Well you can take a lecture from me, I have been going to Fir Park for the last 60+ years and have always thought my team would win, whereas you always predict a defeat, doom and gloom and the end of the world, so, put a sock it!!!!!!!!!.

If you've got that impression, then it's obvious you've never spent 60 seconds in my company. Like I said previously, we can all make up metrics to prove we are a "better fan" and it's all pointless BS. Football has always been entertainment for me. The pre-game chat during the week, the banter with mates during the game, and the post-mortem with friends and family after the game. The results are almost incidental to the social interaction. My opinions on here are worth exactly the same as everyone else's. The square root of hee haw. I've be around the internet too long to expect anyone to listen, never mind care, and I know for a fact I know nothing for a fact. I see this place as a virtual pub, were fans from all over the place can gather and talk bollocks to each other over a pint, and then go home and forget about anything that was said by anyone. It's just a game I enjoy, and I'll never take it (or here) too seriously

Difficult to compete with Roy McGregor's deep pockets.

There's a lot of genuine fans on twitter but it's been hard going this season and I think Facebook is often worse

I dont use twitter but from what I've heard they're more trolls and keyboard warriors than fans.

That Taylor Swift doesn't want to give us her dosh , any chance you could give us some of your money. You're minted.

Apparently we offered Simon Murray a contract when he was at Queens Park and he laughed at our offer...

Yeah, we definitely do need to improve defensively because as you said, that should be easier to achieve than scoring more than we have.

Fair point but I still believe there is a lot of room for improvement in the defence. Some of our defending this year has been brutal and teams didn't need to work hard to get goals off us. The amout of goals we lost from corners and set pieces was frankly laughable at times. Of course others are free to feel differently just how I see it.

Absolutely. But obviously they've scored the goals where it matters. More wins while we've ve had too many draws.

Yeah, it does suggest that. Then again, Dundee have lost more goals than us and scored fewer, yet they're in the top 6, so it's not quite that simple.

Yes but no chance we could afford him. I would rather we tried for Simon Murray who is out of contract with Ross Co

"Our problem defensively this season has been losing a relatively small number of goals per game, but in almost every game" ... so does that not suggest we need to concede less goals thus getting more points from games that we narrowly lost or drew. I think it does. Sure you can argue if we score more the net improvement could be the same. However I think that's a seriously harder ask than cutting out some of the comedy gold goals we gave away.

I’m Donald Trump.

We can't afford him.

Are you Nicola sturgeon?😂

No, it doesn't. Our problem defensively this season has been losing a relatively small number of goals per game, but in almost every game. In previous years we had more clean sheets, but we took a fair few doings along the way too. Our goal difference is the best outside the top 4 and only 4 teams have lost fewer games. God knows what all those stats tell us, other than we were as close to having a pretty good season as we were a disastrous one.

Our defence has been poor this season. Think everyone knows that. However thankfully we've scored a very decent amount of goals to compensate.

You have a point but if we want to improve we need to look at being better defensively. The fact the number of goal we lose has been consistent doesnt make it good.

We can't sign KVV as far as I'm aware. He's going back to his club in Holland to see out his contract am sure which is why Killie couldn't get him on a longer term deal. Halliday is already signed on for another season. We probably won't be keeping Gent either given that he's on loan. I'd keep SOD and I hope Slattery is offered at least another year.

We've currently lost 53 goals, the same number we lost last season. In the last 10 years we've conceded fewer goals on only 2 occasions. If we manage to score 3 goals in the remaining games we'll match last season's total, which was the highest return for more than a decade. So the issue is neither the leakiest defence we've had nor a powderpuff attack. We've become harder to beat at exactly the same time we've found it harder to win. Doesn't necessarily make for great excitement, but it's not the worst we've ever suffered either.

Kevin Nisbet apparently leaving Millwall would you take him at Motherwell? I would play him next to Bair if we went in for him

Completely agree, the current squad will occasionally raise their game but will invariably disappoint , particularly the defence and the Goalkeeper. The defence needs a complete revamp. Other than keeping McGinn, Gent I'm not fussed about any of the rest. Halliday has shown bugger all that should tempt us to make his move permanent. Oli Shae needs moved out , ditto Barry McGuire. Id like to see Bair and Moses play up front next year. However if he secures Vale again I think Bair and Vale will be our front pairing. I sincerely hope we dont try and sign KVV if we lose Vale. I think Kettlewell has a big job ahead but frankly I wouldn't be looking to replace him. He deserves a chance to improve things but if we have another season like this and totally ineffective in the cups Id make the next season his last.

I don't like the playing one striker tactics. Bair would be better with a strike partner. He played Vale up top then decided to play him in deeper role

Yeah I completely agree and the clean sheet stats are poor but. We're staying up and Livi aren't. I think losing Milka to injury and then him going didn't help and really huge credit to the team for pulling us away from the play off spot.
