No failures tonight and numerous players could have been considered for MOTM. Casey obviously caught the eye with his 2 goals and a couple of his mazy runs, but he was at fault for their goal. SOD, Thompson, Miller and Andrews all had really good games. Paton looked sharp off the bench and got an assist for the second goal. Voted for Armstrong as he was an absolute nuisance to Dundee all night, won some amount of balls in the air, and showed some really decent footwork at times under pressure. I like him!

Wasnt intending going to this. Now tempted......

Great result tonight, building nicely on Saturdays performance. The higher intensity football is so much better to watch and you get the feeling the players are enjoying themselves more as well. No failures tonight. Everyone put in a shift and earned more than pass marks. Thought we controlled it first half and limited Dundee to virtually nothing. Dont remember Balcombe having to make a save. Second half they changed their system and got more control of the ball and you felt that the goal was coming as Miller and Halliday started to tire. Thought the subs gave us some impetus back and it was nice to see us finish strongly and get the winning goal. Wimmer is impressing me so far. We start games well and on the front foot and his in game changes improve us. Looking forward to how he deals with a trip to Ibrox.....

INTENSITY! INTENSITY! PRESS! PRESS! PRESS! 😍😍😍

Hopefully the bring a friend for £3 adds numbers as well. Im certainly bringing someone along so hopefully others will do the same. Even if we just get 200 - 300 more it will help. Thats less than 10% of ST holders need to bring someone. Hopefully thats achievable.

100% cannot afford to lose this game or we are in deep shit. A win gives the new manager some breathing space to figure things out and keeps us in touch with the top 6. It really couldnt be any more important.

What is the story with him? He has been absent from squads but with no explanation of what happened to him or how long he will be out?

That would be very disappointing. Any substance to these rumours? Or is it idle speculation?

Aye fair enough. Keep forgetting fitba has moved on! I suppose it makes the "having a manager who knows the league" argument a bit redundant!

What rumours?

We could definitely do with some updates on the outside investment opportunities, if only to keep the narrative under our control. We have some good people with skills and expertise on both the Well Society and Executive Boards now who are more than capable of increasing our revenue streams. I just get very frustrated when I see posts that dont take any account of how much change has occurred in the last 12 months on both counts. (Again not directing that at your good self).

It would certainly take away his freedom to concentrate on the creative side of his game. Not sure if Wimmer will be well enough briefed at this point to put someone on Cameron man for man, be interesting to see. More likely he will concentrate on our game and try and make us the best version of ourselves we can be.

To be fair to our support, I didnt hear any negativity at the game yesterday. They stayed with the team and provided the appropriate encouragement for the full 90 mins and applauded the teams efforts at the end. It felt clear to me that the majority who made the journey were encouraged by the improvement shown in energy and application and that for now at least, that will do....

Aye it was. In possession at least. Sparrow and Maswanhise both pushed up in support of Armstrong. Out of possession it was more of a 5-3-2 I think.....

For me Miller is the 6. The defensive part of his game is often ignored. He has grown in stature this season and looks much physically stronger. He reads the game well and is well up the league stats for interceptions. Add in that he is also the best passer of the ball we have and he is the most suited to the role that we have. Getting it right in front of him is equally important for me. We need willing runners hitting the right spaces for him to find. That part was a bit better yesterday, but there is still much work to do.

Thought Koutroumbis had a very decent game. Begs the question why he wasnt played earlier in the season. Sparrow put in a real shift and Maswanhise was a handful until he ran out of steam and had to be subbed. For me though MOTM was Dan Casey. Put his body on the line repeatedly and proved why he should bever have been dropped by the previous regime.

Motherwell win. More progress. Confidence boosted.

Im guessing the majority of posters on here werent at the game today as I feel I was watching something totally different from everyone else. First half I thought we competed well enough and were much less passive than under Kettlewell. We werent as composed on the ball as we might have been but we still created a few chances with Maswanhise in particular coming very close. United had more possession but the goal apart, which could have been defended better, they didnt threaten us that much. Second half was much better. We controlled the ball more and put pressure on the United defence and they had to put bodies on the line to keep us out. United did create some chances on the break but Balcombe and our defence dealt with it for the most part. Yes we lost the game today, but it was far more entertaining to watch and I left with a hope and a belief that things are going ro get better. Thats lightyears ahead of the way Ive felt for most of the season. The performance was far from perfect and all our weaknesses and deficiencies are still there for all to see. But if folks dont think that was an improvement today? I dont know what to say. PS Lennon Miller maybe wasnt great today in a creative sense. But he worked his socks off and his interceptions were absolutely vital at times. He dealt with Alan Campbell physically to the extent Campbell was substituted. Maybe cut the boy some slack and appreciate what he does bring instead of what he didnt today.

Not picking on you individually, but this thought process rips ma knitting. It doesnt matter whether the Well Society own the club or a multi billionaire. We still have to live within our means. Billionaires dont become billionaires by giving away their money. They only lend it to football clubs in the form of loans that require to be paid back. Kettlewell had plenty of money to spend, regardless of how he made out that he didnt. He just didnt spend it as wisely as he might have. Thats why we are running a 34 man squad. Obviously, if the Society can bring in more outside investment, that will be welcome. But we still have to spend it properly. Same with any money we make off Lennon Miller. There are ways to grow a football club even at our level. If we start by not pissing it up a wall it will be a good start!

Bit Celtic-y! 😆😆😆

We're The Steelmen, The Mighty Steelmen, We're here to scrap & fight, (Repeat) Oooh, ooh, ooh, ooh ooh The Wimmer Way (Repeat) The Wimmer Way! The Wimmer Way! The Wimmer Way!

The one I always remember is Karl Higgingbottom for Partick Thistle. Not really sure what that was all about. Dont remember him getting that much of a hard time when he was our player......

Hope not. Id have to tear a piece of my clothing.

Looks more like Ben Kingsley in Sexy Beast!

Have you ever considered a career in refereeing? 😆😆😆
