ALEX SMITH’S MOTHERWELL MATCH COMMENTS

Manager Alex Smith was unhappy with United’s first half performance yesterday at Fir Park and made his feelings known at half-time. “We were poor in the first half. We gave away the ball and couldn’t get Charlie Miller into the game, It wasn’t like us,” he explained. “But at half-time I got hold of the players and we were better in the second half and were unlucky not to win in the end when Lilley hit the post.” “It would have been nice to get our first win but at this stage teams are determined to stand up and battle.”
