We might draw 1 but we looked on the beach. Today was always going to be a huge mountain to climb for us and the result shouldn't have surprised anyone. Once again McGlynn has got the the better of JBA. It was possibly the hardest of our remaining 4 games. I think we're on the beach for several reasons and its up to Hibs now how much they want that 4th spot. If we can avoid hammerings in our next 2 games, I'll happily go Easter Road for the final game 3 points ahead of Hibs and not care about the result.

To be fair I can't imagine any player is particularly motivated while playing for 4th and being out the cups. Falkirk are desperate to get into Europe and quite clearly wanted it more than us. I think unless Hibs beat one of the OF they won't pick up the 7 points they need to overtake us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobbybingo Posted 14 hours ago Report Share Posted 14 hours ago Sick of the sight of Falkirk, but they're out the road now and we live to fight another day. A fair few clubs have had a worse weekend than us. Hopefully, Hibs join that list tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hibs beat Falkirk and us and take one point off the gruesome twosome that would be enough. In the short term, they'll want to preserve their Euro spot by burying Falkirk.

Stuwell2 Posted 13 hours ago Report Share Posted 13 hours ago Watching the game I thought that we had a decent shout - by the standards that have been set against us by the referees and VAR - for a penalty against SOD but it wasn’t even show, never mind discussed on Sportscene.

To put it simply its all in our hands and at this stage of season you can't ask for much more than that. Do hibs not have two players suspended for Celtic game as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might seem odd, but I think our next 2 games will be the easiest of our post split fixtures. Yes, Hibs have indeed got 2 players suspended for the Celtic game. The result of that fixture will go a long way to determine the final pecking order. I'd like to think that the players will be up for our final 2 home games, but we'll see. As we found out again, pre match talk is no substitute for matchday attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is difficult not to be motivated by a full Firpark when the title chasers are in town. Next Saturday eve is box office. I think we will see a more motivated Well side to beat Hearts and I think we will. Having said that, I was expecting more from today. I would have thought the team would have been motivated. I think it is naive to think that the season is over for us. If Hibs win tomorrow ( which is very possible) they are only 3 points behind. Today was disappointing on a few levels.

joewarkfanclub Posted 9 hours ago Report Share Posted 9 hours ago Thought we struggled to play our normal game on a sticky pitch. First half was pretty even, albeit Falkirk had the best 2 chances. Second half, I thought we kept at it, but our delivery was poor. After they scored we started to take risks and could have easily conceded more. Not our best day at the office, but if the chance at the end goes in we all go home happy. Still not sure how Hendry missed that. Not sure it was going in, but he did seem to clear it off the line!

wellfan Posted 51 minutes ago Report Share Posted 51 minutes ago These plastic pitches have no place in the top flight. I’ve said it before: if you can’t grow and maintain grass in Scotland, you’ve no business running a professional football club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
