Kmcalpin Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 In our situation, a defeat is a defeat end of. It really doesn't matter whether Aberdeen's goal came in the first or last minute the result would have been the same. As with games against the gruesome twosome just glad its out of the way. Hopefully Bowman's injury wasn't bad. Certainly a lot better than 7-2. Now we can get down to the real business of appointing the new manager.

Welldaft Mk1 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 The Pack has become The Battle of the Bottom 4. I don't think Dundee are out of it by any stretch. I am sure someone posted they have by far the hardest run in to the split. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 A late kick in the haw maws. Was the kick on Cadden as dramatic as our MFC radio commentators were suggesting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welldaft Mk1 Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Another late goal shocker, something's never change. I see Inverness score a late equaliser, and Kilmarnock a late winner. Maybe we need tae tell our player that we should play tae the final whistle, that seems to be what other teams do. And Robinson can forget it, he's had his chance and "failed". Glad your no my boss. Is a last minute goal conceded not by any stretch better than conceding 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Moult this week and another raft of cards today, means almost weekly suspensions will be kicking in added to injuries , every point will be a battle for whoever makes the squad in the remaining games , lads better be up for it Aye, which was why it was doubly annoying to have 2 players booked last week for mouthing off to the ref at Killie's pen.

Clackscat Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 Despite a more positive display, it is ultimately another defeat.Aye but ffs a huge improvement from a 7-2 humping...good god if the criteria for success as a mwell manager is avoiding defeat at Adeen then we will be going through managers at a hell of a rate. Massive injury list, some playing no doubt not fully fit, an organised, disciplined and gutsy performance and still the barbs come, all from a team who have been rank previously displaying none of the above. ....but we got beat so Robinson 'failed' ....bewildering.

Spiderpig Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 As much as it is an improvement on 7-2 it's a point lost we are fecking crap at seeing games out and holding what we have that's why we are in this position. At the end of the day we might have played better and improved as a team but we still got no points and where we are in the league points are the priority so for me i would rather have a shit performance and a point over a brave effort and feck all to show for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So although we had a load booked it's not put anyone on the cusp of a suspension. Heneghan is already suspended next week so the yellow card makes no real difference unless he pick a up 5 more.

Kmcalpin Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 And Robinson can forget it, he's had his chance and "failed". I don't know if he's had his chance and failed Jim, but I'd say his brief spell in charge (so far) has been inconclusive. I don't really know what the Directors can take from his 2 games in charge.

Andy_P Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 We are allowed to credit our team after a good performance you know. Which it very much was. At times I think some of our fans give the impression they aren't happy unless they are twisting the knife into themselves little further. Very unfortunate not to have earned a point. Sure Aberdeen were dominant. I would have expected no less. But our organisation, our desire, commitment and work rate was tremendous. Heneghan put in as good a display in a Motherwell jersey as he's ever done. McHugh organised the back line largely very well. Samson made some terrific stops but they had to work hard to carve out those opportunities. We got very little from the referee. Some of the bookings were a joke. It was laughable to see him stand six feet away from Aberdeen players pissing about after they had the lead after we were getting booked for hesitating at a throw in. We werent up in there box too many times sure but that wasn't through a lack of trying. An unfortunate result but a very creditable performance in my mind and lots of positives to take even in a gutting loss. I hadn't actually really considered Robinson as a possibility as manager but on the back of the last couple of games I'm becoming more intrigued to see what he can do with the team, at least in the short term. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont get me wrong I am frustrated as anyone at the late goal but teams in our position dont usually turn overnight into a team that can take a point or better away from the current 2nd place team in the league so for now I will take the better performance and the confidence it will generate Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfc Posted March 11, 2017 Report Share Posted March 11, 2017 it always gets said when there's an easier looking run of fixtures coming up and especially with games running out but with st johnstone,hamilton,thistle and inverness,4 of our next 5 games,3 of which are at home,we simply need to start winning theses types of games or we will be in even more trouble than we are now.

I don't really know what the Directors can take from his 2 games in charge. How about an away win and a narrow defeat away to the 2nd best side in the league. I am not saying give the job to Robinson, but if anyone seriously thinks these past 2 results are not better than losing 7-2 away and 5-1 at home need a happy pill. Even my Aberdeen supporting colleague said we were a world away from the last performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my Aberdeen supporting colleague said we were a world away from the last performance. It would be hard not to improve on those 2 results Iain. Unless there are things going on behind the scenes, I'd tend to disregard these 2 latest results in assessing his suitability. It seems like we defended for pretty much 90 (95) minutes today without really troubling Aberdeen at all. As we all know in that situation, theres only going to be one outcome. How many shots did we have on target today? I could thole that had we sneaked a 1-0 win but we didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Cut off your reply at the appropriate point , yes we are humans but the harsh reality we are in points make prizes so we need to ensure that if we don't win the game we at least don't lose it. And that's where our problem is, we are absolutely dreadful at seeing games out ,and if we were we would be at least 3 or 4 points better off. Whatever way you look at it losing a goal in the 92nd mins is a bad performance and that's what we need to improve on if we want to stay in the league.
