Certainly worth trying to keep. Always a danger and good for morale around the club.

Just watched it and we looked lost at the back. We badly need a leader on the park.
-
Looking forward to a good night on Saturday and from the patter at the signing tables last night a few of the players are up for it.

Hope he gives the front 2 another run as they caused problems for the Hearts big guys at the back and created space for JOB and Yass to exploit. From a personal point I wish we would stop pissin about at the back so much as we are gonna look stupid one week.

Jutkiewicz had a very good game and put his chances away when they came.

great improvement and gave 100% yesterday. Very strong against Potter and held the ball well.

All about opinions - don't get carried away

Have to disagree wth all- thought he was average today and went missing today when it counted - we need to be seen

Many good things happening around the club at youth level just now with a lot of common sense being spoken and portrayed by our coaches at this level. Good to see many of the guys who watch the 'Well regularly picking up on this at youth games - the future is in good hands.

As stated in another thread I think that the announcer can be an advantage to us if he shows enthusiasm at goals and substitutions etc, and the crowf react in a positive fashion, but it aint no good if the majority of fans (east stand) can't hear a word.
Time to get this fixed Leanne

Aye I know, but having bought about 5000 now I'm due one
Nah it's just out of interest, with the loudspeakers being quite shite I think everything that is mentioned should be subtitled!
That was the worst yet yesterday, couldn't even hear goalscorers or subs. Your announcer can drum up the support with the way he conducts himself and we should use it to our advantage. Get it sorted.

There were other great performances but Shaun Hutchinson was superb defensively and scored a great goal. He is proving to be an old head on young shoulders already
-
I feel they have as much to worry about with our pace and enthusiasm. We should match them in midfield and are capable of getting goals from a variety of players. Time for Murphy to show against premier opposition and O'Brien is improving.

Where to start...
First half, I would agree we looked nervous. Weight of expectations possibly given the optimism about the place? Having said that, re-watching the game on Alba last night, we created more in the first half than I remembered. I don't think Sutton was having that bad a game. Was winning a lot of ball but no one seemed to be getting close enough to him to make enough of the second ball.
Second half, we did look a lot more dangerous. Every time we went forward, it looked like we could score. I think Murphy looks a far better player playing as a centre forward and the combination of McHugh and him has potential. Humphrey looked better than he had done previously but I have to say that could have been down to the fact we were putting the ball in front of him with no one to beat and no time to think, just enough time to whip it in. On the odd occasion he had more time to think or had an opponent to beat, he seemed to struggle. Maybe needs a wee bit of coaching on his decisionmaking? No coincidence that we looked better when Coke and Forbes came into the game more. Not sure if there's enough bite in the two of them to play as a midfield 2 in a 4-4-2 in the SPL. Having said that, Coke put in a couple of crunching challenges yesterday, obviously doesn't know McDonald's fondness for sending off Motherwell players.
And now on to the defence. Hately did quite well for his debut. Obvious that he wasn't a natural full back but did well enough in the role. I like Hutchison, big and very raw, but I think all the tools are there for him to become a very good centre back. Reynolds even looked decent at centre back. Less said about Hammell the better really. Ruddy is the new Dykstra. Good goalkeeper, but some moments of real insanity.
I didn't think Craigan was playing that badly and I thought his distribution was no worse than Hutchisons so the change, even though it worked, does strike me as a strange one. I can see the reasoning behind the Sutton change more as we were obviously going more for the mobile on the deck approach. How the likes of Sutton, Craigan and Lasley react to be benched or sidelined, and how Gannon deals with these players that we will need at some point over the season, will say a lot about each of their characters. Gannon has to be careful not to alienate players he might need to call upon.
One thing's for sure. This is not going to be a dull season...
Melvin,
Agree with most of your view, and I thought the Craigan hook was to get Reynolds out of midfield where in my opinion he is not mobile enough, but Gannon recognises that he is still decent at the back. Maybe Hutchinson and Reynolds is an option?

Giving my vote to big Hutch - good equaliser and never hid when needed. Coke, Forbes , O'Brien all in the frame, and good to see Humphrey showing a bit better.
