I think the scottish press are trying to a job of that as they all seem to just assume Jens will go to Sellik. Usual plan just to unsettle team. Hopefully all ignored by Jens and players and we focus on remaining 11 games. We cant afford any slip ups so here's hoping for another huge crowd to roar on the lads. COYW

If we can get wins against both the Dundee teams we are 100% in the title race. Any less than 6 points I think the dream may be derailed

If Fadinger starts he's probably a straight swap for Priestman, but it would be rough on any of Saturday's midfield if they were dropped. They bossed it.

(Assuming we dont win it) I hope hearts win the league by 3 points after playing one more home game than the OF. A joint OF conspiracy crusade would sustain me through the summer. For us, I'm hoping we have a home game in the last week of the season so I can come home and see this team in the flesh just once. (I wouldn't go to Rangers or celtic away even if we could win the league there, and tickets would be tricky for the other games. ) For Saturday, Fadinger should be back, and you could see him coming in for any of the midfield 3. I'd hate to see Slattery dropped for inventing cheating, but Priestman would be very unlucky to miss out, and Watt just makes us much better. Other than that, I don't expect much rotation. It should be our best XI after a weeks rest. Utd wont be easy, and I can see them sitting in. We will once again give up a golden opportunity to the opposition in the first 5 mins, then after that hopefully we can settle into our game and be patient.

Thanks for sharing, I've missed having a dedicated motherwell podcast. If you ever need a gobshite to guest on the show, let me know.

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.

Based on a (non-fact checked) chat with my hearts supporting mate - based on the current top 6 hearts are due 4 away fixtures including Falkirk, so I'd assume that one will change to tynecastle... meaning Falkirk 19/19 and hearts 20/18. If true probably works out nicely for the powers at be... they wont upset the OF on that, nor do Hibs out a home derby. Just hope they dont take the opportunity to shaft us! (Again!)

Obviously hoping we get all 3 points in our game but I’m also hoping that the arse cheeks kick lumps out of each other on the Sunday, resulting in perhaps some red cards and maybe a few injuries to weaken them over the next few games.

Its a long week without midweek games!

Good listen! Is this going to be a regular/ weekly production? I've found a few motherwell podcasts in the past which i enjoyed, but all seem to be quite irregular. Look forward to hearing more anyway 👍

Is it no Saturday yet? 🥱

Excellent work guys. Enjoyed that.

Almost needed subtitles to listen to it though Andy articulate. Really grinds me how sellik fan pundits obviously trying to unsettle team bu constantly saying Askou is a favourite to go there. Hopefully he has seen himself what the old firm are like and instead wants to make us the scottish bodo-glimt. Fingers crossed

Good work lads, really enjoyed it and great to watch a podcast ehere Askou isn't a shoe in to go to Sellik

Enjoying it so far.

Open goal is worth the watch this week, Motherwell mentioned throughout but primarily from about the 1hr mark. Quite interesting stuff considering it’s hosted by Ferry and Slane. Good to hear Jamie Murphy’s thoughts as well and he even mentioned the legend that is Jim Gannon.

Think its encouraging that £4m/£5m is now the standard figure quoted.

Listened to it the other day. Quality. Good to have another 'Well podcast.

Davie Cooper would have been 70 today. Tragically taken from us far too young. Still one of best players I ever saw in a well jersey

I suppose the weird thing about this summer is we could be JBA, Just, Maswanhise down but the club could be the best part of £10M up of the back of 1 good season.

Absolutely. No way the club are turning that kind of money down. Its our model after all. We take it and invest modestly in the next Maswanhise. It also takes any pressure of taking low ball offers for any of our other players. "Meet the valuation or bugger off!" This summer is going to be an entirely new experience for us as a club. One where we are not just clearing the decks to try and get rid of the deadwood, but trying to hold onto as much of this squad as we can, whilst at the same time not standing in the way of players career development. The only hope is that Jens is still the guy overseeing it and we are not looking for a new manager as well.

I still don't know how we ended up in the T6 and Europe that season we were horrendous after Watt left. The fact we tried to build our defence around Rickie Lamie at a point in time is also concerning looking back on it.
