Motherwell v Dundee United 28/02/2026

[mio]

I thought we made a wee but heavy weather of that but a 2-0 at home I’d take tha any day of the week. Agree we need to be better next week v Dundee. That will be a tough one.

What's the best result for us tomorrow.  Celtic win and we go above Rangers after beating Dundee next week.  Draw and we get closer to them both or Rangers win, we stay 3 behind but just a point behind Celtic?

We have Celtic and Hearts to play twice, Rangers once.  This is completely in our hands

Celtic have two games in hand, while we have a game in hand over Rangers, so I think the worst result would be for Celtic to win.

A draw would be best though.

Celtic have 3 bruising games before they play us. 
2 x rangers plus dons at Aberdeen. Meanwhile we have Dundee away. So hopefully they might be hurting a bit when they play us.

Build the fucking statue

Another clean sheet. The best goal difference in the league. Playing the best/most entertaining football. Have to keep pinching myself.

Completely agree - over the years there’s been good performances and some tough watches . 
 

can’t ever remember this standard of slick play and complete domination , not just now and again but again and again.

just soaking it all in , don’t want this season to end .

[Yabba's Turd]

Fair enjoyed that today, never in doubt we play with such confidence

[FirParkCornerExile]

A comfortable win without reaching the heights we are capable of. The atmosphere was a bit flat because we didn't get into our usual stride but no major concerns. Its 3 points, we move onto Dundee. Good to see Hibs dropping 2 points.  

[Welly Machine]

We can be better but comfortable win all the same. 

How many 2 nils is that now? Should really be putting a fiver on that every home game.

 

[Richie]

Put £10 on 2-0, Maswanhise Goal or assist and Just assist. Return of £400, but unfortunately no assist from Just.

[Spit_It_Out]

Just doing what we need to do three points in the bag simples.

Going into March with the old firm firmly in our sights what a time to be a Well fan!

Fantastic home support aswell lets hope it continues.

Another fantastic 3 points today , and well deserved

On another note I have just seen John Boyle collapsed at the game today .  Hopefully a speedy recovery

John will be loving this season and what we are doing.   Hope he is fine and recovers quickly

It would be interesting to see what would happen if Motherwell won the league with the best defensive record in the country regarding the Scotland World Cup squad.

It is possible this could happen with no Well players in the Scotland team.

Agree a draw would be best but a Celtic win is next best option for me as I want us to overtake both of them.

Ward’s performance was a bit odd.  Presumably the multiple long balls in first half was on instruction but his distribution started getting very sloppy towards end.  I suppose the good thing is that we lost goals early in the season from these types of lapses but  defended the resulting loss of possession better today.

Dundee Utd were man marking so were making it harder to play out from the back so he had to go long more often that would be usual.

Yes that seemed to be the case but also seemed more deliberate than just that reason. JT and Said were regularly looking to run onto Wards through balls and nearly worked as a tactic on couple of occasions.
