Hladky continuing to be St Mirren's man of the match with a great save from a Polworth curler. (And Maguire showing he has more football in him than Donnelly).

St Mirren started the 2nd half in a much more attacking frame of mind, creating a couple of good chances. Polworth tricks Foley into a bookable tackle without touching the ball.

That means I've scored as many goals as him this season, but I have less red cards.

We also created a couple of great chances on the counter, directly from St Mirren corners. If St Mirren do push up for an equaliser, then I can see us scoring on the break.

Been playing OK. Made a few decent chances and half chances, but St Mirren keeper has done well to snuff out 3 or 4 of them. A pretty dominant first half. Highlight has to be big Declan doing a bit of wing play, beating his man and driving to the line to create a good scoring chance. Maguire's looking comfortable in his new role, Seedorf has had some good runs, Campbell is as dynamic as ever and Polworth is being Polworth with some excellent distribution. Will be interesting to see if St Mirren, who were sitting in quite a bit, decide to be more expansive the second half or will continue to keep it tight.

About now. A deserved goal from Scott, curling one in to the top right from the edge of the box.

I'd expect the board and the manager to be having discussions about results, strategy and health of the club on a regular basis. That is completely different situation from being given an ultimatum to "change style or get sacked".

Great book - and the man was also a bit of a character himself.

A nervy 3 - 1 win after we go 2 - 0 up in the first half, let St Mirren back in it around the 63rd minute for 2 - 1, then dig in until the 87th minute when Hylton and Long combine for the 3rd after Campbell robs Magennis to set them up.

It's always going to be a problem deciding which players enter first. I imagine the Ancell Babes and every player from both cup winning teams and the league winning team all deserve a place. And that's before you start picking through the greats that played in teams that never won anything (like Wullie P). I think Pettigrew is a great inductee, though. He is a legend and still works at the club, so the perfect candidate for launching the idea as far as PR, promotions etc.

Liverpool have conceded 7 goals in their last 4 games and Motherwell have conceded only 5 in their last 5. So Andy Robertson out and Richard Tait in?

Interesting article in The Herald about Polworth's stats so far this season. In summary "As it stands, no top-flight player has made as many good chances as the Motherwell midfielder."

I see Stuart Findlay from Killie (shock horror) has been called up. You can argue the toss about whether Gallagher is international quality, but I'd say he's been better than Findlay this season.

(I already posted this tomorrow).

Like "Back to the Future" without the hoverboards.

And Aberdeen though Main was a better option...

I haven't seen the highlights so my memory might be wrong, but I thought the ref waited for advantage and pulled it back when there was none.

I would give Gallagher and Campbell pass marks, but Gillespie ensured the 3 points.

They added 45 seconds to the 3mins of extra, so it didn't even do that.

Donnelly has always had that in his game, unfortunately. I thought he'd matured a bit this season, but that was stupid and pointless - and detrimental to the team.

Does Cole still miss it?

It was pretty poor. Second half, St Johnstone had decided to fall over in the box every time the ball came in, and it worked getting a soft pen. Meanwhile Campbell was felled a few times with no action taken.

Donnelly for off the ball incident. Difficult to tell how much was in it from the video, but the St Johnstone player made a meal of it. Played better last week, but happy to take the 3 points.

Campbell's the one keeping the tempo going right now (or trying to) - which is why they keep hacking him down two at a time.

Ilic on for Scott, looking for a Croatian wonder goal.
