*****The official Motherwell Vs Rangers thread*****

[Courtyard Bear 41,357]

So poor defensively, lots of possession without troubling their keeper much. 

Touch of deja vu. 

[Vanoli 4,625]

Some good stuff going forward. Waghorn hot and cold, Miller complacent, McKay excellent - would like to see him getting a few more one vs ones, Holt anonymous - I'd get Windass on. 

[Guest Lloyd72]

Defence is crying out for a leader, someone to tell kiernan when to step up and get in Tavs face about losing his marker

[ritchieshearercaldow 22,160]

Terrible start defensively, needs to be sorted but we are comming nearer, just need to up the pace

[minstral 5,375]

We have not learned about our defence after last season.

[eosmhdo 1,879]

Forrester and McKay doing well. Tav has a cheek looking for a new contract imo, hugely overrated by some

[skoosh 81]

If the second half is not an improvement we have deep rooted problems,having said that we got out of jail 5 times in the first half,one may very well win us the game.

[Mols94 3,669]

Poor first half

Can't wait until we can get Crooks in instead of Halliday

I was/am very confident and hopeful for Wag  in the SPL, but I do think Tav will struggle big time. 

Our signing of Hodson will hopefully make him hone his defensive game. I think Hodson will be playing in front of him at this rate

Harry couldn't have done any more. He was bursting a gut himself and the angle he was at, on his weaker foot, running at pace, the only play was for him to put it in the box. I don't understand why none of his teammates read that the situation. It was pretty obvious. 

[BlueAvenger 10,273]

Pish

Awful defending and lucky not to have lost a few goals.

For this stage of the season our passing has been great. I know some people on here just want to slate the fuck out of us no matter how good or bad we are playing. Remember this is our first game of the season, it isn't even August yet and we aren't even using any of the 9(Including Dodoo) new signings which I think will have a great impact.

Same team tbf, think a lot is a knock on effect from the lack of CDM

[Bris Koyd 50]

Lee Hodson needs to become our first choice RB, Clint Hill on for Kieran and don't give Wilson the ball for him to give it straight away. With this defence we could get fucking relegated.

[Darrenmt7 656]

Been really impressed with McKay his passing and touches Have been superb!

[ForeverBlue1872 463]

Poor start to the game but after that we dominated.

Think we can all agree that in terms of attacking and creating chances, we look very sharp.

Attacking and creating chances doesn't win games; scoring goals gets you the point

McKay MOTM so far, the rest have been shite, poor or anonymous 

Forrester and Miller have been neither shite, poor nor anonymous

Hmmm no sure how to feel about that

No new signings in that line-up, our starting XI will look very different against Hamilton

I'm sure Hodson will be first choice this season.

[Guest Lloyd72]

Andy Halliday has taken over from Nicky Law since he left 

[Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310]

Holt off for windass please

What game are you watching? Genuinely? 

I've backed this team and defended everything, even piss poor defeats but this is absolutely woeful so far. I know there is time but if we don't sign a CB who is first choice and a striker we can forget it if this is how were turning up. 

That sharp forrester beat 3 players and no-one was bursting a gut to get into the box. 

[GTMLivo 149]

Anyone explain how this works if it's a draw? Apparently Dundee United drew last night and went straight to penaltys?
