We’ve been brutal to be fair - bar decision aside we need to reshape and put energy into the game

Not our day

Sleep walking in this match making Aberdeen look good

Looking forward to the game and I think it's fair to say there's more optimism in Lanarkshire than there is in the granite city. Abderdeen have really lost their way since McInnes left and clearly a team struggling with confidence and form. A Not saying we'll win but at least we're thinking we could.

Jesus wept - I hope we have a clause that lets Jon leave at the end of the season

Another very good advert for our club. There’s been several players who have developed and flourished during kettlewells reign . great to see Bair get an international call up , another positive reason to come and play for the Well .

he could have got decent money in Scotland or certainly the UK - don't blame him for cashing in but thought it odd knowing his family and baby to be were in the UK

re KVV. I've never understood why was he so desperate to go back to Holland. Given his partner lives here and was having their child, it's rather odd. Feels like ego. I wish the guy 'Well and delighted with what he did for us but he comes across as a bit of a primadonna . It was more luck than judgement that he's not back at FP and with hindsight goggles I'm relieved. Vale has been excellent for us.

agree - it's a complete waste of money /funds and has taken away more value than it's added. 1) I don't think the tech is there yet and 2) wrong people use it.

I like the way you've laid it out @thewelllfan. My only challenge is from current squad you'd retain 10 players, and I don't have confidence that the club have the nouse to replace it with better quality. FWIW I completely agree about S'OD, Paton, Mugabi not being first team picks. Lots of plaudits for how improved Mugabi has been but persona view is he can't read the game, get's caught flat footed, wrong side of players all the time. (appreciate others disagree)

That’s a bit brutal . There are some players worth keeping around to help the overall squad . Likes of Paton , Kelly , S’OD and Mubagi have all added value .

Any Motherwell Manager who has us better than 9th, has the team playing for them and has some form of long term plan should be considered a good manager. Played 51 games under SK now win rate is 40% draw 30% losses 30% Fair to say most if not all Motherwell mgrs will lose 1/3 of games over their tenure. Appreciate we had a very poor run but no different to many other recent mgrs. Hammell, Alexander, Robinson, McGhee. I'm a firm believer that we need to get back to having stability with managers with a long term plan who we stick with, avoiding knee jerk decisions.

lots of results went in our favour today. Delighted to have back to back wins. Feels good to be looking upwards, well done team.

Simply put - we would not have been awarded that penalty hard enough to beat this mob without var pushing their influence

We’re not alone re injuries The article on bbc re the amount of players impacted with modern game . I believe our issue is having too small a squad and playing too many games , players being on pitch when not 100% mix to that bad luck , signing players with history all adds to the picture https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68423241

I don’t see it . We’ve only won 6 games and our central defence is weak . i think we’re likely to get max of 5 points in remaining games pre split .

Thankfully we go with no pressure on us. I much prefer facing them when they've been on a rich vein of form. They tend to be arrogant and dismissive , entitled to win with zero expectations that we can do anything. Expect little from the game but at some point lady lucky will help us turn them over.

Certainly takes a bit of pressure off

Must say Vale has had a bigger impact on SPL than KVV so far . proving to be a very decent addition p

Lovely work with Bair and Vale

Ah - top tip , I’ll make the switch . Although it’s more entertaining than the game to be honest

Somehow I’ve got livi commentators plunge McNugget and his younger sibling by the sounds of it

Was just thinking the same small crowd joke of a pitch commentator ‘Motherwell are shooting towards the supermarket ‘ ! add another schoolboy lapse in defence Complete tosh

Completely with you. Lots of teams have poor runs of form Personally I dislike references to the 2 wins in 23 games, conveniently ignoring we've played 27 and won 5 or heaven forbid only lost 11. We'd all like to have won more, we'd all like to win more games against the OF. Today we ran out of puff and they have a player depth that only the OF can match. We're still 9th and that position would do us just nicely come the end of season.

Given the pressure Celtic have been under suspect they may put us to the sword today. Really hope I'm wrong.
