No-one knows for sure, but I'm assuming JBA will be offski and has probably already been sounded out by clubs higher up the food chain than us. However I trust the directors have a very good idea of the kind of manager that now suits us and will source another in the same vein. We are a selling club and it may well be that some or all of Just, Manwhanise, Said and Watt move on for healthy fees. Welsh will also be moving on. Those fees will greatly help the club financially long term. As we sourced Manwhanise, Just, Watt etc we can source equally good replacements, but the difference this time will be that we'll know were our weaknesses lie. We're a good footballing side but management will know that we lack bottle, hardness and ruthlessness and that will be addressed.

Good post Grizzly. We have a helluva fight on our hands to hold onto 4th place. Lets get behind the team. By next weekend Hibs will likely be just 4 pts below us. Then 2 huge games against them and Falkirk. The 2 easiest games of our run in. We've come a long way in 1 year. But we're very much work in progress as Dundee pointed out today. If that result can bring a few of us back to reality then its been a good day.

I think we have all got carried away thinking we could actually win the league. Our aim is to make sure we finish 4th. 2nd defeat in 20 games . Rewind 13 months and we were at end of Kettlewell reign. Shows you how far we have progressed since then.

Busted flush. Nearly men are never remembered. Need to add RB and quality CB next year

4 defeats in the league all season, the first in nearly 3 months and all of a sudden the players are full of themselves or we need X, Y and Z. Sometimes it'll just be an off day or luck won't quite be in your favour. If people can't just accept that without the character assassinations in this season of all seasons then I honestly don't know how you manage to go about your daily life.

Dundee got their tactics spot on …..leaving both wings open and encouraging us to try and play through the middle……we never took advantage of this and unfortunately lost a soft goal…….the second half was better when we did have bit of width and failed to take our chances and lost the second trying to win the game We need to start having a shot instead of trying to score the perfect goal / walking the ball in the net Some of the pish spouted at the final whistle and on here is beyond belief ….we lost our FOURTH league game of the season FFS !!!

See you next season, enjoy your extended break. What an absurd take on things.

This is the most sensible post that’s been posted on here today and it resonates completely. This season has been very good for us and we have played some brilliant football throughout which have helped bring about some great results. But ultimately it’s yet another very good Motherwell side who will have nothing to show for it come the end of the season. And this year it feels even more of a missed opportunity given that we had the team to achieve something while both Old Firm teams have had their worst seasons in decades at the same time. We will be waiting a long, long time before that happens again. And before anyone asks the question “ahh but would you swap our season of great football for St.Mirren’s season, however that ends up for them in the league”? then yes, you better believe I would because they won silverware and have tangible success to point to from this season while we, yet again, have none.

I'm being realistic. We have won nothing. Yes playing good football but who realistically thinks jba will be there next season? Had some good nights especially at Mirren but Mwell always selling club old firm will improve next season. I wish we do keep manager and players but without proper money behind us it's not realistic.

No its not, it will be in 9 games then its prize time, and we can all start planning the European tour, with the club counting the mllions in prize money. There is still a lot to play for, we may not win the title, but we will have a big say in who does, hopefully at the expense of both ugly sisters.

Bet your having a happy Saturday night, away and wring yer pants oot.

Shat it, again. Season over.

Just checked bbc stats,21 shots 9 on target, some of the shooting was woeful tbf . Dundee had 2 shots on target...like I say good luck to them...plenty had written Pressley off before season.

Today. Dundee had just over 30% possession. They scored twice. Had a goal chalked off for offside and hit the underside of the bar. That's being efficient. Too many times we don't turn possession and touches in the opposition box into goals. We need more strength in the midfield to win tackles. Too many times Dundee easily won the ball in the midfield and broke forward. We need to find ways to win scrappy physical games. The balance between finesse and strength is not quite right. We are a better footballing team than Dundee for sure but we need to add some physical strength.

Can't see us improving next season as probably half team will be sold and manager off also. Every season is rebuild for Mwell unless we sell one player and invest wisely.

Probably, the Falkirk and Hibs games will be a better test. Celtic are a better team than us, and if we take anything from next week's game it will be a surprise, although not impossible.

I agree with most of that Jim but in the cold light of day this team is excellent but simply not good enough to win silverware. Or, should I say, lacks the necessary qualities. Margins are thin, but but good football alone wins nothing. Lets just enjoy the football and irrespective of whether we end up 4th or 5th it will have been a great season and gives us hope that we can improve for next season.

We had plenty shots at goal, about half a dozen. Let's not change yhe narrative, we didn't defend well enough today but we are a far better team than Dundee...fair play to them

If only we could have been slightly better away from home. The only team that has got results away regularly are Hearts and they are top. We lack something different in attack when teams play so deep and negatively. Something to improve on. Dundee did this against Celtic. But Celtic got their usual 10 mins on extra time.

It’ll be really interesting how we recover from this today in next weeks game. I’m hoping to see some real determination at Celtic park and I hope that defeat today hurts the players and hurts Askou

Ifs buts and maybes, sentimental pish, we are having a great season and its not over yet, so lets all get behind the team ans see where we end up.

Next season we could easily be without half the team and manager so that really was our one chance at being legends. As with every Mwell team, most leave after season if playing well. So close but so far from glory !

I actually thought Priestman played well when he came on.

I never thought we'd finish in the top 3 and today's result hasn't changed my mind. There's still a lot to play for as 4th place is by no means guaranteed. I felt that, going into today's game, we needed to keep our feet on the ground. That result today will help and temper the expectations of many. If there was any doubt about our lack of bottle and ruthlessness then Dundee have removed that. It will prove to be a valuable lesson going forward. We're having a fantastic season, but still have shortcomings that need rectified

Fair enough. Never saw a replay.
