Yorkyred Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 23 minutes ago, weeyin said: Nobody doubted his ability, the concern was that we needed to replace the pace that we lost when Kipré left. That proved to be even more cruical when Dunne got injured. The goal we conceded today is a perfect example of our lack of pace at the back. Has it really being a huge issue this season ? Take out the Rangers mauling and we have hardly been conceding bucket loads. Many of the goals against us have been down to individual mistakes, Dunn who is our quickest defender one of the biggest culprits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you only concede 1 you still need to score 2 to win. So I think it is a problem, especially since we are lacking creatively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many of those down to a lack of pace and how many individual mistakes being my point. Last two home defeats had nothing to do with lack of pace as a starter, I could go on and give a good few further examples. Defence has not being a massive problem, scoring goals has.

Shotts Well Fan Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Really pleased with performance and result. Team looked up for it. Frear's wing play was what we have missed. Great celebrations at the end. Still a few problems and players with limited ability but who cares tonight? Lets enjoy the win and hopefully we can bring in some quality in January.

The African Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Great result. Added to other results going our way and it stops the rot of recent weeks. We have been fortunate that the three teams below us are pretty dire. Januarywill be interesting. If the players we have out injured return and a few others find their form, then we do not really need to bring in too many. A couple to add genuine quality and freshen things up will probably do. Seeing who leaves will be just as interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellup83 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Campbell bossing Imrie and knocking back a handshake at 68 mins to the tune of he's one of our own. Glorious! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFCL84 Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Great 3 points when they were really needed. Well done to the team. The January window will be interesting. We definitely need to add some creativity to the side. Goals coming from set plays today, it didn't look like we'd score from open play. Frear put in plenty of crosses, but we never looked likely to get on the end of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Grew Posted December 29, 2018 Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Not easy on the eye by any stretch but more important to get the 3 points and put some clear water between us and the 3 below us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Great result. Decent performance. Not a great watch at times though. Elliott Frear was my MOTM. Good to see the passion in the team at the end. Andy Rose put in a shift considering he could have just swanned about doing nothing anaw. Funny angle on those highlights.

claretband Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Think this was my first time seeing a game on astro in the flesh, and it wasn't as bad as I expected; didn't notice any wayward bobbles etc at all. Was surprised to see it getting watered at half time! Still not a fan in general though but do Accies have a souped up version compared to some others?

Yorkyred Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 There looked to be more Motherwell fans at the game than Accies, their support is just dwindling away, terrible given that was a derby game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Astro gets watered to keep the ball moving slickly. It can get caught under your feet a lot if it is too dry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long have you been attending games - been like that since the late 60's - perhaps slightly more even when they were at the original Douglas Park, but by and large we've always outnumbered them.

They installed a new one in the summer past - huge improvement over their last pitch and miles ahead of anything else artificial in Scotland at the moment. Watch a lot of games on it - niece plays for Accies Ladies - and it's night and day from the old one. Thought it played out like a grass pitch yesterday, very consistent and not the same fiery bounce of others past or present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From another point of view - Having spoke to others, unanimous in their opinion it’s the worst surface they’ve played on and are used to playing on artificial grass most weeks. Many rating what I’d describe as an overused Braidhurst as playing better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players yesterday - particularly ours - certainly seemed more sure-footed and comfortable than in any of the previous games I've seen at that midden on their previous pitch. Don't think it was any co-incidence that Frear was able to comfortably move the ball at pace along the wing , safe in the knowledge that it wouldn't 'run away from him' which it most certainly would have previously. But as I say all about opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts Well Fan Posted December 30, 2018 Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 Certainly looked better than Killie's worn out carpet and did not throw up the amount of black rubber pellets that Livi's does. Thought it played well yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
