Setting this up early for the Highland locals and the travelling Dossers on their return.

 

Votes and thoughts when you get home....

[nethertonwellfan]

Lukas was playing on one leg apparently, so must be him. I'll wait for the 150 that were at the game though.

[Cakes]

2 votes for Juke already. Who can back fae Inverness in the TARDIS?

[Big Wispy Flossy]

null vote for me - never bothered going up thank fuck. But cue the Lasley and Craigan love-in fan club saying they were great again when most probably they were pish AGAIN!

[nethertonwellfan]

Maybe Shaka and Gazza B voted or some people have i phones

[Chris]

What can ye say to this?

 

[Cakes]

i phones

iPhone's.

 

Aye, maybe.

[East_Stand_Al]

Ok I listened to the shitty BBC open all mics stuff and tried to follow the game on the shitty BBC text commentary page.

 

I don't think I'm qualified to pass an opinion

[GazzyB]

I went for Murphy, he did more in the 2nd half than the whole team did in the first half. Ruddy had a great game too.

 

Oh, and special mention to Craigan and Lasley, both were brilliant!!

[mon_da_well]

Not long back. The Juke.

[Wellarmy]

Juke due to the fact he played with one decent leg for most of the game. Showed abit of determination. Wish a few of his team-mates had shown some of the same!

[Neil]

Murphy looked dangerous when he came on but really struggle to find many positives from tonight.

[steelboy]

we'll win the cuo next year.

Aye, very good. You say you wern't at the match and then assume that Lasley and Craigen were guff. How about quit being a booyboy and hoping for players to do badly so you can be all smug about it and rip them apart.

 

Anyway, Murphy for me. Only one who looked likely to create anything.

[decorator]

ruddy for me

[casey]

Ruddy

 

Couple of good saves to keep the score down!

 

[Big Wispy Flossy]

Im not a boo-boy far from it. I was at Kilmarnock on Saturday and was delighted we picked up the 3 points albeit against limited opposition and never slated any single player. Im not a pessimist either.

 

I'm just pissed off with the continued support of our experienced and longest serving players. I know it is all about opinions but how the fuck was Lasley second in the man of the match votes on Saturday after 3 times in the space of 10 minutes letting Craig Bryson turn him easily and run in on goal. His job was to protect the back four. I will admit he did well when involved in our 2nd goal but otherwise i thouht he was very average on Saturday. Give me Jennings or Hately everytime in that position. Lukas, O'Brien, Coke & even Humphrey were all better than Lasley.

 

 

Now onto Craigan, his performances again St Johnstone and Hearts were to be frank performances that are barely acceptable in the SFL. Whilst he held his own against Kevin Kyle on Saturday (who in my opinion is the most overrated and cumbersome centre forward in the league!) he has severe limitations against any centre forward or supporting midfielder who has any pace or technical ability whatsoever. His legs are gone and his decision making becoming more and more erratic by each passing game. I have accepted that his distribution was woeful for a long time but that his ok if other parts of his game are upto scratch but they arent.

 

As i said above its al about opinions and i am entitled to mine but dont go assuming that i want players to perform badly cause i dont. They two players above and the other 12 players cost me a large sum of money last night so why would i want them to fail. Anyway moving on, 4 points out of the next 2 games is a must if we are to move away from the relegation battle.

[StAndrew7]

Jamie Murphy for me, the only one that showed real hunger and determination in the second half. Mentions to Sutton and Juke.

 

Anyone else there think O'Brien was trying way too hard at times?

How can you criticise two players who, by your own admission, are on the park to stop the opposition from scoring when we went down to Killie and kept a clean sheet away from home in the SPL? I'm not saying they were magnificent, but they done their job and can be happy with their days work.

[Finlay]

I went for Jamie Murphy. Thought he looked good when he came on.

In fairness, I also praised them for their performances at Killie and i acknowledge that this game was our first clean sheet in a long long time. In that respect yes they can be happy with their days works as we got 3 points and a clean sheet. The point im trying to make is that they are not as good as most on here are making out and often escape criticism when others seem to be the target. Being experienced does not guarantee being good enough.

[myteam]

went for the duke as he played on despite being hacked from the 2nd min he just kept picking himself up. i guess caley thought he was the main threat. but the team def looked jaded. oh well onwards & upwards (i hope)

To be honest, a lot of the time on here over the years I've felt exactly the opposite. I felt Reynolds for almost two full years was total pish at centre half beside Craigan, yet he was always getting votes in the MotM polls, etc. Craigan isn't a total footballer - he'll put his laces through it maybe more than he should, he will sometimes slice a clearance and he could be quicker, but on the park he is a leader, an organiser, has an awareness that is second to none and always gives 100% for the jersey. Reynolds, on the other hand, can't mark, can't tackle and has no positional awareness, yet he's the blue-eyed boy of the 'Well support. He's had a decent season so far, but over the piece during his time at Motherwell, he's been no better than guys like Fitzpatrick who are demonised by 'Well fans.

To be fair, the clean sheet can also be put down to a couple of saves fae Ruddy and some poor finishing from Killie.

 

Craigan & Lasley are both average players who have had their day with us. You have to move on at some point and I honestly believe it's that time. To be honest I think there are a few others who fall into this category at present.

 

It might even give the players in question a shot in the arm by moving to new pastures.
