Yeah, of course they can look the same, but a good manager should be able to address these issues, within reason. 29 minutes ago, joewarkfanclub said: Ultimately, yes.

wellfan Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 37 minutes ago, FirParkCornerExile said: Tactically you are not wrong. As I said in an earlier post and last night we went into panic mode after we scored. A sure sign of a team under pressure. We abandoned our very effective 1st half play to try and defend the game out which was criminal. We resorted to the kind of tactics that Kettlewell would have been proud of after we went ahead. Yes I get the defend as a team angle but equally you do actually need a defence to be competent too and we just don't have it. St Johnstone literally had 3 efforts on our goal and scored with two because the defence is pish. I don’t disagree. Our defence is a shambles.

MJC Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 6 hours ago, wellfan said: How anyone can take positives from that overall performance is beyond me. The regression from last season is staggering. The fact we resorted to the hoofball tactic even while winning should be the final nail in the coffin for Alfred. When it looked like we were going to get over the line last night I was obviously feeling relieved but at the same time knew that all it would do was kick the can down the road with a manager who needs to be gone asap. But obviously I’d have been happy with us winning. When we chucked it away it felt like a defeat and in all honesty we would have been as well losing because playing ‘well’ against a really poor St.Johnstone team and still failing to get over the line does us no favours. Rather than kicking the can all it has done is shuffle along the pavement and it getting stuck in a drain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right it was abysmal but from the minute we went 2-1 up they were getting cross after cross in from the left , they had acres of space to deliver those crosses and unlike us they can deliver decent crosses, thats another piss poor part of our game, the set piece play from us is shocking.

Simples You do realise that well constructed, straight to the point and accurate posts like this will never be acceptable on this forum. As you say certain players not doing the job they were told to last night cost us the win, nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell Daft Posted just now Report Share Posted just now Having watched the game last night I agree with posters in here that St J were there for the taking, we should have scored at least 4 within the first 65 minutes, the demise all hinged on taking off our best player Said, him and Hodge were a good combo last night and every time Said got the ball we were dangerous moving forward at speed but when AJ for some reason took him off and then decided that we were going to defend for 25 minutes was suicidal in my eyes, what on earth was SOD thinking about, clearly not defending when he just lets the striker jump freely for their second goal, that’s 3 goals in 3 games for SOD he must be vying for the Golden Boot? The January window has to have Daws signing 2 decent CH and a striker at the very least. I thought that Mas had his best game since Feb for us last night and I can only hope that goal gives him the confidence to kick on score a few and get his move out in January. The last 2 games against tarts and St J both have been there for the taking and we’ve bombed, now it’s down to Saturday against the Midden who’ll be physical and take liberties on tackles and Alfred has to instill the positivity of the first 65 minutes for the whole 95 on Saturday and a win, nothing else will do or it’s adios Alfred for me. I’ll be there Saturday and hope we can get a few “stand up and sing” Last chance saloon Alfred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
