Goalie costs us 2 but then made two great saves to keep us in it.

As said we stopped playing when we scored 3rd. Watt and slattery disappeared. We need midfield reinforcements to replace tired players.  

Manager will probably learn alot about our defence after this game.

We would have taken a draw at start. They had nowt to lose and thru everything at us. We will get better. Will they?

What can you say. So frustrating as it was a magnificent performance for the first hour absolutely blew them away, Ward gave them two gift wrapped goals but made a few fine stops late on. Just a shame we couldn't get another with decent chances for Hendry and Fadinger.

Easy to blame the keeper. It hearts were dominant in final 30 .

When hearts scored their first we should have shored up the midfield - brining on wingers and taking off midfield players I think was poor game mgt . 
 

we allowed hearts to run over us - gaffer as good as he’s been needs to learn from that .

As much as I’m disappointed, the way we played for an hour was incredible. Im not going to moan too much as it’s still better than what we’ve watched for years.

From 3-0  up dominating play, Hearts being battered and we fecked it up big time, another 2 points thrown away. 

I don't think we can blame our forwards for this one, a shambles of a defence again that cant close a game out, still we never lost but we cant afford to be throwing points away like that.

Well before the game you’d snap the arm off anyone who offers you a draw at Tynecastle against an in form Hearts side. But context is everything with draws.

Regardless of what was another very good first half performance and a strong start to the second half we have thrown away a 3-0 lead with less than twenty minutes left and that is totally and utterly unacceptable, as well as being completely unprofessional. So it’s two points dropped rather than a point gained and as I said earlier it was a classic Motherwell bottle job. 
 

We are now in the position of being three league games into the season and have no wins to our name. We even needed extra time against St.Johnstone last week to secure League Cup progression. Today should ring alarm bells loud and clear to anyone who thinks this team is capable of top six this season, because until we actually manage to win football matches then that is pie in the sky.

Not good enough Motherwell.

For over an hour we were by far the best team and played Hearts off the park. Became too cavalier and should’ve put Halliday on after we went 3-0. Manager needs to learn how and when to close a game down. Still would’ve taken a point from here beforehand.

2 of our first 3 games have been home to rangers and away to hearts plus away to st mirren.  Not an easy start to season.  We are a job in progress and I believe in Askou.

If the game had continued we'd have lost. That fourth was coming sooner rather than later.

Really not sure how to feel about that.

Would have bit your hand off for a point before kick off, but 3-0 up the game should be done!

Jens is going to have to think about where the balance lies between playing our football and making sure we take home the 3 points.

Think we lost the midfield when Slattery came off and Spittal came on.

Totally understand taking him off on a yellow card with the lead we had, but hindsight would suggest that is a mistake.

Poor defending for the first allowing the overload back post and poor keeping for the second (through his legs) and the 3rd (palming it out).

Still a work in progress and we kinda knew this is how our "style" couldl pan out, but still a sore one in the end.

Mcginn and ward chucked the 3 points away. 

Thank goodness someone  can see McGinn was mainly at fault for the second standing with hand in the air claiming offside when he was the man playing him onside, the same thing happened again later in the match.

We were different class for an hour then took our foot of the gas when we scored the 3rd then couldn't get going again.the defence has been solid the first couple of games but we still have too many from last season that aren't good enough,there's some real positives to take from today but also we need to learn from the mistakes and quick.
