Will be interesting to see what Celtic do in January. Do they back Nancy and let him spend to try and win a league title? Or sit on the fence in case they need to punt him too? Given the politics of the situation, I imagine their Board would be much less unhappy conceding the title to Hearts than they would see it end up at Ibrox. Dream scenario for us is winning both OF games while Hearts are losing. More realistic for now is we are in a fight to hang on to 3rd and then see what happens after that.

If we remain unbeaten through the next two games we are in with a realistic chance of finishing 2,3 or 4 and an outside chance of 1 Hearts wouldn’t need to have a total collapse but a few more draws or loose the odd game here and there would bring them back much closer to us. Unless Celtic and Rangers drastically improve over January both of them are capable of dropping points against any team in the league. as someone stated earlier, this is not a normal season.

Who are you? And what have you done with the real MJC?

They are probably trying to deter the scum / animals who destroy fir park every time they visit. However easier said than done.

That was exact strategy sign dozens in the hope of getting one or two decent ones.

They ask what your view is on Tom Boyd - the answer given proves who the well fans are

You’d think they would make it easy for motherwell supporters to buy tickets, especially for such a big game. Surely a better way than having to go to the office. How do they know they are selling to Motherwell supporters?

I met Stevie Kirk at our local coup this afternoon. Looking well and very pleased with our current form.

For security reasons apparently after the last Celtic fiasco.

That’s crazy, I didn’t realise that. You’d have thought if you have a Motherwell account/ password and have bought tickets before you’d have the option to buy?

Can't believe you can't buy a ticket online or PATG for celtic game. Everyone who doesn't have a season ticket will need to go through that tiny wee office...

The law of averages means you could get one right eventually.

You missed out the bit about not having the referees in our pocket like the arse cheeks. But you never know I imagine Leicester fans were thinking the same when they won the league but as everyone on here knows you are the ultimate pessimist. Keep believing, you never know.

But....but.....but......Kettlewell signed Theo Bair apparently 🤣🤣

There every reason to suspect JBA has an eye for a player unlike Kettlewells scatter gun approach so we could see some decent transfer activity and with Jordan McGhee on the verge of selection we could end January with the strongest squad we've had in many a year.

The fact we are talking about outside chance of title shows the progress under JBA. Could all go pear shaped next 2 games but if we could come away with say 3 or 4 pts it would be great. No way are we winning league and imo 4th is our aim. However we have all that Miller money so no reason why we cant try and get a few gems in January or some clever loan deals especially players needing game time for world cup chances

If you'd told me this time last year that we'd soon be arguing about whether we had the strength in depth to be considered genuine title contenders I'd have laughed in your face. However this season ends up, that's progress!

There definitely is some ignorance in that but there is also some truth. We don’t have the depth that Hearts and the Old Firm have and as we saw at the weekend we struggle to create that spark when Maswanhise isn’t in the side. We also aren’t nearly strong enough up front to be considered as in the mix for the title race. Yes we play some good stuff but all too often aren’t able to make it counts at the crucial time. We have a No.9 who needs penalties or else a dozen chances in front of goal before he converts one. We are also far too lightweight and don’t have anyone in the side like a Gogic or a Devlin who can give us that toughness that we would need to seriously be considered as in contention. I do think that 4th place is a realistic target for us this season. Long way to go yet but there is cause for optimism. Ultimately though this season has all the hallmarks of “another good Motherwell team that won nothing, but could have done so much more”. Which isn’t (before the ‘faithers’ start foaming at the mouth) a bad thing.

This, plus I expected to concede 4 or 5 goals from misplaced passes when we're knocking it around across the edge of the penalty box.

Get a striker in & keep hold of the gaffer i see no reason we cant be in the fight for 2nd

100% agree. To be honest, at this stage in the 'project' i'd have expected us to suffer a few heavy defeats as the players bedded in. The fact that we've progressed so far in the time available, I think is nothing short or remarkable. I'm positive that the manager can see where the issues lie and how to address them much better tha anyone on here can. I can't really imagine him not having something in mind for the transfer window that will suit the way we play.

Punditry is an easy gig, probably picking up decent money too. I don't really listen to them, with one or two exceptions, just guys and gals stating what uou can see with your own 2 eyes. Doesn't make them bad people, e.g faddy, can't not like him , michael stewrt is quite entertaining too but Sutton thinks he's turned into an art form

It was the sneering way he said it that annoyed. The host persisted and mentioned us once or twice more. At no stage did Sutton demonstrate any deeper knowledge eg our depth and quality in midfield. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

In a normal season, I would agree with this, as experience tells us this is the way things usually pan out. This isnt a normal season though. Im not suggesting we are in the title race, but to dismiss it like Sutton has shows the kind of arrogance that has led Celtic to where they are this season (with the money they have in the bank they should be miles ahead of everyone). FWIW I dont think Hearts are going away. They have the technology and the resource to strengthen in January and seem to be more astute in spending their money right now than Rangers or Celtic. We will need to address the striking position and get some cover in for Longelo and Welsh to be in the equation. But we have showed over nearly half the season that, if we can keep everyone fit, we are a match for anyone in the league.

Typical ignorant Scottish football pundit.
