Summer football, its a no brainer sitting / standing watching the game on a warmish pleasant evening or sitting / standing wrapped up in several layers of clothing, wet and freezing your balls off, drinking luke warm Bovril to try to get a heat. Aye its a tough choice

We need some width as well as pace in the team, so i would have Johnson and Ainsworth starting with Sutton in for Erwin as he is more effective, scores more goals and will hopefully get himself on the end of the cross balls that Ainsworth and johnson are capable of delivering. Erwin has potential but he gets bullied off the ball to easily.

Thats a big ask, at least another 6 wins from 10 games left, not impossible but we need to keep the momentum of the last 2 weeks going.

If its Hibs or Falkirk yes, but if it's Sevco then we will probably bottle it as usual against them, but that said pumping them in the playoffs would be a great end to the season.

Anything from this game is a bonus, but we seem to be in better shape than a few weeks ago so never say never, our record up there is not too bad, respect to anybody making the trip up there.

+ 1 for me as well tbought johnson was excellent today

2 points dropped for me,the sending off and Skippys equaliser with the last kick of the 1st half swung the game massively in our favour. But we never got in their faces enough so a big chance missed. That said its 4 points out of 6 and i am happy with that, plus we are off the bottom so onwards and upwards. Thought straker was ok today, but Erwin was pish all game, Johnson looks a good prospect thought he was excellenr today.

Left by mutual consent according to the official site, so maybe an agreement re money due was agreed, but i would be surprised if it was for the full outstanding term of his contract

Sorry for him ....Naw , allegedly had potential when we signed him but never showed any of it, and turned out to be a feckin bomb scare anytime he was played. He has been a wage thief for over 2 years now, Hollis was keeping him out of the team FFS, so a good move to punt him, albeit a year too late.

If he gets the Rangers gig and brings them to Fir Park then he is fair game, ie he will get the same dogs abuse as any other Manager of either of the ugly sisters.

We already have a good prospect at left back, Luke Watt should get his chance to step up, the rest of the team should stay the same.

Hammell may be out for rest of season, groin injury flared up again. No confirmation, story told to me at game on Saturday from reliable source who was told at the AGM.

A lot of great efforts today but i am going for Lasley, he put in a great shift in midfield. Special mentions for Josh Law and Skippy

...straight red for that

If he contributes to keeping us in the premiership he can kiss as many badges as he likes

Seems to be be mentioned on twitter https://twitter.com/...fsrc=email&s=11 daily record running the story as well now http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/motherwell-close-sealing-sensational-fir-5234206

Out of his depth...A bit like you then,when trying to post any positive and well constructed comments On this forum

Totally agree but on this forum,there is no chance of that happening.

Sutton is more effective when the ball is crossed in to him, so i think we need wide players, so i would have Ainsworth right side and maybe Johnson left side with pearson and grant in the middle.

WTF are you on, is it the mind altering substances you take that makes you post random shite like this

Spot on Dave, and add to that our left back on the day being totally lost and clueless as to where he should be letting players stroll past him at every opportunity, so its obvious as to where our problems lie.

Time for what ? to convince even more fans that some of them are way out of their depth, are you serioulsly trying to argue that somebody like Straker who struggled to get a game with an English league 2 side has the ability to cut it at premiership level.

He has shown nothing, no tactical abillity, playing players out of position, no plan B when we need a goal, playing guys like Straker who would struggle to get a game for a school team,so i fully expect him to be gone by next Sunday if we dont get anything from ICT, assuming the board have the balls to punt him if he does not walk himself.

Fraud probably, impersonating a footballer since the start of the season,

When IB arrived i thought he would do ok, he talked a good game , new ownership a bit of extra cash for 6 new faces brought in during January, so the club seemed to be moving in the right direction. But having watched that dross on Saturday i dont think he is up to the job, ok we have a few key players injured, pearson, Hammell and Vigurs but i honestly think we have got worse since he took over. A couple of the players he brought in look to have some potential, Grant and Long and maybe Laing but the rest Oh dear, Johnson, Thomas and Straker are utter dross, they are way out of their depth at premiership level. This situation is turning in to a re-run of the Jim Gannon saga, lots of promise , then loses the dressing room and we end up struggling. If we get beaten by ICT on Saturday, which given our current form is a banker away win, then i think IB's time is up and he should be punted if he does not do the decent thing and walk himself. Then we could get somebody else in to steady the ship and have 10 games to keep us up.
