I accidentally voted for Said instead of Just, but I'm OK with that for his entertainment value alone.

It sounds like you're just making up stuff to be worried about. Some players will want to stay, some players will want to move on, some new players will be happy to join. Same as every season. That's for dealing with in the summer. Just enjoy the ride for now.

Hot take - maybe some of the current squad actually enjoy playing football for us and would like another season of the same.

And Iredale. He was next for a red card until he was subbed on 38 minutes.

He loved beating St Mirren so much today he even smiled in his post match interview. While he played it down pre-match, you could tell he's been plotting a way to beat them since the semi.

I read Robinson's post match quote: ""That's as poor a performance as we've put in all season. I didn't think Motherwell needed to do a whole lot to win the game" We see a lot of visiting managers give similar post match assessments, and I think it's testament to our performances that we just don't let teams play. From Dundee Utd to Hibs to Celtic, they all come away saying it's the poorest they have been.

Happy Birthday. Hope someone gave you a new joke book.

McGinn and SOD are perfect for our current approach to the game. I think they would struggle more in one of Clarke's formations as his teams give up a lot of possession. They should be looking for a Spanish granny!

A wee bit unfair on Ward. He showed once more how pivotal he is to our system. I never thought I'd see the day when we need a keeper who can put his foot on the ball, but his timing of the pass and his distribution continues to play a key role in our tactics. Must be murder to play against. If you stay deep, we knock it about until we find the chance to play it through the lines. If you high press, Ward can dink it over you 30 or 40 yards to one of our midfielders.

Another Saturday, another 3 points, another clean sheet.

Actually play football 2 - 0 Earn the right to play football Take your pick...

I want Killie and Livi to go down.

We'll get another goal about 5 minutes after St Mirren are reduced to 10 men.

Not a good look - and definitely not necessary.

6 million now.

And also who woulda thunk asking footballers to play football would have met with such resistance from certain quarters?

Aye that's Lennon Miller money, and as much as I like him he's no Lennon Miller.

Could you name 5 of those 10 that we can bring in?

If he fancies an insta-loan to Sheffield Wednesday, it could be a good move for him.

Not that I don't like Maswinhese, but I'd give them cash and JT for Welsh.

I'd love to see Slattery stay too. If he wants a change however, he is at the perfect stage in his career to move on. So I wouldn't be surprised if he goes.

The boss was talking him up earlier in the week and expected him to be available "unless the plane gets lost". Also gave a shout out to the goal he scored. Of course, he could be playing his 3D chess and not planning to involve him, but in theory at least he should be in the mix.

If he keeps playing at his current level Celtic will likely want to sell him on for a million or two in the summer.

I thought Stuperevic was still weeks (or months) away from competitive fitness.

I'm sure everybody is mentioning Jens as a replacement, because that's the way football works and he is flavour of the month. There are plenty of other managers that play the same style, so it shouldn't be difficult to recruit one of the hundreds that implement the same philosophy. Elliott Watt has played for Wolves, Carlisle Utd, Salford City, Burton Albion and St Johnstone, and I heard him in an interview saying every one of those teams (including Carlisle Utd) had managers that played the same way - which is why he found the transition to be straightforward. If Carlisle can find a manager to implement it, surely Celtic or Aberdeen can find someone too. It would be ironic if they want to implement something progressive by following the well worn path of poaching a rival boss.
