If it had been a draw or lose we would have had plenty of threads of people saying how he had lost it - this is our biggest win in a while and so he deserves some praise for both revamping the team and also some acknowledgement that he picked a team and formation no one on here predicted prior tpo the information leaking.

Some praise, yes of course, but some are going overboard forgetting who it was we were up against. We can only beat what is put in front of us of course, and we dealt with Well very well, credit to the lads for not stopping at 1 goal which we normally do. Ravamping the team? We made 2 changes.Team and formation, it was 4-3-3/4-5-1, we play it all the time, the team only changed by 1 or 2 players. The difference was this week, a few things, our players attacked from the off, we closed down Motherwell very well, we didnt let them play, and we didnt defend after going 1 up.Dare i say no Lee McCulloch or Edu in midfield either. It was more to do with the players and possibly coaches attitudes than different team and formations. Something ive been harping on about for months with this squad and management team. When our attitude is right, we can take any team. We are a good team and we have good players, our strength is not defending like it was in 08, its attacking! Dont take it personally Pete, i didnt mean to have a go at you, sorry if it sounded that way, its only 1 game, our best game in a while, lets hope the lads can keep it up.

papaguy51 941 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 It goes to show what freshening up the team does.Let's hope he continues to mix the squad up for the duration of the season, the failure to do so could lose us the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

These changes were not forced on him. (Oh and if McCulloch had been fit I would have been happy with him in). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

papaguy51 941 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I suppose the only question to ask is if Smith would have changed it or not had McCulloch been fit.Pretty sure most people would agree that we've struggled over the past few weeks, so the only question is whether he would have willingly changed the starting XI to the one we started with yesterday to freshen things up.Regardless, no point in dwelling on yesterday. It'll only be worthwhile if we learn from it and build on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
