Probably the key is getting an early first goal. If we can do that then we may get a few more.

I’d like to see Scott start getting some goals on a regular basis. He’s got great control and Looks very confident on the ball if he can start adding some goals he’ll be a terrific player for us.

Including your post (and mine)

Well let’s face it whoever they put there it’s not like the end result can be much worse than what’s been served up these past few years

I’d be interested to see what is penalty saves percentage really is. Over to you now stats geeks and for extra kudos and recognition how does his record compare to the overall percentage?

Don’t remember a goalie ever saving so many penalties.

Looked to me like Donnelly gave him a fore arm smash while they were running ...... and then fell on him

Definitely red card. Bad performance but 3 points in the bag.

Riding our luck

We need another goal and their heads will go down

Well done goalie. We need to tighten up and actually keep the ball when we get it

We are looking pretty dodgy

Missed the first 20 mins but sounds like only thing I missed was Cole’s sitter. Hope we can create a lot more chances the second half and of course not much use in making them without converting some of them.

That was easy

Chance to move back into 3rd spot if Aberdeen drop any points.

Normal service to be resumed. St. Johnstone 1-3 Motherwell Is this on live stream for MFCTV? COYW!

Pleasantly surprising lack of OTT reactions. Perhaps realizing that we are improving but still prone to lapses in concentration. I think that is the main difference between the likes of Celtic and the rest of the teams. Perfect example being Leicester City, they didn’t win EPL because they suddenly began to play like Barcelona, they became champions because they managed to cut out all of the stupid run of the mill mistakes that average teams make week in and week out. Not an easy thing to do but how many more points would we have if we could eradicate our mistakes?

Looks as though we thought we had won it when we scored. Lost the effort and focus. Perhaps due in part to the manager subbing Polworth? Carrol’s first card was a yellow. Not borderline red. The second was a foul never a yellow. He was putting his foot up but then pulled out as the county player came in

shite

Terrible ref

Nice goal

Missed most of the first half but looking at bbc stats seems fairly even. Just saw replay and I didn’t see much going on at our disallowed goal. Although I’m the little that I did see the Ross county players are very good at falling over. Touch in the back and over they go.

I’ll take any kind of win but hoping it’s another good showing with 3 or 4 goals and some good football. COYW. Same starting 11 as started last week?

Hope the good team turns up tomorrow. With Aberdeen playing Livingston and Killie at Celtic, Good chance to give us some extra breathing space if we can take all 3 points. Maybe a wee bit of payback for them dumping us out the cup last year. Be interesting to see if they come and sit back or actually play an open game. If they do sit back I hope we can break them down early.

The next few games will let us know how good we are. No point in beating “big city” teams if we can’t beat the “smaller” teams. Having said that I would expect our performances to be inconsistent but at the same time if we are a good team the bad games will hopefully be few and far between
