Good header but I think the Dundee defender deserves some credit for stepping out of the way to let TJ head it unchallenged. 😂😂 WTF was he doing!!!

He probably seen the size of TJ and thought he's no threat in the air 😂

A great result and performance with only 10 men. Beforehand, I thought that a draw would be a great result; but an unlikely one.  Very happy that I was proved wrong. A huge win that guarantees us safety and a 10th placed finish at worst. To win like that shows some grit and character. Well done Tom Sparrow and TJ. Good to see the Ox back between the sticks, and Steve Seddon make his comeback.

We can now really plan for next season.

2 Yellows and and red card. We must have kicked poor Dundee off the park. Will have to see that red card on TV.

How many stoppage minutes went up on the board ? Commentator on the stream had no clue how much time they were adding on so it was agony not knowing how close we were to the end or if we were even playing past the minimum time to be added. Thought it was never going to end 

Think it was 12 extra played

We can pick apart the dundee goal all we want, but it was a cracking finish. I thought overall we defended well, and restricted them to set pieces and a couple of breaks. Outside of the 2 long throws, we were first to everything that came into our box. Crazy considering how makeshift that defense is.

Not having the the Thompson hate today. At worst he was perfectly serviceable at LB and put in a shift, as did all the players. Dundee got no joy down the flanks at all, while we got a goal and assist from Sparrow and Thompson.

Johnny K didn't need to do that, and I hope we don't waste money on an appeal. We're probably going to have to play Sparrow at RB in the 4 next week, or we could see Seddon come in and Dom switch over.

Paton was fine, he played a great pass to slattery for his chance, and was involved in some good passages of playbwith slattery and Miller, but in general he doesn't have the cutting edge needed to play in a front 3 with no real striker in it. 

JT coming on allowed is to stretch them, and they had to be aware of his threat in behind. He did a great job of ghosting in front of the defender for the goal. He does that a lot.

I wouldn't say it's hate about Thompson.  He wears the jersey and is trying his best.  Personally I am not convinced he is worth a new deal yet but also said I will hold my hand up if proved wrong.

Maswanhise is big player for us if he can get consistency.

Exactly nobody hates the guy but the left side is such a weak area for us and I have not seen anything this season to tell me other wise.

I wouldn’t change Scottish football for anything. Down to 10 men, a last minute winner and our centre forward being barracked for 90mins with shouts of wee fat basta*rd!! 
no other top league in the world have fat bastar@Ds playing in them.

love it!! Long may it continue!!

The only thing I would change about being a Motherwell fan is the squeaky bum time every season. Never gets any easier

Not just cos of the cross there but I don't get the issue Thompson, looks pretty mobile to me.

His problem is he rarely finds a Motherwell player with a pass. Constantly gives the ball away. 

His decision making is also suspect. 

Great assist for the goal though, so credit where it's due.....
