Under lights on the green green grass at home. Can we get another win?
I think we will with big crowd for a midweek game 2-1 to the Steelmen.
COYW.
The increased attendances have been the biggest impact this season. I used to despair that we were stuck at 3500/4000 for home support. It had been at that level for years. Just shows if you give the punters something to enjoy and get behind they will respond. Being so close to Christmas I don't think we will hit the 7000 mark. Think 6000 is more like it for a midweek game. Get a good result tonight the crowd on Saturday could be a 15 year high.
Been many a year since we were getting these numbers

Hibs have a very good record at Fir Park, it could go either way, Hibs are capable of being absolute pish or pretty decent.

Need a strong street wise referee. Does such a thing exist?
Certain Hibs players like a dive in and around opponents box. So we need to be extra careful not to dangle legs or jump in.
They are also quite direct.
We have struggled against them home and away. Going to be a hard game. We need to be clinical and have abit of luck.
Going to be interesting.
Him with the painted hair (Boyle) is always a danger.

I know I am getting ahead of myself but if we could win our next two games and Jambos lose at Aberdeen today we are just 6 points behind Hearts , we join the title race 😁😉

It’s a strange one, the guys good at going forward - getting an assist today - but defensively he’s suspect as was shown at the start of the second half where I thought Killie targeted down that side and were having a bit of success, hence the reason for subbing him.
Even going forward I think he's faded a bit , he rarely goes by his man these days.
-
Apart from a 15 wobble after they scored we deserved that. We mixed up the play a wee bit to to break up Killies attempt at the high press in the second half. Defensively we were solid . The penalty came at the right time and settled us down. Don't know whats happened to Longello but he's a shadow of the player he's been.

I don't doubt you believe it, but if you'd already forgotten a game from September, I'll need convincing you remember the details of games from 7 years ago.
It's because it feels that way, painful defeats remain in the memory longer than run of the mill wins. So you are correct if we looked at it with real analysis it probably isn't the case. Now the one where we generally lose when we get a big crowd coming out is true 😜

There are certainly people in the media (and ex-players) who would be delighted if we fail. Can't have the "wee" teams trying anything progressive when they should be staying in their lane and sticking to the well worn traditional approach.
3 games against Aberdeen with 2 wins and draw in a decent return.
I think it's obvious we could do with another central defender and another striking option, but I'm sure JBA sees that too. If we can keep picking up points in the run up to the next transfer window, a couple of astute signings could see our top 6 aspirations improve.
Ex players ?? Craigan by chance , he gets on my fuckin nerves ..

we are doing fine. We just need to concentrate on one game at a time and see where it gets us.
Killie on that awful pitch is going to be hard.
Thankfully we've already proven we can win on plastic this season. Kilmarnock are really quite poor but you are correct this will not be an easy game , our record over the last few years down there is not great. Might be wrong but think we've only won once down there in 6 years.

The seven games to Christmas before back to back games against the arse cheek’s are
Killie (A)
Hibs (H)
Hearts (H)
Falkirk (A)
Livingston (H)
Dun Utd (A)
Dundee (H)
I’d like to think we can get 12 to 15 points from those fixtures but given that we’ve only managed 15 points in the first 11 games, am I being over optimistic?
If we maintain our current level of points per game we'd be on 45 points at the split that's a baw hair away from the points needed to be to 6. That would be a terrific outcome considering the huge transformational changes the club and the manager are trying to achieve.

How’s many points do You normally need to make top 6 after 33 games?
Generally around 45/50 and our current return in points if maintained wouldn't have us far away from that

Just watched the Sportscene highlights, shocking defending for the Aberdeen goal, Koutroumbis caught upfield pressing high but the Aberdeen player was allowed to run in on goal and every Motherwell player backed off, no tackles or blocks and he was allowed to shoot with no intervention. Oh and Ward could have made more of an effort, his positioning was poor.
I really hope we can sign another striker in January, Hendry shows promise but Stamatelopoulos is hopeless., still we never lost and its another well earned point.
How the hell we shelled out a lot of money ( well for us) on Stama is farcical.

Is it not just 3 defeats?
I was including the result from last week that should never be mentioned again.

I think I’m going against the grain here but I really enjoyed that game today, I thought at periods during that game we were exceptional. The way we shifted the ball about is better than anyone else in the league. What we do miss though is that striker who we’d be confident of converting any half chance also a solid reliable goalie.
Hope we can use some cash quickly to get a couple of players in rather than having money in the bank and paying a chunk of it to the taxman
Oh I can't say I didn't enjoy it. There are just things we need to sharpen up. However that won't be a surprise to players or the manager.

Aberdeen have improved a lot since we last played them amd yet we still dominated the game and thrashed them one each.
thought we played decent and were pressing for a winner. I think Hendry starts next game.If that's them improved fuck me they must have been bad. I thought Aberdeen were absolute garbage today that's my frustration about the result. However we didn't lose and sets us up for the pain in the arse international break.

See what happens when we up the pace and play with a bit more urgency?
Well in EJ
Correct , that's my biggest grip about today, the pace was so fuckin slow. However our accuracy figures for passing was 89%. With that kind of accuracy we restrict the oppositions chance to dominate us. As much as I think we do need to speed it up how far would our passing accuracy fall. Could be a double edged sword.

Even Willlie Miller on RedTV at half
Time saying we were by far the better team
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkIn outfield play we were but very frustrating today because Aberdeen are pish. Our build up play is far too slow. We need to inject some pace into it. That said we do that the passing accuracy falls , so could be a double edged sword. I must be getting greedy in my old age. I remember the days I'd have been delighted with a point at Pittodrie. I could be convinced it was a point gained but could also be convinced it was two points dropped cos Aberdeen are utter shite. All said n done 4 defeats in 18 games is still well in the positive side for ANY Motherwell team.

I'm sure we will and I'm sure we won't when we can't defend.

How that St Mirren team beat us 4-0 last week is a mystery. They were utter gash against Hibs there.
My thoughts exactly , watched it , and St Mirren played exactly the same way as they did against us and Hibs contained them without breaking sweat. The so called Steven Robinson masterclass that never was.
-
Just watched the tactical masterclass that was Steven Robinson. St Mirren played exactly the same way against Hibs as they did against us , humped 3-0. Infuriating to see how easily contained them.

St Midden have as much chance of beating Celik in a final at Hampden as we would if we had got there.
That's no chance at all .
Had we got Celtic in the final Id have been more confident than any other time we faced them in a final. Celtic are a shadow of the team the were and were fortunate to beat a 10 man Rangers team. Sure they will be favourites against St Mirren but St Mirren will not face a weaker Celtic team ever again.

It's possible Robinson may get close to record for most cup finals lost without winning one in Scotland. Think it's 4. If Celtic win in December, he would be on 3 losers medals.
I think they stand a decent chance to beat Celtic , Celtic are a shadow of the team theyve been in recent years.

Well that was a surprising line up. But you know I didn't even concern myself with it . That's how much belief I have in the managers tactics and reading of the opposition and his team selection. That's us now played everyone and no one has been better than us over the 90 mins of any of the league games. We should fear absolutely no one. Tonight was a sheer pleasure to watch, what a game Priestman had. I would like the job of picking from that squad these days. Also a big shout out to Koutroumbis for that quite incredible interception to prevent Hibs getting on back. Had a fiver on us to win 3-0 but cashed out at £18. The cash out got to £28 but fell like a stone from 70th minute.
