Christ no! That would have disaster of all disasters written all over it.

We were pretty decent yesterday i thought but again lacked the cutting edge. With the exception of the opening period of the 2nd half we matched up with and at times nullified a strong Hearts side. Eli Just was brilliant again. We’ve definitely shown improvements in our game management over the last month and credit to JbA for learning lessons from the LCSF debacle.

We need to avoid a Premiership club or a high flying Championship team as they have been brutal for us the last few years in this competition.

Not going to be our day unfortunately.

VAR is utter poison. I don’t care if that was technically the correct decision or not, it is absolutely sucking any joy and spontaneous moments of enjoyment out of the game.

Don’t see us getting anything from this one infact I think we could actually be on the end of a drubbing. 1-5 Hearts

Great stuff so far!

According to the official X it’s Hendry, Longelo, Fadinger, Said and Slattery. No mention of AP.

Interesting lineup. Five changes! Sparrow, Gordon, Priestman, Just and RCC all in. AP nowhere to be seen??

Can see this one being a draw. 1-1

Bullshitters gonna bullshit

A huge three points that. Our first win since the SF drubbing and with tough games against both Edinburgh clubs coming up this week. And to see a game out from a winning position. It wasn’t great and it wasn’t pretty and we’ve still got a lot to learn as a team but we managed to do it. Hopefully we take a confidence lift from that.

The Kilmarnock X account makes for some glorious reading about Kettlewell. ”6 defeats in a row, no one else would get away with that. Sack him” ”Kettlewell out. A cheap appointment playing out as we all predicted. Utter dross from recruitment to tactics. Get him binned tonight” “SK it’s time to go” Bascially EVERYTHING that was being said by our fans over the last two years. ‘Some Motherwell fans really are deplorable human beings’ though eh???

Well it was a tough watch in that 2nd half and I’m not convinced we would have won had we not got the penalty when we did. But we got there in the end and I’m absolutely delighted with that.

We can’t handle being on the back foot in games. Teams that press us and work the ball in our half and we haven’t a clue what to do.

Dropping off again! Wake up ffs!

Penalty specialist is AP. It’s on a silver platter for us now…don’t balls this up.

Just can’t help ourselves

We couldn’t see out a 3-0 lead against Hearts back in August never mind a 2-0 one which we have always struggled with. I know that this Kilmarnock team aren’t the Hearts side we played that day but we are still us so you just don’t know. Dare I say it, I think we will see this out today and get the win but we’ve got a lot of work to do to make that happen.

Really enjoyed that first half and deservedly 2-0 up. Not over yet though. The next 45 will tell us if we have learned any lessons from previous games when we’ve been in the driving seat.

You’ll be upsetting him, and Ya_Bezzer! with talk like that.

Too early to start getting cocky, this could easily end up another Tynecastle in August yet. Playing some great stuff but we’ve been here before.

Magic!! Now. Don’t do your usual and chuck them a goal please. Just for once 🙏

The talisman again

Beautiful day for a trip down to Ayrshire. I love Ayrshire myself, lovely county, North East and South. Rolling hills and sandy beaches overlooking the firth of Clyde. And some towns and villages with such charming names like Auchinleck, Mauchline and Cumnock. Be even better if we bring three points back up the M77 today.
