Do enjoy soy but also a bit of HP.......sorry.......ba boom

Part one of my prediction done, ref and VAR slated on sportscene. Also liked SK and pundits slagging them off saying anyone who’s played football knows that’s never a red card - wasn’t even a foul so no free kick, no corner, no goal. I hope the club send a letter of protest in against both the referee and VAR guy.

Not Spittal.

We can't lay all the blame at either Kelly's door nor that of the central defence. Both are equally to blame. There are other factors too of course such as a weak central midfield. However Kelly and and our central defenders are incompatible and are not right for each other. If we keep Kelly then the central defence needs to be cleared out or if we keep the central defence then Kelly needs to depart. In reality a combibation of both is likely.

Ok how many old farts heard the tune in their head when they read that?

Heading for Rugby Park allegedly.

Not sure if they've been worse but yes our defence has been poor this season as folk know.

We got Carson for 10k which was a massive bargain looking back

See Bruce Anderson leaving Livingston end of season I would be happy to have Anderson at Motherwell

If Kelly was just as good at commanding his area, distribution, and coming for crosses as he is at shot-stopping, he wouldn't be at Motherwell. Players who are competent in all areas and who consistently play relatively well will draw interest from further up the food chain. I'm not saying we should retain Kelly or that he's worth what he's getting at the moment, but the notion that some fans have that we can simply let him walk and find another keeper who's just as good or even better for less money is unlikely.

Kelly has been poor all season and deserves his share of criticism but the guys in front of him have been worse imo,the level of goals we have conceded all season has been farcical,how many free headers and goals from cross balls is that now.kelly hasn't installed any confidence but at the same time he's had no protection,not one of our defenders has done there job properly and consistently throughout the season.we have a poor selection of centre half's to pick from and have to move as many on over the summer as possible and start from scratch or we will just be at a disadvantage before a ball is even kicked next season.

A good day today in terms of results although it would have been the icing on the cake to pick up something ourselves. For us to be caught by either Ross County or St Johnstone now they need to record 2 wins and 2 draws and 2 wins and a draw respectively, and for us to pick up nothing. We should be safe enough for 9th place and the bottom 6 table will probably look pretty much as is in terms of final placings. I'd have bitten your hand off months ago to finish 10th never mind 9th. The consolation for our good friends in Dingwall and Perth is that whoever finishes 11th should coast through the play offs.

It was disappointing, but entirely expected, not take something from the game. It was always going to be a huge ask. Very disappointing too to lose Vale to a red card but again you expect that kind of incident at Pittodrie. I'm more concerned at his absence next week. Results elsewhere really went in our favour to make it a decent day. The games at Livingston and Perth were always going to be more important for us today than our own game.

And as if by magic.......

We've also had a lot of good ones in the past as well , but we're not living in the past .

Next week won't be the walkover many are expecting. However, we should be good enough for 3 points. Drop Spittal please (his Well career seems to be over) and field 2 strikers as strikers.

I have certainly criticised Kelly but not "slagged him off". I have said many times that without him 3 years ago we would have been relegated. However.......he has not been the same keeper this season, has made great saves but doesn't inspire confidence and doesn't command his area. But also at same time there have been a lot far worse keepers than him in recent years for us

Vale unavailable next week then Do we play Bair up top himself Or does Moses or Shaw play with him More realistic Moses with him I think

Ba boom 🤣🤣

Spittal dropped to bench for me, has been great for us but just been a passenger recently since pre contract with Hearts announced. Natural he won't be as up for it and wanting to avoid injury

Agree.

I doubt it. While we're all over here slagging Kelly off, we conveniently forget the absolute bomb scares we've had previously. That's the problem with having a few decent keepers over the past 15 years or so. Fans think that they're easy to come by.

Since we won at Ibrox we've played five games and been in the lead for a single minute when Moses scored at Dundee. We haven't kept a single clean sheet and have conceded goals from being unable to defend corners in every game. We've scored 5 goals with the earliest one being at 74 minutes. We were hardly in good form before today.

Post of the day, well said 👏
