MJC Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 From being 0-2 down I’ll certainly take that point.  Obviously disappointing not get the win but well done for fighting back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Grew Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 A draw probably about the right result as neither side really did enough to win it. We were always up against it after giving them a 2 goal start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purestate Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Don’t know why Balmer was being so pally with that thug Jacobite after game.  Causing his own player to be injured typified his and most of StM approach to the game.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Not a terrible point considering St mirren wanted to make it a bloodbath. I didn't see how their player got injured, but it looked like it was one of the St mirren players that caused it, which is apt. If we come out of that game with no injuries, we must be using weapons in training. Armstrong makes that system better, hope he's back soon.

Well Well Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Just back and I have never seen a bigger bunch of thugs than that St Mirren team. We were woeful and I just can't believe we had two weeks training and we still cannot pass a ball correctly short, medium, long we just cannot seem to find one of our own players. So many good attacking phases broke down because of our inability to find a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benson Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Stop start game due in most instances to over physical and consistently fouling st mirren team,their big thug at the back put his team mate on a stretcher.first half we looked off the pace and lethargic for some reason and plange couldn't compete physically with their centre backs and hold the ball up,done well to come back into game,thanks slatts,a very astute football brain,knows how to play the game and a big player for us.

weeyin Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 We never play well after a break - we're the kind of team that needs to be playing competitive games every week. Not unique in that by any means, but not totally surprised we were slow starters today. I also suspect that, as Wimmer said after the first game, the players were still thinking about their additional instructions rather than playing instinctively, and that leads to hesitation and errors. Robinson, however, continues to drag football into the 19th Century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacovitti got booked for it and even Robinson thought it better to substitute him immediately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twistandshout1983 Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 I will gladly take the point after being 2-0 down against a very very dirty St Mirren team Still in with a good shout of the top 6Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Poor to middling performance today depending on the period of the game. Not for the first time the opposition getting a player sent off seemed to help them rather than us. I posted at half time today so I won't repeat myself but if you are looking at the two Wimmer matches I've seen and looking for themes then the one that jumps out at me is our lack of creativity. I really can't remember the opposition goalkeeper today or against Dundee making a proper save which means we've been super efficient in taking our chances.  That's fine when you are getting results in a couple of matches but longer term we really need to create more. Very little up front today. Looked like we were playing the same system of two midfields 'up front' and someone sitting deeper. Not sure how that is going to pan out over the longer period but it didn't work today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellup83 Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Game played out exactly as I predicted with St Mirren determined to kick every Motherwell player that dare touch the ball. Oh the irony that it's them who ended up with a player stretchered off. We weren't great today. Our first touch and passing was all over the place at times and they were too physical for us in the final third. Still think overall we were worthy of a point despite Robinson's comments to the contrary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsterwood Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Though O donnell poor . Could have cost us a few times and distribution lacking. Appeared to be operating below pace of match. St mirren very dirty team. Lucky to only get one red. Thought also Plange poor. Never did work rate or link up like Armstrong. Slattery good. Points ok after being 2 nil down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit obviously for a quick reply to going 2-0 down but I reckon it’s already too little too late for us today. Wrong again 😃 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Wispy Flossy Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 That was a level of thuggery from st mirren not seen at fir park since Robinson was in charge here. All it was missing was badass bowman up front elbowing defenders left right and centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welly Machine Posted March 15 Report Share Posted March 15 Didn't quite click today especially when we needed to after they went down to 10. Still a point not a disaster after being 2 down. Thought the ref could have been on top of the persistent fouling better, maybe would have helped prevent people going off injured? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
