Being safe with a few games to go and becoming spectators in the relegation battle was beyond any Motherwell supporter's wildest dreams in mid-feb - so today's win was sweet and Kettlewell (and whoever signed a functioning defence in January) deserves tons of credit. On where we go from here - I'll be interested to see how Utd react to today's results - as it looked like they were gliding away from trouble and they're suddenly back in a very precarious position. In saying that - having seen them in consecutive home games - Utd look levels above Killie to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was convinced we'd do well for 11th but since our transformation my prediction has been Killie 12th, united in the playoffs. It's really too close to call and will come down to fine margins but United, facing the other pair at home and being at FP when we're on the beach, really need to f**k it up from here to end day 38 in bother.

Sarto Mutiny Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I thought we'd win today, which shows what I know. Huge pressure on next week's game, given Kilmarnock are very likely to beat Livingston 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livingston seem to have stopped completely weeks ago, who knows what we'll do now effectively safe etc. I still think the fixtures give United an edge overall but it only takes one upset to tip the whole applecart. Can only say it's fantastic viewing when you're not in the middle of it, I'm very much enjoying this position for a few months! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or potentially, as looks likely based on yesterday, contribute absolutely nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notable standouts there are us and obviously Aberdeen. Tremendous turnarounds and no wonder they were the teams to confirm the interim managers. Wasn’t really paying attention to the top end of the table as much but for some reason Livi really shat the nest post World Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Just watching the highlights of theSt Johnstone vs Dundee United game. United’s keeper is comfortably the worst in the league, but I can’t help but feel that the referee did United a favour by sending off Mulgrew. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 10 matches since that table above, Motherwell have 20 points from 10 games whilst Livingston have just 7 points from 10 games. Aberdeen have 19 points from only 8 matches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time Mulgrew plays, he looks the second worst player on the pitch. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t there but I gather White bullied Mulgrew rotten in the last fixture, so maybe it would be better having Mulgrew on the field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously i am only going on highlights etc, but mulgrew seemed to be at the heart of what was wrong with united defensively all season. For maybe the majority of the goals, he seemed to play a part in them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dundee Hibernian Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Fo me, Mulgrew has played a season too long, and I'm not overconcerned about his suspension, but an Edwards and Ayina partnership doesn't fill me with confidence as they both favour their right side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Edwards the other guy that has been in the defence most of the season, when I have seen them he has been outstandingly poor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Yeah, edwards has been beside him for most of the season as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Yesterday's performance worried me a lot, it was as insipid a performance as we have seen since Liam Fox left. Play like that next week against Ross County and we are in a world of trouble. Again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buchan30 Posted May 7, 2023 Share Posted May 7, 2023 It’s a tough one to call. United seemed to have had an upturn in form in general despite yesterday. County and killie seem to be able to pick up a result as well. It is going to take something dramatic for saints to be dragged into it, i think yesterdays result sees them safe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First goal is so important, County looked nervous as feck, so were their fans, you could feel it sitting in the stands, as soon as they scored everything changed, both on and off the pitch they became a lot more confident, then when the 2nd went in the place was buzzing. Prob the same for Utd, whoever goes behind will find the pressure affecting their play. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
