Neilwell86 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Honesty don't think that was as bad as some are suggesting. Aberdeen had more of the ball but other than in the first ten minutes I don't recall being under any real pressure. Archer made a good save from johnny hayes free kick but I can't remember another save of note. We also had probably the best chance of the game with polworth. Defensive looked fairly comfortable, we prevented Ferguson and Mccrorie dominating the game. Not a bad point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santheman Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Another point further away from the Midden County and Accies plus not conceding a stupid goal. Considering the past few weeks I’ll take that all day long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 I was expecting Hastie to get a game, and he may have made a difference, but as the game wore on I thought minimal changes would earn us a point. Then White came on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Internet is solid, wired to the property 120meg. First half fine, five mins of second half in it stopped and been locked out since. On the positive side it doesnt sound like im missing much The stream has been rock solid, it’s not been bad at all the last couple of games. Better performance than most at Fir Park.

couttsy Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Decent point given our form and one we just about deserved. Back 3 looked solid and Carroll will come in at LB/LWB soon (although Grimshaw was ok tonight). Front 2 worked hard but didn’t really look like scoring, think we should go with Watt and Cole at Tannadice. Midfield is a real issue and a big part of our lack of goals. Campbell was poor tonight by his standards but has to play given the other options. Which 2 play with him is very much up for debate. I’d go McGuire and Polworth. Hopefully Donnelly will be back soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kmcalpin Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 20 minutes ago, MFCL84 said: For me the defending is far too late in the opposition build up. Too much of the pitch is surrendered and there is no pressure on the ball preventing crosses or some quick passing around the edge of our box. Almost inevitably this leads to having to make last ditch blocks or tackles. I'd much rather defend from the front. With you 100% on that. If you make a mistake up front or even in midfield it won't be critical but if you do it in your own box it could well be. Fortunately Aberdeen were a bit toothless up front but that was no thanks to our midfield. I thought our defence, particularly Dec and Lamie were fine tonight.

Andy_P Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 A step forward. A modest step forward granted, but a step forward nonetheless. It felt like a back to basics type set up. Maybe not as open and attack minded as we would want but we setup but solid and generally well organised. They had the Main chance and a half chance from the same early on but nothing massively troublesome from them thereafter. Blanking the team in third isn't the worst and something to build on. Shame about the Polworth chance but a win would have been pushing it a little. I would imagine we'll set up much the same on Saturday and I won't be overly upset if we secure a point in a similar fashion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderlips Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 (edited) I thought Grimshaw had a good wee game at LB. Cole gave us something different too when he came on and would hope he starts on Saturday. Edited December 23, 2020 by Thunderlips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwellhighland Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Tonight is the first time I can ever remember where Motherwell have played a game of football and I've been completely oblivious it's even been on. In my head we weren't playing until Boxing Day. I guess I'm not the only one who has been losing interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc88 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 It was a poor poor watch but a point against one of the top sides in the league is something to build on. More concerned about the results at this time than the performance . As they say - build from the back, and if we can keep things tight, we won't lose many games. Surely o'hara must stay there now. The midfield and attack are severely lacking in confidence though, with the exception of watt. I love Campbell but it was the quietest I've seen him in a long time. All in all, given recent form, I'll take it and will take the same again on boxing day if i'm honest - not pretty but something to build on and will let us go into the killie and accies games with a bit more belief.

0Neils40yarder Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 That was total, turgid junk...fair play to anyone who watched it and thought it was anything other than that.

Everything is completely flat Aye that was dire viewing yet again,there really isn't much happening for us right now,were devoid of any ideas,no width,no pace,we surely must be one of the slowest teams in the league.i don't really rate that hedges guy from aberdeen but he's the type of player were needing,somebody that can open the legs and drag the team up the park,tony watt is good at coming deep and doing that but then there's nothing in the box when he does,the midfield is total static and not one of them are willing to gamble and get in behind the strikers.whats worrying is that we have tweaked the formation enough times already this season but yet we are playing exactly the same way in each game.we badly need a mini shake up of the squad next month to get us going again.
