required

It was great to see a midfield that can all pass the ball. No punts up the park to hang on at end which just encourages all other teams players to push forward into our area. Rangers had to keep players back because they knew we were going to attack them. I know it's early days but best team since gorrin.turnbull.campbell days. And I also think it shows that we don't need a defensive midfielder as such we just need midfielders who can pass the ball to cover injuries and suspensions. Quite excited and tickets bought for next week as I think we will sell out in paisley.

I heard him on radio start of 1st half and he sounded like an old dinosaur along with derek ferguson. 2 of them are typical downbeat on anything new and especially from a foreigner.

If bair was cf today we would have strolled that
