Motherwell’s campaign – and home form – has been excellent. Their defensive record is brilliant and their style great to watch.<\/p>\n
They have undoubtedly hit a little bump in the road, though, at the business end of proceedings, giving supporters a dose of nervousness.<\/p>\n
Having enjoyed Fir Park as a fortress, they finally succumbed and it was Falkirk again who undid them. A bogey team maybe but a good team.<\/p>\n
The early concession was crucial and handed Falkirk immense encouragement. Having equalised, all evidence this season pointed to a strong reaction but it didn’t quite materialise.<\/p>\n
For a side with such defensive stability, the manner of Broggio’s goal will frustrate. There’s no question Jens Berthel Askou will back his players but playing in that way in that area rather than clearing did seem unnecessary in that moment.<\/p>\n
There remains work to do to capitalise on all their good work with Hibs now breathing down their necks.<\/p>\n
Falkirk are a very good side under an impressive manager and fully deserve a place in the top half. It is a fabulous achievement for a promoted side who just can’t stop rising. What a ride for Bairns supporters the past few seasons have been.<\/p>\n
Stewart’s rise to prominence is also a brilliant story within a season full of them. From nowhere, the striker – who now has six goals in his past five games – has exploded into this Premiership campaign and will no doubt be attracting interest.<\/p>\n
He works hard, gets in the box, instinctively finds the right space and finishes superbly. A lot of attributes to like in a player who looks capable of progressing far beyond what we’re seeing right now.<\/p>\n
That said, he needs quality delivery and gets it. Miller consistently impresses as he has done for a long time in Falkirk colours. He was outstanding, not to mention a host of others.<\/p>\n
Full credit to Falkirk. They’ve been so impressive this season and completing a double of wins at Fir Park is no mean feat in itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Motherwell’s campaign – and home form – has been excellent.
