Sparrows position in team was a jba masterclass.

Brilliant and professional team performance. Made another opponent look ordinary. Onwards and upwards.

Hope we dont miss tj pace

Nothing stupid at start of 2nd Keep the ball and work them. Mind you thats not the motherwell way....

Brilliant first half. The link up play up front has been a joy to watch. Playing sparrow wide right has worked a treat. Now for once give us a 2nd half as good again please.

Wake up warning. Games not won.

That will do nicely

Soft or not. It stopped shot going on target. Good penalty

Arms out and stops shot on target

Nice dive Bowie

May as well say now. Officials are clowns.

The state of our pitch at the end of Nov.......

Agree Fads needs a rest. Think its only Watt and maybe TJ now thats played every game. Looking at the warm up. Its a back four with McGinn right back. Sparrow in midfield for his energy.

We seldom pick the same team from game to game. Probably a few more changes than i would like mind you. Perhaps the plastic pitch has had a bigger impact on recovery. Big opportunity for a few to show us what they can bring to the team. No AP again. Not very reliable. Longelo needs time on the bench as by his earlier standards he has underperformed and is weak defensively. Probably the strongest bench we ever have. So there is scope for positive changes.

Need a strong street wise referee. Does such a thing exist? Certain Hibs players like a dive in and around opponents box. So we need to be extra careful not to dangle legs or jump in. They are also quite direct. We have struggled against them home and away. Going to be a hard game. We need to be clinical and have abit of luck. Going to be interesting.

Kettlewell in full blown denial. He did not feel dominated. 65% possession for us in first half and near enough 60% full match. His goalie with a wordly save off slattery to stop 3rd and a couple of decent stops in 2nd. Whereass Ward with exception of their goal had nothing to do. As i said im sure his media mates will excuse him.

Just as well it was raining and pitch was soaking.

I understand what you are saying but i wonder what they told Miller. Who it seems only wanted to go to a team where he learns and plays. Hopefully works out for him. But any return on loan to scotland would be a backwards step.

What saves did Ward have in 2nd half? They are just deflecting to try and save their mate. Hopefully it works and Kettlewell keeps his job for abit longer as they are going backwards.

Cant disagree. Strange to say the poorer we are the more chance of picking up wins.

Think we just let him do his thing. Very entertaining. He can only get better. Needs to practice shooting tho.

TJ scored two but did little else. Said was entertaining. Watching the opposition trying to get ball of him was funny as feck. So he gets my vote for that.

The penalty came at the right time. We were struggling at that point. Still a few moments of panic but Ward did not really have much to do. Referee booking players for disent yet allows late kicks etc. Clown.

Another poor half. But will take that on that pitch and 3 points.

They foul no booking. We foul booked.
