Crowd was just over 6,400 I believe with about 600 away fans. 

At first I thought lower than that but 5800 home fans on midweek game and after all the European expense is very good. I think a lot of neutrals cone to watch us mow

Nearly 6000 home fans for a midweek game is good going,there would have been a time fairly recently when we would have seen about 4000 there for this type of fixture even on a saturday,to put it into context there was quite a load more motherwell fans at our game last night than what there was in the entirety at rugby park and almost as many for a so called derby game at dens park.

Incredible to see individual players being slated when we've just put in a superb team performance and got a great result.

It was the same at the match last night when all I heard was Vogts being criticised.  Not great goals, great performance, great start to the season.....

It seems like even when things are about as good as they will ever be for Motherwell fans, a lot of them still want to whine and moan.

Seriously, after last night we are talking about Maswanhise's alleged taxi conduct?

It'd be funny if it wasn't also grim as fuck.

 

Every accusation is a confession, as they say. I don't complain about some of your weird and wonderful contributions (or about those from  a few others). It's a fan opinion forum so I'll post what I like until the moderator says otherwise, thanks.

Maswanhise's form has nose-dived since about February and I'm not sure his head is really with us. If we had received a reasonable offer before the end of the window, I would have  happily jumped at the money. Perhaps there is a reason why his suitors seem not to be so keen on him. I would have been  more concerned had Longelo left us.

The new squad looks stronger than last season to me and potentially even more exciting  so I'm really looking forward to them gelling  now that the manager  has more coaching time in the international break. If Alfred can work his magic on Maswanhise and restore him to his old  form then that will be fine by me but ultimately  that's up to the player.

Let's wait and see what happens now he's with us until January at least.....

I liked the old days when players didnt go clapping to the fans. Full time, shake hands with opposition and down the tunnel. 

It does all seem a bit performative these days.

I get why the players would do it after a big win, when the crowd has been raucous and we are all celebrating together, or indeed after an unlucky defeat where they have given everything and the fans want to show appreciation.

But doing it after every league game devalues it for me.

And I definitely dont like to see it if the team has put in a stinker. Just get up the tunnel and sort things out in the dressing room.

Noticed on Instagram post from club at end of game when players applauding fans Alfred putting his arm round Vogt.  Poor lad just looks devoid of confidence.    Hope he can turn it round, there are glimpses there but when confidence low its hard.

I felt sorry for him last night. He almost tried too hard when he came on and nothing came off for him. Nice touch from Alfred. He does that often. Seen him doing the same with Lowry on the touchline after he was subbed off.

Yep, felt sad for him as it just wasn't happening.  I reckon if still 1-0 AJ wouldn't have brought him on.  Great man management at the end and I'm sure the players are all helping.  Watch our bench when we score goals, willy always in thick of celebrations

The Diana-isation of society. Public displays of feelings and emotion all went downhill after Princess Di's car crash.

Millenials and Gen-Z take some of the blame too.

Not that I'm an miserable old Gen-Xer or anything. I'll bottle it up and let it kill me like a proper man.
