Didn't work for Kilmarnock 😉

No, for the simple reason when clubs like us are on the verge of something decent it's taken from us. Sportsound last night had already started the chat about Jens being taken from us. So enjoy it while it lasts because it will be fleeting.

And a game live on PPV TV, surprised we picked this one for one of our live UK broadcasts. I'll be disappointed if we don't get 10000 on Saturday , Hearts have sold 4600 tickets.

Well that was a surprising line up. But you know I didn't even concern myself with it . That's how much belief I have in the managers tactics and reading of the opposition and his team selection. That's us now played everyone and no one has been better than us over the 90 mins of any of the league games. We should fear absolutely no one. Tonight was a sheer pleasure to watch, what a game Priestman had. I would like the job of picking from that squad these days. Also a big shout out to Koutroumbis for that quite incredible interception to prevent Hibs getting on back. Had a fiver on us to win 3-0 but cashed out at £18. The cash out got to £28 but fell like a stone from 70th minute.

The increased attendances have been the biggest impact this season. I used to despair that we were stuck at 3500/4000 for home support. It had been at that level for years. Just shows if you give the punters something to enjoy and get behind they will respond. Being so close to Christmas I don't think we will hit the 7000 mark. Think 6000 is more like it for a midweek game. Get a good result tonight the crowd on Saturday could be a 15 year high. Been many a year since we were getting these numbers

Hibs have a very good record at Fir Park, it could go either way, Hibs are capable of being absolute pish or pretty decent.

Him with the painted hair (Boyle) is always a danger.

I know I am getting ahead of myself but if we could win our next two games and Jambos lose at Aberdeen today we are just 6 points behind Hearts , we join the title race 😁😉

Even going forward I think he's faded a bit , he rarely goes by his man these days.

Apart from a 15 wobble after they scored we deserved that. We mixed up the play a wee bit to to break up Killies attempt at the high press in the second half. Defensively we were solid . The penalty came at the right time and settled us down. Don't know whats happened to Longello but he's a shadow of the player he's been.

It's because it feels that way, painful defeats remain in the memory longer than run of the mill wins. So you are correct if we looked at it with real analysis it probably isn't the case. Now the one where we generally lose when we get a big crowd coming out is true 😜

Ex players ?? Craigan by chance , he gets on my fuckin nerves ..

Thankfully we've already proven we can win on plastic this season. Kilmarnock are really quite poor but you are correct this will not be an easy game , our record over the last few years down there is not great. Might be wrong but think we've only won once down there in 6 years.

If we maintain our current level of points per game we'd be on 45 points at the split that's a baw hair away from the points needed to be to 6. That would be a terrific outcome considering the huge transformational changes the club and the manager are trying to achieve.

Generally around 45/50 and our current return in points if maintained wouldn't have us far away from that

How the hell we shelled out a lot of money ( well for us) on Stama is farcical.

I stand corrected , it's 3, the Hearts game just felt like a defeat 😁

I was including the result from last week that should never be mentioned again.

Oh I can't say I didn't enjoy it. There are just things we need to sharpen up. However that won't be a surprise to players or the manager.

If that's them improved fuck me they must have been bad. I thought Aberdeen were absolute garbage today that's my frustration about the result. However we didn't lose and sets us up for the pain in the arse international break.

Correct , that's my biggest grip about today, the pace was so fuckin slow. However our accuracy figures for passing was 89%. With that kind of accuracy we restrict the oppositions chance to dominate us. As much as I think we do need to speed it up how far would our passing accuracy fall. Could be a double edged sword.

In outfield play we were but very frustrating today because Aberdeen are pish. Our build up play is far too slow. We need to inject some pace into it. That said we do that the passing accuracy falls , so could be a double edged sword. I must be getting greedy in my old age. I remember the days I'd have been delighted with a point at Pittodrie. I could be convinced it was a point gained but could also be convinced it was two points dropped cos Aberdeen are utter shite. All said n done 4 defeats in 18 games is still well in the positive side for ANY Motherwell team.

It just felt like 4-0 😬

I'm sure we will and I'm sure we won't when we can't defend.

My thoughts exactly , watched it , and St Mirren played exactly the same way as they did against us and Hibs contained them without breaking sweat. The so called Steven Robinson masterclass that never was.
