Motherwell run out of gas

[Footymad]

Motherwell's third meeting with Celtic in a week ended in a 5-1 defeat at Parkhead. The players gave their all but in the face of a refreshed opposition in good form they were well beaten. - External Link

Shame to end with a thumping but they've been as good as we can have any right to expect over the course of the week and gave absolutely everything. They've earned a beer and a soak in the tub but looking ahead our performances mean the rest of the hard December fixture wise isn't quite as intimidating as it was...a few more good results will see us effectively safe in January which would be a big plus given some of the decisions we can make then.

The four points we took from Aberdeen and Celtic Got us through those tough set of fixtures. That's not a bad return from nine. Now we can forget about all the s**** from this week and carry on what has been a very encouraging start to our season. You always find out round about the christmas period how the season will pan out. A few more points and we can concentrate on the top six in the second half of the season rather than battling at the wrong end of the table as we have been doing for the last couple of years.
