Yaaaaasss Skippy

5-3-2 apparently

Yep, especially when changes are made and we almost concede immediately.

Scoring right on half time.

Not bbc, but:match commentary on mixlr channel http://mixlr.com/motherwellfc/

Its ridiculous how many times he's offside. He seems as oblivious to being offside as Ainsworth is to tracking runs.

I would like to think win bonuses come well down the motivional pecking-order, after professional pride, competitive nature/will to win etc etc.

Glad its not just me and someone else is seeing this.Persistently offside and running around with his hands in the air. Said on other thread, some good hold-up play, but then he'll hold onto the ball too long or give ball away.

The problem with Law is, he will play ok but then let a guy drift past him or not close down a cross, which will result in conceding a goal.

Very much this. Our inability to block, or tendency to back off crosses/shots etc is lamentable.

I think McDonald gets off a bit lightly His hold up play can be very good, but he is perpetually offside, picks the wrong option and/or gives away possession. Cadden played well enough.Outwith that I'm struggling though. Thomas did ok for the time he was on. Ripley did as well as could be expected.

I would go more .........Ripley Law McManus Kennedy Hammell ........... Gomis ..........Cadden Pearson...... Ainsworth................Johnson ............McDonald

Even if they could recall him, they wouldn't be able to register him outwith the transfer window?

Long/high ball shite to the smallest guy on the pitch again

To compound things, McDonald appears oblivious to the offside rule.

Not overly impressed with the scapegoaing either, not least because it's a bit tenuous to blame Ainsworth for the goal. Our players routinely back off when someone in about to get a cross into the box etc - Are we going to slaughter them all? The hurried and slack passes/clearances allowed Thisle to keep pressure on

Long ball shite. If we're going to do that, put Fletcher up front, not Johnson.

I have us, Palace, Stoke and West Brom £4 = £280

Just saw photos of the nick of the pitch. Ooft. We, quite rightly, got slated for it. Theirs looks equally as bad. No clamour for points deductions etc though. Anyway... Quite looking forward to it. Will be cutting it fine, so will need to be a Brisk walk (or taxi) up Maryhill Rd

To be fair, the 6-6 Hibs game and Jutkiewicz's volley were on a horrific pitch, so you never know.

Bit late replying, but I'm in city centre, so about 2 miles.

Absolutely cracking day in Glasgow now. Blue skies and Sun out.

Harsh scoreline to be fair. The right final ball and we could have had a few as well

Its incredibly frustrating seeing players close down the opposition, only to stop 5 yards off and allow the pass/cross/shot anyway. If you're going to press, you need to go the whole way and your teammates have to be on their toes to intercept the pass which is forced etc. Worrying trend of not tracking runs as well. Hopefully we'll get that kind of stuff ironed out under McGhee.
