CoF Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Think I'm right in saying this - yesterdays victory has made it our best ever SPL start by 1 point (we had 16 after 11 games during McGhees first year, 18 last year). It's been a good few years for the club so I hope folk aren't blasé about that fact, especially when you think about what could be just around the corner. It's even more remarkable when you consider how far down we are in the resources pecking order. In some ways it's also pretty exciting that we haven't been outstanding in every game and Craig Brown will be the first to admit that. Unlike McGhees first season when we played some amazing fitba, we've been winning ugly but showing glimpses of something really special. If it starts clicking the way Craig Brown seems to think it has the potential to do then we're in for a great season! As I said, who knows what's round the corner. This season could be a fond memory when we get relegated in the 2014/15 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteelman Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Interesting to note that we had only lost 1 game by this time last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesacs Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 how many points did we have the year we lost on the opening day against Rangers, then went unbeaten until hogmany and Rangers beat us again.......dunno the year, but i think it was Drunken Ferguson that scored against us (a double IIRC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Interesting to note that we had only lost 1 game by this time last year. that league looks good but we only managed to add another 3 points in the next 7 games. getting beat every so often doesn't actually bother me, it's better to get a few wins than tons of draws. the next five matches are st j (h), hibs (a), st m (a), herts (h), killie (h). hopefully we can grab 8 or 9 points.

Gaag Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 fuck it, why not aim for 15 as we are more than capable of beating any of those teams. Funnily enough the one I would worry about most is Killie there, as they seem to be having a bit of a resurgence with big mixu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott_mfc Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 This is a fantastic opportunity for Motherwell to put some light between themselves and the followers. Throwing in matches against Hearts and Kilmarnock (the other two form teams in the league) we have a real opportunity to go clear in third by some way. However, it's easier said than done and wouldn't be the first time we have fallen at the feet of a great opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstone Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Some tricky games in there. We all know about our home form, but St Mirren away will be tough and everyone knows what happens when we play Hibs - They cuff us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabba's Turd Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Interesting to note that we had only lost 1 game by this time last year. Interesting why? We hardly had the ball out our own half and the football was just as dire as it is now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 .........It's been a good few years for the club so I hope folk aren't blasé about that fact, especially when you think about what could be just around the corner.............
