He’s having a great season

Well, Livi did draw with Rangers so still hoping Aberdeen can take some points off Celtic. Would be great to go into game at parkhead above them. Of course we have to take care of our business and get 3 points at Dens first.

slats is putting in a ton of work nowadays and looked like he wanted a goal today maybe get a few the next couple of games.

Another clean sheet. The best goal difference in the league. Playing the best/most entertaining football. Have to keep pinching myself.

Celtic have 3 bruising games before they play us. 2 x rangers plus dons at Aberdeen. Meanwhile we have Dundee away. So hopefully they might be hurting a bit when they play us.

Dundee have improved. I think we will need to be more focused than we were today. We didn’t really need to push ourselves to win today’s game and I think that resulted in a bit of complacency and slackness creeping into our game

We need Hearts to drop a point, aside from us beating them, for the last statement to be true

We are getting a bit sloppy and lackadaisical

And wicked spin

C’mon ‘Well. Let’s get an early second goal.

Usual story. Very comfortable but need to score some goals to kill the game.

Of course we don’t want our players doing that but my point was that he got a lot more stick than I recall any other player getting. And the officials got off almost Scot free. Had they dealt with it appropriately Slattery would have got his yellow right on the spot.

I think Fadinger adds a little steel to the midfield that Watt and Priestman don’t offer.

I’ll be happy with whatever JBA decides. Tough choice But isn’t it great that we are struggling to pick which one to leave out because they are all so good.

Considering the number of players from all teams who have done this sort of thing prior to Slats incident. He has taken a disproportionate amount of flak, especially considering that JBA is one of the few managers (only?) who has stood up and addressed the issue with his own player for all to see. We are done with it now so they can all go take a flying duck to themselves. I hope Slats plays a blinder and scores a hat trick …………. To match the one I hope JT scores ! as a point if interest, autocorrect changed flying duck to the phrase I was trying to avoid and I had to go back and manually correct it 😂

We have definitely done a lot of great work but as JBA keeps reminding us amd we all know, we have to keep up and improve over the last 11 games COYW!!!!

I think 13 of the 18 we gave up in the first round of fixtures

Killie and Falkirk scored 2 each at first park in first round of fixtures

JT been a bit on the quiet side of late so tomorrow would be a good time For him to burst back into life. I’d Like to see us try a different kick off tactic. Just give the ball to Said and let him have a go at dribbling thru the opposition to score 😃

Over the last 6 games Motherwell 14 Celtic 13 Ramgers 12 hearts 10 hibs 10 falkirk 9

Jen’s moving into politics when he gives up football.

I think it’s fairly certain that no matter how much we could offer JBA any decent sized club can easily top any monetary offer from us. So pretty much it’s all Down to JBA and how much is he enjoying his work, how much does he want to stay and see how far he can take Motherwell and is he confident and patient enough to wait another year or so to move into a much higher paid position. Hopefully MFC are already making a short list of options to replace JBA when he leaves. Is that our current assistant? I don’t know. Whoever it is has to continue the approach that JBA has established.

Definitely, if We win both games it piles the pressure on rangers and Celtic. They have a cup game as well as a league game to kick lumps out of each other. its hard to see us winning all of our remaining games but likewise it’s also hard to see any of the top 6 teams winning all their games. This is why it is important to focus on one game at a time. You can only win one game at a time. I didn’t mention Hearts but we need them to be dropping points. With respect to finishing above the arse cheeks we already have that within our own control.

When is Johnny K due back for selection?

We are due to have 3 away and 2 home post split, which works in with us playing Hearts and Celtic at Fir park with rangers, Falkirk and hibs away. So not sure that they can mess with us.
