We also have to make sure we adopt the right attitude. We should be confident going into games but know that we need to perform like yesterday against every team. If we can beat Dundee away that sets us up for a cracker of a match at Home to Dundee utd. Similar to Hearts we gifted them them the points in the first game but again they didn’t look anything special and we should be looking for revenge. However, getting ahead of myself, let’s focus on Dundee game first and foremost. COYW

It truly was a team performance and not 11 individuals as we have seen many weeks.

Just watched Shields goal on the Twitter link. FFS almost had to sub him after the celebration

I’m on here because this is where I get to talk about the games. No Saturday nights at the pub dissecting the games blow by blow. Luckily I can focus on the discussions I like and let the other stuff slide. But today’s game was such a joy to watch and every player deserves a pat on the back. Similarly though for some of the stuff served up this season there has been some flak. I did notice on one of the sound clips Alexander admitted he got a lot wrong in the Rangers game so fair do’s to him for that. He’s certainly fixed it over the last 2 games and especially today.

When you can dominate the team sitting in third spot as much as we did today and they had only 1 defeat to their name, no reason to fear any team. However, we have to repeat that level of performance every week.

I’m agreeing with you. When the guy was through first half but couldn’t control it could have been a chance but wasn’t. When the guy had the ball in the box but Lamie stripped him, could have been a chance but wasn’t. Although Boyce did have a chance in second half but it it straight at Kelly. On the other hand Gordon had several great stops to deny us more goals.

Well maybe, almost had chances but not quite.

Enjoyed that today. Terrific effort and playing as a team. What a difference when you press as a team and not just a couple of individuals. We looked as though we had a connection between defense and midfield and then midfield to attack. I kept waiting on us letting up but we came out second half and just kept right on doing what was working. Winning 4-0 wouldn’t have flattered us. More of the same please!!!

Lamie has been so much better this season

Well done MOTHERWELL. Great performance.

Yessssssssssssss

Ned to get another goal

Good half. Not silky soccer but excellent pressing.

Yaaaassss

Watt needs to stop fkn divin

Looking forward to this game. I know! Some people never learn.

Well played Stephen O’Donnell. Another fine game for Scotland. Read some amount of shite spouting forth on face book, pre match. Half the fkn idiots not even aware that Patterson was suspended. Maybe they need to sort themselves out before talking crap about others.

Will Ojala be fit?

I’m assuming he aggravated groin strain he got a couple of weeks ago?

Gave it to KVV for 2 goals and not getting sent off. When their guy went marauding up that right wing in first half, KVV actually had the sense not to stick his foot in and pulled back.

Difference today was that we didn’t shoot ourselves in the foot. We had a damn good try at it a few times but managed not to. Next game against Hearts which is not beyond us winning. We gifted them 2 goals at Tynecastle. If we can avoid the self destruct button we have a decent chance.

I also like O’Donnell and I do think he is a good player. However, I’d say he is going through a run of bad form. That’s said as a comparison of how good he can be and not as a comparison to other players. Mugabi has played well enough to merit maintaining a starting spot in that position but remains to be seen what GA decides for the hearts game.

Well Bevis has given GA that problem to deal with. Does he drop him after another good display in that position? Im still not keen on McGinley. Dare we put Lamie there or is Lamie only reliable at middle o defense? I prefer Carroll over McGinley but obviously GA doesnt. Hard to argue with top 6 placing after away win at Aberdeen, 2 games into second round of fixtures.

Credit to Lamie coming on and playing well. He’s looked solid this season so far. Bevis again having a good game at right back. Woolery contributed well when he came on to take pressure off the defense and we managed the last 10 mins pretty well. If only we can fix the midfield. Did see a wee bit more from Goss this week so maybe he will continue to contribute more as each game goes by. Thought O’Hara put in a power of work but still no “football” from the midfield and still too many slack passes but certainly more tolerable when you get the 3 points.

Didn’t think we would last 90 with 11 players.
