The only positive I can take out of this game is that considering how bad we were we only got beat 2-1. So if we can actually improve then we might have a decent season. We are obviously not physical enough so we will have to learn how to play possession. As recently mentioned we have to reproduce the performance we saw in the first 20 mins against Celtic. Let’s hope Hylton and Seedorf are quick learners and that we make use of their speed by playing through balls for them to run onto behind the defense.

My optimism has taken a severe beating.

We have got to stop having Dunne launch 60 yard balls up the field. I was going to say passes but at best they are 50/50 balls and hearts are getting most of them. It’s basically just giving the ball to the other team time after time

Not getting much from Hylton or Seedorf.

Finally video working. COYW

Did I miss a pk?

I went ahead and paid and will contact them to make sure I don’t pay twice But quality is atrocious and back up player not working

You got Motherwell tv stream ok?

Anyone got issues with Motherwell tv? Asking for payment but telling my subscription auto renews at next subscription date Aug 25 th

I’m hoping to see a good bit more from Hylton and Seedorf tonight. Love to see Scott bang a few goals tonight...... ok anyone on our team but I think a couple of goals would get him off and running for a great season in the league.

You stick to your own stuff

According to my weather app it looks like a really nice evening for a game? Or at least the first half! And it won’t be raining in my living room so I’ll be watching the game. Oooops I mean working from home.

I think we are going to win this one

Not sure I’d pick the Hearts game to put him back in anyway. Wasn’t it against them that he picked up the injury? Don’t want him playing with anything going on in his head.

My view after the game was “ how the hell did we get beat 5-2”? Of course steel boy pretty much outlined why but I wouldn’t blame Campbell for the free kick goal. The wall Set up gave Griffiths a clear view of the goal. I’ll put that down to Gillespie. Having said that I don’t understand some posts wondering if he should be dropped!! Not even close to having that conversation.

Scott gets my vote for starter

I know it’s goals that count and despite some valid points re the wingers, some obvious individual errors etc I think we can take some encouragement from the stats. Do we normally have 11 shots against Celtic? Do we normally manage 50/50 possession? Do teams normally score with 100% of their shots on goal? Yes, we have to stop goals and score goals but I think we have more to build on than the previous seasons and I am expecting a much better season than of late from the aspect of entertainment and results.

Yes, that’s the first time I’ve really seen Gallagher and I’m wondering how we managed to get him. He looks very good. Especially our newer forwards got easily outmuscled that’s where I think Scott has the edge and he fared much better strength wise. I’d like to see us persevere with him as a starter

From what we have I’d agree. Never seen anything so far this season to warrant him not starting.

I’m with you. Lot of people for giving it a go and the risk is you pay for that. Made some errors and got punished severely for it. Quite a step up for some of our new players. I’m thinking some overly negative reactions so far. We played some good stuff in spells and I think the likes of Hylton and siedorf will get better as they get used to the level. We started of very well but just couldn’t maintain our passing accuracy as the game went on. I’m not overly worried and think we are in better shape than we were at this point last year.

Dreadful from donnelly

Need to get back to better passing

Makes for more entertaining games which is good as long as we win our fair share

At least we look like a football team. Some good passing move but Siedorf looks a bit light weight and I think Hylton neeeds to relax a wee bit. He seems a bit tense.

Agree on both counts
