Motherwell FC - A Thread For All Seasons

[ropy]

Excellent result yesterday, I was on a train watching the 90+ minute count increase on the bbc page, time moves slowly.

I hope the positive adrenalin from this game doesn’t affect the intensity we need to show against Dundee. A point against Celtic isn’t as effective as points from the teams around us.

Having not seen the game I don’t know if we need to decide between Bevis at the back or Butcher in the middle or if we will go with both again.  You would hope for some more attacking ambition next week.

As much as I enjoy seeing Rangers on the losing side I would prefer Aberdeen to curtail their ambitions while they are the team below us in the league.

I initially thought the before kick off before changing my mind to "f**k it, pump em Aberdeen"

I still would have picked Mandron over Obika in the summer but if he can stay fit maybe Jon can become a bit of a cult hero for us. 

 

All he really has to do is score a winner against Rangers in the league.  That'd do it!

I thought Bevis was unlucky. I thought he made a genuine attempt to play the ball and did come away with it. But he takes the boys standing leg as well so cant argue with the pen. Unlike Butcher, I dont think he could avoidthe challenge, although you could argue he shouldnt have gone to ground.

Totally agree with the rest of your post though.

Very pleasing performance and result all the more so for.it veing unexpected!

Think you're right about Bevis, at the time it looked like a bit of a wild lunge but seeing it back on the highlights he's unlucky. FWIW I thought he overall had a really good game.

Great and unexpected point. 

Still 3 points from 30 and no wins n 10 however.

2 wins from the next 4 games still an absolute must.

I'd say 3 wins from the next 4 games.

Butcher and Obika were in the same Spurs youth team too

Five points from the next four gets us back to a PPG of 1 - but given the run to come we're really needing at least seven to avoid being under huge pressure into the Xmas period.

And the Livingston game is already circled as being not for the faint of heart.

I've not felt this uninspired for the Scottish Cup draw since last year.

In the words of H from Steps

 

"5,6,7,8"

 

would do me

[JamesP_81]

First ball ..... 1 

2nd ball ......24. 

Absolutely stick on. 

[Swello]

A team we've never played/I've never seen us play, away is all I want - it's not too much to ask. Any game against Premiership or Morton would be a genuine downer (I'm sure Morton supporters would agree)
