Motherwell Daft is powered by piesports.com https://piesports.com/

Motherwell’s losing run stretched to six matches with a 2-0 defeat to Hearts, but this episode argues the result did not tell the full story.

While frustration is growing around Fir Park, Peter makes the case that Motherwell actually produced one of their better performances in recent weeks, creating chances, showing greater intensity and looking much closer to turning the corner than the league table suggests.

The discussion examines missed opportunities, defensive lapses, Stephen O'Donnell's difficult spell, Thor's chance to stake a claim, and whether calls for manager Alfred's head are wildly premature after just ten league games.

Meanwhile, Crofty joins the pod fresh from a nasty cycling accident and heavily medicated, providing a fitting metaphor for Motherwell's season so far.
