If we maintain our current level of points per game we'd be on 45 points at the split that's a baw hair away from the points needed to be to 6. That would be a terrific outcome considering the huge transformational changes the club and the manager are trying to achieve.

Generally around 45/50 and our current return in points if maintained wouldn't have us far away from that

If we move from the 4-2-3-1 to a 4-4-2, the Watt and Fadinger double pivot goes, the wide attackers go, and we’re basically into a midfield diamond. That means one of the current midfield five has to be dropped to fit a second striker. Who’s that? I just don’t see it. More likely Hendry gets a run leading the line, as he’s stronger than Stama and looks better suited to playing up top on his own.

How would the team change with two up front?

11 points seems realistic.

Id like to see both AP and Hendry up front together - be interesting to see how it changes our approach current issue is unless we’re on the counter we’re quite easy to defend against , AP was up against 3 central defenders yesterday . As poor as he was that’s a tough gig . I do think we need to mix it up a bit

I think 10 pts is decent. 12 is achievable. 15 would be a phenomenal return and take us very close to safety.

I think our biggest (only real) mistake in the league so far was getting beat at home by Falkirk. Yes, we threw away points in a few games but probably we should have been looking to take 3 points from them at Fir Park.

He’s an expensive flop courtesy of Kettlewell.

3 wins - 3 draws and 1 defeat i still see us in the top 6 come new year

Nae chance, over the last 4 or 5 seasons we’ve been pissed on by the current referees for whatever reason.

We're not the getting the rub of the green at all from referees just now. Week in, week out these decisions are going against us. By contrast, Falkirk are getting all these decisions in their favour. Hopefully things will even themselves out in time.

How the hell we shelled out a lot of money ( well for us) on Stama is farcical.

After 11 games we have 15 points, so just under 50% of the total available if we keep that average up over 33 games we will claim a top 6 finish.

Just watched the Sportscene highlights, shocking defending for the Aberdeen goal, Koutroumbis caught upfield pressing high but the Aberdeen player was allowed to run in on goal and every Motherwell player backed off, no tackles or blocks and he was allowed to shoot with no intervention. Oh and Ward could have made more of an effort, his positioning was poor. I really hope we can sign another striker in January, Hendry shows promise but Stamatelopoulos is hopeless., still we never lost and its another well earned point.

Welsh and slattery star men shows how much JBA blundered last week with starting line up

Him and another one like him, please.

Typically about 43 or 44, over the last ten years or so it has been as low as 40 and as high as 50.

7 draws = 7 points 🙄

How’s many points do You normally need to make top 6 after 33 games?

17 points out of these......get your wages on it......

Given that my aim each year is a point a game then 15 points by now is a good return. If we can get the forward line working more efficiently then 12 points should easily be attainable. In saying that we are something like 4th or 5th highest scorers.

The gaffer said

The issue with the way we play is we rely a lot on the Fbs decision making which for the last 2 games has been poor. Longelo wants to beat 3/4 players every time he has the ball and Koutrombis can't play through a press because of his body shape when he receives the ball. I don't particularly like SOD but his passing is far better than JK. Watt and Fadinger are both good at recycling the ball but there not playing penatrive passes through the lines often enough for me Slattery was in good pockets multiple times and they turned and played backwards. Ward the less said the better I wanted him dropped after the 1st game of the season and continues to be like a holigram in goal.
