Playing well today been the better team in the first half

Not many have went on to be a success elsewhere

Get a grip sometimes you have to admire the cross and movement of the forward. We got a well deserved point and performed well. Strength in depth as well finished with Carrol at CB and played all match with Cornelius who has played very little first team league games

Great result on a pitch that could have affected the game 2nd half in particular. Woolery, Watt, VV ran all day

Game being run by a 35 year old Charlie Adam if you remember the game at Fir Park Dundee were the better team until he went off injured. Can't understand why we didn't just put someone like McGuire on his coat tails all day

McGinlay and Grimshaw are worse than a man short they need replaced asap, just feel for all the supporters that travelled up there today wasted money

Second throw McGinlay takes straight to the opposition and surly we have someone other than Grimshaw cant pass to put in there.

Very quiet on here today, i'm usually a critic but come on boys our team has played great, everything i have wanted for weeks a good press. Hearts have not had a kick of the ball. Best performance this year no failures today

Best first half of the season by far every Motherwell man can be proud of this work

Frightened to say were doing well so far great pressing hope i.ve not jinxed us

Between KVV and Kelly, i went for KVV but not sure if i made the right choice, Kelly saved the game, KVV won the game

No not a case of Bevis is brilliant but results speak for themselves, I was an O'Donnell fan last year he was a big upgrade on Grimshaw who was in that position, but you have got to agree he has been no where near as effective this year. Whether that's a hang over from the Euro's and the slaughtering that he got from some parts i don't know but he will know himself that he needs to pick his game up. Nice guy and comes over well off the pitch but i don't think he is Captain material on-field.

I think last season proved Lambie is not a left back. But a decent CB

Better second half, VV two great goals with a quality ball in from Goss. Still a sore watch. We nullified Aberdeen in the second half well. Toped by a great double save from Kelly to prevent Aberdeen fightback. Well done Motherwell to break this bad run

Positive comment the two man corners have gone

I wish i had something positive to say one week, but no shots at all and will have MacGuire or VV sent off before the end

He obviously does not trust Carroll after his last appearance when he was sent off, i wonder if we will see the same with O'Donnell

Dose anyone else feel that the penny has dropped when alexander is talking about team pressing which has so far been sadly lacking with players standing so far off the opposition. Hoping for a drastic improvement this week

Unfortunately 352 just leads to playing 532 and still overrun especially if the full backs don't overlap. Also are we good enough to retain possession, if not 352 leaves huge gaps behind the wing backs for quick counter attacking teams

He's our best midfielder that's why

Yes

I see no reason why we can't expect at least a small bit of entertainment during the game after all were being told week in week out these are professional football players and good quality players if you believe our manager. So if that is the case then we should see some proof of that, i.e players that can find another Motherwell player with a pass, or perhaps take on and beat his opponent once in a while. Maybe ever a player that can put his foot on the ball and show us a bit of dribbling skills. With our player level it will always not be successful but at least give it a go. Perhaps that's why i enjoyed Van Veen's early games he was trying something different, and it was entertaining, now he just runs around flying into tackles trying to win the ball back more often than not. Watt is the only forward that looks like he can beat his man and if he's on the wing its not so easy to score. We have 3 forwards but no midfielders that can get anywhere near them, god forbid run past them, we are so slow and ponderous. No I'm not looking for Man City but we have a budget Berkamp what about trying to be a budget Man City and it starts with mentality, belief and coaching which all appear to be lacking atm.

I agree with pretty much everything said in this thread - Alex Neil was excellent in summing up out deficiencies
