Stenhousemuir v Motherwell 19/07/2025 🏆

[Orinoco]

Refs need var to bail them out. 

14 corners, seems more.

[mio]

You know, fairs fair to Stenhousemuir. They had 7 new players arrived yesterday and today (I now believe they’ve all been involved) part time players, probably not too used to plastic parks either and they’ve kept a top level, possession centric, load management team to a bare minimum of goal shoots. Thank god we have SOD’s

[Mccus28]

A win is a win

[Orinoco]

A win, but that's about all you can say about that! Next...

 

[grizzlyg]

3pts the main thing. Bring on Davies and imrie

[texanwellfan]

That was a hard watch. 

[Andy H]

Could be worse, we could be Dundee...

[Orinoco]

Don't think it was a hard watch, more a boring training exercise.

[Orinoco]

Just think we got plastics pitches to look forward to at killie, livi and falkirk.  

See the carpet burn the muir guy had! 

[Andy H]

Plastic pitches need to be put into the sea

[twistandshout1983]

Main thing is the 3 points today

Hopefully another 3 against Morton however we manage to get them

[Andy H]

Draw and win the PK should put us through as one of the best 2nd.  9 is not going to get us through as our GD is poor.  Unlikely we will be seeded with 11

[MJC]

We won. That’s the positive.

The less said about the performance the better.

Tuesday night is must win but that was the case regardless of the result today.

I’ll put this out here now, We will not be beating Morton next week. Morton have a decent side and a streetwise manager, helped by a streetwise director of football.

I’ll be at the game, I’ll not be booing, shouting at players or calling for JBA,s head…. But we will not be winning that game.

Thats a fair assessment based on performances thus far  -be interesting to see if we can step up our own game.

Correct and if we don’t score the next goal we’re not winning this one imo. 

You would be better with someone else's opinion.

That’s exactly it really, Morton are way better than what we’ve played so far.
In my view, and I appreciate others have other opinions, I’ve not seen anything from us that gives me a great amount of hope, maybe an occasional flash of “something” from someone but that’s it.

im just hoping as we are playing a better side, on a good park that we show more creation and composure in the final third, which is the most important part of the game.

[texanwellfan]

Our threat from corners is non existent. Perhaps I don’t need the words “from corners” 😳

That’s got to be the hope , at the moment we’re not showing any obvious level above the opposition . 
 

Ideally we can step up a level and continue to beat Morton and then step up again as we progress towards spl .

Still to settle into our new way of playing , establish best formation and personnel and hopefully add quality into defence .

I see MJC has been recruiting for the doom and gloom club, honestly ive never heard so much negativity 5 games into a season ffs,

I’m really just saying what I’m seeing and I am still hopeful we’ll be ok. I quite like how the manager is and I’m quite happy how the set up at the club is.
But if you can tell me what has inspired you on the park so far then I’m interested to hear it? the only thing I’ve saw that I think looks ok is a few midfielders who seem to have a bit of ability but lack a bit of creation.

How did Stama play?Does he look like he is going to score anytime soon?

Just depends who you ask bud. I thought he looked poor. But there will be others on here who’ll say he played like R9.
