cheers orinocco

hope we can back lots more to make the goal difference better

anyone got a link for streaming?

We have a chance to go into the post split games where 4 teams could be battling to stay out of the play off spot. Partick play Celtic and us. Killie play celtic and Aberdeen so hopefully those two are getting " nil point" over the next 2 games. So post split could be starting from the placings below if we can keep it together. I'd be happy for ST Johnstone and St Mirren to take ppoints off County thogh. Accies 43 Killie 38 County 37 Partick 35 'well 34 St Mirren

I'm just hoping that we can win our next 2 and Ross county loose their next 2. So Partick wil be dragged into it, maybe even Killie but even then with 5 games to go after the split it is going to be nerve jangling stuff

I think the manager has a couple of positions to ponder over the next day or so. We have been doing well but seems like its only a matter of time before the goalie and left back positions cost us points. The probem beng that we don't have stick on better options. Does he stay with current options and hope they don't cost us or does he replace them and hope the replacements don't cost us. Tough decisions and I'm not sure what i would do if i was him.

Not sure why Dom Thomas would not slot in for Johnston. But with Johnston having been playing so well it's a good sign to pick up 3 points away at killie without him. You have to wonder how many errors will Long be allowed to make before reverting back to Dan? Seems like he is not any better at cross balls and posisbly not as good a shot stopper as Dan. will it make any difference which one is in? I'm not sure. Now that we are having a good spell and confidence is growing the players need to maintain the same intenisty til lthe end of the season. Every point will have to be fought for, we simply cannot afford to go into a game expecting to be given 3 points. St mirren fighting for their survival, Ross county on a great run, Killie and Thistle probably now seeing themselves getting drawn into play off spot if they dont pick up points. So every gane from now till end of season wil lbe a battle for survival for both teams.

Yep! the only thing we need to focus on right now is beating St Mirren. WOuld be great if we could repeat accies score but any score will do as long as it is a win. Although St Mirren may be bottom i am pretty sure it wil lnot be an easy game so lets hope the players continue to show up like they have been doing.

Money aside since i have no clue about fact or rumorurs, I owuld keep him. He is a goal scorer, and if pressing high up the field will be our plan A just recall all the whining on here about McCall not having a plan B. edit: plus he's handsome

While I agree with the comments regarding Erwin scoring I think everyone can relax and just wait for it to happen. I don't think it's anything to worry about or dwell on since he is playing well and the team are picking up points. Although though in saying that and inferring that it shouldnt negatively affect his confidence i think him actually getting a goal or two is going to be the icing on the cake and bosst his confidence no end. Actually think he may have got a little confidenc boost last night ( not sure if on purpose or not from IB ) As sutton stood on the sideline to come on the TV showe Erwin looking over, obviously expecting to see hi snumber held up but instead it was Skippy to come off. I think that will give him a little extra confidence. I thought last night was his best game yet.

will be watchin the scores tomorrow hoping Kille win at least 5 - 0 and victories for Caley and St Johnstone

great to see Erwin Moore Thomas all on the field at the same time. And Leitch on the way back so good group of young players coming along. I thought Erwin played great tonight, best game I've seen him have. Cut into the goal difference a good bit. Excellent night all round with only one exception.........We give the ball away needlessly too many times

so same team as at aberdeen?

I use it every matchday I'm all for keeping it. Also good for asking for tips on other non related football items and genral banter. not many people around here to "banter" with about Motherwell FC

I can recall 1 post advocating that sutton start on Friday. I think the majorty are recognizing the type of game it will be and suggestiong that Erwin starts. On the other hand I think we are expecting ( hoping? ) that we will be pressing forward against accies and that perhaps Sutton might be the better choice for starter in that game.

Would be handy if we could merge both their good qualities into one player so we didn't have to choose!

I think i would keep Erwin for this game for his mobility. I don't see us pressuring Aberdeen like we did Killie. I would hope against Accies we wil be pressuring and I can see Sutton being the one to start there.

So how much are you betting on us to win then?

another convesation come to a halt LOL

Scary how old we are gettin ! I remember goin to reserve games and watchin Dixie Deans.

I really believe that there are many punters on here who could have selected a better team for Saturdays game against Dundee and went with different tactics. Of course a purely hypothetical siuation but since we ended up with zero points anyone on here would not have done any worse. I am normally one to give people a chance but so far he has made decisions on the 3 items below and in my opinion has drastically failed in all 3 categories. it also seems he has been unable to instil lsome spirit into the team, admittedely probably much harder thah the 3 he's already failed on. I also think that if fans had seen some marked improvement on the field, that even if we were still in same position, they would be more willing to support him. Sometimes you have to just face up to situations and admit your mistakes. For the board, this may be one of those times. team selection, team tactics new signings.

I think he has to take some of the blame but probably agree that most of it is down to the players.

.............and so the english language continues to evolve...

The fact that we are starting to see the youngsters like Erwin, Thomas, Watt, and Moore come into the team may be the one bright spot in this season from hell.

I'm just waiting on hom scoring an OG
