  1. Can I just add that the numbers in our stand were magnificent and in fine voice all game. If we could only get those numbers every week what a team we'd have. Block E fantastic display and atmosphere as always.
  2. Oxborough for me. As little as we did create, multiple saves kept us within touching distance of them and therefore in the game.
  3. Disappointed. Not bitterly, but disappointed. We can't chase the ball for 90 minutes and expect not to run out of steam. We showed a team, low on confidence, on a poor run, with a volatile fan base far too much respect. We scored a good goal with good play then resorted to hoofball and long throws of which we won not one aerial dual. The introduction of Robinson and Tavares was baffling to say the least. Their defenders were never stretched and nothing changed with their appearances. The only time we looked remotely like troubling them second half was when we got the ball down and passed. Three or four passes would see us on the edge of their box only for us to make a mess of a cross and surrender possession cheaply. It would have been nice to have reached a final but let's face it, we'd have been destroyed by the green side. Never mind, we're after the Scottish anyway.
  4. MASSIVE 3 points, Massive. And a great result at Pittodrie ahead of Sunday. COYW!!
  5. Need to get the ball into Maswanesi as much as possible in the second half. He's causing them all sorts of problems with his pace and trickery.
  6. How do you know how big he is? Are you in the know?
  7. That was odd, he went straight down the tunnel leaving us down to 10 til half time. Surely ill rather than injured.
  8. Two rotten teams on the park today and sadly we were the worst of the two. Dundee got their noses in front and basically suffocated the game by time wasting for an hour. That said, we were miles off where we needed to be to win. With a tough few fixtures coming up we could really have done with the 3 points today. Onto next week.
  9. We've fallen out of it now. Need to get to half time and regroup
  10. We're doing ok without creating anything clear cut. We just need to move the ball quicker
  11. Just watched John Soutar handball in the 6 yard box preventing a certain goal. No action given other than the penalty. Shambles.
  12. That save with his foot was exceptional. He has looked very assured since he's come in. Certainly grabbed his opportunity with both hands.
  13. I said to my boy on the way home. That's why we do it. For nights like these. The whole experience took me right back to matches at FP with my own dad. He's now 13 and he'll have seen Motherwell at Hampden at least 5 times in that time. Not bad going.
  14. So many excellent performances all over the park. The match itself wasn't a classic but the character and workrate from our team was fantastic. Ox with a match winning save, Casey won virtually everything that was thrown into our box, a real captain's performance from P McG and as others have said young Lennon just a class above again. Really pleased for Robinson to get off the mark with a great finish from a position I thought was impossible at the time. Fingers crossed that's him on his way on the goalscoring front. Compliments also to the fans who created a real cauldron all night. The atmosphere was the best there's been in a while, orchestrated by Block E in the corner. Brilliant. Can we acknowledge that this is now a good run in the cup? COYW
  15. We've given ourselves too much of a hill to climb. Spirited performance in the last 15 minutes but overall fell short. If that Moses left footer goes in or the Casey header sneaks in we're praising the boys resilience and never say die attitude. (Well, most of us are) We played the in form team today and ran them close and I'd have taken a point happily before ko but it wasn't too be. We move on to Friday.
  16. 3 points on the road. Always welcome. It doesn't matter how you get them as long as you get them. We were dominant for large spells of the game with Stj having a 10-15 minute spell where they got their equaliser. I'd much rather we created 2 chances in a game and took them than half a dozen and not. Enjoy your Saturday night Well fans. COYW
  17. Away and 'support' some other team. Glasgow blue or green should be right up your street.
  18. Definitely not. That keeper at least came for the cross and then missed it
  19. Maswanhise will take it and rightly so but I thought that was a good team effort today. I gave it to Wilson. I was critical of him a few weeks back but I thought he was excellent today. He's growing in confidence with each passing game. Mention for Gordon also. The guy is the best CB we've had since Aldred. Wins tackles, goes to ground occasionally and rarely beaten in the air. Fantastic signing.
  20. It's the manchildren who stand with their arms crossed in utter defiance, looking all around as if to say "look at me, I'm not clapping the Judas" Grow up fs the guy actually put a decent shift in when he came on.
  21. We have created chances though albeit few against rangers. Ultimately it's been taking them that's been the problem so far. We're only 2 games in and I feel positive that we have decent firepower in the squad. Once Robinson gets off the mark I think we'll see a player there.
  22. Wee Dave having a spell on the sidelines now
