Really good first half. Poor second half. Twardzik fast becoming my favourite player. Team gave it their all but we've been left with a team that is not good enough to compete with the better teams in this league. Sad to see Lawson go off injured after his best 45 minutes for Motherwell. Most alarming stat of the day was the attendance. 2,800 Motherwell fans at FP for a Scottish Cup game. Time those remaining in the Motherwell hierarchy, Society included, take some responsibility for running the club into the ground.

A season ticket which would have previously got you in for free tomorrow. Not this year though, fans had to up their game in order to maintain budget and calibre of player...

Pretty grim if true but it questions the merit of the scaremongering tone that accompanied the £10k loan letter.

So the confidentiality is down to the potential backer of the 'Well Society. Fair enough. Does the 'Well Society know the detail of competing takeover bids?

Not the same since they moved it from January. Armstrong looked to be back on form last week and I can't see us riding our luck again. 0-4 despite Ciftci being suspended.

Cheers for the update Steelboy. So is the Society goal the original £800k or the additional £1mil?

If it wasn't for the society, maybe we'd have cut our cloth accordingly a couple of years ago as opposed to providing a safety net for wreckless budgeting and boosting Dempster's profile.

It seems fans will be informed of fan ownership after a deal has been concluded.

So for legal reasons in these delicate times, there will be no update on Motherwell's ownership at tomorrow's Well Society meeting. I don't mind being patient during such critical times but with McCall jumping ship, time is of the essence.

So, not the first time we've been well beaten by a John Hughes team. For all his critics, he is capable of getting a well drilled team on the park playing good football. The results just don't seem to be sustainable over a season. Black's comments post match were in stark contrast to what we've came accustomed to during the McCall years. Rarely has the player's dedication and desire been called into question.

I think Erwin, Moore, Cadden and Thomas provide scope for optimism should they be given the chance, however they need better quality and experience around them. When you've got boys like Kerr and Reid at fullback who struggle to control a ball, complimented by no steel or creativity in midfield, we don't have a squad capable of providing a platform for the young ones to flourish. Here's hoping for sweeping changes on and off the park in the coming months that focuses on providing an environment for young talent to develop.

No surprise with result and reported performance.

No idea of their origin but there is clearly other parties looking to take us over this month. Lasley and Black were relatively open about the uncertainty in yesterday's press conference.

Hard for fans to prevent if we continue to be kept in the dark.

Think it was initially mentioned that he would be out for 5/6 weeks. Years of playing through niggles maybe catching up with him.

Usually the section that resides in Motherwell. In saying that, admin isn't far fetched when you think how John Boyle soft loans have kept us afloat in recent years. You wonder what would happen if a takeover wasn't to come to fruition this month.

Lol. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/craig-whyte-profile-the-scots-billionaire-1076110

Would be pleasantly surprised if we could come close to repeating the Dundee United performance. Think Inverness will be too good for us in midfield and I think our lack of quality at the back will undermine the potential of Ainsworth, Vigurs and Ojamaa. 2-0 Inverness.

Outwith those backing the 'Well Society, is there potentially an alternative local offer on the table?

Cracking result. From any highlights I see, we are pressing and moving the ball well from middle to front. JJ seems to be doing a good job and judging by his post match interviews, he comes across as the type of character you want for developing kids,

Couldn't see us appointing a new manager given the uncertainty over ownership. Hopefully it is resolved by the end of the month and Black and the players can do the business while we are in limbo. Crunch games are coming thick and fast.

Lasley said we tried it in Perth. Actually reminded me of how Ojamaa and Law used to link up.

How chuffed did McCall look last night. Revitalised.

While interviewing McManus on the radio, Peter Martin indicated that ownership will be decided in the next week.

I'd have taken Adams a few years back, based on the rise of Ross County and their approach and performance in the Celtic semi. Since then though, Ross County's style of football has gradually deteriorated. He's also burned a lot of bridges in Scottish football. For one that holds a grudge, I can't see him returning to Fir Park and hitting it off. Would take him over the likes of Leitch though.
