Definitely think we should be splurging out to keep JBA here for at least another season. For sure, keeping him from any other Scottish team. it would be tremendous if we could have him committ to another season before he considers any offers from England or mainland Europe.

Our lads need to be on top form for this one. If we can play our regular possession game then perhaps we can come away with a win but the way Hibs are going at the moment a draw would be a good result, a win would be an excellent result. Hope the good Maswanhise turns up.

RIP Mr Chapman. MFC forever.

Is he available in this window or are we talking about next season?

Did I just hear a woooshing noise above my head??

We would be stupid to sell Watt now so hopefully the board are of the same opinion.

I’d Like to see Aberdeen get a draw or win at Ibrox this evening to keep rangers within a game of us. Pretty impressive to see us with the best defensive record after practically 2 rounds of fixtures. So fingers crossed we keep that going against Hibs.

I thought we had already agreed with Celtic that he was staying here till end of season? Once agreed (contracted?) can they change their mind? I assume it would depend on any written contract details? So maybe maybe not.

I’d like to think that he’s not even considering leaving this season but I am hoping for at least another season but I’m sure he will have offers. Will be up to him if he wants to see how far he can take this. more importantly for MFC is that we continue to find coaches with the same approach. JBA is obviously not the only coach in the world who has this outlook but probably the issue for us is finding replacements in our price range.

Hopefully at least another season to lift a euro trophy 😀

I’m just hoping they Don’t injure half the team. I didn’t realise how bad they were. Just had a look at the championship table. The only way we get beat here is by being overconfident and thinking we just have to turn up and we’re thru. The team best take it seriously and put in a professional performance.

Wonder if some of the younger kids that have been on the bench will get a bit more time in this game? Perhaps depend on how game goes or does he start them and bring on experience players if required?

So anyway………… where’s our league winning goal scorer? Is he on his way yet?

I like that also but his pals need to keep an eye on him any time some trouble pops up. I think he could get himself a red card when he gets riled up. Needs a minder to drag him away.

I just read Aberdeen sacked Thelin. Is that true? right before two games against rangers this coming week.

Yes, bottom line pretty much always comes down to what the player wants, which is as it should be. However, what annoys me is agents/potential buyers getting inside players heads while they still have year+ of contract to go, basically unsettling them so that keeping them becomes almost impossible and you are practically forced into selling them.

I suppose MFC will be doing what they can to keep Jens and keep players here so we can benefit from them playing for us but also not end up letting players go for zero. For once it would be great to see a Motherwell team, especially this one, go into European competition with the same team that qualified. Long term, we have to do what we can to maintain this approach to football and not revert back to”guid laddies” and “right to play” hoofball crap.

Wouldn’t sell any players, we would rather keep, to another Scottish team.

Wrong thread?

I think they’d certainly benefit from a wee bit of coaching. Just likes to take an extra touch/cut back. Slats has the power to hit ones from outside the box more often. Said needs a bit more composure around the box. He has incredible skills but seems his brain goes haywire the closer he gets to goal. however, they are still great to watch amd if they can improve their game, who knows where we will end up.

I thought we showed a bit of grit and determination today added to our football. While St Mirren are probably physically stronger than us, we didn’t let them push us around and the defence coped very well with Saints predictable high balls into the box.

Big Hanley will be fired up for this game I bet! Let’s hope he doesn’t do us at corner kicks

Just for me. His work rate off the ball is phenomenal but it’s not just aimless running, I think he is a big contributor to our clean sheets in that he slows the opposition down giving our defense time to organize. Add to that he intercepts and steals the ball more often than he should. Last of all, he is a delight to watch on the ball.

Yes, as JBA has mentioned and demonstrated, it’s a squad effort and it’s over the whole Season.
