Honest Saints Fan Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 A lot of people have written Motherwell off this season. I think they will finish second, not too annoyed with the result as it was definitely expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mikey Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Our away form is of relegation material but our home form is of Europa league quality. Brilliant one week shite the next. Motherwell are far from a 4-0 humping better than us. Keep our appalling away record up and we will struggle for the top six. candalan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 At least the games come thick & fast this time of year so a chance to bounce back against Cunty. Don't tell Radford but away form is starting to be a worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mikey Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Ill forecast a defeat at County. They always seem to raise their game against us at Dingdongs. Hopefully I'm totally wrong and our away form gets much much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerthSeany Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Our usual problem. Cannot cope with the tall striker & the long ball... Kept giving the ball away. MacDonald. Please have a new years resolution to not be shit. That would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Bottom 6 after 2moro. Thank feck for Jackie Mac or it would have been 1 point in 6 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babychunder Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 None of our defenders shone today, I was annoyed at Wright for giving so much possession away with lumps up the park, Stevie would have needed a trampoline to win any high balls, then when Fallon comes on we start playing it on the deck, FFS.

dave mc Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Not for the first time our back four and centre midfield struggled with pace and movement.We looked flat footed all over the pitch, cb's bullied all game by Sutton and Anier, not a good defensive display, and in hindsight Midge buzzing about in centre might have been better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with Wright giving the ball away... Midfield had no interest or ability to take the ball short and pick a forward pass. Cregg did that well at United. Fallon came on and obviously had a point to prove... Did alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 That was poor overall, yet we were in the game after weathering Motherwell's good start and came close to taking the lead. Some good play and touches by Gwion in poor conditions. At half time I could see a way back for us. The game drifted away from us as they took the upper hand in the second half and we eventually were a very poor second, more so as the game progressed. Motherwell are very quick with the ball and move well. Maybe TW could have our guys watch the match DVD over and over to see how it's done. They did to us what we did to United. Might struggle to remain in top six. Even the Midden are closing in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ghost of Jim Morton Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Brutal, simply ****ing brutal. We were ( in no specific order) turgid, lacklustre, tactically naive, second to nearly every ball, pish, clueless, out thought , out fought and out played.. I have seen some dismantlings before but that today was right up there.. WE WERE OWNED!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rik2304 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Could be out of the top 6 tomorrow. Unless Jambos can pull off something remarkable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Christmas Jones Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Well that was utter p!sh. Thanks to Royster for almost cheering me up. Some of the worst defending I ve ever seen. At least drink might dull the pain on Saturday if we play like that. The ghost of Jim Morton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley saint Posted January 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Gutless, lacklustre and it looked they were hungover. Thought Scott Brown played well. stevie may tried but was given sh##e balls all game. Gwion had a good few runs. The rest were garbage The ghost of Jim Morton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Liam Caddis should be in the team and not out on loan. Worried about TW.4 games in 10 days' Millar injured Muzz injury prone and he let's a midfielder who I think should be in the team playing right mid out on loan.

Radford 72 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 Motherwell did start like a train today but we were incredibly slow out of the blocks. That early string of set pieces - including the one from which everyone thought McManus had scored - was scary viewing and I said at that point that this had gubbing written all over it. But we actually settled and in the next 10 minutes were probably on top and were in the situation where we had an attacking free kick in a dangerous area. So up steps Wotherspoon and as has been the case virtually always in the past few matches, he hits a dreadful ball that Twardzik plucks unchallenged and straight away were are in trouble, then 30 seconds later we are a goal down. You could immediately see we were in bother on the right as the free kick taker, Wotherspoon, was out of position and although Scott Brown got across, Motherwell worked it well and it was a brilliant ball and the sort of finish we've seen so many times from Sutton in the past decade.  Motherwell undoubtedly had the best chance during the rest of the half when Mannus made a great save from Ainsworth and our goal did seem to lead a bit of a charmed life but we were contributing to the match and creating chances of our own. Probably didn't force Twardzik into a testing enough save to say we deserved a goal but there was still hope for the second half, especially since May's touch seemed to be in and on a couple of occasions he'd showed great skill to get away from his man and get an effort on goal.  Although Tommy Wright had lined the side up similar to Sunday and I was happy with that, the way we were pressing was causing us problems. Often one of the central players would push up to help May when Motherwell had the ball deep but all that was doing was either leaving space for a ball short to Carswell or Lasley, or if Brown had moved in to plug a gap, leaving a ball up to Sutton that he was winning most of the day. The number of times a kick from Mannus was returned with a simple header putting us in trouble was concerning.  The early goal at the start of the second half was always going to sap us a bit but we kept plugging away for a while, the third killed it stone dead though, although in truth we'd fizzled out when Fallon was introduced. Please no more of him. Please. The second goal wasn't great for Scobbie but with five in midfield, why is nobody helping him? Wright then has to go out to Ainsworth (seeing Angol's goal at Firhill for example of why) but Ainsworth was going at such pace that he was never going to stop him, other than giving away a penalty. Motherwell in truth probably deserved the break in front of goal for Vigurs such was the similar situations they'd had in the first half.  The pace and running of Ainsworth obviously catches the eye but nearly always the final ball was the right one and that was huge for Motherwell, who always appear so clinical against us. Hopefully Lee Croft, when he eventually gets fit, can provide that sort of impact for us as for all Edwards tried hard again and I'd be happy to see him stay, he doesn't pick the right pass or option in dangerous areas. Wotherspoon on the other side looks absolutely drained of confidence too and wouldn't be surprised if he misses out on Saturday. Thought the biggest issue in the centre of the park, where we were three against two was them pressing as individuals rather than a team and that made it too easy for Lalsey and Carswell. Scott Brown certainly didn't disgrace himself though and the way he tried to pick forward passes was good to see.  Maybe not back to the drawing board regarding playing away but certainly it's not sorted yet and not long to work on something before Saturday. slambrother and Dr Christmas Jones 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
