We all know where the issues are, for me keeper who commands his area, 2 centre half's, and a holding midfielder, would be the priority as a minimum. And bring greedy a decent goalscorer to play up front with the Bair, it's not much to ask really.

I'll always give any manager credit when they deserve it. Been watching Motherwell too long to do otherwise

Whatever his strengths, SK has been unable to fortify our defence and defensive midfield this season. Hopefully this will be addressed over the summer, but given his track record in this regard we simply cannot afford any "projects". Within budget contraints, we need to bring in solid reliable defenders and a solid defensive midfielder.

Yep agreed....3-5-2 ideal but in a flat back 4 was not good imo

Slattery. Nicolson. McGinn. O'Donnell. Possibly Ferrie.

McGinn, Nicholson and maybe Ferrie.

Tell me about it, Mrs grizzly is constantly telling me to stop telling yolks and being a total duck !!

Considering some had us already relegated back in January I'm with you. Better than being a Saints or County fan.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

I know, he was honking last Saturday when no tackles made but scored 2 goals

It'll be a game we can all enjoy without worrying about the result. If someone had told me that earlier in the season, I'd have taken it.

First time we've conceded three goals in a league game since Celtic put three past us on February 25th, and we're eleven points clear of the playoffs. Not the best season by any stretch, but I'll take it. Next season will be interesting. Some wholesale changes look like they're on the cards.

Spittal has that one figured out. He's not made a tackle since the start of March.

A typically street-wise St Johnstone under Levein's cynical control will find it all too easy to con the ref with their play-acting and time-wasting while I fear little will be done about their "robust" takling. If they score first these tactics will only increase and we will find it hard to turn things around. Conversely, if Slattery were playing for us on Saturday I doubt he's last the 90 minutes, given the referee we've been assigned. These end of season games worry me when the majority of the players in claret and amber on the pitch on Saturday will not be here next year and also may be concerned about picking up an injury which could affect their career at a new club. Mind you, going into a tackle without full commitment can often be dangerous. Of course, I suppose one solution is to not bother tackling at all..........😱. I'm just glad we're safe and aren't having to rely on loanees and PCAs geting us out of relegation/play-offs danger.

Conflicting issues here. For us there's nothing at stake, bar professional pride and finishing the season on a high for the fans. Maybe give some youngsters a bit of gametime? Against that there's a need to stay competitive and fulfil the fixture properly, with sporting integrity. SK and SF will know individual players' frame of mind and yes there's the issue of not picking those who are moving on. For my part I hope we go out to win the game, starting with our strongest line up. .

Thats a shame. Would have liked to have had him on board. Definitely the type of defender we should be going for imho.

I'd bring back Davor and Paton, in some formation, for this one as we're going to need bite, energy and aggression in midfield. Qualities that were sadly lacking last night. They might not be the best team in the league but the farmers will be up for this one. We must match that spirit.

Biereth moving to Strum Graz, how is that Kettlewells fault ffs, he has developed Bair, and to some extent Spittal their goals have kept us up this year, brought in Vale and Gent who have been great so SK has done very well. Other players like Souare, Obilye, Wilkinson etc were no doubt short term low cost, low risk punts to the club so he can't be blamed for those not working out.

Can't argue pal, major overhaul needed and SK needs to get this transfer window right.

So seeing Lennon Miller become a mainstay of the team. Theo Bair becoming a revelation. Georgie Gent being 1st class in 1st ever season Spittal scoring plenty from range and fair play getting a move away. Sure there's more improvement needed and a rebuild but do I trust Kettlewell? YES I do.....but he will be restricted by budget same as every manager and season.

If you are bringing up a single allegation against Motherwell to deflect from 80 odd convictions against a child abuse network operating inside Celtic Park then i'd say true colours are really on show.
