Congrats on your degree...not to up on kasabian, so fortunately no puns.

Funny how not being seeded is disregarded when we are unlikely to be seeded. I get the point that any team can get a tough draw, seeded or unseeded. And with so few teams involved that possibility exists. But avoiding the the likes of Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen, Hibs in the last 16 cannot be underplayed. Give me Ross County away or Falkirk or Ayr at Fir park any time over those options. Less chance of us blowing it against those teams than against any of the teams joining at the knock out stage. But we are getting ahead of ourselves. Tonight could go either way.

Yeah and Ross County away in 2017 and Hearts at home in 2019. Being seeded means next to nothing for us in this competition and as you say you can't trust Motherwell to win any cup tie against anyone.

Which ironically was during one of our best ever league campaigns.

I'm not too bothered about seeding in 23-24 we were seeded and got St Mirren away and frankly in my years supporting Motherwell I've seen plenty teams I wouldn't see in our way dump us out both the Cups. One of the worst being Albion Rovers at NDP

Think will need to be a lot of patience tonight against a stuffy Morton side. For years we have complained about style of football under Robbo, Alexander and Kettlewell. Club have now went different route with style of play so we need to give JB time to get his style in place, isn't an overnight job. Also hopefully good playing conditions tonight as previous 3 been brutal which hasn't helped 1) Clyde away, 30 degrees and a pitch made of sandpaper 2) Peterhead home, torrential showers 3) Stenny away, chucking it down and another plastic pitch.

Thank you very much. The gig was brilliant

If he scores tomorrow the stadium announcer has to play "Just" by Radio head. The announcer guy played cracking tunes when Clyde scored ( not that i was happy about us conceding 2 goals)

Well done and enjoy the concert, you are on a roll...in fact....you are on fire Ba boom

I probably won't be there tomorrow - currently in Newcastle to see kasabian and celebrating my degree results Got a 2:1 - and I was in the pub wearing my fir park corner top when someone came up and admired it - so I had to explain the story behind FPC and Motherwell 🤣 Apologies for the slight de rail

I think you’re referring to Elijah Just, who we signed from AC Horsens.

Where did we get the Justin guy? Transfer or step up to first team? I like him.

Hearts have a lot players that are better than what we have, but he's not one of them . Not good enough for hearts = not good enough for us.

He doesn’t fit into how we want to play under JBA. He would be behind miller (for now) slattery fadinger and watt so suspect we aren’t interested at all

Sometimes it's just a bad fit. Classic example for Hearts was John Sutton. Good with us, struggled at Hearts and then came back to Fir Park for a 22 goal season.

The assistant manager says

For the second time. Apparently Robbie Neilson released him but the technical director (Naismith) offered him another chance...

If he was any good its doubtful hearts would be getting rid of him to us

A good big'un beats a good little'un as they say. As usual, though, it's all about the balance across the team.

How many corners did we have on Saturday. No threat at all. Some big guys would help there as well as defending corners once we start to play better teams.

We certainly don't have any of the players similar to ones you mention. I know we need ability and get your point, but a lot of spl games are physical battles and I'm conscious most of our team are smaller. I just think we need a few bigger lads to help out. You need to win the ball and have possession in order to play.

My son can suffer as well now 😂

Why is only being 5'8" a problem its the footballing ability that counts, I guess, messi, Maradona, Gerd Muller, and many more smaller players that have been great players, would never make your team.

He's also 5 ft 8 and we already have one of the smallest squads I've seen for a while. It showed on Saturday that we lost a lot of the 50, 50 battles to the taller more physical players.
