Kmcalpin Posted yesterday at 09:32 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 09:32 AM Its going to be a real struggle to hold onto 4th place. All our remaining games are against fellow top 6 sides and here's our record against them this season. Hearts: 2 draws. Celtic: 1 win 1 loss Rangers: 2 draws 1 loss Hibs: 1 win 1 draw Falkirk: 1 draw 1 loss In total, thats 2 wins, 6 draws and 3 defeats. We're unbeaten against Hearts and Hibs but haven't beaten Falkirk, Rangers or Hearts. Having said that, I'm delighted that we've managed to finish in the top 6. Anything above that is the icing on the cake. If we manage to finish 4th I'll be over the moon and if its 5th I'll be delighted. To put things in perspective, at the start of the season, I was hoping to finish 7th this term as that would represent progress. We've achieved that and more. Our away from has been fair no better this season and I felt that going into yesterday's game many were overconfident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might not have won anything but give me this season over any season we have had recently that's for sure. Spot on , my thoughts as well its been a joy to come to Fir Park this season and watch the football we have been playing, long may it continue. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to beat Hibs and Falkirk at Home and that will secure 4th from that point if we pick up another 4 points from the other 7 games we'll be 4th on 63 points I doubt Hibs or Falkirk will get to that tally.

wellfan Posted yesterday at 11:25 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 11:25 AM 4th spot is ours to lose now. Anything less would be a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texanwellfan Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago Yesterday’s result was just a huge disappointment even although I’ve been expecting a defeat to come along at some point. When compared to our new normal performances it was not what we’re used to but I give Dundee some credit for that. Fair do’s to the team and JBA for trying different tactics in the second half, much different than how we normally played. Caused a lot of goalmouth scrambles and on another day we might have got a few goals. I thought when we did score we would at least take a point but we were not able to ( or decided not to) switch back to our more controlled game and be patient as there was still 12+ mins to go. We Continued to persevere with the alternate tactics that got us the equalizer. Despite what we consider to be a sub par performance we still dominated the game so, while very disappointing result, I see no reason to change what we have been doing all season and this is just an expected blip in the road. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wunderwell Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago We've gone from winning title chat to struggling to finish 4th. I mean we're still just 5 pts behind Champions League qualification. Long way to go for chat, in both directions. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we're still just 5 pts behind Champions League qualification. Long way to go for chat, in both directions. I don't know. I didn't think we were ever in with much of chance of winning the title and had completely dismissed that possibility and ignored all chat about it. As for the top three, the odds are very, very heavily stacked against us and again I'm focused on finishing 4th. As Wellfan rightly says though thats ours to lose, and if we finish up up in 5th place then thats what we'll have deserved, no less and no more. An achievement in its own right.

Or, should I say, lacks the necessary qualities. Margins are thin, but but good football alone wins nothing. Lets just enjoy the football and irrespective of whether we end up 4th or 5th it will have been a great season and gives us hope that we can improve for next season. I don't get along to many games now Dave but I'm still Motherwell through and through. Take care . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orinoco Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago What will be will be, so we take each game as they come and enjoy. The reaction from fans of other clubs after that result is telling. Our style, performances and direction our club is going has certainly rattled a few. Reset and we go again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stv Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Dundee deserved to win. They stopped us playing, took their chances, had a goal disallowed then hit the bar. Our chances when they came were all off target and over elaborate. Can be great and lucky in every game it was comming. Still playing for third tho. Celtic are shite.

Wee bit strange reading of things. Plenty of shots off target, but certainly not all, given their keeper made 8 saves. And their goal was disallowed because it was well offside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
