his punishment is a contract extension

my grandad was one of the scouts at the club and he always spoke incredibly highly of him. When he returned to Well he remembered everyone by name and really had a positive impact on them all. I'm too young to remember his time at Well but loved his enthusiasm and spirit. Like many have said it was clear he was a Scotland, Liverpool and Motherwell man.

on paper it can stay - on the eyes it's been god damn horrible - other than perhaps a handful of games.

Not sure if Livi have better players but they have proven to be a better team than us thus far, hence they are 5th and made it to a cup final. I admire their consistency in doing the free stuff well. They work hard, play as a team and win more than their fare share of 2nd balls. We will need to match the free stuff should we wish to get anything from the game.

loved the post match interview. good pair of bawz from GA not to get drawn into his sending off.

well done lads. after some poor weekend displays the puts the jam back in my donut. Huge 3 points for us. Good to see Magloire beginning to settle in the team and Lamie being played at centre half. I do feel for players being played out of position.

this guy Roberts is a waste of space - no way he'll score a second (hint hint )

strongest subs bench we've had for a while Hope to see Lawless as some stage.

he was excellent in his first season and like others a shadow of himself this year. can't help but wonder if lockdown effects him and he can't see his family etc up north. He looks like someone who's struggling with life. Can't see him playing many more games for us.

It's not a like for like position. Roberts looks like another striker who wants to be central not wide. I'd rather play Lawless wide and have a 2 up front from Roberts/Cole/Watt/Long Although Lawless hasn't even played - yet he's grown in stature since we initially signed him.

he's been played out wide and many appearances as a sub. His interview was interesting - he clearly wants the number 9 and to be played through the middle . He's the most likely person we have to put the ball in the net. Completely agree that out of position he doesn't work hard enough and perhaps thats enough reason to drop him. Personally I'd have given him a handful of games in his position to prove himself but I'm not the one seeing him in training etc every day so got to trust the mgrs decision.

it's possibly more important to keep the form than to get much from the game. What team will turn up - the one the battled mid week or the one that rolled over the previous 2 games. I don't expect a lot from the result but I do expect more of the battling qualities that we showed in midweek. Only glamour of hope is Hibs have won 4 games on the bounce and due to drop points.

Given he's 30 years old, he has a one time only to get to a major championship . I completely agree with you, he'll want to be back as soon as possible.

Completely agree and know this isn't a popular view. He'd be my preferred choice through the middle. I think he's much better than Cole and would bang in more goals.

love the optimism.

in essence 3 wins between now and the end of the season and we're likely to be safe. I remember pre season that I thought this would be an outstanding season for us ..........(and sigh)

Polworth will be finished as a Motherwell player - doesn't offer enough. Long - should only play in the traditional no 9 jersey. Either Cole or Long but not both. Crawford works hard and a decent squad player - no better or worse than Grimmie.

he got skinned very easily by the likes of Tait several times and quite cheaply. He's what's wrong with much of our squad - just not quite good enough for this level.

we didn't sit as deep which was helpful and we won a lot more 1st and 2nd balls. Many players improved. Still don't believe the front 3 work - hopefully lawless comes in and we can play with a winger and start stretching teams as we don't look like scoring and continually try to thread it through a very packed defence.

a decent winger would make the world of difference - all front 3 are far too narrow

plenty of effort lack of quality.

next goals the winner

plenty of effort lack of any quality Would like to see Lawless come on for Roberts and see if it makes any difference.

they get away with lots of professional fouls
