Motherwell v Dundee United 29/10/2023

[SteelmaninOZ]

Mid week game under the lights on our green green grass of home will we win two in a row? 
Will VAR decide who will win?

Yes, we will win.

We’ll need to play a lot better than today if we’re going to win this one. 
 

Looking forward to it mind you.

Yes, we certainly will, but I expect that we will on a good grass surface. That pitch today was very slow. Every time the ball bounced it died. Terrible surface.

The win today should take a bit of the pressure off and being back on the grass should allow us to be a bit more free flowing again.

Hopefully Longelo is ok, although I would be just as happy to rest him for the semi final if required.

Everyone else should be fitter and sharper as a result of todays run out.

Im not convinced United are all they are cracked up to be. Decent, yes. Beatable, certainly.

Id take a draw, but 3 points would be magnificent for the teams  confidence ahead of Saturday.

We will but from what I saw today Utd we're far from convincing against St Mirren and lucked out with the refs decisions. 

It will be a hard hard game but if we have any aspirations we need to win games like this.

The return of Slattery is a major bonus. If we play like we can and do it over 90 mins there's no reason why we can't win.

Correct the pace on that pitch today was ridiculously slow. Whilst not to blame for every intercepted pass it certainly played a part.
