Difficult game for me as I went with my nephews so had to control the swearing......I never realised how often I swore at the football until I tried not to.
Anyway
Much better performance than last week but still lacking badly out wide however.
First the negatives.
Zander at RB was a disaster and it was a blessing in disguise when he went off. Foster wasn't great but he was a hell of alot better than diamond
Duff, in a 20min spell in the 2nd in particular was atrocious. How many times did mulgrew have good possession only to find Duff standing on the half way line making no attempt to get into the space behind their FB?
In the same 20min spell we seemed to be terrified of crossing the half way line (duff again the main culprit) and again we seemed terrified to shoot.
On a similar note, as said above, we are chronically lacking out wide and JC desperately needs to pull a rabbit (or preferably a winger with pace and skill) out the hat before 31st August
Finally Diamond injured...how long will he be out as although he was terrible today we will need him at the back
Now the good points
Superb result, and a badly needed boost to our confidence. You could see the lift the team got when we went 1-0 up.
Mulgrew, good performance all round and superb finish.
The defence (after diamond went off) was reasonably solid and considine and seve did a decent job.
Kerr looked better in the middle of the park and should be a good signing.
Tommy Wright. Finally someone that will get stuck in, and was unlucky not to score. Likely to get sent off vs Rangers but may also bag a goal.
Superb result against a Well side that should be top6 again this year.
Final, and I'm afraid, negative point. Booing our side 60mins into our 2nd game of the season really is pretty pathetic. Take a look at yourselves guys, especially as it was otherwise a pretty good atmosphere, and an improvement on recent trips to fir park.
Final, final, well done to the Motherwell fans for their anti OF 5% banner.
