Ya Bezzer!

Don't really agree with that. I was hoping for a Ross County win. Another 3 points ahead of Killie and 2 ahead of Accies and another game scored off. 1 more win will do it for us. However, we should be aiming for 7th place now.

With 20 minutes to go we should all still be shitting it

Well we could relax for all of a couple of minutes!

Livingston are stuffy but most definitely beatable - provided we put in a performance. Potentially two and maybe all three teams below us could drop points today so a win today would be absolutely massive. A win and a draw in the next two pretty much keeps us up.

Top 3 keeper in the league with McGregor and Siegrist.

On this 'logic' Hamilton are much better than us.

Even his stint as manager was before my time but undoubtably one of our all time great players and he always came across as a good guy that never forgot his roots. It's a sad day for Motherwell FC.

Bartley, Pittman, Forrest, Guthrie....I think their full backs have been better than ours so you could have Devlin and Serrano in there. I'd also say Mullin is probably better than any wide player we have at the moment. Efe Ambrose would probably start in our team and are guys like Sibbald, Lawson, Holt, lesser players than Crawford, O'Hara, Maguire, Polworth etc? Don't think so. Crawford is here because he hasn't featured at Livingston this season. If you look at most teams outside the Top 4 you could probably pick 4 or 5 from each that would play for any other team and the reason for that is there really isn't a lot between any of the teams.

I think this is a good time to face Livingston. Often when a team wins a trophy their form drops off afterward. And of course if they lose their confidence will be down. But without wishing to be disrespectful we should be winning at home against Livingston anyway if we want to do anything at this level of football. Livingston are a decent enough team, 5 or 6 of their players would walk into our team, but it's just the reality for us that we need to win home matches against bottom and mid league teams. We have to make it happen and I think we will make it happen. And if we can go on to 35 points and then don't lose at Kilmarnock then I think we are more or less safe at that point. I mean, I think we are already probably safe but that would basically sign of another year in the Premiership.

If you got relegated off 2 defeats in a row we'd be playing in league sponsored by the local corner shop!

Superb result. Major step towards survival.

I'm being troubled by a feelings of lightness of head and giddiness. Should I phone NHS Direct?

9 league goals in two seasons and nearly 50 appearances. So in a way you are right that his attitude isn't really relevant. Not good enough. Tatty bye.

It's worth noting that Hibs overall home record ain't that great this season although they have won the last three. Hoping rather than expecting but we did get a point last time over there.

How I see it for what it's worth. If correct, and almost certainly won't be, we'd have virtually no chance of getting relegated.

Exactly the same formations from both teams as the last match where we dominated the first half completely and came away with a point. Robinson often brought players back early for injury and got pelters for it as it generally didn't work out.

We gotta go in positive. We've got an opportunity here to go 7 points clear of the relegation places.

Let's be honest about this - Motherwell FC have had a very charmed life. We really should have been relegated before and I think under fan ownership it's only really a matter of time before we are relegated. A club of our size and budget just isn't going to survive in the Premiership indefinitely. Even if we escape relegation this season (I think we will) it's bound to happen sooner or later. I just can't see us surviving, say, another 10 seasons in a row in the Premiership. So while relegation is more bad than good, I think we need to think of it as a strong possibility in the immediate future of the club and something we need to be prepared for as supporters and as an organisation.

They still nearly got relegated though! And the current situation is better if only because we aren't playing in quarters.

He's 2021 on Transfermarkt but obviously I'd take the club site as a more authoritative source.

CONTRACTED TO 2022 Carson, Lawless, Watt, Donnelly, Lamie, O'Hara, Grimshaw (!!!), McGinlay OUT OF CONTRACT MAY 2021 Everyone else.

I have a friend that is a Falkirk supporter. He's always saying that the club lost it's heart when they scrapped their youth system. For me the youth system has been massively beneficial to Motherwell down the years and perhaps my greatest fear would be that if we found ourselves outside the top tier for any length of time we would cut back or scrap completely youth development.

It's not nothing. It's taken Kilmarnock 10 matches to acquire their last 4 points and they only have 8 matches left. And assuming they did make up the 4 points in the next 8 we'd have to not take a single point for the rest of the season which, even by the most negative forecasts, seems unlikely, for them to catch us. Out of our four fixtures going to the split we have't lost ANY of the corresponding fixtures this season (1 win, 3 draws) and I think it's nonsense to say we are in worse form now than the rest of the season. In fact if you look at the last 8 matches of the relegation candidates it's as follows - Motherwell 10 pts, Ross County 10 pts, Hamilton 5 pts, Kilmarnock 0 pts. We might get relegated but let's put it into perspective. Right now, we have the best chance of surviving of any of the bottom 4.

I think the chances of us finishing bottom are slim with a 4 point advantage over three other teams, a game in hand over some and the 2nd best goal difference from 4. So I'm saying the likelihood is if we did go down it would be via the play offs. So you have us losing a play off to Raith Rovers or Dundee?

I've seen Motherwell beat Celtic with Jamie Dolan in goals.
