My first game since ciftci hammered Accies. Thought I might miss it cos my day 2 PCR test results were delayed, but all worked out and I got to subject the weans to a freezing Fir Park and steak pies (which they liked), and they now have the impression that Motherwell are good. Very nice of everyone to arrange the win to recognize my travel efforts. Great to see Sol back in and Donnelly get 90 mins. Cornelius had a good game on top of the goal, and McGinley is winning me over as well. St J looked like they packed it in after the 2nd. I think they'll find a way to stay up, bit they were dugmeat going forward. Who is their striker?

Two centre halves were immense, Bevis just shading it for me

I enjoyed that today, a couple are saying "winning when not playing well", but I thought we controlled that very comfortably. Kelly only had one real save and but for a couple of bad decisions by KVV and Woolery, we could have been out of site by half time. I'm normally a nervous observer, but I was never worried today once the second goal went in. I wish we would keep playing when we are leading though, we just seemed to be happy with what we had with 15-20 minutes left and against a better team, that could have made for a more nervous finish. That said, I think we are almost at the stage when we can think top six which I didn't see happening after the league cup games.

Sondre for me, won everything and brings a calming influence at the back. I considered Cornelius, KVV and Bevis. No great failures today.

Thought the centre halfs were good today, toss up between Bevis and Sondre

A straight forward and deserved 3 points,well done boys.

A good win and a deserved one. We managed the game well in the latter stages, which was pleasing. Great to see young Dean Cornelius get hsi first goal; a real peach.

Great day at the office for us. With Aberdeen, Hibs & Dundee Utd playing each other over the next 2 games we have a real chance to kick on. Exciting times.

I’ve missed both goals. If things get tight, I’ll just leave so we score again.

The accounts from that season show "Player registration gains" of £1,036,412 - "This primarily came from the sales of defender Ben Heneghan to Sheffield United, and in January, striker Louis Moult to Preston North End." It was reported at the time that Moult was "in the region of" £500k - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42353648

Convenient story to come out right before St Johnstone at home!
