Stevie88 Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 We’re simply not good enough & will be relegated come the end of the season, what an utter shambles of a season. The boy Hastie for Motherwell looks a fantastic talent. He’s lightening quick & scored a superb goal. After we conceded the second goal the players completely chucked it, embarrassing. Dundee United are a great price for Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Was surprised by the way St Mirren set up for the first 20mins. Anyone who has watched us in recent weeks know that our wingers are key. Thought we were excellent for the opening spell, but once St Mirren changed things they had two great chances (with a top save from Gillespie preventing the equaliser).Second half was fairly even but always thought we looked very dangerous on the break. Two great goals scored tonight and Hastie looks a cracking talent.On St Mirren, thought they lacked anything at all upfront, with the number 9 looking poor. Ferdinand looks done (loved it when he picked the ball up having thought it had went out!) but the number 16 at the back looks decent enough. We allowed him acres of space to run forward into, which is a worry and better teams will punish us. Wasn’t a huge amount between the teams from a chances perspective, but thought we looked a far more talented team and used the ball a lot better.Great three points, but the best bit is the youngsters coming through who look the business!

Gianfranco Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 That was a really good game of football. The hoofball is long gone and young Motherwell are great to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 On Ferdinand picking up the ball, some fanny in the St. Mirren support had blown a whistle a few seconds earlier, I assume claiming St. Mirren should have had a foul awarded. I'd also heard it a few minutes earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwellhighland Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 In less than 2 weeks we've accumulated the same number of points as St Mirren have all season! I don't think I'll be able to relax until Hastie has signed a new contract. What a talent - he'll be playing in the English Premier League one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Tonight was definitely crucial for us and once again we come up short. It’s been a huge struggle all season and the end of the road for our slim hopes of staying up. We can’t defend and we are toothless up front, a bad combo for any side fighting relegation. Motherwell were like most teams at this level, better physically and much more streetwise. The first goal was touch of class and that kid looks a fantastic talent. I lost count of how many times Motherwell found the big striker and played off the second ball. We just look like a team with no real purpose and a total lack of belief or conviction.

Biscuits Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Had high hopes for the duck but sadly he looks about the same level as the rest of the team. We’re fucked I’m afraid - no chance of staying up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: FAO @Al B The stand-out moment of those highlights is the highly audible "f**k Sake!" from a St Mirren supporter between Frear crossing and Campbell nodding the winner. Textbook.

Silvio Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hastie's shot was unstoppable but the half hearted attempts at stopping him from S McGinn and Muzek... This team has no fight, no heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyRoss Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Special mention for the Main Stand side assistant who awarded us a corner in the final five minutes despite the ball being about three yards away from going out. The officials still surprise me on a weekly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were more bemused because it looked as though the referee gave it despite being much further away than the linesman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
