joewarkfanclub Posted August 25, 2024 Report Share Posted August 25, 2024 Really enjoyed that today! Thought we started slowly and Hearts dominated the ball to begin with, albeit we created the 2 best chances in the first 20 minutes. After that I thought we were the better team and throughly deserved to be in front at the break. Second have was great right up until we scored the second goal, then we seemed to take a step back teying ro protect the lead and invited Hearts back onto us. Thankfully their goal seemed to spur us on and the absolute desire feom the players to make sure we got the 3 points was a joy to watch, encapsulated by Sparrows efforts at the 3rd goal. Not the perfect performance today, still plenty of room for improvement, but that effort and will to win can go a long way. No failures today at all but big mentions for young Wilson who was superb and Andy Halliday who had his best game so far. MOTM for me was SOD though. His best performance in a Motherwell jersey by far. He seems to be flourishing having a manager who finally trusts him and has taken responsibility for his leadership position. Was so good to see him get his goal today. Thoroughly deserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's had his wobbles along the way but he's always been a decent footballer in my view I think his problem is that everyone judged him on his Kilmarnock and Scotland performances and we have never really got to see that for us as he has played for a few managers whose style of football didnt really suit him. Obviously being ostracised by GA didnt help but we are finally getting to see the player we all anticipated we were getting 3 years ago! If he keeps his levels up, I dont imagine we will be seeing much of Marvellous Marvin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to those that said Hearts were honking.....yes they were but lets focus on us and laugh at irritating character Naismith. I thought application and attitude today was immense, had wee wobble at 2-1 but apart from that a great team effort. There is far too much negativity after a loss so when we win it deserves praise. SOD and Halliday are whipping boys but with excellent today as were all the lads. This is why we love being well fans Up the Well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went through some sticky patches but he always gives 100% and frankly deserves credit for sticking with it when some might have stuck two fingers up when he got pelters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted August 25, 2024 Report Share Posted August 25, 2024 Great result and performance today. Well done to SK, SF and the players. It was a real team performance., Apart from a 15 minute spell when Hearts scored and we retreated timidly into our shell we pretty much dominated the game. In truth we could have scored 3 more on merit. Our defence has certainly stiffened up due in no small part to the Ox and Liam Gordon. I thought that Gordon, O'Donnell, Wilson, Halliday, Maswanhise and Watt were slightly above the others. Wilson is looking good. The single striker up front still isn't working properly though, with Robinson being outnumbered and left isolated. Oddly Halliday really seemed fired up; no doubt stemming from some baggage from his time in the capital. Maswanhise really looked the part and once fully fit should be a real asset. I thought Tony Watt too added some nous and experience. He can certainly hold the ball up and distract defenders. His run the length of a half taking 3 defenders with him and occupying them in the corner in the latter stages was something to behold. Let bygones be bygones - welcome back Tony. Now starting to feel more optimistic and it'll be interesting when our injured players return to active duty. Intriguing also if we sign anohter body or two before the deadline. A great day to be a Well fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted August 26, 2024 Report Share Posted August 26, 2024 Still buzzing after yesterday. One of best performances for a while and I was pleased to see SOD and Halliday getting good reception as both contributed well, especially SOD. Watt is certainly doing everything to get Well fans on board. His run near end of game was excellent. Still a few random boos but those will disappear soon if he is performing well. Let's hope we can build on that..COYW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
