Motherwell (A)

[JUSTaway]

Agree with this but not sure about the light squad. Considering we have been missing Doc, Trap, Graham, Strain, Moult, Sibbald etc for not just a game or two but extensive periods of time and that despite that we are where we are, is actually testament to a good depth in both numbers and quality to be able to cover all that and still get results. In many ways it’s a huge testament to the squad building that JG has achieved in a very short period of time.

I think we've got a versatile squad, I think the issue will be asking the same guys to go repeatedly without much rest, I think that was a factor in the poor performance at Easter road. As for docherty, seriously, what can you say, out of nowhere gets an injury, only weeks away we are told, comes back on the bench, doesn't even play, and still manages to get injured. More chance of seeing Santa.

Santa...really

On DUTV at the Ibrox game Doc was on commentary and when asked how long it took him to get there he said "not long as I am based in Paisley". I thought as part of his keeping fit he was based in Dundee area now....maybe not.

One thing I think, is UNited to me appear to be a fit team and don't seem to tire as much as some later in games.

Agree but think we will become stretched in the next few weeks with the busy period of we don't get Doc and the like back

Babunski would not be starting every game for me if we had everyone fit for one

Looking at today we are light but the bench is starting to look better

[ScotinUSA]

Nice of them to play Deacon Blue.

[Tomb]

Fu**ake what a start against our bogey team.

[shedka]

Safe to say we need to get the next goal, early as possible second half

Not seen the goals but to lose 3 in first half is a first this season, mostly ferry more then we thought? A poor defensive display? This may be Graham's way back into the starting xi

That's 7-3 Motherwell aggregate so far this season, we are 22-13 combined against all other top flight clubs

[Stoke_Arab]

First time this season I've seen our defence shakey from the start. We look like conceding every time Motherwell come forward. Strain terrible for the second. Far too casual all over the pitch.
Lacking intensity, lacking speed in attacking movement. Need to make some HT changes.
Get Ross Graham on for a start. Maybe add Trapanovski for Babunski as well.
Very poor 45 from us.

[Arabs4ever]

Gallagher having a poor game today. Maybe the fact that he has to take the long throws today with Ferry missing. Can we mix the throws up?

[Stoke_Arab]

Gallagher is playing but been very poor. Tbf no one is getting pass marks. Babunski anonymous, Moults hold up play horrendous.

[shedka]

They seem to be scoring with every chance, we hit the bar and they go and get a 4th against the run of play, long way back now, at 3-2 was game on

First time we've lost 4 in a league game since Feb 2023 in dingwall Liam Fox last game, first time under Goodwin in the league

Just seems like we have forgotten how to defend, we'd barely lost first half goals recently
