For me St Mirren came for a point. They defended very deep and in numbers and posed very little attacking threat but we didn’t have the nous to take advantage. We huffed and we puffed but the final pass just wouldn’t come. On a side note I can’t see why Palmer-Houlden gets into the side ahead of Bjorgolfsson who caused St. Mirren’s giant defensive orks more trouble in 15 minutes than Palmer-Houlden did in 75 minutes and was unlucky not to score from nothing. Really? I thought that is as well as we've played all season (finishing apart). Still room for improvement but I enjoyed the way we played today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were all over them for most of the game, a poor 15 min spell in the 1st half but in all reallity we should have been 2 maybe 3 goals up at half time, we played great football and dominated them. St Midden offered feck all for the whole game , kick and chase hoofball, falling down at every opportunity, and constantly fouling and breaking up the play. We were the only team trying to win the game today and we got a well deserved 3 points, so all in all there was a lot to warm the cockles, a great performance, 3 points, and some key players back from injury.

Welly Machine Posted 56 minutes ago Report Share Posted 56 minutes ago Relieved to get the 3 points, maybe a break with the penalty? Haven't seen it back but fully deserved all the same. Thought we played well an there were signs of improvement again besides finishing. Great to see Priestman back, pretty much improved us immediately.

Scarecrow Posted 49 minutes ago Report Share Posted 49 minutes ago Today was our best performance since the first half an hour in Paisley in August. Game should have been put to bed by 3.15pm. Credit to all for keeping going and getting the result Had VAR not intervened and today had ended up a draw, or even worse, then the manager would have been copping some amount of flak on here tonight. But he can't be blamed for strikers who can't hit a horses erse with a banjo. Let's just take it and move forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also funny seeing the guy trying to hide his arm after it.🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherwell Daft Posted 22 minutes ago Report Share Posted 22 minutes ago Great result today, 3pts well deserved as St Midden offered nothing, we should have been 3-0 up by 25minutes and that wouldn’t have flattered us, lost a bit of steam towards the middle of the second half but a stick on penalty for me from the Cooper. What is our fascination for attacking down the right when the best attacking player bus country mile stands all on his own on the left, the time we use him we get chances created…forget trying to get Mas to try n best players just get it to Longo and then Mas might get a cross box ball…simples Alfred please take note! ksnga offered nothing today which was disappointing and I agree with some posters that Thor deserves a run of starts to see his true potential, Seb reminds me at times of Big Ryan Bowman, ran about like a looney n offered nothing other than a lot, gotta give Thor a chance, he almost got the second with the header from 12inches off the ground. A decent performance, chances created but powder puff up front, the rot is stopped let’s use that confidence now to go on a mazy run of games! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
