Rubbish result BUT good performance.
Should have had a draw but poor finishing cost us again.
We are never going to get anywhere offensively by relying on Stevenson to supply width his crossing and distribution is worse than a 10 yr olds, lost count of how many times he failed to deliver a decent cross!
Motherwell are sh!!te and they've beaten us twice now, IMO it's because of our lack of an attacking threat rather than them being worth a sook!
Better team but not enough creativity especially in wide areas but we know that already. Good performances from Foster, Robertson and Craig for me. Nichol gave the team much better balance by playing Maybury and moving Stevenson to left midfield. Whoever comes in has a decent squad but we need someone to partner Heff up front and a fit Harris. A new wide player in the window too as Zoubir has no pace and Handling looks out of the picture.
What was Fenlon thinking signing that dud Collins :rolleyes:
How people on here can say we have a top 4 squad is beyond me.:confused:
Would much rather a youth player came in with a point to prove instead of Dumbledore. Cummings step up
He actually helps our midfield to hole much better shape when he plays on the left. His crossing is average but so is most of the rest of the team. He uses the ball sensibly most of the time, looking for a midfielder who can hit a pass or make a run and he rarely just punts it. Most of the time he finds a green shirt.Quote:

:agree: I have no problem with the passing game - I love it - but you need to mix it up a bit. Was delighted to see Robertson run at them in the first half. And how many screamers from outside the box did Liam Craig score when at St Johnstone. Wish he'd have more of a go.Quote:

Motherwell irritate me with their constant moaning about non existent fouls, they were certainly hanging on at the end.
Still loads of work to do and I would like to see a few changes but we will just have to wait and see what happens.
He is a midfielder who has no pace, cant cross and cant shoot!! So not very good really. Yeah he gives 110% blah blah but he is woeful mateQuote:

How was Sparky after 12 games btw?
:rolleyes:
He maintained possession well throughout the game and had 2 poor crosses the rest were dangerous. He also actually ran and cut inside which is a bonus. There are worse players just now than LewisQuote:

There was no real cutting edge but the team had a better balance to it and there were encouraging signs of improvement.
You can say that about most of our midfield.Quote:

I ain't a Stevenson fan, but the amount of times he gets singled out by the Hibs armchair masses just shows how much they don't know about football!
I think we know what we get from Stevenson. Decent defensively and a good reserve for LB, 100% every game.Quote:

Sorry guys, but only seen Zoubir twice as a sub WTF done SFA both times
