If Livi win we could be bottom of league. They are a physical side and it will be difficult. Especially on that surface. Draw expected.

We could be bottom of league by Saturday if Livi beat us and that's a real possibility as Dundee beating Celtic.

Agree. Nothing wrong with it. Falkirk player appears to fall down but didn't see a clear foul. They are actively trying to disallowed goals. Ruining game. Referees and bar in this country is a joke.

These Motherwell games really helping me cut down on the alcohol on matchday. I only have a few beers if they win.

Russel Martin get flak for refusing to or being unable to change tactics on a game. Jba is similar. When teams adjust/ change tactics against us, he has no plan b.

1 win in 8. And it was a lucky win against Aberdeen. Relegation form.

What was the attendance?

Crowds will drop again as people getting fed up with collapsing in second half. Real defensive issues there.

Same old story. Dominating at start and collapse in second half. Very poor.

Agree. Had same issue. Can't be that difficult to get tickets for event. I'm not going to bother. Will probably try to get one for final. My elderly dad's missing out too as can't work the app. Must be a few missing out and money lost.

I think that's a fair point. Think a lot of comments had been fuelled by emotion at way we lost without looking at bigger picture and greater understanding. I include myself in that too and will try to be more rational and positive. The other forum p and b is more balanced but I prefer it here.

Agree totally. Watt is option and mistakes like that will continue as long as directive there to play it from the back. Team cannot suddenly go off script. Positives and negatives of same. He had been it under a lot of pressure prior to that mistake and just made a good save before it too.

When you look at expected goal stats score was fair. It's just gutting to throw away 2nd goal and to loose last min goal Mwell average age was 25 and Celtic 27 which is positive.

If there's a finite amount of errors from Ward that jba is willing to accept we have not reached it yet. Will it be another 4 or 5 games once we're out the cup and dropped more points?

Kettlewell alleged abuse seems light compared to the awful abuse and thuggery from sevco fans. They tried to stop the bus leaving and Martin needed police escort to leave. If that was well that behaviour would be demonised.

Dundee let Carson go to Ross county. He was good with his feet and hands. I'm thinking they didn't want him to go to rival club.

He can make lots of types of errors/mistakes then? That don't make it better. I'm with Grizzly. Hoped the best for him but he's costing us points. He also can't command his area and can't deal with crosses. Falkirk goin to put pressure on him on next game , knowing he's liable to make error and test him with crosses also.

There is also other options in January I'd a goalie becomes available that is good with his hands and feet.

Hope so mate. Least the weather in Texas can cheer you up. It's cold here in Giffnock. 🥶

Apostolosis Stamatolopolis gets my vote. Hope spellings right.

Will be. I'm hoping we can beat Falkirk at next home match if injuries clear up. Aldo worried Taiwando and Said may have injuries. Possibly Stama too. Hope we're not down to youth players in team and bench for Falkirk.

Least we can forget about it and look forward to Scotland matches now. It's still work in progress. Hearts will be gutted too. They think they can win the league.

I know players need to make choice of whether to play long or not. And read the game. However direction comes from manager and he has been clearly demanding it played out from the back. That system clearly did not work in game management as we have now lost 9 points from winning positions. I also think Ward and McGin are uncomfortable with the possession based approach and struggle with it. Possibly Priestly too.

Only positive I can see is Ward releases a dvd of his many bloopers and we use it to raise money for charity. It will be a fairly long dvd. 🤣

That's 9 lost from winning positions. Most in the league. I agree game management needed when we're ahead. Ward should be told not to play from the back when ahead. It's ok to play it long when times running out and at latter part of match.
