Johnny K in full training yesterday from pics shown, so any knock he had was obviously a minor one. Good news going into an important 7 days of football.

Not tempting fate ahead of tonight but in last 12 league games we have kept 10 clean sheets and only lost 1 goal at ibrox at easter road. To keep that form going will be a tough ask especially if we stsrt getting injuries. However be great to win tonight and set us up for a massive 2 games in cup and league next wed. COYW

I think we can get third place. We will catch one of the three. that’s my gut feeling.

The split will be carnage and teams will be taking points off each other left, right and centre. Whilst winning the league may just be a bridge too far, a Skippy Sunday scenario isn't beyond the realms of possibility. If we can win tonight and next wed, then 2nd/3rd is in the mix.

As long as we keep winning, what’s going on around us doesn’t really matter.

It's nice to be in the conversation without the pressure of being directly in the mix. Maybe the stealth approach will see us sneak up a position or two in the last few weeks.

But if we win tomorrow we are only 8 off the top. If we then win our next league game then we are only 2 behind rangers Hearts are missing Shankland and Devlin for a few games and might struggle over the next few games. Any team is capable of dropping points against almost any other team in the run in. So I don’t think we need to win all of our games but if we did I’m pretty sure that would guarantee us being champions.

The only way I'd have any sort of hope is if we're within 4 points of the top going into the split at that point there's a chance right now it's a distant thought we're 11 of the top and would have to win Home and away against all 3 title challengers as well as winning basically all of our other games.

I think that probably is the next best solution it also keeps a balance to the shape that a right footer there doesn't give us I feel when JK is there we literally have no width on that side and everything goes back central.

Right now it's unlikely. Not impossible, but unlikely. Win a few more this month and let's see what happens.

No. We can but hope

Following the match online, I found myself in a bit of a dilemma. I would be beyond myself on every level measurable if we were to win the league but am realistic enough to realize that this is highly improbable., I lived in Edinburgh for most of my life so have a well merited dislike of Hearts. I have no real liking for St Mirren either when it comes down to it. I really detest the Old Firm. As such, I am prepared to accept the possibility of Hearts winning the league as being better than either of the bigot brothers doing so, especially as I now live on the other side of the world from Edinburgh. As such, Hearts losing is, from my original perspective, a poor result. This quandary has caused me to pause and consider ultimately what would be a good result for us tomorrow. I originally felt that a win would be fantastic and a draw, away from home against an improving Dundee side, would be acceptable in the circumstances. However, having taken the opportunity to delve deeply into my soul, I have come to the only logical and reasonable conclusion that only a win for us will do. It is not for any personal hope that I may revel in the glory of my team's success, or any misguided idea that their victory will make me, in any way, a better person. I am saying this because I honestly think that this Motherwell side winning the league will be a universally good thing. I believe that us winning the league will be a win for the good guys. The little guys who play by the rules and play the game the way it should be played. As such, I can claim with all honesty, sincerity and altruistically that a win for Motherwell is a win for football, a win for Scotland, and, in these dark and troubled days, a win for the whole of mankind. Too much?

St Mirren were good value for their win, plenty of chances, Hearts made a few but by the highlights Hearts would have been fortunate to get a point

That's them officially bottled it now.

SODs and Johnny K are both comfortable at left back. Wouldn't be my first choice, but not something I'd be too worried about if they are played there.

I see they lost 1-0, not what champions do?

Not ideal but Halliday can cover as left back when he’s fit. He played left back under Gerrard at Rangers …. For most of that season I think? and he also was left back when he played down south at Middlesbrough and Bradford. ok his legs are a bit gone but he knows the system and he is a good passer of the ball. He could do a Stevie Hammell job in an emergency

Aye ok then, Robinson is not one of the few

If he was JBA would have him strolling round the park like Maldini

I take it Tony Straker wasn't available? 🤣🤣🤣

100% we do have a chance here…. We are a good side. 3 points tomorrow and then the game against the knuckle draggers will be huge.

Need to win tomorrow night now. Do that and win next Wednesday and we can start to dream.....

Absolutely. McGhee and McGinn can also play on the right but not on the left. LB is a weak area.

Suddenly tomorrow just gets even more important, could be 8pts off lead if we can take care of Dundee

Maybe the change in the board has changed attitudes. With more football based decisions from people on the board who maybe actually, know a bit about football no just running a business. Starting with signing Wimmer, then handling him leaving really well, then signing JBA after doing the ground work to identify him and getting him on board. Then buying into his style of football ,supporting him by bringing I'm players he obviously identified. Resisting wasting good money on panic buys to fill in squad places. Quality rather than quantity. I think there has been a total change of attitude at the top of the club and it is obvious to see. Which they all deserve credit for. This team is a joy to watch as it is.
